Somehow when I was around 15 years old my friends and I found ourselves at a party which we later found out was Marilyn Manson’s. This was not by choice mind you. We were the most straight laced kids really!! haha. But anyways it was at this abandoned warehouse. The only things in the warehouse were refrigerators stuffed to the brim and spilling out apples oranges and bananas. There were insane laser lights everywhere and no chairs or anything else to eat or drink. Just random fridges with fruit and a fog machine on steroids. We were laughing at the strange people packing the place, dancing like idiots and we wondered -however did we find ourselves here?
All of a sudden we saw riot police officers through the windows with shields completely surrounding the place. The last thing I heard before screaming, was my friend (who drove us) say “Your mother is going to kill me” and then panic broke out. People started running, screaming, pushing and freaking out . Then suddenly everyone dropped to the ground except me….I thought they had all been shot and killed, if not for the moaning. I walked my way over the crowd and out the front door. “Hi officer, I don’t know how I got here or what is going on, but my mother is going to kill me. I need to find a pay phone.” They let me out and I waited for my friends who were released a while later. I made a call to my mom and told her to watch the news, she asked why and I explained I was coming home and would tell her all about it.
Turns out the place had been tear gassed! The cops told me that a small percentage of people are immune to it and I am one of those talented beings. Another reason why I’d have been the greatest criminal!! The cops got a kick out of it and actually stayed talking with me and my buddies. They even let me talk them into ‘arresting’ me in front of the news cameras. They pushed me on the hood of their cop car, it was awesome. I thought how funny it would be if my mom saw me get arrested… she would flip out. But she didn’t see me…bummer. Wish there had been Tivo then, that would have been the greatest footage to have and show my kids. My friends did get a pic of me getting arrested and if I ever find it I will post it!
Have a great day guys! Don’t get tear gassed. Apparently it is extremely painful! haha
