Julie Dragland, 32, was taking San Francisco's BART train by herself when the person seated behind her slipped her a handwritten note.
Written in red ink was this truly frightening message:
There are 2 guns pointed at you now. If you want to live hand back your wallet + phone NOW + do not turn around and be discrete. Do not turn around until after you have left Civic Center + you will live.
Julie was more scared than she'd ever been in her life, but she refused to be a victim. That's when she did something that's now got everyone talking.
She pretended to have a seizure, a technique she says she saw once on an episode of Law & Order. She slumped over in her seat and appeared to be shaking uncontrollably!
Julie hoped that by creating a bizarre scene, she'd attract the attention of other riders… but did it work?
