Right okay, some random shizz has happened recently and its strange when you come into first hand contact with this type of behaviour it really makes you think about stuff.
Basically, im in Kent uni and my main group of friends all live in this block of accomodation flats called Tyler Court. Theres 9 rooms to share one kitchen. And friends with all of the people that share that kitchen but theres this one random guy who also lives there. Hes an international student from dubai called Saif and he never leaves his room or talks to anyone despite people trying to be friendly to him. I dont live in their flat but I practically do as im such good friends with all of them and in the entire first year so far iv only seen him once!
Basically me and friends have this 'drunk poster' (hey we are uni students dont judge) that we have on the wall in the kitchen that we write random messages and quotes to each other on when we get back to theirs from a night out etc. the other week he stormed in randomly ripped the poster down and said we are offending his religion. That was kinda a shock to the system like ermm okay sorry...
then my friend jamie yesterday walked past his room and heard him talking on the phone and basically he said he are all sinners and that we are all going straight to hell. He singled out my friend jamie saying he wil burnt for eternity because he is gay and my friend susan he singled out for no apparent reason. He also said on the phone that' tomorrow I will teach them all a lesson and it will all be over once my people come to the kitchen'.
He also said he has devices in the kitchen saying he can hear everything we are saying.
another thing he has done is if he ever sees any of the girls in the corridor he puts his hand up and covers their face when he walks past so he doesnt have to see them.
All this has pretty much freaked everyone out. I know its probably him just trying to freak all of us out but regardless no one wants to hear they are going straight to hell and the threat of 'it will all be over tomorrow' its quite scary even though its him just trying to stir.
Regardless we phoned campus watch and they knocked on his dorm. He refused to come to the door but he did eventually and suddenly came out with all this crap that we offend his religion daily and that we have gone in his room and gone through his computer files! WTF!
Now my friend jamie is sleeping in his friends dorm in another flat as hes too scared to be with Saif and my friend susan who was at home for her reading week is staying home until he has gone.
I know it all sounds like rubbishy drama that nothing will really come of but its just scary to come face to face with this kind of thing you always see on tv. With some random shooting in some chicago uni lecture hall i heard about it all comes to light and really makes you think about all this kind of crap.
So yeh...creepy!
The thing that has really annoyed me is my friend jamie being told hes going to burn in hell for being gay and that Saif's friends will teach him a lesson. He was shaking for ages after hearing that.
I guess it just brings to light all the random horrible intolerance in the world that iv never really experienced before until now.
anyways sorry about rabble session...i know its him with all false threats that he probably wont follow up on but still, scary society we live in now-a-days i guess.
