Some teenagers broke into a vacant property on my block and were destroying the place. They broke all the windows were running around and smashing holes in the wall. I feel bad because acab but I didn’t know what to do. I don’t particularly want kids destroying my block and I talked to my neighbor who lived next door and he seemed legit scared about the situation. I don’t feel like confronting them would have been safe since it would have been many of them and one of me.
Could I have done something different?
Update I don’t even know if the police ended up coming but it quieted down within 10 minutes of my call. A couple cars were broken into and one was stolen.
Smdh socialists always want big government to solve their problems. Rally your neighbors to shoot the children yourself.
:bait:
Holy shit, I know this was a joke but this might actually be a bait from OP being a troll or :fedposting:
Look at their account. It has 19 posts and 139 comments but they’re all deleted
It’s totally possible that OP is deleting their history of trying to start drama so that nobody will call them out for :fedposting:
Cointelpro explicitly laid out strategies for feds to start useless arguments to waste an org’s time (not that we’re doing literally anything important here)
Yeah you probably should feel bad. Calling the cops is a last resort for if someone is in imminent physical danger and it would improve the situation if a bunch of reckless unaccountable violent and unpredictable goons arrived.
Don’t call the cops on behalf of some slumlord’s forgotten 34th house
Edit: unless youre calling the cops for some event so mundane and uninteresting that they cant possibly work up their bloodlust over it. Thats based cause it wastes time they could be spending harassing or murdering people
I’m not even sure if the cops arrived but I’m pretty sure the pigs were just going to tell them to leave.
I called the cops once because I heard gunshots coming from my neighbors house, and people on this site got so fucking mad at me lol
my neighbor was beating his gf and the consensus was “it’s a bad idea cracker”
edit: tbh I still don’t know what the right call is in that situation but I don’t want to just hear screams through the wall and do nothing, but I’m not about to go next door to confront someone 3 feet taller than me. It is a fucking difficult situation to be in and people need to put ACAB aside at least enough to appreciate that difficulty
There is a societal role for something like the police to exist and be necessary. But what we have unfortunately ain’t it. And it ain’t ever going to be it in a system with evictions and private property.
This is where I’m at.
yeah the cops are as an institution inherently perverted by their role as protectors of private property but like there is a place in society for like, people who are trained and whose job it is to deal with violent confrontations between people
but you hear somebody maybe getting beaten to death next door, you know the cops are here to protect private property, but maybe there’s a chance someone won’t get beaten to death tonight if they intervene
yeah it’d be better if you and your neighbors can step in but 1) I don’t know my neighbors, 2) this guy is again much larger than me and I don’t have a gun
It’s just a shitty situation to be in and I really want to stress that because all the “cops make everything worse you dumb idiot” in the world doesn’t really do much as you sit there listening to domestic violence happening as you panic over what the fuck to do
I called the cops once on my shitty ex roommates because it sounded like someone was being murdered for several hours during one of their drunken/coked out fights and I had to work in the morning. This was a regular thing with them and the field where I grew my fucks had gone fallow. :shrug-outta-hecks:
I remember that. I thought “do you not think the wife would WANT you to call the police?”
I mean jesus ok cops have showed up on a scene before and escalated it into a homicide, true. ALSO husbands beating their wives have escalated beatings into homicides. I’ll bet more abuser husbands have killed wives than random cops have killed people on calls. This site is idealistic which is nice but they fail at common sense.
