i have a neighbor who's an untreated schizophrenic. in 2020, she started showing up at my place. in a previous incident, she had walked into my house in the middle of the night. looking for her ex, she said. i called 911, and she got 30 days.
she showed up twice in my back yard. the 1st time i shooed her off, but the 2nd time i called 911.
the dispatcher was obsessed w finding out if this was 'a domestic situation'. they were getting so many domestic and neighbor conflicts that they wouldnt come out if no one was armed or throwing punches. i argued w the dispatcher for 10 min. i knew who she was and where she lived. she finally walked away as i was talking to dispatch. i followed at a safe distance, and i knew she wasnt violent. but dispatcher was pissed. trouble is when i didnt have eyes on her any more, they had their excuse to blow off the call.
i asked for a super and didnt get connected but she came back and said she could send an car, but i never saw a car.

a friend of mine is rehabbing the house next to hers, and she's a real problem. she worries about her getting hurt.
