I feel so terribly for the normal people who live in that state to have to contend with the crazies there.

I am so glad strangers are helping him. I do think it was just bad luck. Probably 7-8 times out of 10 you stop to help someone it would be fine. Of course Florida does have a bit of a reputation.

This was actually one of the hardest parts of a conflict I had battling these opaque systems.

I would hate to inadvertently lose it with someone who is being kind. But sadly by now unless it is someone I can see and evaluate, I am wary. And I am from this Podunk in India where people are generally nice in routine contexts, but it is the last place where I would trust any creepy smart city projects.

Online it is pretty much only DU because I trust Dave/MIRT to keep crazies out.

Know that this is apparently real. But why?

What was going on with the attacker that he seems to deliberately wrecked his car and then played possum until the poor Good Samaritan shows up to help? The moment he hears the car door opening he attacks….

WTF?!!!!
