Angry skin heads!

Well my weekend was .... interesting to say the least! it was pretty quiet which included a bit of study for my upcoming tests for uni and also supermarket shopping with my flatmates! so all in all it was a pretty average weekend.... until last night

One of my flatmates and his girlfriend decided to cook us spaghetti bolognaise so while we were waiting for dinner, a few rounds of be-bes were shot at our target range at the back of our section, our target rage usually consists of a few cardboard boxes stacked against the fence, anywayz i decided to join in on the fun and shoot a few, my gun-happy flat mate who is in the army was showing me how to shoot a gun properly doing the macho thing, anywayz as i was shooting away two guys came round the fence, initially i thought they were friends with my other flat mate who wasnt there at the time but this thought was soon dashed away when one of them came about one inch away from my flatmates face and told him that if one more be be came over the fence he would put someone in hospital ( i think he meant one of us) he also threatened to bring his real gun over and pop a few caps on our asses if we continued. The whole situation FREAKED me out, this guy was very angry. When me and my flat mate discussed it later he informed me that the dude who tried to intermidate him reaked of alcohol, apparently the reason he came over in the first place was because they were having a party for their 1 year old child.

I can understand that the guy who came over wanted us to stop, i mean if we are shooting in the direction of children even if there is a fence blocking the way, i wouldnt feel comfortable either, what i cant understand is why he couldnt talk to us in a reasonable manner, i mean if it was me i would just say " hey do you mind not doing that, we have kids over in that direction and the be-bes are coming over the fence" if he had done that i would have apologised and said no problem - wont happen again. The other thing that puzzels me is that at the time he came over i was the one holding the gun, i was the one making shots at the fence, and yet he got all up in my flatmates face - not mine.

Anywayz so this led to quite a debate when my confrontational loving flatmate came home, he of course didnt care what this guy said to us and was going outside shooting his be-be gun, thankfully he wasnt shooting at the fence that seperates us and our angry neighbours...

I really want to reach out to his guy who threatened us but i fear for my safety, does anyone have any suggestions on how i could mend the bridge as neighbours? I hate to admit it but last night i was afraid of this guy, my flat mates would probably tell me off if i admitted that to them, its amazing just how different the reaction was between me and my male flatties, they were ready to get beat this guy up, while i just wanted to stay clear and avoid any confrontation.

I know i shouldnt let anyone intemidate me, i know i have to stand up for myself, but when someone threatens to put you in hopsital it really changes things, i thought i was so much stronger than this! oh well the valuable lesons we learn....
