Boston Globe | Carjacking victim describes harrowing night

By EmmaZahn on Fri, 04/26/2013 - 1:05pm |

The 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur had just pulled his new Mercedes to the curb on Brighton Avenue to answer a text when an old sedan swerved behind him, slamming to a stop. A man in dark clothes got out and approached the passenger window. It was nearly 11 p.m. last Thursday.

The man rapped on the glass, speaking quickly. Danny, unable to hear him, lowered the window — and the man reached an arm through, unlocked the door, and climbed in, brandishing a silver handgun.

“Don’t be stupid,” he told Danny. He asked if he had followed the news about the previous Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings. Danny had, down to the release of the grainy photos of suspects less than six hours earlier.

Yes, there definitely is Quentin Tarantino material here & I must admit this one made me laugh:

“Oh, that’s why your English is not very good,” the brother replied, finally figuring it out. “OK, you’re Chinese . . . I’m a Muslim.”

“Chinese are very friendly to Muslims!” Danny said. “We are so friendly to Muslims.”

It's also ironic because China's "Chechnya" type problem has been in the news again lately!

Danny was smart playing his foreigner cred to the max. I did not get the irony of the China likes Muslims comment but I did laugh - sardonically - at this:

The man rapped on the glass, speaking quickly. Danny, unable to hear him, lowered the window — and the man reached an arm through, unlocked the door, and climbed in, brandishing a silver handgun.

“Don’t be stupid,” he told Danny.

Too late!
