Anyone with half a brain can see that she is actually doubting her own judgement on this. At least she did that. The a--hole who pushed his way in showed no such second guessing his own behavior.

Btw, this is the location of the doorway. A nice alleyway in abandoned downtown St Louis.

She could have gotten that anywhere! You're the one insisting the threshold for calling the police on someone entering their own home is apparently lowered to "I feel like it!", so man up and live in the world you're creating.

I hope to gawd you never sit on a jury in any court I am in.

It's amazing to me that people here have such little regard for the fears of a single woman living alone in the big city
Then she wouldn't have gotten onto an elevator alone with him.

Do we have the video from the door cameras, so we can see everything that happened, and why she felt "uncomfortable" about letting him enter?? No. All we have is victim boy's cell phone video.

I'm white and I would have been glad to prove to her that I live there. He was rude, inconsiderate, and searching for the next viral racial incident.
I'm white and would have proved that I lived there too. But neither of us know what it's to live in this world as a young black men with store owners and police always giving you a suspicious eye. So I can certainly see why he reacted as he did and I'm glad she was fired.

Why did she then? We don't know, because no one cares. the mob has already pronounced her guilty of being a white racist.

Which is pretty damning of her trying to be the female equivalent of Barney fife. But I was specifically responding to why she was fired from her realtor job. They saw enough on that video to make the call. And it was their call to make.

You don't even know if race played any part at all. But i get, the angry knee-jerk mob wants their pound of flesh, and they got it. Mob injustice served on a cold platter.

He says he did buzz himself in. She said he didn't.

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.

This is absolutely much ado about nothing. She buzzed herself in, he tried to push past her without buzzing himself in.

You can see her say several times, the keypad is right here as she attempts to close the door behind her. He states that he doesn't have to show her anything, and he's keeping her from closing the door behind herself.

I'm sure the residents are warned numerous times not to allow tailgaters.
