Not. The remaining threats are not rational actors and are not being detered by a door, fence, or window.

And white people are disproportionately afraid of black males.

lol

Interpret more knocking as breaking in? This is where you lose me. You are OK with this gross of a misinterpretation because of fear of someone knocking?

If it's pounding? Yes, absolutely.

Unless, of course, you are black and you don't want people's default assumption to be that you are a violent criminal when you need help late at night. No, no reason to be outraged.

hahaha

You guys are all Ferrell didn't do anything wrong! Bitch was right to say he was breaking in too! lmao

You understand that both of things could of course be true, right? Like neither party is clairvoyant and each can in good faith misinterpret the other person's actions.

No. Because he didn't try and break in. She could have called the po and said "hey some guy keeps banging on my door." Nope. Violent criminal here in the act of breaking and entering!

lol prana

not one of your finer moments.

So I'm confused. Are you saying that she was consciously lying to the police, that she was willfully misrepresenting what Ferrell was doing?

Most of the time robbers run away at alarm, but some of the time they don't.

So because it happens some of the time, it means you are perfectly safe 100% of the time.

Hmmm let me think about that. Nope that argument doesn't work.

Who knows if she was lying or panicked but what she said was factually wrong. You have no issue with it though because you would be a fraidy cat at night too or something.

Did you listen to the call? She's either Merrill Streep or she was panicked. Soooooo we're back with Internet Tough Guys dictating how much adrenaline she should have allowed her body to secrete in that situation.

We're supposed to be outraged at the racist cop that unloaded 12 rounds into an innocent, unarmed man.

There's no outrage for the scared woman. But since you are desperate to be outraged over something, she makes a fine target.

uhh no. She should have called the police and said what was actually happening regardless of her adrenaline jesus christ. A knock on the door doesn't give people the right to claim you are attempting to break and enter their residence. I don't how scared you or some woman is.

Now, add in trying to kick door down, jimmying the knob to enter, going to windows and you may have a case. Knocking loudly and talking loud don't qualify.

Add prana to the "Depressed? Just be happier!" school of mental wellness.

I can't help but believe that if lady had shot dude through the door with a shotgun we would have same people crying, "but she was scared guys! The guy kept knocking on the door!"

Ahhh yes, she has an absolute obligation to calmly report JUST THE FACTS, no matter how scared she is. What absolute horse****. If she's panicked she's going to interpret all of his actions in the most threatening possible light -- that's just how things work.

According to this thread this is what should have happened:

2:30am woman and child are sound asleep.

BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG

Woman arises from a deep sleep, a slow happy smile forms on her face.

Woman: A visitor? At this hour? Oh who could it be?

In her head, her biggest decision is whether to put a tea kettle on before or after she answers the door. Decisions, decisions she thinks to herself, skipping to the door.

Woman opens up the door.

Woman: Well hello there young fella, how may I help you? Oh you look like you have a scrape, here come on in, and let me put tea on for you. You were in an accident you say, well let's get you cleaned up. You could borrow my husband's robe, he won't be home for a while.

Unknown man: I am in a ton of pain here, I need an ambulance.

Woman: Nonsense, I will call Dr. Condestine, my personal doctor, he will come right over.

Ring, ring, ring.

Woman: Dr. Condestine, hi, sorry to bother you this time of the night, but a young man knocked on my door bleeding from his head, I was wondering if you could come over and attend to him. No, no, I don't know him. No, no I didn't get his name, but he just needs a doctor, and some motherly love, and he will be on his way. Thanks so much!

In the 911 call she was saying he was yelling to turn off alarm and kicking door.

From Ferrell's point of view he just needs help badly.

From her point of view he's trying to break in.

If you listen to that call, its so easy to conclude she was just scared and panicked.

..

Oh hey let's just make up a scenario that didn't happen and didn't even come close to happening. Why chain ourselves with, you know, stuff that actually happened?

hahahahahahaha

Adrenaline, how does it work?

Where is Ikestoys.
