You’re right. My approach was wrong. Thank you for pointing that out

He went from saying hello and asking how my day was to calling me a whore who he was going to fucking kill. My response would be the same regardless.

I never asked for them to provide me with the addresses of all the people. I asked them to check if the address I provide them exists in their database.

Women are more likely to have a weapon like that used against them than they are to be able to defend themselves with it. Not a great idea.

I’d prefer more housing

If you haven’t noticed lately, we have a serious shortage.

I love Committee! Awesome food and the restaurant is gorgeous!

Do you live in a dense part of the city? Would you describe walking around as a relaxing experience, especially in the dark in Winter?

I would describe it as extremely stressful with many close calls

Little extreme don’t you think?

You got your whole life doordashed to your front door or something?

Out of state

If it’s the same person, I’d call the FBI or Mass AG if the local cops aren’t taking this seriously enough. The fact that a cop said there was “nothing to be worried about” when they verified this guy is outside your windows at 4:45am is beyond alarming to me.

Such a scary thing to have had happened. I’m so sorry.

Maybe also consider talking to a detective about getting a protective order against the person so that gives cops a prosecutable reason to arrest him if he is near your residence ever again. Normally you need 3 instances of abuse to get them in Mass, but there might be exceptions that apply for this person.

I wonder if there's something like an organized militia that can help bring potential intruders to the courts.

Too bad I guess we'll never know ..

We all would hope but won't keep them off the streets for long also, also hope Op might consider having something around to help defend themselves god forbid.

And the cops need to deliver them to the court for that. that's their job & they didn't do it

If someone peeps in your window, I hope you get a more serious response.

Do you think what they did here was helpful?

I think it depends. There are communities right in Boston that rent to people they know and skip the brokers.

Put a motion camera on the inside of the window, having undeniable evidence helps.

axe handles a solid choice, I mentioned the 2x2" strap since they would have extra left from the window prop. Frankly I wouldnt want my arm/ hand smashed by either. stay safe

Wonder why what you say is true?

I didn’t realize Bostonians hate the police so much until I posted about the 3 states troopers who all died in one week. I got only 1 single comment.

Just curious as to why??

If you want a nice club and you don't want to spend for a bat, an axe handle is plenty sturdy, fits the hand well, and dirt cheap. I'd take that over a cheap dowel.

Sounds like the guy will be right back out doing it again. Keeping criminals at bay requires more than a cop arresting them. Requires better punishment

You don’t have to live in Lexington, which is one of the top school district here. Median home sale price is $1.3m in December. Nearby Burlington and Woburn are much cheaper and extremely livable.

Aside from housing, other stuff are not much more expensive. Cars maybe due to local demand and the freaking weather. Freaking waitlist to get a Toyota/Honda at mrsp here.

Food no idea. The southernmost city I’ve lived in is Columbus OH.
