Guests in the condo pool. Call the police?

[Anonymous]

Someone in the FB comments section says that the woman who called the police is dating a black woman with black children. That would make things interesting. If this is true, how does race fit in then?

Why would you have a copy in your when you’re trying to cook and serve hamburgers to your guests? You just keep yours with you at all times like a drivers license?

They should have it in their condo. The police officers asked for it, they declined to produce it so the officers said they'd wait to get it from a property manager as soon as they get there. I would keep it in my paperwork. I would also know and follow the rules.

They don’t have the burden of proof the complainant does.

It sounds like they do if they are using private property and cannot show they live there and they have a permit for the party.

The caller is on the HOA board but it doesn't make sense why she didn't provide it.

YES. Always call the cops. About everything. & make sure someone is filming you make that call. Lastly, come up with your own nickname: like pool party Paul or security Sammy. It makes things easier!

Race fits in two ways:
1. Would she have called the cops if the partiers were all white?
2. Would the police have stuck around for so long if the partiers were all white?

No idea what has happened over the past 20 years or so, but a lot of her friends in high school were POC and from what I can see from her Facebook these days that is still the case. I haven't talked to her in person for over 20 years, so who knows what the situation is but I know that she never had stellar communication skills, so her approach was probably not great off the bat and then it most likely escalated to calling the police for whatever reason. Of course there's always a chance it was motivated by racism, but that wouldn't be my gut feeling in this situation.

You haven't seen this woman in 20 years. Who someone was in high school isn't a fair representation. You probably barely talked to her in high school and from your post were probably a mean girl to her.

So you're saying you'd rather just assume a stranger is a racist based off of a social media post rather than taking the word of someone who actually knew her at some point in her life and has access to her current social media? And where do you get mean girl from this post? Are you sure you actually comprehend what the poster wrote?

That poster was taking a dig about her and her friends in high school. To say you know her and she was never racist is one thing but to take a dig about her in high school was unnecessary.

Do you know what POC means? POC = people of color. Does the post make more sense to you now?

NP - but I don't see why this is an act of racism.

That’s the entire point.

But everyone here is trying to make the story about race.

No one will know but assuming it is just because of race is not the answer either. They had a large group take over the pool and picnic area and probably didn't pay guest fees or get permission based off the video as there was no mention. It also wasn't clear who lived there. The woman on facebook didn't live there and was clearly looking for her 5 minutes of fame.

Ted Bundy lived with his girlfriend and her daughter without murdering them. Racists can have black friends/lesbian lovers just like serial killers can have friends that are alive.

So now she's not just a racist but you've made the leap from exactly nothing that she must be a psychopath too?

Some of you people are out of your minds. Honestly.

Maybe, just maybe, she's sick to death of certain people inviting a bus load of people to use (for free!) the facilities that she is actually paying for. I mean, why not invite everyone from your office to work out at your condo gym too? I'm sure that nobody else in your condo would mind. And since the washing machine and dryer work pretty well, maybe you could also prop open the door of the building and invite the local homeless community in to use the facilities. I mean, why not, right? And I'm pretty sure that she could pack the pool too, by inviting everyone she knows. She would be miss popular for the day with her friends, but it's a really obnoxious thing to do when you live in a communal space with shared facilities.

The printing facilities at your work are probably pretty good too, so maybe you could invite your kids' class in to use them one day. I'm sure your colleagues and bosses wouldn't mind....

Use your brain a bit, for the love of God.

Extra people can mean extra guard costs for safety. Condo pools that do t have guards (ours recently voted to save money and not hire guards -which I totally disagree with) have even stricter visitor rules and limits.

If someone (in this case multiple people) are breaking the property rules and endangering the other swimmers by crowding and won’t leave when asked yes you call the police because they are trespassing. Their permission to be there was also very tenuous: friend of a friend. I’ve seen security and police called. Most people leave when they are told security has called the police. But these people decided to stay and make a “racial” scene.

You don’t get to have a big party in someones else’s pool just because you feel like it. Violate the rules you will be asked to leave. Refuse to leave the police will come. It’s fairly simple.

It wasn't even clear who actually lived there as the woman and man cooking never commented. They may not have lived there. We don't know the entire story except from one facebook post from a woman who made a lot of racist comments and didn't live there.

Idiot. The police have no business being involved in this and trying to enforce condo bylaws. It was inappropriate for them to ask the people for the bylaws. This isn't their job. They were harrassing the adults and upsetting the kids. I would not stop managing my party for this request. You are a nut job.

It’s not someone else’s pool. The couple shown on the video are owners there and it is THEIR pool.

So you don’t know what an analogy is, huh?
I never called this woman a psychopath although that picture where she grinned like a maniac and threw up her hands begs to differ. I’m simply stating that having friends or lovers of a different race does not mean that someone can’t be racist. I would point out the micro aggressions in your statement above, but you’re so unhinged that I fear your reaction, Ted.
