Yes it could have been. It could have also been avoided if she, like a rational person, had just accepted his claim that he lived there.

Are you telling me you wouldn't be irritated if someone tried to block entry to your home and demanded to see proof you lived there?

I would have sighed, and keyed in to make her feel happy. It's a simple thing. She wanted to make sure he really lived there.


A good neighbor would have understood where her concern about strangers sneaking into the building was coming from, but victim boy was having none of it.

Why is it ok he didn't have to use his code to enter the building, like everyone else?

At this point, who are you going to believe, someone who behaved in a calm manner to a clear injustice, or someone who is so vindictive that she called the police after she watched him use his key to enter his apartment?

No contest.
I've learned recently you always trust women no matter what they say -- Corroboration unnecessary.

All those unanswered questions, and the mob does not care to hear the answers, because "she's a white racist" drowned everything else out.

Why did she confront him for tailgating - because she's a racist!

Why did she even care about apartment security at all - because she's a racist!

Why did she insist he code in before proceeding into the apartment - because she's a racist!

Why did she ask for ID to prove he lived in the building - because she's a racist!

Why did she follow him down the halls and into the elevator - because she's a racist!

Why did she call the police after he went into an apartment - because she's a racist!

Off to the lynching tree for her.
He did not tailgate.

Everyone keeps making assumptions about whether he keyed in or not or tailgated. Others say they'd like to see what happened before he started recording. I'm guessing the security system is there and can show us who keys in and when and that there'd be video surveillance on that door as well.

I'm sure most everyone would have been irritated. I'd would also have the empathy to understand where her concern was coming from, and taken the 10 seconds out of my time to code in.


What's more irritating, taking the time to code in, or the time and effort it takes to whip out your phone, recording the person whose concerns about basic building security that you are mocking?

It wouldn't even irritate me because I would be glad to have people like her being vigilant about security in my building.
