I live in a section of Philadelphia that has a lot of college kids renting houses. In the last 18 years three times I've had white guys try to get into my front door in the middle of the night.Two guys who were so drunk they didn't know or care where they were try to break the front door down thinking it was the house they were staying at. The third kid tried to get in as well. He wasn't drunk but had no idea what house he was staying in. Three times I called the cops to deal with them. Each time the guys got treated with kid gloves. The two drunk sobered up real fast when the cops showed up. If they had been black guys they would have been body bagging them. Then a black dude would never do what these three white guys did.
Jeffery--
Drunk college boys keep breaking into your house in the middle of the night?
Uh, where exactly do you live? Asking for a friend.
Bill, the last one was half undressed by the time he gave up. He expected to come in and pass out. If I didn't want to spend the next twenty years in prison I might have let him in.
I live in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia.
Now wait a minute, Jeffery--
So it's not just drunk college boys trying to get into your house in the middle of the night, but drunk, half undressed college boys trying to get into your house in the middle of the night?
Remind me again: What exactly is the problem here?
(Meanwhile, expect real estate prices to soar in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia. I'll be doing an online search as soon as I send this.)
Best wishes,
Bill
