A small handful of times I’ve been, as you said, creeped out by someone. When that happens, I get away as fast as I can. That creeped out feeling comes from a lifetime of dealing with people. The “feelings” are observations your subconscious is making that you may not be consciously aware of. They are based off a lifetime of your experience. Ignore them at your peril. BTW, this is where “prejudice” comes from. It really means pre-judged and it’s a survival mechanism. When I was in high school, I was knocked unconscious twice in what today is called the knockout game. Then it was just criminal assault. This is not something that’s part of white culture. It’s strictly a black thing. When I’m around black strangers in places like parking lots, my head is on a swivel. Prejudice is a way of staying alive.
Agreed, I never ignore my intuition anymore.
Also, this guy was white - he ended up with 17 counts in GA and Fl, sentenced to 2 life sentences plus 70 years. Later, he was tied to several more “cold” cases here in GA.
