A Guy Tweeted His Story of Accidentally Smuggling Drugs and It Should Seriously Be a Movie

Do this mental exercise with me… imagine that your best friend calls you up and randomly invites you on a road trip. You’d say yes, right?

And then you find $40,000 worth of heroin.

I’m not going to give anything else away because ALL of this is edge-of-your-seat reading.

It all started with a random phone call from a friend.

They make the necessary arrangements and away they go!

And, yanno, they buy a van to make the trip more comfortable…

Next, they stopped in Santa Barbara.

It was all going great!

But Shane had an idea: “What if I make some modifications to the van?”

Aside from some strange shit going on with the engine, everything else was going smoothly…

They camped at Mt. Shasta and enjoyed the view.

Eventually, though, the van need some fixing…

And now, the REAL story begins.

They found an entire BRICK of drugs…

And then somebody unexpected shows up…

They thought they were royally screwed…

Luckily nothing happened even though it was a close call.

So what did they do? Well… maybe some of us would do this, but not many…

Now, this is where everything goes wrong.

Yes, the guy who put the brick in the van came calling…

However, Shane managed to outsmart him.

How many of you would have tried this? I wouldn’t have…

So, he quickly got in touch with the guy he sold the van to and started making arrangements.

Shane keeps going with the scam…

To make everything look more genuine, he added a little twist.

The only thing left was to make a fake heroin brick.

And then… it was showtime!

That’s when Shane realized he had gotten involved with the wrong crowd.

No one suspected anything; the plan worked.

Or did it?

They agreed on $5000.

But, this is where sh*t actually got real.

Yep, Shane got caught.

However, there was some room for doubt.

Though he talked his way out of the mess, it was still not over.

Then Shane found himself in yet another situation.

They were the same guys.

And they finally found out…

It was a life and death situation, so Shane escaped when he got the chance.

He continued to play dumb and actually made it out alive.

As it turns out, they were MS-13 gang members.

So, what did you think about Shane’s story? Would you have done the same?

Oh, you wouldn’t have? ME NEITHER!!!!!

Jeezus…

“Don’t Get Under the Table:” Teacher Shares Tips to Survive an Active Shooter Scenario

One of the sadder aspects of life for younger generations of Americans is that they’ve had to live with the specter of school shootings their whole lives. For a lot of kids, practicing active shooter drills is just a fact of life.

The nagging reality of this threat was further highlighted in this Twitter thread by “V” (@lareinavicc).

“V” recently received active shooter training through her job, and felt that the lessons she learned needed to be more widely shared.

A lot of people took her to task with her comment of “and likely,” which she felt she needed to clarify further:

The sad truth is that in 2017, nearly 40,000 Americans were killed in shooting accidents – a number that is truly staggering considering we’re one of the most prosperous, developed nations in the world. While V did admit later on that the word “likely” was a bit of an exaggeration and probably not the best choice of words, the survival tips she shared are still incredibly useful.

Some of these tips might seem obvious as you read them, but rational thinking often jumps out the window when you’re in a panic-inducing situation, so it’s important to really internalize the information as much as possible.

It’s critically important to be aware of your surroundings in a survival situation, and find ways to use those surroundings to your advantage.

When all else fails, you’ll have to fight for your survival. Going up against an armed and dangerous opponent requires you to outsmart and outmaneuver them.

Even the best-laid plans can end up getting you injured, however. If that happens, you’ve got to keep your cool and take some critical steps to stay alive until you can get medical help.

If this knowledge was more commonly dispersed, it’s possible that a lot of the tragic shootings we’ve seen in the past few decades may have been significantly less lethal. As much as we wish never to have to need it, this kind of training could save your life should the worst ever happen to you.
