Arguably the most disliked person on Lemmy, because I defend free speech and civil rights, and I push back against Fascists, Nazis, and Lemmy Groupthink.

Yeah, it's weird. And yes, I am in the states. And actually police are pretty trustworthy here, it's just the bad ones that make the news, and the bad news is what everyone reads.
But in this case, the police just seemed like it wasn't worth the effort. And that may be true. I posted on a neighborhood site and the vast majority said it was probably just a scam or someone wanting to ask for money.
Now that I've had time to reflect, I'm not as upset by it. Because there were plenty of other places on my street and in this part of town that she could have gone if really in distress. Still wish I would have answered the door sooner, but I've followed the local news since, and it doesn't seem like anything bad happened. So probably all worked out.
