Questions from readers concerning threat/haters after I wrote Running Scared by Robert Leon Davis

Rated "G" by the Author.
This is obviously my first time writing on my site in a while in this category. The subject line speaks for itself, concerning threats/and or the few people who dislike me, since the release of my book called "Running Scared", by Robert Leon Davis. I only thought to discuss it with my readers and supporters after a brief brunch/discussion with my mother.
First, I've been blessed and very humbled that 99% of all who has read my story, saw me at book signings, or have done TV and radio interviews with me have receive me very well. 99% of anything positive is a blessing. It shows that people are willing to forgive, as long as you are honest. And I have to forgive if I desire forgiveness; it's the main tenets of spirituality.
Secondly; I thank my mother, siblings, and especially my children for their forgiveness and unequivocal love.
Now, lets get to the question I've received from many of my supporters; Why are there some who has threatened me or dislike me?
The few people who can't or won't forgive you or I after a sincere apology are trapped in some sort of time warp. Their lives tend to be only about what makes sense to "them", or how does it benefits themselves. But enough said, let me explain my observations of the 1%.
The psysical threats?
It"s mainly the bad police officers who threatened me. So one must ask themselves; Why would a police officer have an issue with a person that exposes bad police officers? You already know the answer. They themselves are "bad" police officers". And as for the threats, doesn't bother me a bit; they are validating my mission!
Those who hate/dislke me?
I've learned that most of these people are people that I've had a bad relationship with in the past while I was a fugitive; either romantically or through a past encounter. They view my current life and my story based upon my relationship with them "THEN"...not how I am "NOW"... nearly 20 years later upon giving myself up!
These past relationships happened nearly two decades ago. When I was a fugitive and came into their lives, looking back, how could they expect me to have done totally right by them? I was a crook, a no good man! I had to survive by almost any means necessary (except taking a life).
Now I must also say, in in many if these relationships, I have lied or misrepresented myself to them as to who I really was, but the reasons were obvious.
This is what I mean by a time warp. Now having said that, I have located some of the people that I've harmed while a crook. I have apologize and they all have accepted it once they learn of my story. Now some I haven't attempted to contact, because through some media means, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc., they have already stated they are unwillingly to forgive me. So in those cases I can't do anything about it!
So in closing, to the 1%, to the bad police officers, you'll one day suffer as I did. To the past relationships, even though you hate me, I will not hate you. And if you are one of those people, contact me, and I'll have no problems expressing it verbally.
And to anyone I've hurt or harmed since coming home, whether through words, actions, or any other means, I apologize.
The attached picture of my oldest daughter is who I think of often, she causes delight in my heart when I think of her beauty,the threats, and through all the turmoil in this world, it keeps me pushing.
She,unlike all all my children,I haven't spoke to in over 10 years. But she is the continuing reasons why I'm not complete. I pray daily, that something,or someone will touch her heart and say I love you. I wasn't in her life, and betrayed her because I know she loves me. Oh, and by the way, she has good cause to dislike me. But I shall remain available if I ever get that call.
The hate, threats, and the inability of some who either can't or won't forgive in this very short life we have. Some sadly are even willing to take it to their graves!
So I'm Robert Leon Davis, the past crooked cop, boyfriend, or friend. I'm waiting on your call or message so I may apologize personally. Especially you my dear daughter.
I don't know your story or I read it before and forgotten with all that I read. But there's no place for hatred that leads to violence or unnecessary punishment.
From my 30 years association with a university security force that grew immensely and became a full-fledged police department, there were bad cops aplenty over the years. And, I was shocked to learn that a neighbor during my high school years working investigation for my small hometown discovered that the chief and half the force were systematically burglarizing Main Street businesses under the guise of securing them.
Rooting out bad people can have repercussions that last many years longer and are much harder to deal with than the original crime. That's why many people don't report crimes for fear of getting hung up in such situations.

In "A Touch of Your Presence" are words that would inspire, encourage and strengthen one's soul when faced with challenges and difficulties and to know the awesomeness of God's power.
