Here's a scary El moment, brought to you by a Tattler reader. Post your fun stories here and we'll spotlight the best of them.
I once witnessed a pretty scary moment. But first lemme say that I myself have spent some good times in the Hobo Corner. It's a good place to have a drink or whatever.
So anyway, I was on the Orange Line going to Midway. The car I was on wasn't that full. But the key players in this story are: a young white girl, sitting alone; a young scary looking Mexican kid, maybe 20-23 years old sitting directly behind her; a middle aged black guy (not a professional, but not a bum or anything); and a few randoms.
So we're riding, and all of the sudden I hear someone (it turned out to be the Mexican kid) yell "BOOM!!!" And you see people on the train kind of looking around like what the hell was that? It turned out that this Mexican kid had pointed his finger at the back of the girl's head like it was a gun and pretended to pull the trigger.
So he gets up (this is around the Randolph Orange Line stop) and he walks up to the black guy and stands right in front of him -- and you can tell the Mexican guy is totally wasted. Either tripping or drunk or I don't know .... But he was in another world. And he gets in the black guy's face, and he starts saying, “You hungry man? You hungry???”
