A name most of you, if not all of you do not know - I myself have trouble remembering it and had to try and find it.
This is a story I wanted to share that was inspired by Mr. Bob
Way back in 1985-86 this man shot 6 policemen in Melbourne. What on earth does this have to do with me I hear you ask!
He was not captured immediately, if memeory serves me well one of the police that did not die in this incident ended up a quadruplegic.
He was hunted by the authorities for a while and one fine day, I am sitting at school being told we must have someone come collect us as this person was seen in our area, in a street that even had an alley connected to the school grounds.
My brother came to get me and we went home (though I seem to recall he ran off cause he was mean).
I later went to visit a friend who lived 4 doors from us and we stayed in and then watched neighbours. When I realized how long I had been there andthat it was dark out, I got a little worried. Search helicopters were circling our area but I had to go home. I left my friends house and walked out of the driveway and the next thing I knew the search light was on me! I was scared out of my skin thinking this mad man was right behind me so I ran as fast as I could - lept over our fenceand started hammering on our front door likeĀ I had seconds to live!
Nothing happened to me theat night and the killer was eventually gunned down in the country somewhere.
Just rememeber I was about 9 years old so you can get an idea of my reasons for fear!!
