I am NOT saying this man was John Titor! I am just pointing towards how close at times we were, to our country back then… becoming violent in itsefl.
I am being very loose with the date also. So take what i am sharing with a little bit of salt you may have, for flavor sake. 
This video reminds of the 2000’s I had just left Edy’s & starting working at Geyer’s Party Haus instead, I was cashiering, nothing unusual there… but what was becoming quite different, was peoples attitudes, it was becoming more & more frequent for people to try to steal, one day it was nearly at the height of what people was sure, was going to turn into uncivil violence, & I had a man come into the store I did not know at that moment how to handle it, I was wavering again between right & wrong, “inside myself already” it was not unusual for me to spend my own money on helping customers that I would likely never be paid back for because they would never come in again & others who started to take advantage of my kindness, & stopped thinking of it as an act of compassion, but… something to be expected & never paid back. I wanted right by everyone, even if I couldn’t always truly afford how deep the pain was… I looked at it still as the lady who offered her two last coins.
well this day, it was a very heated political environment… & around then I could care less about politics, because i was starting to see both sides always as puppets, under someone secret hand. A gentleman, I know this will seem strange for calling him that in the end. But I will do it all the same, my body my choice. 
He brought two either 24 packs, or… two 30 packs of beer to the counter. then he set one on the floor & the other on the counter, & said I would like to pay for this & tipped his head towards the one lets just say 30 pack of beer, for clarity sake.
I said you want both of them, he said yes… I agree & go to ring him up for them both, he realizes I do not/have not understand him yet. he reiterates, i want to pay for this, & looks at the only the 30 pack on the counter with his eyes guiding mine with how he was saying it, I am slightly confused, I ask both of them, he corrects… NO… i want to only pay for this one. Now I am sure we are not on the same page. I say but you want both of them? Yes… he says, I say then I have to charge you for both, he say… No! you don’t actually. I am at a complete loss?
I do not know how to handle this? He is polite, but certain. If he was mean, or… threatening, I may have behaved quite different, but to me kindness is everything.
I slowly get on the same page, I finally understand the what, but not the why yet!
He only wants to pay for the one thirty pack & he wants me to let him “steal” in a sense, the other one… over the political tensions & climate? He explains a bit what is coming, I do understand. I respect his belief/certainty, but… until He did that I would not have agreed it was that bad yet. Now I am unsure what to do, he is still being kind, & non threatening… I try to remind him if I let this happen I could get in trouble. he assures me, if I do this… he will one day help me when it does happen. I am unsure I will ever see this man again. But my heart says help him, he has been kind, what is the worse that can happen. I ring up the one… he leaves contented, I do not think, or if I did, I have ever seen this man again.
I pay for his second thirty pack once he has left to avoid any problems for either of our choices that day. You may call me stupid, for this… it was beer, how will that help anything… i will grant you that is fair! I call it a good investment. I paid a “couple coins” let say that day.
Let God judge Me for that. God knows His/This Mans reasons & God knows both of our hearts that day. So who am I to question another mans heart, when he has done me no wrong & only asked a peculiar favor, in a peculiar way. i helped many people & he did not come off evil to me, unlike many of them & i helped them anyway.
Sorry for any bad grammer, or… misspellings. Homes & school hopping as a child didn’t help my education as we all know. I do my best though & notice when/what I can!
Thanks for reading this far even if you didn’t watch the video ~QS
Note: I am not correlating the two “the video & the happenstance” exactly, it just reminded of the moment back then & i felt I would share. I guess “story~time” may have been a better post~place? idk.
Note 2: made a couple spelling corrections.
or… that protection you promised.
