The Horse has to call 911 at 7 AM today. / myLot

Walnut Creek, California

June 7, 2021 9:55am CST

I was sipping my first cup of coffee this morning when I heard, "Who you up there with, b*tch?" I looked out my window and saw a tallish black male, perhaps in his 40s, looking up at an apartment from the parking lot. He repeated his words several times, and then advanced on the apartment, saying "Why you naked? You wanna fight?" At that point, I called 911 to let them know what was going on. This apartment complex is really quiet. As I've mentioned before, there are a lot of young Indian families here, and I am not used to people assaulting each other verbally here. I did a little "math," and realized that the apartment that he was looking up at was Horse Jr.'s old place. I checked their parking space, and sure enough, there's a new car there, a nice white sedan with personalized plates. I reckon I have a new neighbor. I did her hear voice, but couldn't hear what she was saying. By the time the Sheriff did a couple of loops around the complex, he was gone. Interestingly, his car was also quite nice, a neon blue sedan of some sort. I hope my new neighbor is not a "drama magnet." I like the peace and quiet and friendly neighbors around here.

Yeah. I was going to let it go, but when he seemed to be getting more aggressive with her, I decided to go ahead and call.

@DocAndersen I'm glad he faded into the sunrise. I hope he does not appear again.

he surely noticed the police coming and decided that it was better to go. Let's hope your apartment complex stays quiet.

@Writingghost The dispatcher was understanding about mental illness issues, etc. The police around here are to becommended. But I hope the guy just gets the help he needs and fades into the sunset as far as this place is concerned.

Perhaps the police will have just the right tone to make it all work.

No. Actually, I'm trained in non-violent conflict resolution, and it's helped me a few times in my life.

@allen0187 Some people seem to thrive on drama. I am not among them. I asked my dad why soap operas were so stupid when I was five.

Eek. It's like seeing drama on TV only it's outside your window and you can't shut it off

. Hopefully that was the end of it - right, no one wants a drama magnet around

I certainly hope not. I actually locked my front door this morning when I went to work. I rarely do that. I was used to drama when I worked in "the 'hood," but not out here in bedroom suburbia.

Stuff like that is pretty scary. Where I used to live in the DC burbs..one time someone probably his wife or something locked a guy out of the townhouse. He was pounding on the door at like 6AM making really guttural sounds. It was frightening honestly. I lived down the block and I still heard him. I think the police were eventually called.

@TheHorse I hope you will not have to call 911 very much and hope if they are trouble makers will be booted out. Sorry that the problem was in Horse Jr's old place.
