    either something intensely creepy is going on or your handicapped neighbor is running a black-market kosher butchery from inside your apt. complex. Check under his baseball cap for the hidden pais.

    That would have scared the hell out of me. Especially after the lights. I don't know, I'd at least talk to somebody about it, maybe talk the apartment manager? It could be something reasonable, like he heard something and went outside and was a little freaked out, but better to be safet than sorry.

    I don't blame you for being creeped out. Part of the reason my dog is now totally pottying on pads and not walking is because I would get creeped out having to walk her late at night (and she poops at all hours).

    If you don't want to get a gun you could get a taser. They aren't cheap but they are less scary to carry around than a gun. I'm thinking of getting one.

    Quick blip about the taser. It's a very effective weapon, but it has drawbacks. The ones for consumers aren't as strong as the ones police officers carry. Also, they carry the same risk pepper spray does: self-assault. When you use pepper spray you can inadvertently wind up getting a face full of it yourself. Same with a taser. If you shoot someone and the hook works its way out of the clothing and finds your skin, zap! Happened to a friend of mine. He's a cop and heshot a guy and went to cuff him. The hook worked its way out of the guy's jacket and onto my friend's hand. Bzzt! They're useful but if you get one, make sure it comes with an "oh shit" beam. If it's a one shot puppy you have one shot. And get one that is also useful as a stun gun once the cartridge is deployed.

    ^^^^
    was just about to make a similar post, one of my friends was going to get me a taser but I have heard a few horror stories since then and decided not to bother. Plus I never go outside so what's the point? to tackle possums? lol

    But yeah apparently a lot of them dont have safety latches and a lot of people zap themselves in their purse looking for thei rphone or something.

    OP - sounds liek you got the creepies now! Be sensible, report him if you want to, but I also liked the point that we dont have to feel like victims all the time, unless he is one of those people that use a wheelchair but can really walk, I dont think you have too much to fear from a man in a wheelchair with a knife....

    Make a stop-in at the local police department. Tell them you want to speak to a detective. If there have been any recent stabbings in the area (or, the close by wheel chair accessible parts) then you may have found them their suspect. If not, you can get a police officer to go knock on the guy's door and talk to him about how his brandishing a butcher knife might not be the best idea. Forget the apartment manager. This is a job for police.

    Talk about some fill-in-the-blank paranoid motherfuckers.

    The weird ones are those NOT armed at four o-clock in the morning.

    What - having a tazer on his lap is going to be more comforting than a butcher knife?

    Hmmm. Handicapped and probably limited income - $300 tazer or $20 knife. Hard choice alright.

    Look at it from the muggers point of view: wheel chair guy without butcher knife or wheel chair guy WITH butcher knife. Decisions... decisions.

    But, I guess people should go out there ready to be victims for your false sense of safety.

    Oh call the police on him! Try to have him evicted! What justification does he have for walking on the public streets (or even the streets he pays rent for?)

    And people wonder why the government thinks it's alright to ban shampoo bottles on airplanes and listen to our phone calls.

    George Bush isn't the fascist (ok, maybe he is) - but definitely the people who think it's OK to call the police on someone for enjoying the peace and quiet (while prepared for trouble.)

    He was probably looking at you weirdly because most women lock themselves up in the house (or some public place) after dark. On the jogging trails one can practically tell the time when there is no one but men out there.

    the "one shot" thing is why I'm sort of on the fence about getting one. I know you can get them with a laser sight on them so it's a lot harder to miss, but still you never know. And I never heard about the hitting yourself thing, but I can see how it could happen. I'm just a little nervous about having a gun and being responsible for owning a lethal weapon.

    What kind of neighborhood do you live in? The kind where if you were out late/early you'd want to carry a weapon, or a safer one? If it's a relatively safe place I'd be at least a little weirded out by the butcher knife. Maybe he is worried about getting mugged, maybe he's had a bad experience in the past, whatever... it's just not an everday thing (well, everynight, that is) that you see someone going out with a big-ass knife in plain view.

    Ok, and this is an excessively paranoid thought, but do you know the guy at all? I mean, he's been living there a while, you know for sure he's got a handicap requiring a wheelchair? While this is most likely not the case, there have been some killers (ie Ted Bundy) who have used a faked handicap to lure a victim. I highly doubt, though, that this guy would be pretending to need a wheelchair all the time in order to attack people who live near him. Oh yeah, and in open view, right? Just a crazy-paranoid thought I'm tossing out there.

    my bf calls me a paranoid american... and this is why:

    fuckthat, that guy is nutty. wheelchair or not. maybe he doesn't even really need the wheelchair... that's his alibi or whatever.

    he was so going to rape and kill tampa. not to scare you but if i were tampa that's what would be running in my head.

    but, this is coming from a girl who thought the perfect murderer should dress up like a mormon and carry the weapons in a knapsack. knock on a door, and ask if you can go inside to preach about mormon. then, kill em. i thought this up when i was 10...

    That is FUCKED up.

    Yeah, my dog can piss on the floor before I walk her at 4 am. Even though she is a 75 pound black pit bull.... If some freak shoots her, I'm still dead and raped. Not to be morbid, but fuck

    Maybe the guy was scared, but.... okay if somebody caught me with a butcher knife, I would offer some explination. Like, "Sorry I was scared that somebody was going to knock me out of my wheel chair and rob me, so I grabbed this giant knife..." The fact that he didn't ACKNOWLDGE why he had the knife is fucked up.......

    What if he realy was looking for somebody to stab?? At least you can out run him. Not to be mean, but FUCK!

    I believe that EVERY woman (well, every mentally stable woman) should learn how to use a gun, and own one for their home protection. I think it's absolutely silly not to.

    well, at least you are upstairs. He can't climb stairs! bwahahaha. ok maybe not so funny, but it is true.
    I am pretty brave and and also a fool...so I probably would have gone up to the top of the stairs, then asked him what the hell he was doing out at 4am with a butcher knife.
    Seriously, though, call the cops AND the apartment manager ASAP.

    Okay... my boyfriend thinks that I'm paranoid too. But he's the type of guy who grew up in middle America, farmland, and really is too trusting of everyone (ie- never locks his doors). The fact is, the situation scared me... a lot. I did not feel comfortable talking to the man. Honestly, I was just scrambling to get back into the safety of my apt. as soon as possible.

    I did call the police just to let them know what happened. So I guess, if I end up chopped up in little pieces somewhere, there will be a record of a report (ok, that's my fucked up sense of humor at work).

    The bf thinks that getting a gun is a bad idea. And this is sort of an interesting thing to me. Most men that I talk to think that I should not get a small handgun and a concealed weapons permit, while almost all women agree that I should. Is it because most men don't realize how scary it can be to be a single woman, living alone?

    You can still miss with a laser sight. When you deploy, 2 small hooks come out, and they deploy in different directions (when you get tased, the only area, or muscles that are affected are the muscles BETWEEN the 2 hooks only). The range on a taser is about 25 feet, give or take. Even if you have the sight right in the middle of the back, you can still wind up getting one in the shoulder and one in the calf (ideal shot), but one hook could miss. This chance of missing, plus the chance of multiple suspects is why the tasers police carry have an extra cartridge on the grip.
    You also have to consider the likelihood of needing a taser. Most people have a skewed fear of being victimized, but in Tampa's case, I think she's justified in feeling the way she does.
    Strippers are also prime for victimization because of the work they perform. It's just the way it is.

    I didn't know all that about tasers. It's starting to sound less and less like something I'd want. I live alone and am not really nervous about being in my house because it's pretty secure but it's when I have to drive alone at night that I get nervous. And the kind of thing Tampa described is scary, and what's really scary is that it wouldn't surprise me at all to see the same thing around where I live.

    I don't think you're being paranoid, I 'm pretty sure Deogol is male and from a females perspective anyone man, woman, wheelchair, peg leg, two strong legs coming at you at fast speeds is going to make you defensive. Do whatever you need to do, I hope you stay safe.

    I definitely feel paranoid now... which sucks. I stuck a little knife in my coat pocket this morning when I took Chloe out. I live in a nice, upscale area, but unfortunately, the crime from the nearby bad neighborhoods is spilling over into my neighborhood. Just the other day, there was a random robbery and shooting about a mile from where I live. Because there are a lot of big homes and wealthy people where I live, it seems this area is becoming a crime target.

    Sucks cause I just moved here two months ago.
