Su ious Strangers

[CosmicCowboy]

lol avante. this is texas you ing idiot. if some negrobeast is OBVIOUSLY casing houses in your neighborhood and asks a question that makes no sense (obviously trying to see if youre alone or just making up some to not seem as su ious) then you ask him what the business is it of his as to inquire, and if he can't give you a good answer, you let him know you got a mossberg in your closet. you really think they're going to break into your house after that? god damn you're stupid

"I've got guns in my closet. Feel free to come back and steal them when I'm not here."

The dude was more than likely going to break in and rob at some point. The fact that he just took off and didn't saying a thing means something. In that case, you gotta stand by your fort in arms.
Avante, what do you suppose one ought to do? Just let things be as is? This is probably one of the more moronic things I've ever seen you post.

"I've got guns in my closet. Feel free to come back and steal them when I'm not here."

Exactly what I was thinking.

Su ious people walking around your neighborhood, you call the police. They knock on your door, get your gun at the ready, ask them to state their business. If response is stupid, tell them to leave, plain and simple. If they ask a leading question like if your father is home or some other round-about way of knowing if youre home alone, you have a choice to make.

1. Tell them yes, youre home alone and know he just might try and enter right then and there (or come back in a bit, basically youre using yourself as bait)
2. Tell them no, you are not home alone and hope that is enough of a deterrent to them.

True story;

I guy I never spoke to in high school was tortured and murdered by random burglars.

I am fuzzy on the details this many years later, but the gist went like this.

A couple up north in rural Michigan were taken in as strays by some poor soul. They killed him, robbed him and stole his truck. They took the truck to Clinton Township, MI, which is a suburb of Detroit. They picked a person out randomly to kidnap and take hostage. It was this guy from high school at a convenience store (or some , cant remember).

They took him back to his own house and had him call his wife to come home immediately. This...pussy loser actually did what he was told. Wife came home, was immediately accosted. They were both tied up to chairs. The kidnappers had no intention for them, only that they wanted a place to stay for awhile (their house) and didnt want anyone to inquire at the house. Thus, the reason they wanted both of them in the house so they could buy time.

(this is where my memory is pretty good)

Anyway, kidnappers suck at killing. Apparently, they didnt have the guts to cut anyone's throat or shoot them in the head, so they tried strangling them both to death...separately, basically as the other one watched. One passed out and the other was next (they thought he was dead). So they strangled her, she did die. He woke up a while later and they tried again. He woke up again. Someone was diabetic in the house, so they grabbed the needle, filled it with bleach and injected him multiple times and beat him with objects trying to kill him. Apparently, it took a looooooong time to kill him this way. But he did end up dying.

Moral of the story; Do not do what youre told by kidnappers when it requires you involving someone else in your plight. Especially a loved one. I thought that to be obvious. Moreover, never open your main door to anyone you dont know. Address through a window or equivalent. The human brain has spent thousands of years perfecting its sense of danger, its why your peripheral vision is so sensitive to movement, why you react to anything that crosses it unexpectedly. Thats why you get gut feelings, feel that something isnt right. Trust your damn instincts.

If alarm bells are going off as you watch people walking around your neighborhood, raise a ing alarm. Whats the problem with being wrong? You look like an over reactive neighbor that doesnt like strangers doing strange things? Trust your damn instincts. Act of them accordingly.

Lets see how damaged my memory is.

Had it backwards. They killed the couple first, then killed the old guy up north.

Some good & obvious points.

Also- when someone calls you and begins asking questions- I never answer. I ask them who is this? Why are you calling?
If they ask, is this the ____ residence? I say- you tell me-- you dialed the number.

I also leave and return to my house from different directions- or take different routes and try to be as unpredictable as I can. Sometimes I leave both cars garaged and out of view, sometimes 1 outside- 1 garaged, etc...

If someone knocks on my door (even though I have no soliciting signs posted) and I do decide to answer, I grill them and ask them to provide me with an ID or a number so I can call their company and confirm who they are and what is their business...

they don't like this and usually think twice before returning.
