I once got attacked by a random guy on the sidewalk in Chicago. He was carrying something heavy over his shoulder - I still don't know what - and when I walked past him apparently he decided I had the wrong "energy" so he yelled at me to get my attention, then lashed out at me and missed. He then proceeded to follow me for nine blocks, muttering and yelling homophobic slurs at me the entire way until I ducked into a bodega and hid until he walked off.

I have no idea what possessed him to ambush me or stalk me for that long, since I didn't say anything and I wouldn't even have looked at him if he hadn't yelled out at me.

Carrying something heavy on his shoulder. Followed truthsmasher for 9 blocks.
