This is chilling: I went to the Second Cup located beside the Hyman Residence on Laurier street and tried to enter but the coffee shop was locked with people in it. I realized this was a lock down so I didn’t persist. Right after I turned to walk away a few other people, who happen to be caucasian, knocked and were allowed to enter. When I tried to go in with them the man at the door rudely pushed me out and locked the door in my face. I was infuriated because I felt disrespected and discriminated against. To add to that, I saw police running in the direction of the crime scene, assuring me that there was a shooter still out there while I was stranded outside. I wanted to lash out and let the guy know I wouldn’t tolerate this from him but I hesitated as I considered what the narrative would be for a 6’2 black man banging at the door of a coffee shop in the midst of a man hunt.
