Brickbat: When Seconds Count

When two masked men broke into a woman's Chicago home, she called 911. And then she called again. And again. In total, she spoke to 911 operators six times over the course of an hour. At one point, a supervisor explained they had no police units to send, blaming cuts to the police department; he even recommended she call her alderman and ask him to give the police more funding. Fortunately for her, the intruders left after spotting her. Officers did not arrive until more than three hours after her first call to 911.

She needs to buy a gun. Of course, in Illinois people aren't allowed that constitutional right.

The intruders may have left after realizing this is a person willing to contact police six times (SIX TIMES!) within a short window. She was dangerous and not somebody with whom to be trifled.

Cops do NOT have time to respond to silly, trivial "home invasions"!

They are too busy rounding up and exporting illegal sub-humans, who would DARE to mow your yard for an affordable price! THESE are the invaders of the Sacred Collectively Owned Magic Soil of the USA, after all!

They are also too busy providing security for the 357th re-count of ballots, which will FINALLY prove that Der TrumpfenFarter-Fuhrer's erections were STOLEN!!!

[SQRLSY One]

Oh, yes, and to be sure, they are also too busy confiscating guns and investigating the hurtful WRONG use of pronouns!

And tariff-tax evasions on smuggled goods made by that them thar HORRIBLE ferriners!!! The list goes on and on, my friends... This is the list that never ends...

Illinois – Blue State 1992-Present. UR such a dumb*ss.
I swear all the left does is self-projects everything.
I guess it’s fitting though being the party of ‘armed-robbers’.

[TJJ2000]

but, but, but — Trump threatened to support ‘arming’ the local police! /s

RIP her dog.

The whole thing sounds mostly peaceful to me.

and arrested her for not taking a hint.

Take shit up with the Police Ossifer's Onion, damn-shit!!!

(The Police Ossifer's Onion... On my SHOULDER... Can make me cry!!!)

[sarcasmic]

I'm sure they searched place for contraband and ran her for warrants, hoping for an arrest.

[Social Justice is neither]

Looks like gun control and defund the police are working exactly as intended.

[Inigo Montoya]

The important thing is that the police got home safe.

[mad.casual]

the intruders

Uh, I think you mean immigrants or, better still, social-construct impacted individuals.

[Quo Usque Tandem]

If she had a dog they [the police] surely would have arrived eventually, if only to shoot it.

At which point she was brutally raped by the guy in a dress calling himself Sally, wearing a pride flag cape.

[Ben of Houston]

Look. That's not funny. There have been several of these news articles so far this year, and it's the first one I've read that didn't end up with the victim either raped or in the hospital.

My plan to break into someone's house with my friends and play Monopoly will have to be delayed.

Or you'll have to use the alternate rules for a shorter game.
