So I work for myself which means sometimes I am home researching at random hours. I finally had enough of researching how to argue the USAO matrix should be applied in the instant matter despite the general rule and I head on off to the bar. This relatively large Mexican fellow starts talking to me off and on through remainder of the evening. He's being annoying but not confrontational or actually insulting. I put up with it and eventually its closing time. Mind the guy is piss drunk. He's also propositioning women and otherwise being a lewd drunk. So I leave and go to the store by the bar. He follows me. The store clerk is a Cadian and the cousin of a friend that co owns the El Cajon branch of my gym. So the guy wants me to guy him beer, which I decline to do. The clerk says he can't sell to him anyway. The clerk says hi and I relay the recent happenings to him loud enough so i thought for the Mexican fellow to hear despite now being directly outside the store. I mention if he follows me home its going to be an issue. So I leave and the guy isn't right next to me but he is behind me trying to start conversation. I took went towards my apartment via the alley route as I was concerned he might be trying to follow me to rob me and the alley is darkly lit and shrouded from the public view. He keeps talking about getting faded or at least along those line. Finally I get to the gate to my complex. I tell him it was nice talking but I am going to sleep. He tries to walk in and I push him back. He says something about I thought we were cool. I try to close the gate again and he grabs it. This whole time he is not being threatening but there is a limit in this world. I kicked the gate knocking him back and he put up his hands and asks if i think I have hands. I showed him i did and put him by the dumpster. Was this out of line or would you have done the same. I am trying be more professional in demeanor as I am thinking this is the year to get to know people in my vocation as most my stuff is done for or with people out of town. But I mean what was I supposed to do.
