PEAK TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME: Marina Sirtis blames 'our Fuhrer' for Airbnb visit gone wrong

There’s a story flying around over the past few days about three women who were questioned by police in Rialto, CA when a neighbor called 911 to report a suspected burglary of the home next door. The 911 caller, who was white, spotted the 3 women, who were black, loading their car with their luggage. Unbeknownst to the neighbor, the 3 women had rented the home through Airbnb and weren’t doing anything wrong. The rest, as they say, is history:

Of course it’s being made into a race issue, but there’s no reason it should. We’ve been told for years that if we see something out of the ordinary — like people you don’t recognized loading up a car at a neighbor’s homen — to say something:

Be reasonable.

"Rialto Police Lt. Dean Hardin told CNN the person who called police was an elderly white woman, and she did not recognize the women as being her neighbors."

"I cannot get into the caller's head, beyond that she thought she was seeing a crime," Hardin said." https://t.co/d6t1ixsH4Z

We even have a similar example from Brooklyn, NY. A neighbor saw someone she didn’t recognize putting something in the trunk of a car so she called 911. When police arrived, the found a murder scene. Via NBC New York:

A neighbor of Safran in Prospect Park, Doreen Giuliano — who is the mother of the so-called “Grid Kid” murder convict John Giuca — told reporters she noticed a suspicious man at the house Monday. She wondered at first if the family had hired someone to work on the house and texted Safran’s wife, who was inside the house with her daughter at the time.

Then, when the man went to put something in the trunk of his car and went back into the house, “I said, ‘You have a man in your house,'” Giuliano said, prompting Safran’s wife to call 911.
