Sorry

Hey,

It was great to see you today. I'm sorry I had to leave so suddenly.

Okay, he was not arrested, but detained. Apparently, he (and friends) were walking around with a bb gun (handgun type) and somebody in the neighborhood called the police on them (thinking it was a real gun). I'm not sure what happened with the gun - he says they didn't point it anybody, but I dunno.

Now, these bb guns were given out at the festival last night. The police pulled alongside the group of boys and drew their guns - making them lie flat on the ground. Here's a point where I get upset, the one white teenager in the group was let go while the three black teenagers were detained. They couldn't explain that to me (they being the police). He tried to play it off, but he was shaken up. It makes me think of the many stories where the police shoot a suspect who had a toy gun or something that resembled a gun. Oh well, everything is okay now, I'm sure the neighbors have plenty to talk about after two police cars were at my house.

Hope the rest of your day has been uneventful.
