the house by her neck. No one called the police.

Rich : If someone angry yells loud for more than 5 minutes then a neighbor is likely to call the cops and people growing up in that area learn
that being loud can cause them problems.


Theory :

When cops are NEVER called for domestic issues/street fights unless someone is
actually hit by a bullet; people know they can go on and on and on without getting arrested. People get used to seeing this stuff for years and it becomes normal to them.

Plus many alcoholics have personality problems that contributed to them being an
alcoholic and those problems got into them because they grew up in the house
with the couple yelling, fighting and shooting and the cops never were called.

So basically there are two levels at which neighborhoods call the cops.
Poor people tend to not call the cops until death is imminent and rich people tend
to call the cops a little too early without serious cause.

End.


There are a variety of reasons why poor people don't call the cops; but one of the
clearest is that being poor and going to jail can really mess up a household and
people don't want that to happen to them so they don't want to call on the neighbor
just to have the neighbor return the favor at the worst time.
And because people never call the cops and that's expected, you will be "starting shit with me" by calling
the cops, so now you fear revenge. It's a circle as you can see in my logic.
