I didn't think this place was so bad, until the joy tonight. Earlier, we heard shouting. Thinking we might need to call 911, we headed downstairs to call from grandma's phone (ours being out of minutes). As we came out the door, we saw a young woman fall down the stairs. Redwulf saw her get pushed, I didn't. We rushed into the downstairs apt and called 911. When the police arrived, we told them what we saw. An hour or so later, one of the people involved rang our doorbell and proceeded to inform us that we were wrong, that she was holding the other girl back. When redwulf reiterated that he'd seen the girl get pushed, the other lady walked off, muttering about lying white bitches. But 'it's all right,' she kept saying. And the guy's friend is almost right next door to us. So now I'm wondering if we should go stay at my parent's place for a couple of days, because I'm bloody terrified at the moment. Advice?

It might be gang related and they kill any one who is witness along with their families, get out of there as fast as you can and arm yourself and barricade yourself in as if USSR troops are invading. I maybe wrong but just to play it safe. BTW, get you and your friend out of there as fast as possible. Move somewhere where they can't find you or where they won't dare touch you.

Go buy a gun and a lot of ammo. Then barricade yourselves in.

And sandbags, and barbed wire, a swiss army knife and drunken rocken launcher. *nods* :mp5: :sniper:

Also, leave a note in hardly legible handwriting that mentions a large and well armed group of allies.

Otherwise, go to your parents, and buy a gun there, in case they do shit when you return.

What is it with obnoxious, juvenile trolls, today?

I'd say, if you really feel threatened, calling your parents and staying with them a few days isn't a bad choice, if you don't feel safe where you are. I would, however, caution against paranoia. People in irrational situations can say irrational things, and mean nothing by them.

Well your only option right now is to join their rival gang. *nods*

On a more serious level, find a stronghold, get your friends in it and make it as impenetrable as possible, have secret exits and gunports as well, if these guys mean business give them some bullets.

Try getting any form of body armor if you can. Then take down as many of them as possible.

Gee, thanks. Everyone. Really, you've been such a great help..:rolleyes:

EDIT: redwulf if my husband. like it matters at this point.

Maybe in a day or two, when everyone's settled down, go round and see the woman who complained to you.
Try to clear the air, rather than let it fester and seethe between you.

:rolleyes:

Fine, you can listen to him if you want Mr. Fat Tony to put a horse head on your bed and then decapitate your family the fill you with holes.

Also how was my previous post trolling hypocrite? You flamed me first on this thread remember that.

Despite the slight exaggeration, we are serious. If you are genuinely worried, I would suggest distancing yourselves from the area for a bit.

go to your parents and take your papers and other in Important things with just in case

Thats what I'm saying, but the genius decided to call me a troll even though I haven't trolled yet making his actions unjustified then suggested not protecting yourself as a precaution.

Gee, I wonder. Other than needlessly panicking an already panicked person, what could possibly have been wrong with your post? :rolleyes:

I would roll out the sarcastic emoticon if I didn't hate it so much.

For smeg sake all I'm urging her to do is get the smeg out of there before a tong war starts.

I'm calming down a little bit, but this is scaring me. She kept saying that we shouldn't have gotten involved, that it wasn't any of our business. Umm, excuse me? Seeing a seven month pregnant woman get pushed/fall down (there's a bit of a debate on this subject) the stairs and it isn't our business? And I was on pretty good terms with her before this, she kept trying to corner me and sell me stuff, but took my refusals well. I'm confused. And still a little scared.

Better than barricading yourself in:

Go to your local supermarket. Buy out their supply of donuts. Also get a lot of coffee, and maybe some apple juice.

Meanwhile, have your husband post the following sign on the corkboard at the police station:

Donut sale tonight at (your address)! Discounts for officers!

When the cops swarm your place, sell them donuts, coffee, and apple juice. Do this for a few nights, until the gangs decide that you are 'in with the cops' and are too dangerous to touch.

In a more serious vein, contacting the police might work. Make sure to provide donuts and coffee to the nice officers.

Wait, wait, I can see where this thread is going. Someone's going to accuse me of being a drama queen, then someone will jump in and defend me, then there'll be a whole bunch of non-sequitors. Eventually, it will disintegrate into a flame war! Holy crap, I'm psychic!!!

For smeg sake with people depraved enough to say that that is not other people's business (taking into consideration taht humans are social creatures and are supposed to help each other out which means she's either heavily depraved, guilty or both) With people THAT sick around I think it's best you leave.

We're living in a mostly black neighborhood. It would be a banger war, were one to start.

Its the same thing in a different language right? :confused: Anyhoo get teh smeg out of there and bring a trusty weapon should they come for you and the ones you love.

I think it's more the 'don't snitch' mentality. We're all supposed to mind our own business out here, I guess.

watch out for drive bys on the NSG street

Thats wrong the way I see it, humans being social creatures should care for others as well as themselves. Sounds like a bad neighborhood already.

You called the cops and your neighbors know it. Word will soon spread that you rat people out. This cannot possibly end well.

I would leave immediately.

First of all, thakns for your 'help' and help. I'm feeling calmer now, though not entirely calm. We won't be taking the cat out for a few days, and will keep an eye out, maybe I'll get the cane out. But I think it'll be okay. The non-minute cell phone is charging, and we're trying to find the other one. You can call 911 on a charged cell even if it doesn't have service.

..
Bad? Perhaps for you.

As far me, I don't think so. Witnissed much, much worse.

Actually it's a good thing Kbrook was here to make me call the cops. Things probably would have ended worse if I'd gone over to fix the problem my way. Damn near did anyway, we live within a few blocks of the station and I could have RUN from the station faster than the cop car came. Still better than a few years ago (and in another place further from a police station) when I called the cops on a spousal abuse case and they told me it would be a HALF HOUR OR MORE before they got around to dealing with it.

Pretty much. Adopting the local customs is probably good advice.

Revolting though it may be in the case of women being attacked etc, that is entirely correct. Its either that or move.

There are things I am not prepared to do in order to 'fit in.' Allowing someone to be hurt while I am capable of doing something about it is not an acceptable thing in my book. I suppose, if it gets me into trouble, I'll bear the consequences. Yes, I'm feeling a lot less panicked - an uneventful night helped.

Some neighborhoods aren't too accepting of people like you. Unless you like the increased risk of injury or death, I wouldn't stay.

Some things are not worth risking. It's up to you to see how real that risk is, and decide whether or not you feel it's worth it.
