"This is an actual 9-1-1 call"

Like I said the first thing I did was scream when I witnessed what appeared to be an attempted vehicular homicide 3 weeks ago. I yelled for my psycho roomate to call the police since he was closest to the phone. He laughed but didn't make the call.

"911, do you need police, fire or ambulance"

elana-"POLICE, HURRY!"

911-"calm down maam, what is your emergency"

elana-Hurry! There was just an attempted vehicular homicide at the motel I'm in!"

911-"Are there any weapons?"

elana-"Please, please come now!!! Yes, the weapon is the truck."

911-"what color is the truck"

elana-"red, it's here it's right outside the bedroom window, hurry, he just crashed into the bldg when he tried to kill my neighbor!"

911-"so there's property damage too? maam we have them on the way right now"

-------------------------------------------------

(What led me to look out the window in the first place was a verbal fight that I heard escalating in the park. lot between 2 males. Additionally, another fight, verbal broke out between 2 women at the same time. "BITCH? BITCH? WHO YOU CALLIN BITCH, BITCH?!"

The male with the red truck had that oh so familiar look of fury in his eyes, the look of murderous rage that I grew so accustomed to seeing in Baltimore as road rage is so common where I lived for so long. The male threw the gears into drive, then slammed it into reverse presumably to hit and kill his opponent.

From the angle of my "bedroom" window-all I could see was him. The next day I learned that the male who was not in the vehicle had pulled a gun on the guy with the truck!

I wish I could tell you that my life is calming down but the day to day is still toxic and I do not feel safe for a # of reasons..............As long as Americans are forced to live on a dis. income, with housing costs so high they will continue to be homeless, or living in squalor and danger as I have spent a great deal of the last 17.5 years.....................

Oddly, there were no arrests. In the 5 weeks I've been staying at "dye-inn" every day is filled with drama, the cops visit this roach motel multiple times a day.
