That makes more sense.

They said that since I wasn’t actually there, I didn’t know what was going on and so they couldn’t act on it.

And this was all before cell phones, so I had to keep leaving my post at the drive-thru to use the company phone to call. The boss was not pleased by this. I could not call to the house, because it was off the hook. I may be getting my dates mixed up here, but this incident happened before or during the time when they finally starting taking domestic incidents serioulsy in Connecticut. There was a time when if things were going on inside the house or within the family, the cops would look the other way. What was that case I'm thinking about where the CT woman got beaten by her husbnad while the police looked on and did not intervene? Cops in that state took a much more hands on approach after that landmark case. They said that since I wasn’t actually there, I didn’t know what was going on and so they couldn’t act on it.

Of course the suspension will be overturned now that story is halfway around the world and the authorities are being mocked to the gills. "The Hoohoo Monologues"...just doesn't have the same ring to it. I just heard one of the women interviewed by the CBC and couldn’t believe my ears.

The cops were a little nonplussed, but they still came out and broke things up.

I was barricaded in my room with my youngest brother and the pets, and someone lobbed a glass through the window that hit my brother in the head. We couldn't use the phone because it was busy all night, and my sister's attempts to call the cops from work (she was at McDonald's, and people were coming through the drive-through telling her about people pissing on the living room rug and such) were fruitless, since the cops hadn't gotten any complaints from the neighbors. In retrospect, while it would have been better for the house had the party gone outside, we were lucky it rained, because surely someone would have fallen through the rotted deck rail and sued. Interestingly, this party was something of a turning point in parental perceptions in town. People started waking up to the fact that their kids weren't always such angels, and the next time there was a housewrecker, the pendulum swung hard the other way.

Someone texts other people to all show up somewhere at some particular time? Holy sh*t:
