Ok, so I've been driving down into the heart of East St. Louis delivering loads of corn to a place called Bunge, why on earth they put a grain elevator right down in the middle of town like that I'll never know.
Its close to the river but they could've chosen a thousand other locations just as close, I mean its RIGHT there next to the skyline and Ed Jones dome, its **** ing stupid... so anyway, the truck route out takes you through some super seedy looking places.
For the last 3 days there has been a white, lets say 04-07 Cadillac, parked off near an underpass in tall weeds... it hasnt moved nor have I ever seen anyone around it.
Why hasnt anyone went to investigate this abandoned, newer model car parked out in the weeds near an underpass
? Guess thats just the inner city where things like that go unnoticed for too long, its been a long while since I've been down into the bad sides of big cities.
But today, while another guy and I waited for a reeeally long train to pass in this TOTALLY ambush ready area down there (no one would see a thing down in this mess) I see a car pull up and stop about 100 feet behind us... I'd heard the stories about hijackings in this area so I put the truck in reverse so they could see I had it there to ram their ass and back out of there if need be.
Long story short, they sat in the car for maybe two minutes, just as the very slow moving train starts to pass so we could go I notice the back doors open up on that car... me and the other guy moved out in a hurry.
But as soon as they seen that we were no longer stuck, they pulled a u turn and went the other way... my heart was racing because all I had was a tire iron type thing we use to unload the trailer.
You're not supposed to cross state lines with firearms, but you better bet that my .38 is coming tomorrow... had we been stuck there at the tracks any longer, they were gonna hold us up.
It was a damn shitty feeling to be sitting there with only a non-projectile firing piece of metal nearby.
MOTHER **** east st. louis and all of the pieces of shit in it, third day down there and was almost robbed... those people make me sick.
