Link to my song on youtube about stalking
According to Arkansas law, stalking is defined as engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to:
- Fear for their safety or the safety of a household member.
- Suffer substantial emotional distress.
The course of conduct must involve two or more acts, such as following, monitoring, observing, surveilling, threatening, or communicating to or about a person. This includes communication through electronic means like email, text, social media, or other digital platforms.
The conduct must be done without the victim's consent and cause a reasonable person to feel fearful or suffer significant emotional distress. Stalking can be a misdemeanor or a felony charge in Arkansas, depending on the circumstances and whether the perpetrator has prior convictions.
The odd thing is I've seen Michael twice in his george's pest control truck and the last thing I remember him doing to gaslight his wife had something to do with a fitness tracker. He I guess was trying to impress her by driving around with it because going 40 or so miles for him I know is impossible. I wonder if she remembers that?
And if you think about it the only reason I'm not scared is because they would be the first people to be investigated if anything did happen to me but each and every one has refused service in one form or another, do innocent people do that in civil cases?? I would think probably not. This is how clueless my family and even the police seem to be about the people that keep them busy with frivolous complaints about nothing.
Here's another good point I should make:
If the electrical grid went out for an extended period, the value of exaggerators and habitual liars—or those who cannot keep simple promises—would likely be minimal or even negative in a crisis. Here’s why:
1. Trust and Communication Are Critical in Crises
During power outages, clear, honest communication is essential for coordinating survival efforts, sharing resources, and maintaining order. Trust in information sources directly affects how people respond to emergencies, make decisions, and follow instructions. When trust is broken, people are less likely to cooperate or follow guidance, which can worsen outcomes and increase health risks123.
2. Exaggerators and Liars Undermine Trust
Exaggerators and habitual liars, especially those who cannot keep simple promises, erode trust within a group. In a crisis, broken promises or misleading information can lead to confusion, panic, and poor decision-making. Misinformation from untrustworthy individuals can cause people to take unnecessary risks or ignore legitimate warnings, potentially endangering themselves and others341.
3. Specific Risks of Pathological or Habitual Liars
Pathological liars, who may lie for no reason or for personal gain, can disrupt group cohesion and create unnecessary stress. Their behavior may include embellishing stories, claiming others’ experiences as their own, or promising help they cannot deliver. This not only wastes valuable time and resources but can also lead to conflict or division within a community trying to survive43.
4. The Importance of Reliability and Honesty
In a scenario where basic survival is at stake—such as prolonged grid failure—individuals who are reliable, honest, and able to communicate clearly are far more valuable. Their ability to keep promises, share accurate information, and collaborate effectively helps the group manage limited resources, maintain morale, and increase chances of survival123.
Summary Table: Value of Exaggerators/Liars vs. Reliable Individuals in Grid Outage
| Trait | Value in Crisis | Impact on Group/Survival |
|---|---|---|
| Exaggerator/Liar | Low to negative | Undermines trust, causes confusion |
| Reliable, Honest Person | High | Builds trust, aids coordination |
Conclusion:
Exaggerators and habitual liars would not be useful—and could be harmful—if the electrical grid went out. Trust, reliability, and clear communication are essential for survival in such scenarios, making honest and dependable individuals far more valuable123.
