(Via nextdoor.com, a hyperlocal social media site)
So a couple nights ago a distant neighbor heard a faint knock at the door. He opened the door and found a person claiming people in a loud car were chasing him. Trouble is no cars were heard by the homeowner at all, loud or not.
He offered to call the police but he declined And asked that they just turn off the porch light and let him stay there. He called anyway. The speculation is the guy was from a group home and having an episode.
Several of us pointed out the dangers of opening the door to strangers at three in the morning. I even pointed them in the direction of the Mas Ayoob video on the topic.
Of course there were many who decided that those of us saying it was a bad idea are cold heartless bastards and just ripping on the OP. They opened the door and didn't have anything bad happen so sunshine and lollipops are all that could ever happen. They couldn't see the forest for the trees, only seeing the disagreement and not any of the valid info. I bet these folks think that just because johnny didn't burn the house down when he played with matches that it was ok and he shouldn't be corrected and allowed to do so in the future. Nothing bad happened, right?
I dont get people.
