Might be in the wrong place, feel free to move it or just delete it, I am more just putting it into words than anything else to try and make sense of
it.
I live in Fairbanks, there is a drug/alcohol problem up here no question.
Took my Staffordshire terrier out for a walk downtown, beautiful day partly cloudy light breeze about 75 degrees F.
My Staffy Kira is very well behaved when it's just me and her (otherwise she is hyper vigilant if our old husky is with us), every interaction she
has had with people up here has been awesome.
So, I am walking up to an intersection and there is a guy on the other side of the street, we make a right and continue to do our normal walk. All of
a sudden, she pauses and alerts on the guy across the street. I look and he is staring at us, I give her a little tug and she responds by following.
we go about a half a block, and she alerts again on the guy who is matching us across the street with a stout stick he started banging on the light
pole just glaring at us. I shift my stance so I can keep him in view (open carry state and yes I am carrying) we get to the end of the block and I see
him stop and pick up a good-sized rock couple pounds.
So at this point I break off the walk and take a zig zag path back to the apartment.
Now I say all of that and will follow up with I grew up in an area in florida that has a metric ton of drugs coming through so encounters with people
whos minds are fried, nothing new. (Admittedly I am ignorant of side effects with the newer drugs)
Had several encounters with drunks up here, no big deal, been in the middle east downtown off the beaten path and felt people glaring hate and wanting
to hurt me given a chance.
This felt different the guy flat creeped me out, it wasn't just threatening it felt malevolent towards me and my dog, drunken drugged out
friendliness no problem, threatening I can manage it this threw me for a loop.
I get odds are high it was just someone drugged out on some new designer drug, but I work with a guy who is fairly religious, and we have had several
interesting discussions about the spiritual world, and I imagine this is influencing my thoughts a bit because his favorite description for things
like this is demonic presence.
Anyways thats all, hopefully this takes the edge off so I can sleep.
