Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I thought it would be, when it began...
Edit: tbh i stopped telling friends or family about it, because they all said the same thing "some less, it must be paranoia".
It's unbelievable, that such dynamics exist in a community. It's as unbelievable as Trump existing and so many people hearing his words and deciding to follow his lead.
Ah, the other thing my neighbors seem to have a massive problem with, is sexuality. I had a drunken neighbor stand in front of my window, screaming "you fucking fag, i'll kill you".
I'm not even gay. That was a real mind bender.
I think because I'm not the typical male doing male stuff. They can't categorize me, so i must be one the "gays" in their little heads.
In this scenario, that seems well worth pressing charges. You’re describing a harassment campaign that is well beyond anything ok. Even if you’d normally disregard a drunken fool, he knows something. If for no other reason press charges to see if you can find out wtf
It only happened one time, i was in the kitchen and when i reached the window, be was already going down the street. I really couldn't see who that was...
Edit: The drunken guy screaming, that happened only once.
