911:We will be at the scene in an hour, an hour and a half, tops.

Ok, the operator didnt really say that, but she might as well have:

911 Response Time Called into Question


* Maureen Umeh

GAITHERSBURG, Md. - A Montgomery County woman is demanding answers about a delayed response to a 911 call she placed from her home. She told FOX 5 she woke up at 5:49 a.m. to find her home trashed and burglarized, and she called 911—but help didn't arrive until 7:09 a.m.

With a response time of ~1:20 I wonder why anyone bothers to use 911. Why not just sit down had have high tea - well, coffee and donuts maybe, with the criminals while we wait for the cops to show?

hmmmm. There's almost no need for them to even come out

They didn't come out when I reported my car stolen...Taking pictures of an empty parking spot wouldn't help anyone.

Good generalization on your whining, though vern.

A neighbor had someone try to do a home invasion. After watching from across the street for a while I ran the guy off. Cops arrived an hour or so after the call to 911. I had to run him off twice over several days. He tried it at several houses within a couple blocks of me. One elderly woman was raped by this man.

Would be a shame if his balls were accidentally cut off, then.

And your both being fallacious:

Fallacy: Hasty Generalization

Not to be confused with that other word that sound very much like fallacious...

it would have been a damn shame if someone just shot him during a previous home invasion.

That isn't an emergency. Nobody's life was in danger.

The police and 911 operator knew no ones life was in danger? How??

Run him off TWICE I think Houdini might make an appearance or disappearance here.
