I’m not quite sure how to word this but I got threatened at the place I work at.

It’s weird, because I can’t quite say that it was a direct threat.

Basically what happened is that two kids walked into the store asking for a lighter. Age restriction. I don’t give a fuck and actually give them some recommendations on some places that could possibly serve the needs they want in terms of a 2 dollar fucking bic lighter. Instead, they beg me for it, before asking me if I heard of what happened to the neighboring 7/11.

Mind you, the neighboring 7/11 got raided by multiple kids ranging from the age of 14-20. Ironic number, because I know one of the ones who is a regular who is 20 that is obviously connected to the two that came in later.

The two asked me if I heard of “Lee” who got his head cracked with a vase at the counter. I promise you, genuinely, because I thought they were shooting the shit after me telling them about the neighboring places that they could get “goods” from (oh shit, fed activity), I responded by showing them my 10 inch karambit and telling them I wasn’t worried about it. (didn’t flick it/show blade, didn’t try to brandish it as in “hey I’ll hurt you”, just simply like “hey i’m good, no worries”)

It wasn’t until they left immediately after “brandishing” that I realized they were trying to threaten me with that 7/11 comment. I genuinely had no idea. Now, I wonder if I should get a autism diagnosis. Only because I asked two people who came in afterwards if it sounded like a threat and they agreed. What do you all think? I honestly feel like an asshole for “brandishing” a weapon towards some kids who were literally talking about someone cracking a head at the neighboring gas station and me showing that I can defend myself; not even in a “fuck you way” but like “hey, I"m alright”.

I dunno, do I get a lawyer after this?
