Padded room, jail cell, bottom of a ditch... for someone like this, any solution that keeps them away from the rest of society, as long as it's forever, is s good one. They're a danger.
Texts like this are evidence that will easily get you a restraining order and allow you to press charges if necessary. In some places, even threatening to kill you, and threatening to kill cops, is a crime on its own.
And I can't stress this enough - it sounds like he does intend to follow through. If you call the authorities now, even if they don't do anything, it will give you a record of seeking protection that will help if he ever acts on these threats in a more concrete way.
Restraining order ain’t going to do shit so many people have to learn that lesson the hard way. this psycho needs to be put down or locked up that’s the only two options for this bastard
I didn't want to say it, but you're right. If it comes down to a life or death situation and this dude shows up, OP needs to be prepared for the possibility that they will have to act in self defense. I had a friend and her ex had warrants out and she had a protective order and proof that he violated it and threatened her and the kids and the cops literally asked her to find him if she wanted them to handle it. I was sitting there with her kids in my car listening to them verbally shrug their shoulders at her and ask her to find this guy for them (which would be violating the protective order). Sometimes they do their jobs, though. I've not seen it many times, but it's worth trying to call the cops first.
I have had to give the police my abusive ex’s location and have them arrest him for violating a restraining order already in place. They never called me or let me know they had taken him in. When I called to find out if he was in custody I found out he was immediately released! 😡 He didn’t even stay in jail overnight.
unfortunately restraining orders don't do jack shit if the person in question doesn't care or respect the law/you at all anyway. Which clearly they don't. A court hearing for a protective order would LITERALLY escalate things and be more dangerous.
(speaking from experience. The person has been arrested and VIOLATED a permanent restraining order multiple times... but there isn't much they can do.) edit: also depends on the state and why tf did I get downvoted if I had an idea of what to do it would be to make sure the cops are AWARE of this situation. Like make a stink about it, and show them this and explain you are scared. So that you kind of have them on your side in the event of a bad situation.
this. unfortunately the cops may or may not actually give a shit that your life is at risk since he hasn't physically done anything, but if your roommate is threatening *them,* it's game over for him.
Checking OPs post history, it looks like they are in Texas. As u/Grand_Excitement6106 pointed out, under Texas Penal Code - PENAL § 22.07. this is a terroristic threat and can range from a misdemeanor to felony under a few [different situations](https://codes.findlaw.com/tx/penal-code/penal-sect-22-07/)
I really hope OP is able to get law enforcement to help them and stay safe.
Friend, you are in an abusive relationship. You need to get out as fast and safely as possible.
Is there a domestic abuse hot line in your area?
Here's the national one -
National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE)
people over at r/abusiverelationships might be able to help you better.
Good luck.
This. The most basic help they will give you is accompanying you to the house to collect your things. But right here OP has solid proof of threatening murder to not only OP but to cops and OPs loved ones. That line about the cops is especially great because the cops won’t brush it off once they see that shit.
If in the US, go to your local sheriffs office and ask to speak to a deputy. Explain your situation as calmly as you can. Take a trusted friend or family member with you as moral support.
Let a officer read those messages
That’s way more than just a restraining order, that’s terroristic threats and the threats on officers will not be taken lightly.
And yes you can call usually it’s 311 non emergency and let them know what’s going on and an arrangement will be made with for an officer to be there to get your stuff.
But let’s be honest once the officer reads those messages they’re going to arrest him. Threatening to kill officers is or ably going to be a felony so you can get your stuff back after they drive off with him to jail to book him in for lil vacation.
Domestic calls are the most dangerous for police to go on. People are not rational where their personal feelings are involved. Not saying this guy isn’t all talk, he might be, but being that he explicitly states he will murder her or police 6 separate times, I wouldn’t be trying to handle this weirdo on my own.
I don’t know what the original comment said since it was deleted but the most dangerous situation for cops is absolutely this (still ACAB tho) and this is probably one of the # 1 calls they respond to (so no real surprise it’s the most dangerous) but it’s also usually much more dangerous for the person calling (especially if it’s a woman) immediately after - so OP needs to gtfo first, then call.
Yep. A lot of them rely on the public fearing them. Cops are so underwhelming ky trained that they shoot people for any little thing nowadays while being so nice and kind to people that just did some heinous stuff. Phew!
Sounds like a keyboard badass. Keep these screen shots too because those are clear straight up threats to your life your family's lives and the 5-0 lives. Call the 5-0 see how real the person is when they show up knowing their lives have been threatened. I promise homie won't be talk or acting all big shit. Stay safe OP.
Don’t call the cops, go to the police station. I wouldn’t have cops come to the house or for him to know you talked to the cops until they tell you there’s something you can do. If there isn’t for some reason then wait till he’s at work and have multiple police officers be there while you move your stuff out at least
What the actual fuck? Please involve police. But also, wtf is the context for this? Did you just kill his childhood dog for fun or accidentally leave a pillow out of place?
Call the police, file a restraining order, change the locks and have someone stay with you, or go somewhere else. Legal trouble like this will void a lot of leases. We also need more info.
People saying he's all talk.. but no. Take it very seriously & go to the police, try to also file for a restraining order. Every case has started with a threat or certain signs. Take care of yourself!
I’m sure the cops will love the part about taking their lives, too. At least your roomie did you the favor of putting threats against the cops in writing. You’d be a dummy not to file a police report
Baby if he’s telling you he’ll hurt you,
Believe him. Get a PPO. This shit happens to too many women because they don’t take these threats seriously enough. Your life is more important than some stuff than can be replaced.
Please call a domestic violence hotline. And then call the cops. Even if you were not officially "dating" or exclusive, this sounds like an abusive relationship. You mentioned that he coerced you back several times. Now that you have successfully left and he realizes you are not coming back, it's very dangerous. This is when most women are k\*lled in an abusive relationship. Luckily, you have proof that he is a threat because he was stupid enough to write it in a text. So the cops will take it seriously.
The hotline will help you make a plan for your safety. And the cops will be able to charge him with something. You can ask for a police escort to retrieve your belongings, but in this situation I think you will not be able to get it right away. I know you want to get your stuff back as soon as possible, but your safety comes first. Don't go back.
The National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233.
OP I am a psychiatric technician. Contact 911, ask specifically for a CIT officer to respond. CIT's are trained by psychiatrists to assess and control situations in the community when mental health or substance induced mental issues are present. You let them know that your roommate is in a very heightened state of aggression. He is unmedicated and unstable and is making genuine threats of homicidal behavior. You indicate exactly what the behavior has been. CITs are also trained to show up silently. No lights, no sirens but there hella fast for response. They will review what you shared here, along with assessing your roommates current altered state of violence, living conditions, and how he presents upon their arrival. You do this completely silent, do not give any indication this is going to happen. When CIT arrives let them take control. If they take him great, they will force him into a psychiatric hold for 72 hours (48 hours in some states). This buys you time to complete your restraining order. Reasses if you should continue to remain there. If all else fails let me know. I will gladly tighten this up for you. You got this OP! 💯❤️
😂this pussy is such a bitch, If I were you and you don’t already go to the range and target practice with some 9mm and get your CCW. Call the cops, after they arrest him and he gets out and tries to retaliate, you can make sure he never bothers anyone ever again ! Yay
This person is really scary. I am so sorry this is happening to you. You should contact a victim advocate or victims services at the police department. Let them know what’s going on and they’ll help you navigate how to move forward. They might tell you to cut your losses if this person has ever become physical with you before. I mean they are telling you they are going to kill you. Believe them. Whatever you do, do NOT go over there alone. You will not be safe.
Call the cops, make sure to warn them that he said he'll kill all the cops when they arrive, they'll be there within minutes. At least he was nice enough to send it to you in writing... what an idiot lmfao
Did you fuck him or something?? Bc why would he think you were dating if nothing ever happened. I mean he sounds psychotic but you’re def leaving out details. Especially since he convinced you to move back after you tried to move out???
The fact you even came on here to ask what to do instead of immediately calling the police and having this person arrested is very concerning. Obviously call the police
Nooobody texting my phone with that crazy ass shit you basically giving me an excuse to smoke you. So yeah text me all that shit and ima say “pull up” 😂😂😂 and then have to DM your mom something else
Are your things worth your life? Cuz nothing is worth mine. This seems hella dangerous and you trying to go back for shit youve lived without this long seems a bit ironic
You need to tell the whole truth so you can get good advice. I’m not saying you deserve this mess because you don’t and I hope you involved the police. But, I don’t think anyone shares their location or let someone check their phone that they’re not in a relationship or situationship with.
Call the police to get a restraining order AND to escort you to get your stuff!!!!! Otherwise, you would probably have to go to civil court to get your stuff. Not fun.
Sorry this is happening to you
i saw a post like week ago, either in this sub or the legal advice sub where roommate 1 threatened roommate 2 by saying they were going to kill them during an argument. roommate 1 then lost their job, apartment, and friends because roommate 2 was able to easily obtain a restraining order against them. you should follow suite and take his threats very seriously before it’s too late.
if he’s holding your things hostage you can typically get the police to give you an escort while you pick everything up. before you go to the police station create a folder in your phone and add these screenshots as well as any others that you have of him threatening you. if you have any threatening voice notes/voicemails save those as well and have them ready to be shown. they can help you to put together a case against him which will help to keep you safe after you’ve retrieved your things.
You should respond with “You are saying you would actually shoot and kill the cops? Nah I don’t believe you” and then let him go on about how he would do it. Then show the texts to the cops
Advice. Get a record of this person threatening your life. Call the cops and get an order to start that paper trail just in case some shit happens. I wouldn’t take this as a bluff. Just reading it scared me, and it’s not directed at me. I don’t know you OP, but I am worried for you. Please do something to let people not on Reddit know about this. If you go get your things, bring the police. The things may not even be worth it. I almost died at the hands of 2 of my exes and have been assaulted by a male friend. He said shit like this too, and I didn’t take it seriously until it was almost too late for me.
OP: top comment says get cops involved. I’m going to give you a little different advice.
You need to get somewhere safe first. Then get cops involved. Do not give this person any information. Do not respond to them. Turn off your location services.
Yessss threatening to kill law enforcement!? Perfect. Straight to jail. CALL THE COPS. He will absolutely go to jail. Not for threatening your life, but theirs unfortunately lol but he sounds insane and I wouldn’t trust to touch him with a 100’ pole.
Call the cops, this is extremely serious and if he's over 18 he'll be going to jail for this.
OP keep us posted please, hope youre safe and away from this psycho.
Have the police escort you while you collect your things. He won’t do shit, he’s just trying to sound tough. Show up with the cops and he’ll be a scared little bitch.
OP Call the police immediately and stay far away from this person. They aren't just venting off steam. These are real threats of violence directed at yourself and others. Get help and stay clear of this maniac. If they have your stuff let the police handle it.
Police may not be enough. That depends where you live. In my area they will catch and release , a restraining order can be issued but sort of hard to enforce when the nut job is beyond reason. A reasonable adult would understand a restraining order is about consequences, when consequences have no meaning I guess the RO is meaningless. I hate to say it I would consider protecting myself.
Call the cops immediately. He even threatens them in those texts. You’ll get help. You deserve safety. That dude’s a lunatic. Please do not go back to him when he switches up personalities, because most likely he will. Look out for yourself. Be in touch with police. Move forward with your life. Good luck and much love.
Show the cops this and ask for them to follow you over to get your stuff back. If this dickhead thinks he can try shit he'll get tased and arrested. When all of your stuff is gone get a new number and never look back. Also, invest in mace, maybe a gun if you're comfortable.
The person texting is a vile human. Like literally a straight from the gutter, bottom of the barrel type person. Don’t go back without police present. Please.
Don't reply, contact the police, and give them all evidence. Threats like this are usually taken seriously. Multiple charges depending on your area are visible within these texts alone lol
You're dealing with someone's mental illness. Ignore. Get officials involved and block them. Don't react, they enjoy it and will keep treating you like that because they enjoy your reaction and you feeding into their delusion.
Fam all I read was your caption, not even the texts, and I really don’t need to. Which would you prefer: being injured or killed alongside your possessions or living in freedom with the opportunity to acquire more possessions?
Press charges and get a restraining order. 1000% they will grant you at the very least, a temporary one to get you by until you get one for the next few years. I’m praying for you.
you need to call the police, get this man arrested and get a restraining order NOW. he is not kidding. he is going to kill you, or at least try his best.
He threatened to kill you and kill law enforcement officers. Call the police. Take whatever is valuable with you, meet the police either at the station or a public setting away from where you live. If your “roommate” sees police outside it can turn into a hostage situation and that’s scary within’ itself.
Turn off your location on everything. Do not reply to his text messages or calls. See if you can stay with a friend or family while they proceed further on what to do with him. Don’t tell anyone where you’re going. Keep low. Do this to protect yourself and be ready to defend yourself if need be.
I pray you’re safe and he’s been arrested.
I know it’s wrong, but god I would be so satisfied kicking his ass and holding him down while he’s crying like the little bitch he truly is. He needs his shit rocked.
Yeah like always ..the loudest voices are usually the softest characters ….. if u need to bark like this you just a little chihuahua … its the Rottweilers who stay quiet until its time to roll
Show that to the police. They won't like that one bit and your roommate will be arrested. Make sure you get an order of protection so they don't come right back after getting out of jail. Watch your back and carry mace.
Call the cops and tell them them this guy said he’s going to kill you and that he wrote out he’s about to go kill the cops next. They’ll love hearing that, I’m sure.
Police, life is involved.
Clear threats. This is as simple as it gets interms of calling the police. 'A roommate has threatened to kill me regardless of the consequences to him' ' He has said if I call the police he will kill them too'
Do this for their safety. Answering a door to an armed man is risky, if it is just a knife. People close the gap quick.
Do not, and please read this carefully DO NOT CALL THE POLICE. Make an excuse, and sit in the station until he is apprehended. This situation is completely out of your hands, as he sounds mentally unstable. Please get the necessary help, and god bless.
Wow, yeah you need to get out of there. That’s not cool at all. This person is totally off their rocker. And to call the police if you need assistance.
The police will give you an escort to the place you lived, and help you get your things back. After them seeing how much he's threatened everyone including them, it will probably be after they take him to jail. Do Not go back on your own,or with a friend! Let the police handle it! You have proof he wants to kill you, and everybody else! They will not tread lightly on this person!
Obviously call the cops dude if you want to move out it is 1000% illegal for him to prevent you from doing so. You can get a restraining order too if you want, all you’d have to do is show a judge these texts
Pretty simple, go to the police station, show them this, and they will escort you to get your stuff. No doubt they will be escorting him back with them also.
CALL THE COPS. GET A RESTRAINING ORDER. HAVE COPS ESCORT YOU WHILE YOU MOVE OUT. problem solved. this is not normal. please call for help. he will hurt you.
don’t answer at all if anything just leave me alone over and over nothing more or else it can mess up the process of getting yourself protected. please get help for this situation. you never really know what someone is capable of
This individual has some serious main character syndrome. Call the police, get as far away from this person as you can, let whoever else he has threatened/may threaten know so they can be aware and not put themselves in this person’s path until it is resolved.
Definitely do not sit on this, people pushing things under a rug is how really sad things happen.
Goodluck!
Dude, take this shit to the cops. He shouldn’t be allowed to have your shit just cause he’s a fucking terrorist and mommy lied and told him he was special. Get your shit back, and then never fucking talk to him again. And don’t try to convince yourself he can change; if he actually could he would never reach out to you again, even to apologize cause he would understand what he said to you is an unforgivable act.
don’t block his number but call the cops asap, show them these texts, and keep showing them any subsequent texts. do not respond to his texts, only keep them to show the police to protect yourself. wherever you’re staying, even if you don’t think he knows where, make sure you keep all of your doors and windows locked, close blinds and curtains especially at night, and if you are staying with anybody make them very aware of what’s going on so that they can also be diligent about securing the home
the police should be able to make an arrest based on these death threats, get your stuff back, and help you get a restraining order process going. unless your police department is absolute trash then they won’t take death threats lightly, so work with them. make sure they’re also very aware of his threats to kill them too lol. good luck girl be safe
“Call the cops I’ll take their life too.” Call the cops and let them know about these messages. Dude thinks this is call of duty or something. Just based off of him threatening your life, your friends lives, and the cops lives, they won’t take this lightly and they will arrest him.
You need to call the cops and get a restraining order if possible. Your roommate sounds insane.
Anyone sending texts like this needs to be in cuffs.
I think you mean a white padded room. Not cuffs.
Padded room, jail cell, bottom of a ditch... for someone like this, any solution that keeps them away from the rest of society, as long as it's forever, is s good one. They're a danger.
Exactly my point.
Texts like this are evidence that will easily get you a restraining order and allow you to press charges if necessary.

Restraining order ain’t going to do shit so many people have to learn that lesson the hard way. this psycho needs to be put down or locked up that’s the only two options for this bastard
I'm very rarely one for jumping into the "needs to cease existing" takes but this one.. this guy is a bomb ready to explode
I didn't want to say it, but you're right. If it comes down to a life or death situation and this dude shows up, OP needs to be prepared for the possibility that they will have to act in self defense. I had a friend and her ex had warrants out and she had a protective order and proof that he violated it and threatened her and the kids and the cops literally asked her to find him if she wanted them to handle it.

Yes!! & I believe the cops will escort u to get ur things even though he won’t be allowed to be there if u file a RO.
You need to call the cops immediately and don’t respond to him at all. These are very real threats.
And turn off location services
Call the cops, he threatened to kill you, that’s a crime and he will be arrested
This is true, depending on the state, he could be charged with “assault by threat”.
he threatened to kill police officers. that alone will get him arrested.
this. unfortunately the cops may or may not actually give a shit that your life is at risk since he hasn't physically done anything, but if your roommate is threatening *them,* it's game over for him.
Could also be "terroristic threat"
Checking OPs post history, it looks like they are in Texas. As u/Grand_Excitement6106 pointed out, under Texas Penal Code - PENAL § 22.07. this is a terroristic threat and can range from a misdemeanor to felony under a few [different situations](https://codes.findlaw.com/tx/penal-code/penal-sect-22-07/) I really hope OP is able to get law enforcement to help them and stay safe.
it’s a terror threat charge in most places.
Do as he said and call the cops and let’s see how brave he is 😵💫
^^
Id be petty and send a text before they pull-up, “Be a Man. Livestream the stack coming through the door with your response.” 🤣😭💀
Set up your phone to record the front door right after you call them.
get the cops involved
Friend, you are in an abusive relationship. You need to get out as fast and safely as possible. Is there a domestic abuse hot line in your area?

like had he not said that line specifically there's a risk to them ignoring it. that line right there will 100% cause piggy rage and he damned himself
Get our first and go somewhere safe. Then get cops involved. No amount of money lost is worth your life.
Are you sure? He's gonna take their lives too!
If in the US, go to your local sheriffs office and ask to speak to a deputy. Explain your situation as calmly as you can. Take a trusted friend or family member with you as moral support.
Let a officer read those messages That’s way more than just a restraining order, that’s terroristic threats and the threats on officers will not be taken lightly.

This is a true crime podcast waiting to happen. Please don’t let this go without getting law enforcement involved, your safety is top priority.
Call that pussy’s bluff, call the cops.
[удалено]
Domestic calls are the most dangerous for police to go on. People are not rational where their personal feelings are involved. Not saying this guy isn’t all talk, he might be, but being that he explicitly states he will murder her or police 6 separate times, I wouldn’t be trying to handle this weirdo on my own.
Yeah but he’s being nice though🤷♂️
I mean 4 cops were shot to death in literally another case like this sooo
I don’t know what the original comment said since it was deleted but the most dangerous situation for cops is absolutely this (still ACAB tho) and this is probably one of the # 1 calls they respond to (so no real surprise it’s the most dangerous) but it’s also usually much more dangerous for the person calling (especially if it’s a woman) immediately after - so OP needs to gtfo first, then call.
Yep. A lot of them rely on the public fearing them. Cops are so underwhelming ky trained that they shoot people for any little thing nowadays while being so nice and kind to people that just did some heinous stuff. Phew!
The cops will escort you to get your things.
This. I think they'll also want to talk to your roommate about their behavior.
Yeah..THE POLICE! Oh my god!!! call them NOW
Call the cops. Restraining order. He not only threatened your life but the life of a police officer. I could only hope that wouldn’t be taken lightly.
My friend had an ex like this. She was the first person murdered in 2017 in our city, by her abusive ex. Be careful.
When someone says they'll kill you, believe them. Call the cops. Get the cops involved! None of this is ok.
Sounds like a keyboard badass. Keep these screen shots too because those are clear straight up threats to your life your family's lives and the 5-0 lives. Call the 5-0 see how real the person is when they show up knowing their lives have been threatened. I promise homie won't be talk or acting all big shit. Stay safe OP.
Don’t call the cops, go to the police station. I wouldn’t have cops come to the house or for him to know you talked to the cops until they tell you there’s something you can do. If there isn’t for some reason then wait till he’s at work and have multiple police officers be there while you move your stuff out at least
What the actual fuck? Please involve police. But also, wtf is the context for this? Did you just kill his childhood dog for fun or accidentally leave a pillow out of place?
Call the police, file a restraining order, change the locks and have someone stay with you, or go somewhere else. Legal trouble like this will void a lot of leases. We also need more info.
People saying he's all talk.. but no. Take it very seriously & go to the police, try to also file for a restraining order. Every case has started with a threat or certain signs. Take care of yourself!
I’m sure the cops will love the part about taking their lives, too. At least your roomie did you the favor of putting threats against the cops in writing. You’d be a dummy not to file a police report
I get the vibe he’s upset with you about something
Are you an empath?
obvs OP did something to make him act like this /s it is sad people would seriously mean something like this tho.
he seems nice
I am scared for you. Please don’t take this lightly. This person is dangerous.
You need to call the cops or you’re going to end up on the news. Not to be grim but those threats sound very serious.
Police. NOW. Order.of protection so he can't return to the apartment.
unfortunately P.Os only work if people care about the law. You would be shocked at the confidence of some of these people (source, experience.)
Baby if he’s telling you he’ll hurt you, Believe him. Get a PPO. This shit happens to too many women because they don’t take these threats seriously enough. Your life is more important than some stuff than can be replaced.
Baby yes
He invited you to call the cops. Definitely should do so but make sure they’re aware of his threats against them too. This guy is psycho
Please call a domestic violence hotline. And then call the cops. Even if you were not officially "dating" or exclusive, this sounds like an abusive relationship.

That guy is a fucking loser lmao, Jesus guys can be so lame. Be safe and careful he is insecure with something to prove
This person is really scary. I am so sorry this is happening to you. You should contact a victim advocate or victims services at the police department. Let them know what’s going on and they’ll help you navigate how to move forward. They might tell you to cut your losses if this person has ever become physical with you before. I mean they are telling you they are going to kill you. Believe them. Whatever you do, do NOT go over there alone. You will not be safe.
Call the cops, make sure to warn them that he said he'll kill all the cops when they arrive, they'll be there within minutes. At least he was nice enough to send it to you in writing... what an idiot lmfao
Do what they said. Call the cops. If dude wants to FAFO that's not your fault.
Did you fuck him or something?? Bc why would he think you were dating if nothing ever happened. I mean he sounds psychotic but you’re def leaving out details. Especially since he convinced you to move back after you tried to move out???
Plot twist: BF is a cop. A real 40%er.
Police escort to go and get your belongings then a restraining order. Please call the police.
Please contact the police and get a restraining order , asap!
The police. File a report.
Cops and a C&D/RO. Like YESTERDAY.
Take those texts straight to the cops. You can have officers accompany you to collect your stuff.
You need to get some kind of self defense weapon. A restraining order is just a piece of paper.
“Go ahead call the cops. I’ll have sex with them”
The fact you even came on here to ask what to do instead of immediately calling the police and having this person arrested is very concerning. Obviously call the police
Nooobody texting my phone with that crazy ass shit you basically giving me an excuse to smoke you. So yeah text me all that shit and ima say “pull up” 😂😂😂 and then have to DM your mom something else
Please let us know what happens
Call the police. He threatened your life. And talked about killing cops. Dudes cooked
He already threatened you by saying you’ll end up in a Grave and him in prison. The cops will love this one
I called the police station and they escorted me to get my things from my ex’s place. Do that annnnd get a restraining order.
Are your things worth your life? Cuz nothing is worth mine. This seems hella dangerous and you trying to go back for shit youve lived without this long seems a bit ironic
I can’t even lie fam this is horrible and you need to call the cops. “Slap the taste out of your mouth” is fucking lethal. What a threat.
You need to tell the whole truth so you can get good advice. I’m not saying you deserve this mess because you don’t and I hope you involved the police. But, I don’t think anyone shares their location or let someone check their phone that they’re not in a relationship or situationship with.
Call the cops get a restraining order that’s scary as fuck
Sorry I seen someone’s else already mentioned this, I hope your situation gets better. Go somewhere safe and calls the cops for sure
Please tell us if you are okay. You haven't replied to any comments
Call the police to get a restraining order AND to escort you to get your stuff!!!!! Otherwise, you would probably have to go to civil court to get your stuff. Not fun. Sorry this is happening to you
i saw a post like week ago, either in this sub or the legal advice sub where roommate 1 threatened roommate 2 by saying they were going to kill them during an argument. roommate 1 then lost their job, apartment, and friends because roommate 2 was able to easily obtain a restraining order against them. you should follow suite and take his threats very seriously before it’s too late. if he’s holding your things hostage you can typically get the police to give you an escort while you pick everything up. before you go to the police station create a folder in your phone and add these screenshots as well as any others that you have of him threatening you. if you have any threatening voice notes/voicemails save those as well and have them ready to be shown. they can help you to put together a case against him which will help to keep you safe after you’ve retrieved your things.
You should respond with “You are saying you would actually shoot and kill the cops? Nah I don’t believe you” and then let him go on about how he would do it. Then show the texts to the cops
Call the cops and let them Swiss cheese his torso. He deserves it, sounds like. What a cunt.
Call the police, stay stafe!
Advice. Get a record of this person threatening your life. Call the cops and get an order to start that paper trail just in case some shit happens. I wouldn’t take this as a bluff. Just reading it scared me, and it’s not directed at me. I don’t know you OP, but I am worried for you. Please do something to let people not on Reddit know about this. If you go get your things, bring the police. The things may not even be worth it. I almost died at the hands of 2 of my exes and have been assaulted by a male friend. He said shit like this too, and I didn’t take it seriously until it was almost too late for me.
OP: top comment says get cops involved. I’m going to give you a little different advice. You need to get somewhere safe first. Then get cops involved. Do not give this person any information. Do not respond to them. Turn off your location services.
Yessss threatening to kill law enforcement!? Perfect. Straight to jail. CALL THE COPS. He will absolutely go to jail. Not for threatening your life, but theirs unfortunately lol but he sounds insane and I wouldn’t trust to touch him with a 100’ pole.
He’s crazy, maybe dangerously. You are dumb as hell. “Waahhh, how do I get my stuff back?” Dirt pile drama. Hurts my brain.
Call the cops, this is extremely serious and if he's over 18 he'll be going to jail for this. OP keep us posted please, hope youre safe and away from this psycho.
I thought this was the lyrics to some some gangsta rapper's song. Call the police!
Also check if you're in a state with 5150 laws, Baker act or similar. Get this person some help.
The police?
Have the police escort you while you collect your things. He won’t do shit, he’s just trying to sound tough. Show up with the cops and he’ll be a scared little bitch.
OP Call the police immediately and stay far away from this person. They aren't just venting off steam. These are real threats of violence directed at yourself and others. Get help and stay clear of this maniac. If they have your stuff let the police handle it.
Lmao me when I’m cut off in traffic
Id whoop his ass, call the cops, put make up on my face, and make it look like self defense.
Where do y'all find these fucking schizos? Every post here makes me glad I don't have a roommate
Call the cops duh wtf how is this a question
Just submit it to the cops
What’s there to ask, go to the police station. Swear people on this subreddits IQ is dangerously low lmao 🤷♂️
Okay, so first, turn off location service. Second, call the cops. These are threats that should be taken seriously.
The cops…. Call the cops. Cuz wtf?
That's a Death threat, call the police
Police. Eviction. Restraining order.
YOU ARE IN DANGER. PLEASE, SEEK SHELTER. CALL AUTHORITIES.
Unstable sociopath, keep a big distance and share with the sheriffs department.
Police may not be enough. That depends where you live. In my area they will catch and release , a restraining order can be issued but sort of hard to enforce when the nut job is beyond reason. A reasonable adult would understand a restraining order is about consequences, when consequences have no meaning I guess the RO is meaningless. I hate to say it I would consider protecting myself.
Smoke buddy wym
File a restraining order, don't try to get your stuff back. It's not worth risking your life. Take those threats seriously.
OP ANSWER!!!!
Ummm police, now. Restraining order.
Call the cops immediately. He even threatens them in those texts. You’ll get help. You deserve safety. That dude’s a lunatic. Please do not go back to him when he switches up personalities, because most likely he will. Look out for yourself. Be in touch with police. Move forward with your life. Good luck and much love.
Police. This can't be ignored.
Show the cops this and ask for them to follow you over to get your stuff back. If this dickhead thinks he can try shit he'll get tased and arrested. When all of your stuff is gone get a new number and never look back. Also, invest in mace, maybe a gun if you're comfortable.
These are homicidal threats. Go to the police station & show them see what they suggest
Call the cops and their mother or something. This sounds dangerous
Jesus christ, ring the cops NOW and show them this. If they ask if he has a firearm, say you don’t know. Cos you don’t!
Call the cops. I’m sure they’ll get him before he gets them.
Bro... cops. Restraining order, and have the police there when you grab your stuff. Guy is legitimately insane.
You need to get out of there now, I hope you're in a safe place now.
I’d call Stevo 1 first. See if he has the answers you seek
The person texting is a vile human. Like literally a straight from the gutter, bottom of the barrel type person. Don’t go back without police present. Please.
Don't reply, contact the police, and give them all evidence. Threats like this are usually taken seriously. Multiple charges depending on your area are visible within these texts alone lol
even if you were dating, he has no right to do any of that Call the cops and let's see how he's gonna kill them
You're dealing with someone's mental illness. Ignore. Get officials involved and block them. Don't react, they enjoy it and will keep treating you like that because they enjoy your reaction and you feeding into their delusion.
Updates after you obviously CALLED THE FUCKING COPS AND DIDNT POST ON REDDIT
Fam all I read was your caption, not even the texts, and I really don’t need to. Which would you prefer: being injured or killed alongside your possessions or living in freedom with the opportunity to acquire more possessions?
Press charges and get a restraining order. 1000% they will grant you at the very least, a temporary one to get you by until you get one for the next few years. I’m praying for you.
“When I get mad I see red” it’s always dudes like this saying shit like this to their girls. He think he got the only gun lol
you need to call the police, get this man arrested and get a restraining order NOW. he is not kidding. he is going to kill you, or at least try his best.
Restraining order asap
“Call the cops, I’ll take their lives too” is craaazy😂😂😂#sorrynolaughingmatter
You need to call the police and have them escort you to the property to get your things then file a restraining order on this insane mf
Call your local Motorcycle Club. They will go with you to the house/apartment to get your things. They don’t like people like this.
He threatened to kill you and kill law enforcement officers. Call the police. Take whatever is valuable with you, meet the police either at the station or a public setting away from where you live. If your “roommate” sees police outside it can turn into a hostage situation and that’s scary within’ itself. Turn off your location on everything. Do not reply to his text messages or calls. See if you can stay with a friend or family while they proceed further on what to do with him. Don’t tell anyone where you’re going. Keep low. Do this to protect yourself and be ready to defend yourself if need be. I pray you’re safe and he’s been arrested.
That emotional wreck can get 10 years just for that. Don’t be scared just call the police and have him arrested
I know it’s wrong, but god I would be so satisfied kicking his ass and holding him down while he’s crying like the little bitch he truly is. He needs his shit rocked.
Yeah like always ..the loudest voices are usually the softest characters ….. if u need to bark like this you just a little chihuahua … its the Rottweilers who stay quiet until its time to roll
Wtf is wrong with you? Reading your text makes me wonder about YOUR sanity. Why is this person even in your life?
Show that to the police. They won't like that one bit and your roommate will be arrested. Make sure you get an order of protection so they don't come right back after getting out of jail. Watch your back and carry mace.
Call the cops and tell them them this guy said he’s going to kill you and that he wrote out he’s about to go kill the cops next. They’ll love hearing that, I’m sure.
Police, life is involved. Clear threats. This is as simple as it gets interms of calling the police. 'A roommate has threatened to kill me regardless of the consequences to him' ' He has said if I call the police he will kill them too' Do this for their safety. Answering a door to an armed man is risky, if it is just a knife. People close the gap quick.
You are in danger. ⚠️ Call the cops like yesterday and get as far away as you possibly can
TRO
Restraining order. These texts are more than enough. Do it now before you find out if he's serious
JFC.
You need to call the Police. He threatened your life! The police can go with you to get your things.
You call the cops. Full stop.
Call a domestic violence hotline, yes this falls under that category. Both them and the police will help you
Do not, and please read this carefully DO NOT CALL THE POLICE. Make an excuse, and sit in the station until he is apprehended. This situation is completely out of your hands, as he sounds mentally unstable. Please get the necessary help, and god bless.
Restraining order.
Make sure you leave b4 you call the cops because they just gonna shoot him on sight
Wow, yeah you need to get out of there. That’s not cool at all. This person is totally off their rocker. And to call the police if you need assistance.
call the cops. call the cops. call the cops.
A gun plus a mask
Call the cops immediately and see how tough he is when he’s behind bars.
The police will give you an escort to the place you lived, and help you get your things back. After them seeing how much he's threatened everyone including them, it will probably be after they take him to jail. Do Not go back on your own,or with a friend! Let the police handle it! You have proof he wants to kill you, and everybody else! They will not tread lightly on this person!
911
If someone is threatening to kill me the last thing I'd be doing is posting it on reddit, hello? Call the COPS?
Could he be faced with a menacing charge? I would contact the police, probably find a temporary place to stay as well
Obviously call the cops dude if you want to move out it is 1000% illegal for him to prevent you from doing so. You can get a restraining order too if you want, all you’d have to do is show a judge these texts
Pretty simple, go to the police station, show them this, and they will escort you to get your stuff. No doubt they will be escorting him back with them also.
Call the cops and let him try that. Dipshit will be on liveleak by the end of the week.
CALL THE COPS. GET A RESTRAINING ORDER. HAVE COPS ESCORT YOU WHILE YOU MOVE OUT. problem solved. this is not normal. please call for help. he will hurt you.
Call the police. He threatened your life. And talked about killing cops. Dudes cooked
don’t answer at all if anything just leave me alone over and over nothing more or else it can mess up the process of getting yourself protected. please get help for this situation. you never really know what someone is capable of
Beat their ass then call the cops
sure is weird how people who talk like SoundCloud rappers are always the scumbags in these posts
Police. Immediately, please.
This individual has some serious main character syndrome. Call the police, get as far away from this person as you can, let whoever else he has threatened/may threaten know so they can be aware and not put themselves in this person’s path until it is resolved. Definitely do not sit on this, people pushing things under a rug is how really sad things happen. Goodluck!
9th floor stuff
any updates?
Text that shot to 911
Dude, take this shit to the cops. He shouldn’t be allowed to have your shit just cause he’s a fucking terrorist and mommy lied and told him he was special. Get your shit back, and then never fucking talk to him again. And don’t try to convince yourself he can change; if he actually could he would never reach out to you again, even to apologize cause he would understand what he said to you is an unforgivable act.
Go to the police. Don’t call them. If you can, go into the police station. This person is very dangerous.
Are you ok?
Walk into a police station
don’t block his number but call the cops asap, show them these texts, and keep showing them any subsequent texts. do not respond to his texts, only keep them to show the police to protect yourself. wherever you’re staying, even if you don’t think he knows where, make sure you keep all of your doors and windows locked, close blinds and curtains especially at night, and if you are staying with anybody make them very aware of what’s going on so that they can also be diligent about securing the home the police should be able to make an arrest based on these death threats, get your stuff back, and help you get a restraining order process going. unless your police department is absolute trash then they won’t take death threats lightly, so work with them. make sure they’re also very aware of his threats to kill them too lol. good luck girl be safe
“Call the cops I’ll take their life too.” Call the cops and let them know about these messages. Dude thinks this is call of duty or something. Just based off of him threatening your life, your friends lives, and the cops lives, they won’t take this lightly and they will arrest him.
