Prayer Needed: I am really upset

[PrezLeefun]

I just need some prayer to relax because I was just on the subway and had the worst mass transit experience of my life.


Some guy wanted to talk to me about his album and kept touching me trying to get me to listen. I told him I was not interested and asked him to stop touching me. He however continued to touch me. I told him once again to stop.

Then for the next 30 minutes he went on a verbal tirade calling me a nigger, slut, ho, fat whore, He went on to say he would ***k me up, have people in Brooklyn ***k me up, he said he would shoot me (Never have I so desperately wanted to have a gun on me.) stab me, and beat me. He then decided to call me predjudice and racist saying I was "hatin' cuz he was dark skinned" and called me evil and the devil.

For those 30 minutes I said nothing and looked the other way. But the last five mintues were by far the worse because it was at that point I thought he really may do something. My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat.

I got off the train at my stop and he stayed on, THANK GOD, but I am still shakey and very upset so I need some prayer so I can calm down and shake it off. I have never had that happen to me before so I still feel a bit nervous.

Prayers and hugs going out to you, Prezleefun. You such a nice person, and I'm sorry you got treated that way. God give you justice in His time.

[PrezLeefun]

Thank You Jag Wife. I appreciate it.

A prayer for calm has been sent, Prez. May I suggest you "lead" the clown into a corner the next time that happens? I mean, move over to some place where people seem to be gathered in a small group, and "introduce" the thing to them, and announce that he has something really, really good to show them. See what happens next. Also, if it is not illegal to do so, carry one of those easy to open knives, one with a serrated edge on it, and be prepared to use it if he gets into that still mode again. Report him to the transit authorities and if possible, take a picture of him without his knowledge, so you can show him to the police.

Prez, dear lady, my heart is with you.

The 'guy' you describe is neither a man nor a gentleman. He's just that, a guy. An obnoxious, racist, overbearing piece of shit 'guy'. Buy some mace, should you encounter this poor excuse for a human being again.

Then, sit back, relax a little, and think about all the nice people you meet during the day, both male and female, that don't call you racist words. Those will be the ladies and 'gentlemen' that you should let your mind dwell on.

I'm not much into the prayer thing, Prez, but my heart and thoughts are with you. I'm sure that you will get many prayers from your FC 'family'.

Take care,
Pete

Hopefully I wont ever see this guy again. I hadnt ever noticed him before on the subway. And this was at 6:30 in the morning so the train had plenty of people on it.

[PrezLeefun]

Thanks Pete

Sorry that happened to you, Prez. Just goes to show that their are some real jerks out there. I personally think you handled that rather well considering the circumstance. I know the good Lord will comfort you.
Prez, enjoy the rest of your day and have a good weekend.

Prez:

So sorry to hear of this unfortunate incident. I pray that God may restore peace and comfort to your soul.

Time will also heal your wounds, but remember that something will happen to him when you let God handle it. Might not happen right away, but something will happen.

I think that someone with a temper like that is bound to end up in prison...or dead. He's just lucky he didn't assault someone who was armed or just as crazy. Someday he will screw up and assault the wrong person.

[PrezLeefun]

Thank You guys. I feel better already.

[Patriot Heart]

He was a mental case Prez, I am sure you know that. Don't take what he said personally. Not that any of this makes what happened less scary. God Bless you and I will pray for your safety on the subway.

As Rush says, if you let people upset you, you let them control you. Look at it as an unfortunate but one-time encouter with one of N'Yawk's major-league arsewipes (of which the city is full to overflowing).

You tolerated the dumb bastard for half an hour and then got on with your life. He has to live with himself 24/7. What you saw for a short time, he sees in the mirror every day: a loser. You look in the mirror and see a winner.

Go for the gold, and let the idiot crawl in his self-made sewers.

First, please get out of New York if at all possible.That would never have happened to a lady in east Texas.Some "Bubba" would have put his lights out before he got the first three words out of his mouth.Second, carry a very sturdy umbrella,even if its not raining.A good pop to the groin area with one of those short,stiff,collapsable umbrellas will have him singing with a very high voice for a long time.Third always try to travel with a trusted companion when possible.

[PrezLeefun]

Thank You guys. I was praying silently the whole time. Several times I wanted to say something (and beleive me I had some good come backs) but I choose not to speak cuz the next step would have been him phyically assaulting me. When I got off the train (thank God he stayed on) I doubled over from nerves.

The important thing is it didnt go further and I am feeling much better. Thanks for the prayer.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

I'm so sorry for what happend to you Prez! I've been unable to get on FC as much as I'd like because of some family stuff going on, so I missed this thread earlier, but you know I pray for you daily anyway! I'm so glad you're feeling better though! I'll make sure to send up another prayer for added comfort and peace today. Keep in mind, He offers the kind of peace that passes ALL understanding, so just rest in Him and He will provide rest.

Bless you, hun!

[PrezLeefun]

Thank You Homes..... I hope everything with your family goes well.

[Timberwolf]

Wow, Prez...all I can say is, I'm glad you're alright and that you'll continue to be in my prayers.

Not to make light of what happened, but this is but one of the reasons why I'm glad I don't live in a large metro area.
