Nightengale Made Threatening Facebook Posts. “In some videos posted this week, Nightengale said he was out looking for people to victimize. “I’m looking for somebody by themself, you know what I mean? Walking to their car,” Nightengale says as he walks across a strip mall parking lot. “It might be this guy,” he continues as he turns the camera toward an idling SUV with a driver sitting behind the wheel. “I might jack his ass. No. He looks like a problem…I don’t need no problem.”” [CWB Chicago]
