So if someone made a death threat and actually carried it out - hey, good job, dude?
I just read a post of an Airbnb incident in California where 4 women, (I think they were all women) 3 being black, were surrounded by 7 police cars because someone called the police when they saw them leaving with their luggage. The point of this is the reason why a neighbor called the police.
"The cops admit that the woman’s reason for calling the police was because we didn’t WAVE to her as she looked at us putting our luggage into our car from her lawn. "
@sylvan8798 “So if someone made a death threat and actually carried it out - hey, good job, dude?”
I never said that. I said this women should be held accountable for her actions. She wasn’t. She made a mistake. I am assuming it was racial. Maybe it wasn’t. Either way, she gets off scott free while these two young men don’t.
216 Googling on my phone immediately gets me the non-emergency number. A couple of teens on a college tour is not an emergency that requires 911, even if a parent thinks they look sketchy. Calling 911 implies that there was an imminent threat or crime happening. Escalating never helps anyone.
I have no sympathy for this women. She showed no regard for these two young men who had to travel 7 hours without a parent. Two young men who had to save up to travel by car to go 7 hours. Sorry, but I lost my sympathy for this women 300 miles ago. These kids who are not wearing polos shirts with khakis. Kids who may or may not get a regular hair cut,kids who may or may not be getting free lunch, no I have no sympathy for her name being on social media. The heck with her feeling uncomfortable.
@sylvan8798 “So if someone made a death threat and actually carried it out — “
What “someone”? Who are you envisioning in this scenario?
This woman’s fantasy life is already overactive, I don’t think we need to continue casting her as the Damsel in Distress.
We don’t know if she called 911. All we know is that she spoke to CSU police after, in her words,
“I was transferred over. I talked to, like, dispatch on something else.”
She may simply have called the general campus switchboard and asked who she should talk to. In any case, whether it was a 911 call or not, I would expect campus security to respond. If not, what are they there for? What if there really had been a threat and they had simply ignored her call because she couldn’t sufficiently explain why she was worried?
Somewhat off topic, but I’m just curious why over and over in this thread this WOMAN has been referred to as “this WOMEN.” Multiple posters have done this. What’s up with that?
That’s more than somewhat off topic.
…CC posters are good spellers???
Sigh…okay. I’m probably cranky because I got home and haven’t eaten since this am. And there is nothing in the fridge that appeals. So I broke diet and had crackers and peanut butter…
Carry on.
@Nrdsb4, It’s probably an autocorrect issue. A lot of the posts I edit are because a funny thing happened to my phone on the way to the forum. It probably happens to others too.
I raise and wave my hand. As an engineer, I usually can count on spell check or my admin to find those errors in spelling i miss. sorry.
I quoted YOUR post. You said:
Are you now saying that death is not included in your “whatever consequences”? Are you in denial that that is a real possibility? or so much the better?
This woman is going to get death threats. Do you think that’s great, hunky, maybe I’ll send along one myself? Do you think that people who send death threats NEVER try to carry them out? Ever? I’m envisioning someone who is so outraged that they are willing to cross the line to make their point. Gee, that never happens in America. Does it?
Again, who are you envisioning? Who is it, in the storyline you’re writing, that would be so enraged by what she did that it would drive them to criminal violence?
@sylvan8798 I am really sorry that you only seemed concerned with the nosy women. I will again say that she deserves whatever consequences result from her actions. I would hope that that would not not include death. I think most would agree. Are you in denial that brown/black young men are so vulnerable to death just walking out their front door than white boys like my son?
^People do crazy things all the time. Random humans who decide that they have a vested interest in this story. Are you saying that these things don’t happen? When she gets death threats (and she WILL) are you going to go and tell her that they are just imaginary nutcases who would never actually do her or her family harm? Posters on THIS THREAD want her excoriated. Death not even good enough for this pathetic excuse for humanity. And you think there aren’t others worse out there?
It could very well drive some people to death threats, harassment to her , her family. Her son is probably mortified.
So we’ve established that she deserves to die as a consequence of her actions.
