wtf Mr. Doorknocker?

[Kornholio]

No I got the joke. Jason, you just have a habit of posting that in every thread where someone is posting about a problem they encounter.

And as I said in that thread, I think you have me confused with someone else. I don't recall saying that very much at all and when I do, it's always been in jest.

Perhaps, and if I did confuse you with someone else I apologize. I does bug me when someone posts that up as if it makes the actual issue not important.

All well and good. However, I was addressing the idea that one shouldn't answer the door to one's house after dark, for fear of Bad Things happening.
If 'they' don't open their door, 'they're' being prudent. Yet I'm being paranoid if I assume that someone may be out to do me harm.

I don't answer the door late not because I'm scared. I'll answer if it is a friend or neighbor.

If it is some peddler, salesman, candy sale or whatever, they can go away. I don't want to waste my time pushing off a high pressure sale. Don't care what it is, I'm not buying any.

 

[mean dad]

So, you at least go to the door and ask who it is (or look out the window), right? It doesn't take me much longer to see what it is they're selling/offering/preaching. I've had some interesting conversations with religion peddlers a time or two.
If I need tell someone a second or third time "no", or "leave", then I channel a little bit of irritation from daily life and use the experience to cleanse my mind and soul of internal angst and stress while letting them know they'll have better luck elsewhere.. Win win!!

So you're saying that the city is 3rd world ?

whatever?

BTW I find many mistakes to this story. First, in some parts of suburbia, police DOES come sooner than in the city b. So he could've called the police.

If you don't want to call them, well then, disband your police department, what do you need it for.

 

[fawndog]

I'm not answering shit at 8:30, if you didn't make plans to come over, you don't belong here period.

I'm always very honest to the ghetto kids coming around my apt complex selling whatever they're trying to sell: magazines, scholarship help, negro college fund, whatever the fuck. I always tell them I don't want to give them any money. Then I'll get some made up response that it won't cost me any money today, just a pledge or whatever. I tell them I don't know them and don't trust them. Don't give them the same excuse they get from everyone else. Once told a very aggressive black kid to get his black nigga ass off my floor mat or I'm bout to step out and whup his black ass. Niggas don't respond very well when they get punked back.

 

[Chim Chim]

Ughh, I hate those door-to-door fuckers. I hate even more that my wife won't let me put a GO AWAY sign on the front steps. The way our place is set up, anyone on the front porch is looking straight into the living room. This means either answering the door, or having some asshole standing on the porch looking in while we ignore them. I've lived in enough crappy neighborhoods that anyone randomly knocking on my door immediately gets filed under people that need to go the fuck away Being strapped when you answer the door is not a bad idea at all.

For those of you who think bad things don't happen, this was in San Jose, then they came and dumped a car near my house:

http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_22491864/san-jose-trio-suspected-almaden-home-invasion-appear

From the story:

They drove to the area of Bret Harte Drive looking for a place to smoke when they saw an older man and woman tending to their lawn. Two hours later, they returned to the home and forced their way inside after the female homeowner answered the door. One of them brandished a knife.
The reports say that the intruders bound the homeowners with duct tape and sat them in a bathtub and gave them blankets and pillows before rummaging through the home and taking cash, jewelry and high-priced electronics and fleeing in the victims' two cars, a Toyota Camry and a Toyota Highlander SUV.

After selling off some of the stolen jewelry at stores in San Jose and Morgan Hill the next day, they drove the Highlander to the Uvas Reservoir and used the Camry to push it into the water, police say. They drove to Los Banos, and on their way back to San Jose, they were stopped by a California Highway Patrol Officer on Highway 152 but sped away, the reports said. After spinning out near Hollister, the three abandoned the car and split up, eluding police before taking a taxi to San Jose.

I'm going to say this again:

This was not a typical situation. I have dealt with many solicitors and bullshit assholes coming to my door or walking down my driveway and into my place. I have also had people just walk into our house when work was being done with the intent on stealing something. Since then, we have changed things. When I say "no thank you" the first time to a door to door weiner, they leave. This guy was not like those. He was determined about something. I took that stance he had and his demeanor (as well as his lack of leaving after being asked multiple times) as a threat.

You can all armchair this anyway you want. Could I have not answered the door? Maybe. Could I have opened and closed the door after saying fuck off? Maybe.

But when someone is banging on your door and ringing your bell, I'm not taking any chances. I displayed authority and force and this fucker still didn't leave. When he stepped forward to the threshold I gave him a last warning and displayed dog and motioned for the iron. He then left as did his van of homeskillets.

The local PD knows all about this, I gave the Chief a memo this AM.
And for those saying call PD, the last time this happened it took 20 minutes to respond. And guess what? When they found the bunch one was a wanted Felon. Why does it take so long? Because PD is starved for resources and has a small patrol at night. SCC SO is now supplementing some, but still we need more cops on the street.

So, knowing all the above, and having dealt with violent offenders in the past, I'm not taking any chances. These fuckers come in or breach, I wont say leave again, it's showtime.

IMO, I did the perfect assessment. I reviewed the surrounding area which I have full visibility of from the second floor. I knew this guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time and took appropriate action by being ready. I gave three full verbal commands after I said "No thank you" to leave. After ignoring all that and the Dogs teeth showing, Dude stepped up toward the threshold and I gave a final loud warning. This plus his Van of hooli's pulling up changed the dynamic DRAMATICALLY. Lucky for him, He paused, muttered more bullshit and danced away after I displayed and showed intent to keep him from coming inside.

Spin it all you want, again, I don't care. My home, my family, my life. It wont be sacrificed to some meth head scumbag fuck because I'm not prepared or choose to just hide in a closet waiting to die before PD shows up. Fuck that. Nobody's breaching my home without a fight.

The bottom line is my family is safe tonight, I'm still sucking wind and we can sleep in our warm beds instead of possibly a dirt nap. I can live with my actions above very well, and will sleep just fine tonight knowing I'm ready if need be.

Was that at all necessary? Which part of Bud's message about no place for racial racial slurs and racially hateful speech on BARF are you not getting? Haven't you been suspended for it once already?

OP doesn't live in Suburbia, he's out in the country. That means County Sheriff, and seriously, when the response times in Suburbia are disappointingly slow, how do you think that's going to work in more rural areas?

Stop posting already. You contribute NOTHING of any value to this forum. How anyone who wasn't raised by wolves (or inbred, white-hood-wearing parents with double-digit IQ's) can have such racist drivel spewing like sewage is beyond me.

I hope he gets suspended again. I have no tolerance for racism.

Is there somewhere with a comprehensive list of rules? I don't see anything having to do with race in TOS and don't see anything having to do with that listed at the top of General, KS, or Geek Speak.
