    The fact that she knows they walk 5 blocks specifically means she fucking followed them, that's what's way more unsettling than a car parking on the street lmao.

    so sedentary and privileged that she can't imagine walking a few blocks for safer/cheaper parking

    I was once at a friends at his upper middle class neighborhood. Parked my graffiti- covered van on the street in front. As the evening went on they got a call from a “concerned neighbor.” We all chuckled. I was a still their beloved radical rascal friend.

    But still. Fucking little white bourgeois suburban zombies, so filled with and plied by fear from the dumb local and cable “news” they watch, are so territorial and constantly suspicious of everything.

    The history of local news becoming RW reactionary garbage explicitly used to ratchet up the fear that is the basis for “law and order” voters is one of the most vile developments. It’s what is used by police departments the country over to justify their filthy existence, excuse away their racist harassment and profiling, and give them even more militarized toys to further rule over whoever they please.

    This woman lives in constant fear because of all the mainstream media reactionary garbage she takes in all day.

        You should apply. Let the reactionaries worry about the wrecker for a change.

          If you form the "official" group and then just do obnoxious wrecker shit you may be able to demoralize people so much they mind their own business.

              Ooh, wait, I've got one; Round up a bunch of the neighborhood ne'er do wells and fit them out with those horse masks, then have them do ritual looking shit in front of someone's Ring camera. When they try to bring it up insist that there's nothing in the pictures and gaslight them in to doubting their own sanity.

                pretty solid prank to do it properly have everone else in the group be friends of yours in on it.

                edit the picture and send it back with no people and claim that's the one they sent

                although it is worth noting this plan will result in them killing someone

        In bad country people routinely inform on their neighbors to the state security forces.

        Yeah, in town they have an annual night where neighborhood watch patrols like batman, lmao. I'd say they're one black youth with a nerf gun away from becoming a lynch mob.

    My grandmother gets bent out of shape over similar shit. She bought a gun after she got spooked by a bunch of teenagers, was watching someone wait outside someone's house for an hour while flashing a flashlight towards them, got terrified when a group of teens was listening to music somewhat loudly.

    She lives across the street from a school.

      sounds like it's only a matter of time until she shoots a kid.

      maybe replace her bullets in the gun with blanks

      Assuming from the suburbian paranoia that underlies this entire post I'm assuming 5 blocks is a made up distance that is supposed to convey they're out there all night gangstalking the neighborhood and it just doesn't transport well when it's read by people who don't take their car for every trip that's longer than the car

    I once had a guy yell at me for walking mud onto the sidewalk in front of his house. He wouldn't come outside and he didn't know my name so I figured what's he gonna do and walked off not gonna be intimidated by a man who's hiding behind a wall

        in my old neighborhood, during the freeze in texas, some dumbass built a snowman and put a maga hat on it in the public park. Somebody stole the hat and he lost it and posted about it for days whining about how people dont know respect anymore and everyone was just like "dude you left it on public property 🤷‍♀️ "
