Police & DEC just left my house!

We heard a loud gunshot practically next to our house and then a few more. We called the police & when they got here they heard a few more. Now its hunting season but not gun season so they also called in DEC. Our drunken polish idiot of a neighbor was trying to hunt in the pitch dark and shooting in random directions. They found him in the woods about 300 feet from our house. He's under arrest for various charges. Our shed has 2 bullet holes! just 20 feet to the right it would have been in our living room! To say that I'm freaked out is an understatement! DH is beyond pissed!

Re: Police & DEC just left my house!
Glad you're okay (bet that sobered you up fast, huh?!)
But, I have to ask, is it necessary to point out your neighbor's nationality? really??
Piper, it was more about the use of the identification of nationality in this particular context. ?Like the fact that he was Polish had something to do with it. ?I just don't see what his nationality has to do w/ it at all (and "dumb Polock is, sorry, offensive in and of itself). ?
I guess it's a regional thing; where I've always lived, we find ways to identify people of all ethnicities and races w/o pointing those things out (especially in negative connotations). ??
OK, kevschickee. He was a drunken Portugese idiot. Feel better now?
Kristie, I'm sorry this happened, but I'm kind of in shock so many people read this and didn't call you out. He can be drunken and idiotic, but wtf does that have to do with being polish? Would you ever in a million years say he was a "drunken African American idiot"? "drunken Jewish idiot"?
And to defend it by saying everyone calls him a dumb Polack? Talk about digging yourself in deeper.
Yes, I'm Polish. And I'm not mad at you. I'm just sort of surprised something so flagrantly offensive could fly under so many people's radar...
sorry if I offend anyone but thats what he's called around here...everyone knows him as the dumb polock. His parents are the nicest & sweetest couple you will ever meet with the cutest accent. They are always apologizing for the stupid crap their idiotic son does.
Some people are just too damn touchy and if they read some of my responses to this post they would have known I was not thinking that polocks were dumb or whatever.
All I can guess, Sulla, is that people either weren't surprised or knew it was a losing battle to make a comment. And judging by the last comment, well...
For myself, I didn't read this post until now. And I can say I'm a little (or a lot) taken aback but I doubt that will make a difference.
my first thought was that his being Polish didn't really have anything to do with what he did or why he did it. To call him an idiot would have been sufficient. I know lots of smart Polish people. I consider myself one. I am sorry for what he did to your shed and I'd have been scared too, but his ethnicity shouldn't have come into play. And I don't care if you live in an area where this is common. It's still not appropriate.
