I was gardening in my fenced in (6' high non-see through fence) when a large (dare I say) black man came scurrying through the gate and ran up to me. He was very agitated and babbling about someone taking his girlfriend and he needed help. I calmly told him to call 911 and was somewhat skeptical. But I went ahead and hauled him into my house (I know, I know - stupid) and forced him to call 911 which he did. I know he dialed it and spoke with someone because they called right back and asked if the call had come from my house; when I said yes they said I should leave the house immediately. The man was an parolee being currently chased by the police and was carrying a gun. I never saw the gun. Anyway, it played out and I was never in danger. He only wanted to get away. But it could have turned out very different. Course had I been carrying, and a fight over the gun took place? Interesting. At least now I know what to do but in that case I was practically bossing this guy around. Looking back it was hysterically funny. He truly must have thought I was nuts.
