Make sure they scoop up all your neighbor’s guns and ammunition, especially if you’re in California.

Dear Concerned Neighbor,

Mind your own business.

My neighbor, who is otherwise clean and healthy, imagines being spied upon, imagines break-ins and is generally paranoid.

Well, quit spying on her.

Dear Amy, my neighbor has an NRA sticker on his truck, and a Mossy Oak decal. Can I use a mental health 911 call to disarm him with little risk to me? I fear guns more than I fear republicans.

Dear Concerned,

Imagine your neighbor is sitting in his home, worried about you because you seem to be disconnected from reality. You don’t seem to understand the seriousness of the things happening around you. He’s worried that you are unsafe, unable to care for yourself correctly, and that something terrible might happen to you.

What do you want him to do?

No situation is so bad that calling a cop can’t make it worse.

Amy, the person that wrote to you about the neighbor is a psychopathic personality that revels in making others lives miserable by making false accusations. She has claimed that she was raped by men and uses the female victim card at every chance. California is full of them, they vote Democrat, and will make those that own weapons a living hell.

Dear Amy,

I believe that the American left democrats and the rino gopees are all mentally ill and intend to label all who are not as mentally ill. It seems the inmates now run the asylum called the world and the sane will be hunted down and put in padded rooms and tortured by the mentally ill of the world.
Therefore, I plead God the Father that He will send His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to destroy the wicked of the earth who resist His right ways and return sanity and rightiousness to the earth, a revolted and evil province run by the devil and his evil minions. Come Lord Jesus and let your enemies flee before You. Rule and reign over all the earth from Zion and the City of God, Jerusalem.

Why not post the first part? Good advice...

“Dear Concerned: I shared your question with Dr. Ken Duckworth, medical director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. He and I agree that, depending on the severity of this situation, you could start by simply asking your neighbor, “Do you have a friend or family member I can call for you?”

You can also call the National Alliance on Mental Illness helpline at: 800-950-NAMI (6264) (nami.org). Trained volunteers answer calls such as yours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

You don’t provide details, but also keep in mind that some of the behavior you notice could also be signs of dementia.”

Amy’s answers might be a little better if she didn’t hate men so much. Bitter divorced women shouldn’t write advice columns.

Well the person called about may never ever have to worry about a concerned neighbor again, no one in the cemetery cares.

I wouldn’t recommend a 911 call, but instead a call to the neighbor’s family or minister, someone the neighbor knows and (more or less) trusts or someone who would know where to turn to find someone s/he does trust. The police could only make things worse for this person.

BUT I would not say ‘mind your own business’ as has been suggested elsewhere. One of our neighbors started acting like this in the early Clinton years. He was sure “they” were after him. Before too long he went on his back deck and blew his brains out, leaving behind a wife and 5 year old son. Intervention would have been a good thing.
