Guy shot locks onto a bench like a basketball, Impractical Jokers style. The said “Oh these are locks?” He made a joke saying he understands he just hates being racially profiled. I understood it didn’t really make sense by just went along with it. Another guy involved comes along, looks at me (the ‘camera’) and says ‘oh you hate racial profiling?’ as he puts out his hand for a hand shake. His skin is dark, but maybe like Hawaiian or middle-eastern. I don’t think a laugh track played but it was so comical it could have. The split second he does this, my alarm goes off. The coincidences are insane. Maybe each part of my dream is a cliff hanger I just don’t realize, but it was insane.
