Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, I'm indoors, so I think I'm safe for the moment. Hopefully it'll stop so I won't be trapped here.
My theory is that it's crystalized dihydrogen oxide.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oh good christ.
Just heard a shitload of machine gun fire just outside my building.
Turns out, they are shooting "24" over there and there are going to be lots and lots and lots of grenades, automatic gun fire, flame throwers, etc.

OK, they need to tell you about that beforehand....
The army reserves do training skulks in the ravine behind my building. We get periodic notices not to worry about the people in camo and black with m-16s and whatnot running around. I think the front desk (911 calls get routed through there) got sick of calming people down.

Are they gonna, like, repave neighborhood roads, or something, to pay the poor neighbors for enduring warfare on the sidewalk? Because, if not, I'd be standing out in my front yard with a shit-eating grin, a bullhorn, and something visually garish (maybe a Green Party protest?), to make them sorry they ever thought my block would be a good idea.

Yeah, that's something people should be warned about. Good thing they don't do that sort of stuff around here, there'd be citizens breaking out their own armories and shooting back.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

C'mon, it's 24. Crack out a projection screen and high volume stereo system with Pretty Woman and Erin Brockovich playing during their shooting hours.

I probably could have if I had known about it beforehand. Now, I'll have to throw my whole chair.
