Its so hard. My Grandmother escaped during the dead of winter trying to go "to work". Thank god a neighbor was coming home and calmly brought her back.

Theres a good chance that this lady has screamed for help before and actually needed it, like fell or some shit like that (dementia/alzheimers are fucking terrible, of course making an assumption here..), this time was a false alarm but good onn that girl.
I got an old lady neighbor kinda like this. Most times its nothing, just a freakout, but twice she had fallen in the yard, and once was actually being attacked by a dog. Fuck now im super depressed thinking about this

There are people way in the distance. They didn't come to help so they must be used to this.

Nah that girl's a real one, hearing someone scream bloody murder and racing towards it.
That old bag, though....she needs the book thrown at her. Absolutely unnecessary to act like she's being attacked.

u/chamberofcoal 3d ago
imagine that dude was actually dangerous and that girl got hurt or killed because the old lady wanted to escalate the situation. dont scream "help," "rape," or "fire" unnecessarily.

u/Bazrum 2d ago
someone recently told me that their self defense teacher told them to scream "fire" instead of "rape" because "people come to help with a fire, they dont give a shit about rape"

In my experience that’s not true. In my apartment someone was having a psychotic breakdown and shouting “rape” in the hallway. Everyone in the building showed up. It felt like a horror movie.

That's some real appeal to authority BS. A "self-defence guru" said people will come to a fire? Who willingly wants to get burnt? On the other hand people would want to stop an attack against a person.

u/CatchMeWritinQWERTY 8h ago
Yeah IDK, maybe just me, but if someone is screaming they are getting raped I’m at least going to see what’s going on from a safe distance and definitely calling 911. Pretty much the same I would do for a fire.
I wonder if there is any actual data/psychology to back up the claim, or if someone just thought it sounded good and also profound so it caught on.

While it does look like a sidewalk, the car parks all connect to it…

u/chamberofcoal 3d ago
i kind of get where people are coming from, because if you haven't seen a suburban subdivision like this, you wouldnt know they exist. but still... looking at the video... sidewalk? a 10 foot wide sidewalk with actual walking paths to each home and leads to the parking lots? this is for cars and humans - he has to drive here to park, but he's supposed to drive slow. probably was driving slow, which is how her old ass was able to walk up and block the car and start screaming for unneeded help.

What I get from this is the car was perhaps going over the walking speed limit when this old woman placed herself in front of the speeding vehicle with absolutely no harm to her body.
She begins screaming bloody murder when the young woman who, it seems is breaking all kinds of walking speed limits comes tearing around the corner to come to the aid of the old woman being assaulted by a stationary vehicle.
And, by her expression, is as confused as the rest of us.

I’m trying to figure out if homeboy in the car is on a narrow street or a wide sidewalk. Pretty sure it’s a sidewalk, and if that is the case, I kinda get why mama is pissed. She could handle herself like an adult, of course, but I understand the anger.

Some housing developments have roads and garages in the back of homes and paths like these for the front doors. Im assuming this is a path because i dont notice driveways or any spaces for cars in front of the homes.

This isn’t the full video. It was an accident and the delivery driver even says to another neighbor that he realized it was the wrong way but she pounced before he could try to leave. He actually has to get past her to get back on the correct road.

I don't know their relationships, but assuming all are strangers in this clip that girl is a fucking hero.
She heard a woman screaming bloody murder, and with no knowledge of what the danger could've been she ran full speed to help her.
Call her naive if you will but that's a hell of a quality.

u/azalago 3d ago
There are plenty of psych wards. What there aren't enough of are long-term care facilities for elderly folk that require a secure/locked environment. Assisted living only wants high functioning people, and nursing homes don't want anyone with major mental illness, dementia, or requiring a locked unit. They hand-pick the easiest patients that get referred. So these folks usually have nowhere to go except home with their families.
I work in a psych hospital and there's this lady who does placement assessment for elderly patients for a particular facility, that will try to sneak into the nurse's station and read their charts in violation of HIPAA. She's just trying to find any criteria to turn us down since they know the "hard" ones tend to come from us because psych hospital. And yes, that's a huge violation of HIPAA, we have to chase her out.

That young lady will grow up and go into some military branch or firefighter/ police officer, wish the music was down more so we could hear the conversation, because after she ( the young lady) said something the old lady started saying something and the look changed instantly into the look of shit I’m being a dumbass in front of this little girl and starts verbally back peddling to explain why she’s screaming.

This is a driveway for cars to access their parking spots. He might’ve been going faster than the lady liked, but he has a right to drive there.

u/chamberofcoal 3d ago
sidewalk of what? the grass? this is a paved "driveway" for cars to get into their parking spaces - its a subdivision with tiny lots. her complaint was his speed, as we can hear. which we dont know how fast he was going - he may have been going 10mph while there's a 5mph sign, but we do know this lady is out of her mind and screaming for HELP that she doesn't need.
he's 100% allowed, and probably required, to drive here to park and get into his/a friend or family member's home. the lady keeps saying "walking speed." that's her "problem."

That little Girl has either balls of steel or a death wish running up like that. What the hell was was she even going to do but stand there with here mouth open and hand 🤚 up. She didn't even have a cellphone to call for help. Thank goodness it was a false alarm bc she would've been another victim like her Neighbor Karen 1800's there. Woooof !

u/hamhandz 3d ago
She probably panicked and didn't really think beyond "person is screaming for help I need to do something". Good on her that her immediate reaction would be to try and help but hopefully after this she realizes she should get an adult in situations like this.
3
u/Jbrozas2332 3d ago
I agree. She's def. A good human being by running to help. Hopefully this doesn't traumatize her and helps her learn not to be a wild human when dealing with certain individuals. Also to atleast bring a cell phone. Shes def a soldier. The way she ran up. Def a leader.
