it's a floating black guy head.  There is nothing about that pic that says anything else.  he could be a mugger, student, athlete, or minister. It's d a head! if that is supposed to make it scarier that says a lot more about your prejudices than mine.

maybe he just was using the quarter line as a means to ask you out on a date lol

Bayou..i have been to NO.  I'm very aware that it has a high crime rate.  I may have done the exact same thing in your situation.  Like I said, I am just going by what you said.  Your initial statement was that 3 guys asked you for a quarter and you pulled a gun on them. No matter how you slice that, at face value, it sounds hostile.  It sounds a little less hostile when you explain you somehow knew their intent (dubious but makes you sound like less of a pyscho), but the idea that just the image of his head is supposed to illicit fear takes me back to thinking your response may have more to do with your own judgement of people.

unless he was the guy who asked you for the quarter, how extensive his background is is totally unrelated to you threatening non-related people with a gun.

bayou.. some people fit the stereotype of wha ta gay guy looks like and some of the "gayest" people look liek the last people you would expect to be gay. Ho w often do we here about some self-righteous minister or poltician who is loudly anti-gay being caught in gay scandal?   besides, it was a supposed to be a joke.  Not implying you are gay.  Just lightening the moment

I tried pulling a 9mm on some thugs once but it didn't help.  I guess if I had actually had a gun to put the 9mm in it probably would have been more effective...
