I doubt they said “forcibly stop”, but I completely believe that they told residents they were responsible for not letting their access be used by people they did not know.
It’s a common problem, especially where you can buzz people in — some stranger buzzes every apartment, saying they have a package, hoping that one of the residents will just buzz them in without asking questions.
In general, we want people to be civil, and if this guy had simply decided to treat the woman as a fellow human being who was only trying to do “the right thing”, he could easily have assauged her fears, and shown her his key, introduced himself, and they would no longer be strangers.
Instead, he decided that this would be a fun time to ruin her life. So he just barged past her, filming the whole thing, got her fired from her job, she’ll probably lose her apartment, and the world thinks she’s a racist.
Been there, lived that.
People would buzz my apartment and I would go down stairs to confront them rather than let them in.......
People have come to my third floor apartment at all hours of the night and knock on my door. Either someone let them in because of the buzz or they just turned the doorknob and yanked the door open.........Wrong building.........
I've lived thru everything imaginable during my 23 years of apartment life in a steadily declining neighborhood and there is no way I can condemn this woman for her actions.............
