In the last couple of years, I've had to deal with squatters and trespassers. I just ask the police to deal with them, and all I need to do is provide proof I'm the actual owner of the property. They deal with it; so far, no SWAT was sent in, and no guns were fired. Some ended up in jail, others didn't, but no neighbor had to watch an assault team move in.
As I'm sure you appreciate, if someone calls the police to make a wellness check on someone for no good reason, they might be charged with making a false report to law enforcement. It's a criminal act. I don't think posting
"I wouldn't be surprised if some caring individual suggested to the department of mental health a wellness check is in order"
would make a jot of difference; instead, I suspect other charges might be appropriate.
I'll read the link you posted later. I'm just so disgusted that someone here wants to shut down the ability for someone to post with the threat of someone sending the police to their house.
Can we temporarily close this thread—just for a few days—so people can reset? I think it's clear most people disagree with Patricia's views, and yes, she keeps digging a deeper hole for herself. But MyManao has taken things too far by suggesting to others the police become involved because of posts on PW (he will disagree with this, but we all know what he meant).
I'd be OK with that if someone posted about their bank robbery on PW, for example, but posting your opinion here should not result in the police making a wellness check at your home.
