There is a story that came out today about a kidnapping and attempted rape. In the story it provides the persons name that got arrested. I live around that area that happened in and yesterday there was a car flying by my area at high speeds and said slow down. They reached a stop sign and the passenger got out, cursed at me and asked if I had a problem. I yelled back, “just slow down.” He then started walking towards me and again asked if I had a problem. I then said, “all I said was to slow down man.” There are kids always playing outside so I just had to yell slow down as dumb as it may have been to do so. Well see that news story today and looked up then guy on FB. Looked exactly like the guy that was coming at me. There is also a picture of him in front of a house that I know exactly where it’s at. If it is the same person, I’m glad he’s off the streets. Also providing a picture of the car he was riding in. You can see him hanging out the window because he said something to a guy riding on a bike.

Sounds like he was stressed when he was being actively investigated by the police.
Maybe making different “allegedly” life choices would be less stressful. Just avoiding the whole police investigation by not allegedly committing crimes seems to improve my day.
Just today I wasn’t investigated by police AND I went to an apple orchard to pick apples. I recommend not being investigated by the police. Not being investigated by the police is the best!
Everyone should avoid police investigation by not being accused of allegedly committing crimes.
