Apparently you're now racist if you find a violent convicted felon living
in the crawlspace under your house and you call the cops.

When Ashly Guardino was woken up by unusual noises at her Lake Elsinore
home last Saturday, she assumed it was her landlord, making needed repairs
to the roof.

But much to her surprise, rather than finding the property owner tinkering
atop the rental residence, Guardino was stunned to see what she described
as a "f–king dirty ass arm" reaching out from underneath the home.

"There is a whole ass man living here for months... living underneath the
house," the professional house cleaner lamented in an eye-popping TikTok
tell-all.

"Do you know how creepy it is to see a f–king arm come out of [a hole in
your house]?," she asked. "Imagine being half awake and seeing an arm, a
dirty arm come out of this hole."

In the shocking clip, which has scared up over 6.2 million views, the
freaked-out mom shared footage of police removing a shirtless man from a
small opening at the base of the residence she shares with fiancée Savannah
and two children.

Officers escorted the perp, covered in dirt, into a waiting police vehicle.

The unwelcome discovery is part of the ongoing "phrogging"phenomenon, which
sees gate-crashers sneak onto a property and secretly live there
indefinitely.

The trend, named after a frog's habit of leaping from pad to pad, is said
to be a growing concern for law enforcement. Lifetime even covered a
particularly harrowing case out of Hawaii in the true-crime production
PHROGGING: HIDER IN MY HOUSE released in July.

The phenomenon appears to be more popular in places with both housing
shortages and good weather. Last month, a 30-year-old man was discovered
phrogging in an underground vault beneath the Japanese American National
Museum in Los Angeles.

"He's a 26-year-old and on parole. Apparently, he burned his baby mama's
house down," she explained, adding the man was a drug addict with a history
of seeking shelter underneath other people's homes.

Still shaken after discovering the unwelcome guest, Guardino went on to
discover that the guy-- once he was released from prison for setting his
ex's abode ablaze-- had been living below a house across the street from
hers. He was ultimately found out by the owners and wound up back in jail.

Once he was re-released, the repeat intruder returned to the neighborhood--
only to make his new nest beneath Guardino's dwelling.

Officials could not confirm how long the man had lived there. Guardino,
however, offered a guesstimate.

"I don't really know how long he was [here]," she said, estimating the
unwelcome visitor had been residing subsurface for at least three months.

Guardino had noticed that the screen covering the crawl space’s access
point had been removed several times over the past few weeks, but as a pet
owner, she assumed that one of the animals was responsible.

"We remember hearing some knocking and whistling and different noises going
on in the house," she said. "But we'd just brush it off [thinking it was]
the TV, the wind or whatnot."

Guardino went on to explain that before the authorities came to her aid,
she angrily confronted the violator, once he revealed himself.

"I'm yelling at him, 'What the f–k are you doin? Get the f–k out of our
house,'" she recalled.

Cops eventually arrived on the scene, but Guardino claimed in a post that
the officers only casually cased the home at first, doubting there was a
man living below the property. Once the authorities spotted the trespasser,
however, they sprang into action.

"They threatened [him with] dogs and guns because he [wasn't] responding.
He was just quiet," said Guardino. "And they're yelling at him to come out
and he's ignoring the police."

After a 30 minute standoff, the man exited the crawl space and was placed
under arrest.

Rather than empathizing with Guardino and her family following the
traumatic event, side-eyeing skeptics accused her of being insensitive, and
even racist for reporting the offender.

"Did dirty mean black?" questioned a commenter, assuming that the squatter
was African American.

"The microaggressions of, 'seeing a DIRTY arm at 6am in the dark while half
asleep' and then THE REVEAL of the individual. You’'e shameful," another
armchair critic spat.

Note: Guardino never revealed the ethnicity of the offender.

In a follow-up post, Guardino was left to defend herself against the
astonishing claims.

"Whether he was white, black or Mexican, it doesn't really matter... his
arm was dirty and that's why I referred to his arm as dirty," she said.

Apparently you're really not.

So you only have one example of this, which in your syphilitic mind
makes it a "trend?" In psychology they call this OCD,
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. You tick a lot of the abnormal psych
boxes actually. Is this what got you forced into retirmement from your
job as a secret agent?

I never said anything about a trend, Hutt, you malodorous hobgoblin.
Putting it in quotes like that means you're claiming I said that exact
word, which is a bald-faced lie.

Except that's not what Hutt was doing, as was made clear by the text
preceding the word trend:

"...which in your mind makes it a 'trend'?"

So despite your feverish googling to try and save him, Hutt asserted
that I had stated or implied somewhere in my post that this is a trend.

What *I* pointed out is that quotes don't always mean quoting.

As to whether you yourself said 'trend', you at least posted a headline
(in the URL) that does.

So you mean you dropped into the thread to point out an irrelevancy.

Well, thanks. Well done.

Irrelevancy is moviePig's stock and trade. Also, it's moviePig, for whom
"meaning" has no meaning.

No, you stupid illiterate sociopath... that's not strictly true, halfwit.
But I wouldn't expect you'd understand simple English.

One of the most common uses of quotation marks is to indicate a direct
quote, a passage that is copied verbatim from another source. But
that's not the only reason, now is it?

Trotsky did EXACTLY that. He placed quotes around a single word. How
the fuck did you graduate High School, much less Law School?

Quotes around a single word is the giveaway.

Scare quotes are used to show that the writer doubts the validity of a
word. They are commonly used to show irony, sarcasm, or how something is
“popularly termed.”
Scare quotes generally appear as quotation marks around a single word or
sometimes a phrase.

He's illiterate, pig. Maybe you can find a picture for him... that
should help.

That would mean the author of the article was suggesting a trend. Not me.

*I* was pointing how calling the cops on a convicted felon vagrant
surreptitiously living under your home is now considered raaaaaciiiist.

To chase this all the way to its pedantic bier... it doesn't even have
to be only a single word. A single, small enough concept will do.

So let me get this straight... I can cite anything I want, and simply
divorce myself from any responsibility?

Wow! Then I guess you're never going to be able to tag me for anything,
ever again.

You cited it to bolster your argument. Now you want to run away from it.

Then don't cite it in the first place.
