If you see a guy in Pigtown going door to door selling magazines, DO NOT let him in or anywhere near your house. He stopped by the cafe a few minutes ago, and would NOT take no for an answer…and the whole thing seemed like a scam anyway. Once he realised I was NOT about to buy any of his goddam magazines, he started behaving in an erratic manner…so I called the police. So far they are nowhere to be found, but perhaps that will change.
The guy — his name is “Jeremiah”. Black male, 20s, 6 feet tall (give or take an inch or two), wearing a white shirt, dark jeans, and sneakers. Total nutjob. He also tells a long tale about being from New Orleans and losing everything because of Katrina. I’m hoping that’s true and he didn’t make it up to play on peoples’ sympathies, and I’m sorry about all of that, but it’s not a good sales pitch. Really.
Update: Police showed up, and the guy decided to argue with the police officer…who wasn’t buying his story (and I doubt the officer bought any magazines…) so the officer told him to get lost or go to jail. And if the guy comes back to the neighborhood…if anyone sees him and calls the police…he’s off to jail. I hope he never comes back. Freak. And the last I saw him, he was headed towards Ridgely’s.
