I hope this is a joke. If you think anyone will take anything you say seriously when you troll for dates - on a thread entirely unrelated to dating or sex, no less - you are mistaken.
Btw:
If any t-vixens think I’m hot, PM me. I know the Olsen twins.

take 2 pieces of 2X2 board, some heavy duty deck screws and a cordless drill/driver, next time they are throwing a party go over and screw one side of the 2X2 to the door jam(non hinge side) and the other to the door, one in the top corner one in the bottom this works especially well if you/they live higher than the 2nd floor!
You first mistake is moving into that building. Didn’t you check the area and get info about what kind of residents there were before signing the lease?
Secondly, you knowingly called the cops on a place that has drugs? Are you stupid? Did you think about what the outcome might be?
Worst possible situation: Lets say the cops smell the weed or see a ball of cocaine on the table. They proceed to bust the joint. Now you have people who know where you live pissed off at you. And these are the people who are involved in that sort of lifestyle.
Best possible outcome: Cops show up, tell them to turn it down. Now they know you ratted them out and key your car and give you death threats.
To keep this short, you need to start using your fucking brain more.
Morale of the story: You are poor, you get what you pay for.

If any of you ladies aren’t into Saget, then send me a PM instead.
I hold the world record in the 100m
If the OP is telling the truth (which I very much doubt) the only advice I have is do whatever you have to do to get out. In the meantime purchasing a gun and learning how to use it correctly would be a wise thing to do.

Robin, when asked if he talked to them he said " No point, I’ve dealt with ghetto trash before" or something similar. That leads me to believe he never approached them man up. Also, calling a group of black guys 50 cent wannabe ex con ghetto trash is pretty fuckin’ racist. And the fact that he called the cops without talking to them first, didn’t do shit when his car was fucked with and bitches about it on an internet forum makes him a pussy. I think I’ve covered my bases on this.[/quote]
I’m gonna have to go with WhiteFlash on this one. OP,just because you’ve dealt with “degenerate trash” before doesn’t mean shit. Have the balls to go over there and let them know whats up.
Good Lord, one thing KBThird is good at is parcing statements to 1 molecular thickness. You CAN be PC and a homophobe dude. And you are correct. I misspoke on one point: ghetto tells me that they are probably refering to race because they don’t want to use the “n” word.
As far as using the word gay, if you want to use it and sound homophobic go right ahead. I doubt you would use it in the workplace, if you work in a professional office and not a construction site. I don’t use that word as a negative adjective because frankly, I don’t want to sound unintelligent. But if you don’t mind sounding that way, be my guest.
And YES, I was kidding about my question “Am I hot” LOL. I was just trying to change the subject.
And look WhiteTrash, err I mean whiteflash calling a group of black guys 50 cent wannabe ex con ghetto trash is not racist if that is what they look like. I love how America has extended what it is to be racist to accurate descriptions. So what I am supposed to call a black guy, in the ghetto, who dresses like 50 cent?
Wow. Does any thread stay on subject, ever?

Welcome to the ghetto.
You called the cops on people, and now the cops have no way of protecting you, cuz you couldn’t just call your land lord and get your other neighbors to complain and evict them.
Instead, you sick the po on them, and now the po can’t do shit for you, and noone in your complex respects you cuz you’re a whiny bitch.
tough luck, better luck next time.
I fully respect your opinion, but you don’t understand the situation fully. We have dealt with these people for the past 6 months. We have tolerated so much from these people. The loud noise, the music, the constant partying, the fights in the hallway, the drug use in the stariwell, the vandalism, it has just reached a breaking point. The leasing office is very lenient with them, I have tried to confront them once, and I was ignored. I felt I was out of options, they won’t listen to me, or the leasing office, but I know they will listen to the police.
Your whiny little bitch comment was not neccessary. I am not about to start a full on war with these people by kicking down doors and splitting skulls. These people are wrong. They are in the wrong. I know they know it, they know damn well what the rules are here, the welfare queen has lived here for several years, so I know damn well that she knows it.
In fact, I have talked briefly with many other people about this, and no one tells me that I was wrong to call the police first. No one should have to tolerate this shit. Their music was so loud that 2 pictures fell off our wall. They know damn well that their music is too loud, I should not have to remind them of it.
I just dont understand why these people think that they can do whatever they want here. They seem to ignore the fact that other people live here too. If they are too broke to go to the club, that is their problem, not mine. They don’t own this place. They can’t do as they please. They simply have to respect other people’s rights to quiet enjoyment. Those are the rules, I respect the rules, so why can’t they?
I know that there is this unwritten law about “not snitching” among degenerates. Sorry, but I’m not an advocate of this “stop snitching” bullshit. You break the law, I’ll call the cops. If you want people to stop snitching, you should stop breaking the law. Call me a whiny little bitch, OK, I’ll be the whiny little bitch, and you can be the whiny little prison bitch.[/quote]
You seem to think you are entitled to these peoples respect. Not so. You have to earn it with these types of people, they will not just give it. Furthermore, these type of people wouldn’t ask you to turn your music down if you were the one being loud, you have to understand it is like a whole different culture with different values.
From their perspective, you were being a whiny a bitch and hiding behind cops. Therefore they now assume that they can do whatever the hell they want because they think your a bitch and that you are scared. They don’t see you as a threat, and they don’t like you, so you have no authority over them.
Personally, I think you got too deep in shit when you called the cops. From their perspective, you crossed the line. And since they think you are a bitch, they will treat you like one.
Guerrero is absulutely right, you fucked up.
Dealing with loud music and disrepectful people is part of living in that environment. you cannot change the people, if their mothers couldn’t teach them to behave, you certainly can’t either. you can only put up with it or leave. those were you 2 options, you chose option 3, calling the cops, and now your fucked.
I know this is hard to believe, but not everyone responds well to being confronted respectfully. Does someone need to be told to turn down their music at 2am? They KNOW they’re pissing someone off and they don’t care.
If these guys are trouble and he goes over there and tells someone to turn down their music it will be taken as a challenge and he stands the chance of getting his face kicked in. You might feel like a man for confronting them, but the guys jumping you and the guy who hit you in the back of the head with a bat will honestly think they’re the tough guys.
As someone who has been jumped for standing up to guys I can tell you that you won’t earn respect.

No what I’m good at is being able to tell when people are being inconsistent, as you so readily you admitted you were being with youre two contradictory statements. Sorry if you would’ve preferred that I let that one slide, but maybe next time you’ll think before you type and try to have a consistent position. And you cannot be politically correct AND hate gay people. Does gay-bashing still happen in this country? Yes, but if the media gets wind of it you will be CRUCIFIED for it. The “PC” machine that you seem to be so angry with is CLEARLY not homophobic as well. Your assertion here holds no water.
If a colleague came to me with an idea that i thought wasnt good enough I wouldnt dismiss it with “gay” but that’s mroe because I’d rather focus on how it can be IMPROVED than what is WRONG with it. In fact, there are a LITANY of words that I dont use at work because IT’S NOT IN THE RIGHT CONTEXT. I use the word “fuck” in my everyday speech multiple multiple times, but wouldnt use it in front of clients. With a colleague with whom I was on friendly terms, yes, I have and will. But perhaps teh issue of context is the one you really seem to have difficulty with.
As far as seeming unintelligent, I could not care less how I sound, or what others think of me. I have many many greater priorities in my life than something as superficial as my appearance. My use of the word gay makes me no more or less intelligent, and anyone who knows me knows that. I have a friend who has the same issue with my use of the word that you do. I’ve explained to her the same reasoning that I have to you. I doubt she likes it, but at at the very least we have agreed to disagree, and I’m not lectured or rebuked anymore. Perhaps she sees it as a character flaw, but she has the natural birthright to that opinion, but if she does, she sees it as a minor one and in no way reflecting on my intelligence.

Hi everyone! I need some advice. Last night the apartment across the hall was having a party, and at 1 AM I had enough of the shenenigans and called the cops. the cops came, the music stopped, but these people are now very angry with me. I heard them the rest of the morning screaming about it, and how “They got something for me”.
So my car was all scratched up this morning. I expect this to get way out of control. These people are your typical ghetto trash, they drink every night, party, no one works. Typical ghetto trash. So I naturally expect them to jump me in the hall soon. I am at least going to get beat up, but also stabbed, or maybe even shot.
I am very worried. We can’t move until the Fall, we have a lease on the apartment. I am living with my sister and nephew, and I don’t want anything to happen to him. I am very worried that they will break into the apartment.
I was hoping anyone had some advie for me. I don’t know what to do. I am expecting them to swarm en masse, I really don’t have any recourse. Well, thanks anyways. [/quote]
I’m not going to read through all four pages of this, but because I have been going through something similar I will share my thoughts. I’m getting out of my apt. lease early because my roomate is just a complete dickhead, so you should have no problem.
1)Talk to a lawyer immediately. If you can, get a hold of one that specializes in landlord/tenant law- most will give you ADVICE* for free right over the phone. See what the lawyer says about whether or not you have a case to terminate your lease. That is the very first thing I would do. If you are seriously fearing for your life, it won’t even be a question as to whether or not you can get out.
KBCThird – You’re talking a lot of smack and I am done playing verbal ping pong with you. It’s turned into “Yes you are; no I’m not! Yes you did; no I didn’t!” And when it gets to that, it’s my words and thoughts against yours, and in a courtroom its up to the judge or jury to decide credibility. Other than that, I will leave it go at that and wish you good luck.

I question why you think I’m “talking smack” - excuse me “a lot of smack” - after you accuse me of parsing your statements ‘down to a molecule,’ or words to that effect. Essentially accusing me of playing semantics, which I most certainly am not. If you would’ve responded to arguments laid out, rather than alternately accusing me of being overly politically correct, then of sounding like I hate homosexuals, it might’ve been a more interesting argument.
You are right, in a courtroom there are disinterested 3rd parties to arbitrate. I have no idea why you brought that up however, as you’ve done nothing that would indicate that they would side with you.

You’re a homo.
Just because you give respect does not mean it will be returned as a previous poster stated.
If you get a shotgun, which I advocate.
Get one where the safety and slide release are easy. For example, my safety is on the top so I never have to take my eyes off of anyone to release it. But if your safety is on the trigger guard you may fumble around in a high stress situation and look down which could be your downfall.
Learn to release the slide and put a shell in without looking down (in case you run out and have to one by one feed).
If you pulled the trigger and nothing fired your better off ejecting that round rather then risk double loading.
Sheriffs usually load their gun with progressively harder hitting rounds, food for thought.
Shooting a shotgun is not like the movies, you will actually want to aim. Unless you severely tweak with the shot pattern.
In addition, you won’t have to worry about killing your neighbors or family since bird/buck has low penetration.
