For example, this guy?

Teaches moral philosophy.

And this creepy dude?

He’s your astronomy professor.

“Yeah, but he’s supposed to be really good about keeping regular office hours.”

“that guy behind us is following you,” she said. “he was watching you leave the train car and followed you up.”

i hadn’t noticed him, or at least not noticed him following me. when we stopped outside a grocery store, he stopped half a block back and loitered. the woman linked her arm with mine and walked me several blocks out of her way to my front door and made sure i got inside safely.

another time, nocigar and i were walking home and at a stoplight a stranger grabbed my arm when i wouldn’t respond to him and tried to physically drag me over to him. she—who is, by the way, not a very physically imposing girl—ripped his hand off my arm and snarled, “don’t fucking touch her.”

“Those guys behind us were talking about following you. We can walk with you.” 

Terrorist Shooting At Louisiana Theater Leaves 3 Dead, Including Gunman

A gunman opened fire Thursday night in a movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana, killing two people and himself. The shooter, identified on Friday as John Russel Houser, 59, was described by police as a “drifter” who was living in a motel.

As moviegoers settled in for the comedy “Trainwreck,” John Russell Houser stood up and fired 13 shots using a .40-caliber handgun, police said. Authorities also said that Houser had parked his car near the theater’s exit, so that he could get a quit escape. But when he reportedly tried to leave with others in the theater who were trying to flee, and he saw police responding, he turned into the crowd and shot himself

Police identified the two victims as 21-year-old Mayci Breaux and 33-year-old Jillian Johnson. Nine other people were wounded. Both are being hailed as heroes for saving their friends.

Teachers Jena Meaux and Ali Martin survived the attack, but both reportedly suffered gunshot wounds. Gov. Bobby Jindal says one of the women leaped in front of the other in an effort to protect her – and that the second woman then activated a fire alarm in the theater.

“The sound of that alarm caused an evacuation of the rest of the movie theater,” The Times-Picayune reports, citing a witness who was at another movie showing in the theater.

Jindal described what happened:

“One teacher literally jumping over her friend, potentially saving her life. Second teacher felt like that bullet would have hit her in the head if her friend hadn’t jumped on her. The second teacher was shot anyway, in the leg — had the presence of mind to pull that fire alarm.”

Several news stations are already pinning the “mental illness” and “lone wolf” narrative on this terrorist. 

Police are still looking for a motive for the shooter, but so far no futher details have surfaced.
