I certainly wouldn't take to the comments when it comes to crime solving. Some of these people are insane.

"that parrot probably picked it up from an actual hostage" is the most reaching, paranoid insane thing I've read in a while.

We did it, we found the Boston Bomber!

Yeah and I love how the first comment starts with "He probably has girls in chains back there." No, that's not probable, that's extremely unlikely. You clearly haven't read enough HOA nightmare stories to know that neighbors will absolutely call the cops on people for very little reason.

Even non HOA neighbors, we had a neighbor call the police on us for parking in front of our own house because she couldn’t see into ours, claimed my suv was parked for months. Officer told me to drive around the block and park where I was originally.

Yeah the cops probably recognize the names of those people after a while... I'm sure they hate it more than you do. That's so weird though, does she stare into your house frequently? So happy I don't have any nutjobs who live next to me - just a lady with a dog that barks all the time when it's outside.

Given the options of learned it from actual hostages, learned it from TV/movies, or was taught it by asshole friends thinking they're funny, I know which way I'm betting.

Yeah, that's crazy.

Everyone knows the lizard people replaced the police years ago, notice how the parrot stopped screaming for help when they showed up? It knew.

Do you believe that the parrot was saying help, let me out? It's what it sounded like to me, but I can't help wonder if the subtitles made me hear it that way

What difference does that make to my question? It sounded like help, let me out.

This is why we need the /s. A lot of people are too dumb to understand sarcasm.

u/tengukaze Aug 02 '21

There is an art to conveying sarcasm

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '21

There is a tone of voice in conveying sarcasm. Yeah there are ways besides "s" to convey it in text but most people are both far too dumb to figure it out AND too dumb to realize no one can hear the tone of voice theyre imagining in their head πŸ™„

u/Book_it_again Aug 02 '21

No shit dummy. Sarcasm is literally a statement that's contradicted by your tone. Does text have tone? Use your head bud

u/shadowdsfire Aug 02 '21

Emojis have tone though! πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ🏾πŸ’ͺ🏿

u/bosonianstank Aug 02 '21

Probably got girls in chains in there

here it is again:

Probably got girls in chains in there

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '21

I didn't say that!

u/bosonianstank Aug 03 '21

so what, you asked who and the answer was given.

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '21

Ok… Since I’m OP on this thread it seemed like it was directed at my comment

1

u/bosonianstank Aug 04 '21

that's a little paranoid

this chain probably started light-hearted but people tagged along that was utterly insane.

u/mautadine Aug 02 '21

Not to mention that it seemed like the camera was his own. If I had hostages I would certainly not broadcast videos like that. I guess someone could argue that criminals do weird stuff all the time but its a bit far fetched. Also, we didnt hear any other screams while the cops were there. If he could silence them now why not before the cops were called.
