K basically, a five year old's 46 year old mother collapsed in Detrot and the kid calls 911 twice. They basically tell him to f*ck off and quit playing games. Because help wasn't send immdediately the mother dies, and she would've lived if help had been sent.


They force kids to memorize the number, and then when one uses it in a serious situation he gets told to go away? Stupid

I know, I live outside of detroit, so I heard about it last night, and I heard the 911 call and honestly I hope that operator lives in guilt for the rest of her life and then goes to hell. She was the most ignorant person alive in that call.

blackTshirt 04-12-2006 09:41 AM

shouldn't it be like..
you call there and they ask what's wrong and they send a thing there and in the meanwhile they ask your name and stuff and keep you on the phone long enough to track you and if you're ****ing with them they make you pay ****loads of money?

IamAlejo 04-12-2006 11:51 AM

I've said it once, i'll say it 1000 times. Detroit is one of the top 5 most crap and horrible places in the world, not just the US. It sucks, and is a dump.

The fact their 911 operators are idiots further proves my point.

Reznorslave 04-12-2006 11:53 AM

Hopefully the person that took that call will lose their job!

Completly agree.

Also, Meliki, do you give up on everything you don't like? Seeing that something isn't the way you want it doesn't mean stop cring and let it die. it means do something till it changes.

Also, I have a monster crush on http://www.musicbanter.com/attachmen...0&d=1144849173

Decoy 04-12-2006 02:42 PM

That total crap man, i feel bad for the kid. :(

IamAlejo 04-12-2006 04:04 PM

I hope the phone operator was white so we can get some REVEREND JESSE JACKSON on the scene.

And that's only half kidding. NAACP and the media would get all over this.

dog 04-14-2006 06:44 AM

whole world is screwed and horrible, not just u.s.a

Crazy Luv 04-14-2006 08:37 AM

^agree with you on that


This is crazy **** right here. Those people should lose everything! That kid will be messed up for life, not calling 911 no more because they dont help. Oh thats nice. I hope that 911 operator dies from guilt. How can you live with yourself after that?!

^Who is that?

Yeah that is really bad, which reminds me of how the NZ operators have screwed up a lot over the past couple of years, we used to have a really good reputation for call outs. I remember one time this girl getting attacked called the police and they sent her a taxi...

bungalow 04-14-2006 09:45 PM

There was an incident somewhat like this one where a kid was locked in the trunk of a car, luckily he had his cell phone with him, so he called the police, and the operator thought he was pranking them, and he died in the trunk of the car.

love_meliki 04-17-2006 07:50 AM

this is why i hate the police and anyone who has authority over people but is in no way superior to general people.

wanderlust 04-17-2006 03:05 PM

thats horrible for that poor kid
the world sucks

Music Is Pwnage 04-17-2006 04:43 PM

I express my anger for the world with book-writing. Now, I'm going to include my character burning a cop. Because he likes to burn people, and the right people for that matter. I fukking hate the law because they always threaten jail, yet they completely let things like this get away by IGNORING ACTUAL EMERGENCIES!!!

Ah America, one of the few places you can find a CVS directly across the street from a Walgreens.

someonecompletelyrandom 11-13-2010 01:43 PM

Conan mentioned this the other night on his show. Then he ripped off a piece of his own beard and gave it to somebody. True story.

EDIT:

Also I'm going to Kentucky next week. Let's hope I don't eat my soul patch.

Let's hope you do.

I haven't seen a picture of it, but Soul Patches are stupid looking things.

It's the only bit of facial hair I can grow. :(

You and every other teenager. Thats why it looks stupid. Its like "look guys, see I told you I was mature" but everyone else goes "would you shave that overgrown peach fuzz, its grossing me out."

I was a young man at the height of nu-metal, which greatly encouraged terible facial hair. If I can upload a photo, I'll show you the piece of **** I was walking around with for close to a year.

someonecompletelyrandom 11-13-2010 02:18 PM

I don't actually wear one. I shave quite often, but it's for whatever reason the only place I have to shave regularly. In all actuallity it looks pretty stupid.

Ah i remember watching that one. But i turned to the channel right when he was ripping his beard. It now makes alot more sense.

Very sad.

And Detroit is absolutely awful. $1 houses anyone?
