@NATHANIALWALKER my partner and I used to live in this apartment not long ago at all, we’ve run into you many times Ian hope you and your family are okay. Also hoping the apartment people do something for you especially with the biohazard all over your unit now and the whole situation in general

HELLO YOUNG MAN.. THANK YOU FOR RECORDING THIS.. YET, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN A DIFFERENT APPROACH WITH THE SITUATION, MEANING, I WOULD HAVE STARTED COOKING SO HE WOULD SMELL THE FOOD OKAY.. SECOND, I WOULD HAVE ALREADY HAD MY DOOR UNLOCKED FOR ENTRY WHEN THEY FOUND OUT WHAT APARTMENT HE WENT INTO FROM THE BALCONY.. THIRD, I WOULD HAVE OFFERED HIM SOMETHING TO EAT BEFORE HE WAS GOING TO DO WHATEVER HE WAS GOING TO DO AND HELPED HIM CHANGE HIS MIND ON TAKING HIS LIFE.. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT OF THIS BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION AND THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THINKING IF THE PERSON IS DANGEROUS TO THEMSELVES THEY MAY GET HURT TOO.. A LOT OF THE TIMES PEOPLE SEE ATTENTION ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH MENTAL ISSUES OR WHATEVER ISSUES THEY MAY BE GOING THROUGH OR HAD GONE THROUGH BUT ONE LISTENING EAR WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE, JUST ONE LISTENING EAR 👂🏽..

No, I don't think you would have. I was there, outside the building doing a delivery. I can see opening the screen doors and apartment door and leaving but when a very heavily bloodied man climbs onto your balcony looking that unstable, your not gonna sit and cook for them. He had blood all over his clothes but couldn't see any wounds ya know.
