Who is the scariest person you've ever met?

When I was 19 I moved from the South East to a Colorado ski resort. I was a bit naive but very happy in my new surroundings. One day I'm waiting at the bus stop and a beautiful girl comes and sits down next to me. We start chatting... omg she's a fucking hot latina but she spoke with zero accent and just had an exotic look. We ended up sitting on the bus together and she asked me if I wanted to come to her apartment to smoke a bowl. I said sure, but ran up to my room first to grab some CDs (at her request). I came down, and we're hanging out.

It's cool. She's fun. The bowl is nice. Knock on the door.

She goes over to open it and there is an extremely muscular and tall mexican guy standing there. He looks at me, looks at her. She says "We're smoking a bowl, want to join?" And I'm like "Yeah! Come on in!" He doesn't say anything for a minute but then in an extremely thick accent says "No, No I don't want to come in." and walks away. She shuts the door and, since we're smoking, puts the chain latch up. I didn't even think anything of it, dude doesn't want to smoke a bowl that's fine.

So we're talking more and I'm completely, blissfully unaware that anything might be brewing. I was kind of pacing around as we hung out and there is another knock at the door. I'm standing right by it so I open it up but the chain catches it. He's back, he must have changed his mind! So I say "Hang on, let me get the chain.", push the door shut, undo the chain and then BOOOOOM the fucking door flies into me and knocks me back and suddenly this fucking hulk beast man is in my face. I'm walking backwards and he's pushing me backwards with his chest.. I mean, he was huge, I would have had NO CHANCE.. He circles the room with me like this two entire times and then he grabs me with one hand by the neck and the other hand he puts a finger into my chest and says with a really thick accent "YOU GOT AN APARTMENT!??!?!??!" and I'm like "Yes" and he SCREAMS "THEN YOU FUCKING NEED TO GO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!" and starts pushing backwards again.. I back up towards the door and manage to open it.. as soon as I do he pushes me with great force backwards out of the door.

I didn't even see that he had brought a cooler and sat it in the hallway so I hit that backwards causing me to fly into the air before landing on my back in the hallway and skidding to the wall. It was a pretty epic exit in retrospect. As I'm laying there I look up and there is a guy standing there in the hallway. He's like "HOLY FUCKING SHIT DUDE, WHAT WAS THAT?!"

So, later that day I'm relating the story to someone who has lived there for a while and they kind of went white and said "Bro, that is the biggest coke dealer in this town. He runs the entire deal and every mexican in this apartment will do whatever he says. You need to avoid him at all costs." So, that got me a little bit scared.

For the next couple of weeks I did my best to avoid him.. once I saw him in the same hall as me and just booked it into a stairwell and gtfo. But late one night I wasn't even thinking about it and went to get a drink out of the drink machine. I'm putting my dollar in when suddenly WHAM. I'm pushed from behind into the machine. I spin around and there are 3 mexican guys that I had seen around but never interacted with surrounding me. First I just try to push through but the slam me back into the machine. They're laughing and speaking spanish. The only thing I recognized was the girl's name that I originally hung out with... This seemed bad. They kept pushing me, falsely punching me (swinging hard but missing at the last second), and laughing about it. I was honestly scared, but my heart REALLY sank when after a few minutes the HULK KINGPEN MEXICAN GUY walked around the corner. Everyone stopped immediately and watched him. He suddenly starts SHOUTING in Spanish and the guys move away from me, he takes a step towards me, lifts up his hand.. I flinch and then he put his arm around my shoulders and starts walking towards the door with me, away from the guys who are fucking with me and says (thick accent): "These guys won't bother you any more, you and me are good, have a nice night." and led me to the hallway and let me walk away. I walked normally until the first corner and then BOOOKED IT back to my room.

And that was the scariest person I ever met but he did something nice for me but I never really understood what happened.
