I mean she hadn't even been living in Tennessee for 20 days at the the time of her death so I can't imagine a scenario where the hospital saw her as a repeat visitor. I know google reviews can easily be influenced but the hospital looks like a dump....

I second this. I took my son here for his 10th birthday. He started watching Forged in Fire. They wouldn’t make a weapon for liability reasons, but it was really cool he made a ring toss set for the back yard.
They were absolutely fantastic I can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s female owned and these women are such bad asses!!!!

I hope so too! At the very least I made sure to communicate my appreciation for her hard work. Thank you again for your recommendation. :)

I hope she can help! Funny that I had JUST read about her efforts for tenant rights before I read your post. Sometimes, the universe is paying attention :)

It feels like a big defeat to have to move back in with family or crash with friends but if that’s an option, take it. There is no shame in that game anymore. It’s all survival now.

Something very, very similar happened in Brooklyn about 15 years ago.
I’m sure these ERs are overwhelmed, and I wonder if the article omits a history of this woman showing up there with non-issues, but, whoa, the police?

Thank you, I outlined both of these examples when I messaged them both this morning. I appreciate your help!

New England needs to be its own country, it’s awful that we live in the same nation as that filth. Literally a county in Arkansas ran a billboard campaign to prevent father-daughter incest and we’re up here promoting PFML. Wayyyy different worlds.

Thank you for being a good landlord and maintaining your properties, your tenants are lucky people! I wrote a long message to both of them this morning detailing the building codes they were violating and outlining the sections of the Landlord Tenant handbook they are out of compliance with. Hopefully they will work to resolve the issues and we can work to find a new place in the meantime.

I believe you are completely correct. Every time they've come out to service something small all they talk about is how much money they've put into this building, etc, etc.
The tub issue I referenced in my original post was supposed to be resolved by December 18th and is still continually being pushed back, which to me clearly shows they haven't even tried to schedule a repair.
We will be trying to move as soon as we can afford it.

Well what I don't understand is that I spoke with the maintenance guy the night that the pipes burst and he said he did exactly that. I don't get why they now need to disconnect boilers to resolve that issue.

I've been documenting as much as possible and I'm considering trying to write out a full timeline of events where we were without heat, water, hot water, etc just to have it for reference. Everybody I've talked to has basically told me to move out as fast as possible, so I think we'll be going that route as soon as we can afford to.

That's exactly how I'm feeling as far as not getting on their bad side, but if they're willing to leave us without heat for up to 6 weeks, I don't really think they have a good side lol. The only thing that helps our drain is liquid plumber and it'll slowly drain for maybe a day or two tops. I messaged them today in a group text explaining all of the housing codes they're violating and outlining the relevant parts of the Landlord Tenant handbook, so we will see.

It’s also the fucking south, I don’t think this would happen in New England. A cop in Tennessee can shoot a kid because he’s experiencing a mental health crisis and then get elected county sheriff by the kids conservative parents to own the libs. You heard em in the vid it’s Sunday. Can’t be bothered on the lords day 💒🙅🏻♂️

Contact Iron Mountain Forge. It was a one night experience workshop last year and I made a stamped metal bowl and a bottle opener. got to play with fire and some cool pieces of machinery. Like other poster said, a first time creation can't be too complicated. It was a lot of fun and I did learn a few fundamental metal working concepts. And my bottle opener does work! I think they were on a reality TV show about metalworking but I had never heard of that before. Pretty cool though. http://ironmtnforge.com/

The cops are not medical professionals qualified to diagnose the patient, they were acting on information from the doctors at the hospital. The doctors are the ones who should be on administrative leave and the hospital should get sued for misconduct. The police wouldn’t even be at the hospital if the doctors did their job. I think your rage is misguided in this specific case.

Check out Iron Mountain Forge and Furniture.
They have knife making classes, and the blacksmith loves to make swords.

Cops are too easily influenced by their preconceived notions about interacting with the public - they will tell you the public lies through their teeth at every opportunity but will take somebody's word as fact if it gives them justification for aggression or indifference.
How many of these cops are also licensed medical first responders? Even if she was a "run of the mill mentally ill person" (which I think you're exactly right about - they made that assumption).....is that how we want somebody to be treated by the police when they're having a breakdown? That's disgusting.
If police are capable of showing compassion to Dylann fucking Roof after he murdered 9 people by buying him a burger - I'd expect an equal level of professionalism and compassion to a mentally ill person......which again, she wasn't, the police were just flat out wrong with their assumptions (that what the hospital told them was a fact).
