I find it even funnier because I only like 20ish minutes away from where story 3 takes place. I think Joel was trying to do a typical southen accent instead of a geordie one. Hearing "whyaye man" in a non geordie tickeled me a bit

Damn. If story 1 is real, can't believe the parents didn't tell their babysitter about the nice af safe room in case of an emergency.

[@heavymetalredneck7973]

Because the babysitter didn't need to know about the safe room as long as the little girl did, teenagers have big mouths, they tell their friends everything, so word about the safe room would soon become public knowledge and the safe room would no longer be safe.

[@JonJupiter]

Listening while cleaning out my old closet

[@melissadwiggins]

The cops should turn their sirens off as they're pulling up to a suspected home invasion. I mean you do want the element of surprise, yeah? Or the first cops show up with his siren off, but yet his back up comes in with sirens on that way when they run out, someone is there to catch them or intercept them.

[@brandonnelson5100]

i think in some cases, cops roll up with no sirens, but not sure about back then

[@melindadawn5]

I practically pull my hair out every time I'm watching or listening to stories where cops are coming with sirens on. I don't think I've ever heard or watched an account where they show up without sirens on, yet, sirens have never been on when I or someone else has called the police during domestic violence incidents... Or even when there was a drive by shooting on my street... I've wanted police to come with sirens on during domestic violence incidents, but you'd think if they got a call about an active home invasion, they would hurry to the location and approach with lights and sirens off to better catch the suspects in the act. I like your idea of backup coming with sirens on to kinda bait the suspects into the first officers arms... But... I'm convinced police aren't really here to protect and serve us... Protecting and serving someone or someones that's not the general public.. I actually had a cop tell me that anyone can threaten to kill you, but there isn't a crime until after the guns trigger is pulled but even after you've been shot the cops don't have to show up immediately and can choose to call for an ambulance instead of showing up themselves and as long as they called for an ambulance, they've fulfilled their duty... (That was the first call to the police I ever made as an adult and they sent an officer out to tell me that in person... 🤦🏻‍♀️I have zero faith in police and view them as a gang of corrupt criminals)

[@davidbiagi2932]

I think it’s some sort of law for cops needing to make themselves known. It does kinda suck for them to do it, but it’s much better than some teenage kid sneaking out of his house and happened to be in that area and they get shot or something because the cops thought it was one of the suspects from the burglary. Obviously that’s a very unlikely scenario, just trying to come up with something to make it make somewhat of sense. But yeah, pretty sure they can’t just come up inconspicuous no matter if it’s something this serious or not. Also, those criminals could be about to find the people in the house and do something horrible to them and if the cops don’t have the lights on to scare them before they get to them, they could still end up doing something bad. They may end up caught because of it, but at the expense of the people in the home being murdered. I’d much rather them come in with sirens and lights blaring and flashing and have the suspects run before they find me over them not knowing cops are there and having another 3-5 minutes before the cops get in there

[@xeedflarian9748]

I think it might be that the sirens usually make them quit doing what they were doing, so they don't catch them by suprise, which could lead to a shoot out or hostage situation or collateral damage.

[@Molly-ey6lq]

In real life that's what they do, but the people who make up these stories don't know that.

Ppl in the first story are evil af, there's no way I'm going back to their house to babysit for them, especially after finding out that they had enough money to hire "armed security". Like clearly they are doing something lucrative enough to afford that n it's by no means a cheap service to pay for and that also in my opinion tells us that they know someone is after their kid and that they have a belief that they needed the security guards which is honestly terrifying tf are you doing in your private life that is getting your kids targeted by other grown adults.

[@jackdaniels7653]

Has to be some sort of drug money

[@davidbiagi2932]

Just because someone is rich and has bad people go after their kid doesn’t mean they are in any kind of shady business. There are people out there who stalk rich people and their families for months and figure out the perfect time to try and kidnap them to get a ransom because they know you have money. And after knowing they have a legit safe room AND will also now have armed security, why tf would you NOT want to work for them? That would now be pretty much the safest people to work for. But hey, you go ahead and stop working for someone with high levels of security and go work for poor people (who also have kids who can be targeted by bad people to be kidnapped and trafficked) that have NO safe room, no backup armed security, NOTHING. Do you now realize how fucking dumb you sound?
