Someone needs to post a Youtube clip of a real time break in scenario using this advice using actors. My guess is that the person on the phone **might** be able to dial 911 and possibly (just possibly) get a few words out before they are attacked.
And that’s a maybe.
This is terrible advice.
Leftists (especially European leftists) are advised to thank their intruders/attackers/rapists for showing them the oppressive influence of the white male heteronormative hegemony against the underclass.
The door gets kicked in, the homeowner starts dialing. 911 dispatchers are drinking coffee.
The crook starts searching the home. The phone is ringing at the police dept.
The crook spots the homeowner. 911 picks up.
The homeowner says "HEL-" and the crook knocks the phone from their hand. The 911 dispatcher gets a puzzled look on her face.
The crook begins to beat the homeowner to death. This takes 2 or 3 minutes.
The folks at the police station sit and discuss the phone call. Wrong number? Prank? Minor problem? Should they send someone? This takes about 2 or 3 minutes.
The crook takes a wallet and walks out the door. The cop takes his hat and walks out the door.
