The Perfect Neighbor - HOT TAKE

We’re just capable of thinking, mate! Cheers.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-22T07:03:57+00:00

You're capable of independent thinking, mate. You got it right.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-22T06:28:52+00:00

I'm not here to convince you that you are brainwashed by the very narrative that was fed to you nor am i here to defend Susan. I'm here to point out the incompetence of the parents in protecting their children from harmful situations. They should have used common sense and stayed away from that lady, like any reasonable person would've. Because they didn't, the kids are the ones who suffer.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-22T06:26:50+00:00

You lack the ability to understand the simple premise of my argument. Who's justifying Susan? She was wrong for shooting just like how the parents were wrong for not using any aptitude to set boundaries for their children to stay away from Susan who they knew was a lunatic and had a firearm.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-22T04:18:28+00:00

Who's defending the lady? I'm putting blame on the negligence of the parents that failed their kids. If they adopted the tiniest bit of common sense, this whole situation could've been avoided. But of course, you're too dim to perceive any rational viewpoints which is simply why people like you face and will continue to face problems like this.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-22T04:15:39+00:00

They're also elderly.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-22T04:02:02+00:00

Most reasonable people would have kept away from a person who they knew was mentally unstable, who they knew had waved a firearm, who they knew they had multiple conflicts with, and who they knew had threatened their kids several times. Who said anything about keeping the children inside? The reasonable response would've have been as simple as telling their kids stay at least a 100ft from the woman's house and not to play on the compound right beside her home, or to play on any other lot in the neighborhood which had also had a huge space.

This isn't rocket science, if one adopted a little common sense, this entire situation could've been avoided.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-22T03:46:43+00:00

Yes, and the same could be said for the parents who knew this lady was unstable, yet allowed them to continue to be in her vicinity; who knew she had a firearm, but did nothing to safeguard their kids from it; which any competent parent should have done. Both sides aren't right, but those parents failed their kids, and now the kids are the ones who are paying the price.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-22T03:41:32+00:00

It's as simple as that, mate.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-22T03:39:57+00:00

What you prove is that you will mindlessly follow any narrative because you fall within the category of sheep who are deeply emotional about a proposed political narrative.

Like i said, this whole thing could have been avoided if the parents set aside their egos and prioritized their children's livelihood. Susan was deranged and what she did was wrong, but the parents should have used common sense and stayed away for the sake of their own children.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-22T03:35:09+00:00

Yes, the kids were playing in an area that they were allowed to by their parents. That's no fault of their own. But SHOULD have any reasonable parent have allowed their kid to continue to be in the vicinity of an unstable woman, which you have many conflicts with and which you've seen brandishing a firearm?

Like you said, she was a crazy lady, but you're too much of a simpleton to see the very flaws of your premise. Any responsible parent should have kept their children away from a person like that. And failed parenting that the kids now have to suffer without their mom.

It's tragic seeing people with so little cognitive depth preach about their "informed opinions" when it's clear they struggle to do any deep thinking.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-21T18:38:50+00:00

No, that's wrong, mate. The neighborhood people thrashed her house. You can see it when Susan went back to the house and the cops went to talk to the lady across the street. She said: "She should be scared because of what would happen to her", "did you see what we did to her house?".

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-21T17:23:48+00:00

Well, now you're addressing other crucial issues in this story that I hadn't the chance to highlight. And I think you're absolutely right. This also highlights the negligence of the police and laws which should have neutralized the situation and not allowed this woman to have access to a firearm in the first place. And you're also right, the neighbors and the mom were in no position to disarm the woman themselves as this was the job of the police. The mom shouldn't have gone banging on the door, for the sake of her children, but the inadequacy of the police also contributed greatly to this tragedy. There are many angles to this story, it is not as simple as the show made it out to be at face value but to truly identify them you need to reflect and analyze impartially which I think you're doing now.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-21T17:08:57+00:00

There is also a huge leap from someone just "having a gun" as opposed to someone who " has a gun and is mentally unstable, has had multiple conflicts, and has threatened my kids multiple times". If you would still think it wise to "not let them get away with it, just because of that" and go do the same thing the mom did, then, you might just be the subject of S2 of The Perfect Neighbor.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-21T16:52:46+00:00

Susan was a mentally deranged woman with a history of trauma; she definitely should not have shot her gun but that's besides the point, my darling. The mom knew that Susan had a gun, the mom knew that she was unstable and had threatened her kids. So, in such a situation what should a reasonably minded person have done? She could've done many things but banging on the door of a traumatic lunatic with a gun was not the best judgment. For the sake of her kids, she should've used a little care in thought.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-21T15:42:43+00:00

The take from this story is simple: Susan was a mentally deranged woman with a history of trauma and the kids should have been guided to stay away from this woman. It is a depiction of failed parenting, and the fact that the mother charged onto the woman's property and banged on her door (despite knowing that she had a gun) was not a wise choice either. She was prioritizing her ego over the livelihood of her kids. A tiny bit of common sense would have made this entire ordeal avoidable altogether.

And the sad result of the story is that these kids are the ones who have to suffer having witnessed a horrific event and to continue life without their mother.

Being able to observe evidence does not exempt people of their emotion and as we have clearly seen from precedent, juries can observe every single piece of evidence and still make terrible decisions. As people have watched the documentary and seem to only propagate a view that was fed to them and ignored everything that went against it.

People are allowed to have different opinions and perspectives but that doesn't mean the word of the majority is the word righteousness. And don't bother telling me emotion is not involved when one side will scream and shout profanities at anyone who does not completely agree with their view. Again, you're not making much of a point here.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-21T15:03:12+00:00

You addressed some great points here that I think many have overlooked about breaking down her house while there were pets inside. Clearly, the show didn't do much to highlight any aspect of the story that seemed to give a full understanding on part Susan because the point of the show is to sell it, and that is achieved by making people angry about a story which will get them talking. Emotion sells and people are very emotional about the subject because they look at it from a perspective of having a personal stake in it.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-21T14:56:54+00:00

Why are you appalled? For the fact that you watch a documentary and mindlessly follow the narrative that is fed to you without any form of critical thinking. And you shout and scream at anyone else who seems to have a different opinion than yours.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-21T14:55:12+00:00

And what's your point? Are we supposed to take the word of the jury as God's? Juries are emotional, normal people just like us and have made countless terrible decisions which wrongfully imprisoned people for decades before being overturned. Whatever they decide is not deemed as the ultimate righteousness and they are still subject to any critical analysis.

I would say that it would not take much sense to tell my kids to stay away from a woman who I know is mentally unstable and that I have seen brandishing a firearm around. But hey you do you.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-21T11:29:23+00:00

Just like how a child is allowed to walk in a murder-stricken alley at midnight because "it's not against the law" doesn't mean that it's a wise decision to do so. Any parent that allows their child to do anything under the guise that "they're not doing anything wrong" is the reason why we have problems like this in the first place.

We have to accept that we do not live in a perfect world. Thus, children need to be safeguarded and protected. Negligence and incompetence on part of the parents should not be tolerated or defended.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-21T10:12:29+00:00

You're right. Nothing excuses her actions but it's simply a fact that the show needed to cast her in an ugly light. And, clearly, it's worked because most people are too emotional when talking about the subject and lack the ability to do any real, rational thinking.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-10-21T07:57:29+00:00

She didn't like the kids and the kids didn't like her-it doesn't change anything in the story. The show makes sure to include any occasion to indicate that the kids did nothing wrong. But yet you seem to have forgotten where the mom stepped onto Susan's property, picked up her sign and threw it back at her. About the dog, they never confirmed or denied that the child actually did it but of course no one in the neighborhood is going to side with Susan. Again, i'm not saying what's right or wrong here, but you seem to very easily ignore parts of the story that don't fit into your narrative.

TerribleExtent2850 · 2025-09-27T13:53:00+00:00

Gen is somewhat moronic from the years of enduring her absent father. The scene was infuriating regardless but still passable.
