I live in a city, and I hear people screaming incoherently outside my window on a nightly basis. This is because my neighborhood has a sizable homeless population.
Am I an asshole for not making nightly 911 calls to report this?
One of the reasons I left the city and will never return; it drove me crazy. When I hear someone scream where I live now I know it is serious, I know who it is and I know that at least 5 other people already called the police (or ambulance/fire dep). It also rarely happens.
I am currently in this situation. It's case by case. Guy screaming "help, I'm dying!" I called 911. Two bums fighting over a bike? It will be over before the cruiser arrives.
