How to get some action when the cops say they are not available

General Discussion
#1

George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his
wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which
she could see from the bedroom window.

George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that
there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” and he
said “no”. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he
should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when
available.

George said, “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police
again.

“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people
in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now cause I’ve
just shot them all.” Then he hung up.

Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an
ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence and caught the burglars
red-handed.

One of the policemen said to George: “I thought you said that you’d
shot them!”

George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

This is supposed to be a true story!

Be my luck, the voice on the other end would say something like

“Okay. Just cover the bodies. The coroner will be over between noon and 5 tomorrow to pick 'em up. Make sure someone’s home to let us in, or sit them out front with a sign that says ‘coroner.’” :wink:

Later,

This story has been around in this part of the world for a long time - especially after a local farmer, Tony Martin, actually shot one POS dead and seriously injured his pal [not seriously enough by far, as it turned out].

Out in the fens a bit from where we live it can take the police 45 minutes to get from the cop-shop to any scene - from a chainsaw massacre to a traffic incident.

tac - armed to the teeth with nasty sharp things…

Quote of the week, just invented by me -

He, reading aloud from Pacific coast vacation brochure - ‘Says here that Oregon is famous for its Spotted Owl and Marionberry Pie…’

She, perking up at the mention of food - ‘Gee whiz, Lemmy, d’ya think they use the whole owl in the pie?’

I’m not sure that owl and mayor of Wash. DC pie would taste all that good. But they might need to use the whole owl to cover up the taste… :lol:

A friend has a decal on his front door window,

“Never mind the dog, beware of the owner!”

Where can I get such a decal?

Urban legend folks…has been floating around the 911 community a while…

NO ONE would take on the liability of telling someone to just lock your door and wait…this is a high priority call as a nationwide standard. Beleive it or not, specially in small towns there may be times that there are few resources avalible, but rest assured that as a whole…the people at 911 ARE trying to expedite…

Bart, here it isn’t the 911 folks that’s the problem. The real fact is that the police will not come if it’s a property crime…period! In fact here the rule is you call the “Crime Check” number in the morning. It has to be a life threatening situation before 911 considers it an emergency…and that’s a fact…!! That’s the rules set forth by our police department and our wonderful city and county leaders. Several years ago I had vandalism in the form of gang graffiti sprayed on my garage and truck. It took me 3 weeks of arguing with them to just get a police report number so I could file an insurance claim. :frowning:

Only slightly OT, but a couple of years ago a local farmer caught three ‘travellers’, a euphemism for gypsies packing their/his pickup truck with more portable items of his farming equipment. A quick-thinking chap, he barricaded them in between his big John Deere tractor and a convenient haystack, and called the cops.

Three hours later, they arrived, and as he moved the tractor away, one of the gypo’s was heard to screech that he had had an asthma attack, and was unable to reach his puffer, and as a result was going to sue the farmer for wrongful imprisonment and intention to endanger life.

This he did, and with some degree of success. The farmer, who had caught them in the act of theft, was tried and convicted of wrongful imprisonment, and given a one year suspended sentence, as well as being fined over $5000. He also had to bear the court costs of about $15,000, too.

He appealed the judgement, noting that the gypos had yet to be charged with theft and trespass. Thankfully, he won the appeal, and all was restored to him.

We are till awaiting any form of news about the gypos and their thieving escapades - hardly surprising, really, as they gave false names and of course, and no fixed addresses. Nor have they been seen since.

99% of them are a pimple on the arse of humanity, and they neither contribute nor benefit the rest of us in any way. They pay no taxes of any kind, and live on cash. At any time, the average gypo can reach into his pocket and produce a roll of notes to choke a horse - one such local recently bought a $100,000 top of the range Range Rover for cash, to tow his custom-built $100,000 trailer.

They laugh at the gorgios, as they call the rest of us, and when they DO get caught in the act, often pay their fines in cash on the spot.

Worse that all that, they do not play trains, and generally piss me right off.

Rant over.
