(FYI I just thought this was funny I’m not trying to start a struggle session over noise complaints)

    There is a slight difference between these two scenarios:

    • My neighbour is noisy.
    • My neighbour is noisy and said they’d kill me.

    One warrants calling the Angry Men With Guns number. The other doesn’t. Your situation definitely needed some dudes with weapons intervention. For most people it doesn’t.

      This is really what I should’ve said originally. In the case that there are other factors, like threats and harm to mental health, calling the police might be the right choice. What I said originally missed some nuance, and was honestly just a bit rude. Thank you for being a voice of reason fidel-salute-big
