Your friend is an idiot who deserves what he got. Don't even make eye contact with those people, much less roll your window down.

Never even look at the water boys.

why on earth would I be triggered for having my money invested in vehicles that will earn me more money as opposed to leaving them in a checking account earning 0.0% interest?
Perhaps you're the one triggered since you insinuated dude with $1,200 in checking is apparently poor?

I'm doubting this ever happened. There are too many red flags on this one.
Let's start with the first sentence fragment-
Unnecessary attempt to provide a reason for driving in Atlanta
Unnecessary detail, commonly used by liars in an attempt to build credibility.
It reads like an amateur short story on a Reddit forum.
There are many other red flags, but just the first paragraph is about as bullshitty as it gets.

You came at me pretty hard for a simple statement. With a strong implication that I don't know how to handle my money.

I made a statement; you inferred what you wanted out of it.

APD gave him the runaround when he tried to submit a police report, so he gave up on that front. They don't give a flying frick.
100% bullshite. You can go to any of the dozens of police stations in ATL and file a police report for literally anything. Whether or not they investigate it is another matter, but saying he couldn't even submit a police report is complete horse shite.
This whole story is horse shite.

Last time I went to a game at Camden Yards the downtown Baltimore water boy framework was truly a sight to behold
The only time I ever had an opportunity to go to a game at Camden Yards was when I was in Baltimore running a project to renovate "the world's first skyscraper" in downtown Baltimore. Unfortunately, all the BLM crap started while I was there and the game was restricted to only the players and the press. No fans allowed in the stands.
I'm still pissed about that. I used to follow the Orioles pretty closely way back when Ben McDonald was pitching, so I still had a spot in my heart for them. (Gotta support our LSU boys!)

He called the non emergency hotline and it gave him an AI. When he finally got through to a human, she told him an officer would be dispatched to his residence rather than the site of the incident. That was of no use to him since he was all the way on the other side of town at that point. The dispatcher said there was no guarantee an officer would be able to be re-dispatched to his house. You tell me that's not a runaround.

It's the proverbial "you". As in, people in general. Kind of a common thing. You also ignore the part where I specifically mentioned:
quote:
It's always funny to me people that brag about having like $5K or $10K in their checking.
Ya know...large amounts.
quote:
I made a statement; you inferred what you wanted out of it.
well, your exact statement was [emphasis added]:
quote:
What I got out of ALL that is that your friend ONLY had $1200 in his checking account.
How else could that be inferred?

Your "friend" sounds like an idiot.

That he was smart enough to only have $1200 in his account or that he isn't married to someone uncomfortable with only having $1200 in their checking account?
A person who grew up poor or has had to live paycheck to paycheck often feels more comfortable with a bit more in their checking account. And whether they are the primary breadwinner or their spouse, a few thousand dollars not being invested is worth the cost for someone who would otherwise be anxious if it were not so. Ask me how I know that.
You're not wrong; it is better if it is invested, but there are other considerations. Sorry if we got off on the wrong foot; I was simply making what I thought was a funny comment based on my personal experience.

Comments like this is part of what’s wrong in our society.
Instead of laying ANY of the blame on the kind heart of the victim - we should be focusing all of our ire on the criminal. And making permanent public examples of them if the law won’t do anything.
But here we are.

Plot twist..
This is his cover story for paying $1200 to a prostitute.
Actually kind of brilliant.
You and his wife believed him.

The young astute salesman requested Cashapp as the medium for the transaction. My buddy pulls out his phone and enters his PIN to authorize it. As he enters it, the young engineer swipes the phone out of his hand and takes off running. My friend was behind a few cars at a red light, so he was unable to give chase.
suicidal empathy on full display idiot.
