Was driving home from work about 2 weeks ago, and noticed something happening, that put me a little on edge. Not to the point of drawing, but it definatly moved me up to condition Orange.
I just want to see what everyone thinks this situation was.....I am leaving out some information that helps clear it up, until I post later on.
Location:
Outside of a small town, 2 highways converge. 4 lanes seperated by 5-20ft of grass in between each lane. 2 Lane road runs perpendicular to the 4 lanes.
If you are going north, there is a 2-way light (hwy splitting into 2), if you are going south, there is a 3-way light (2 hwys merging).
At the 3 way light, the right lane goes first, then left, (both going south) then the road going east/west.
Perpendicular road going east to west, private driveway to a farm to the east, and a road out of town to the west.
This is a spot where you have never seen anyone pan handle, hitchhike, or step out of their vehicle.
Situation:
You are travelling south, 2nd car out of about 8 sitting at the traffic light. The road going east/west has the green, so you are going to have to wait for 2 traffic signal changes before you can pass the intersection.
Older junky car (car A) going west stops between the north and southbound lanes, and pulls into the grass. One passenger gets out, and starts to walk away from the car.
The other passengers wait, despite having a green light, and appear to be encouraging the person who got out. Their car is about 30 yards away, to your 10:30.
The person walking (person A) looks back at Car A and watches as the other 3 people in car A point to your truck. Person A starts walking directly towards your car door. Everyone in Car A seems to be yelling encouragement towards Person A, although since your window is rolled up, you can't hear what it is.
Person A is now making direct eye contact with you, and is clearly moving towards your vehicle, ignoring the other vehicles in the group.
While you can occasionally see Person A's hands, you can't see any weapon.
Ok, now the question.
Is this person a threat? Is this the start of a car jacking?
I will post later on what happened directly after this, which will add more clues, as unfortunatly, I still don't know for sure. But the above information is all I had to go on until Person A got to less than 20' to my door.
