It might have been a setup: he draws your attention, she flanks you, and they take you down together. You're not going to de-escalate that because the whole point is to distract you verbally. You have to get inside their OODA loop and escalate before other players can execute, which you did.

I understand your driving situation, but the basic rule is: don't stop in a hood with porn shops, cheap cell phone stores, funky taquerias with bars over the windows, crappy looking gas stations, or anywhere else that looks like it should provide you with a piece of chalk so you can save the homicide dicks some time.Originally Posted by Rich_Jenkins

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
Copy.
But it's hard to tell ahead of time. I mean, you would not think Crescent City California is like North Houston?
We see all types of situations on the road though, and keep a good lookout for obvious 'keep going' clues:
- Pawn shops
- Manned Security vehicles in a parking lot
- Bail Bond storefronts
- Liquor Stores
- Dudes or dudettes waiting with no apparent purpose
- People walking Pit Bull type dogs
- Kids on bikes on corners
Google maps with Streetview is your friend :-)
It may not be totally recent but bad areas don't happen suddenly; moreover, you'll be able to see the type of people who hang around, or are just going about their business.
All of the above is great, but I have a question. Why, exactly, did you stop? Wait, I've got it - Sunnydays asked you to, right? But seriously - Stretch your legs? Nature call? Combination?
^^^ SWMBO says 'I'm hungry', you plan to stop.
But seriously, yes, I've used street maps en route to check out aerials, for sure.
It helps a lot in planning fuel stops.
Ok, I will stop the derail into RV travel now. Sorry.

Why I think avoidance should be included in the discussion and with your cross country RVing...^^^ SWMBO says 'I'm hungry', you plan to stop.

How about: "Bare ass me again." Or: "Twat's that you say?"

When in the urban area I have to spend part time in at this point in life, and when travelling, I leave my dash cam run all the time when I stop. Besides possibly seeing if someone got in my vehicle, it may be nice to have a recording of events transpiring in front of it if life got sporty unexpectedly.
