[QUOTE=Master_Shake]I think it's clear that when this guy has the slightest inkling of danger he won't sit around saying "Ho-Hum." I think that implies he would get involved. Clearly he gets involved by calling the police (because he did so). His first impulse is irrelevant, only what he did.[\QUOTE]

Calling the police was the last option I looked at. Ignoring the situation I left as NOT an option, because the person was trespassing.

[QUOTE=Master_Shake]The guy here wasn't in a dark alley and the stranger never approached him. Again you're just making stuff up.[\QUOTE]

Umm, it was a dark alley, and the storage unit is within four feet of where multiple cars are parked.

[QUOTE=Master_Shake]THAT HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED, and even if he's right; using his slightest inkling standard would certainly get a lot of people involved with the cops for no reason.[\QUOTE]

I knew there were not any residents in the apartment that the storage unit belonged to, and knew due to state laws, and the way the management company is run that they would not rent a storage unit on that property for the purpose of someone's place to sleep. Hence I deducted that the person in there was trespassing.

As a teenager two of my friends were shotgunned down and killed on the street by a 16 and 17 year old who just drove up, shot them and drove off, in the evening. Three years later, another friend was shot in the face after leaving a night club. And two years ago another had two strangers enter his house (ended up being people hired by his girlfriend), and stab him to death, rip out the carpet to get rid of any blood left at the scene, stuffed his body in a refrigerator and dumped it at a trash dump 40 miles north of here. So, I don't particularly trust strangers, especially if they can't look me in the eyes and say "hi" at least.

ack, I don't know what happened with the Quote tags?
