woman calls police on man trying to visit his aunt with his two young kids [View all] Demovictory9 Nov 2019 OP

Why would you not just say your aunt's name and end the discussion? Seems simple ... (nt) mr_lebowski Nov 2019 #1

Because it's none of that woman's business... GReedDiamond Nov 2019 #2

DUers should stop jumping to conclusions about who is in the wrong here SharonClark Nov 2019 #16

whatever happened before the video motivated him to pull out his video JonLP24 Nov 2019 #19

Odds are she doesn't know the names of the people in her building anyway. BuffaloJackalope Nov 2019 #20

I don't know the last names of my neighbors 2 houses away on each side of me. TheBlackAdder Nov 2019 #37

Hope she loses her job...racist nosy busybody... Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #24
