threatening children
Far from receiving support or being taken as a joke by his followers, he received a wave of harsh criticism in the comments, for which he was forced to edit the publication, explaining that the post referred to a girl who was looking for her lost cat and who threatened to pull her hair by knocking on her door.
“Friends, it’s a bad idea to let your kids go around ringing doorbells in 2023…if my doorbell rings again tomorrow I might pull someone’s hair ha ha ha I’m just playing. But it’s really a bad idea for kids wandering around ringing doorbells. It’s not 1972. If that brat rings my doorbell again, I’ll call the police.”.
But, far from reflecting on his conduct, he insists: “I feel bad because I warned him that I could pull his hair if they knocked on my door again. She started to cry…learning opportunity. He found a grumpy old man…please teach your children to stay away from doorbells”.
harshly criticized
After being repudiated in the comments, Robbins deleted his controversial postsbut they reached other social networks such as Twitterwhere he received the same harsh treatment: “I followed him for years because he had very detailed forecasts. Sadly, I think she’s missing it”, “is what a doorbell is for. If you don’t want anyone to touch it, then remove it”, “how is it normal to threaten someone who rings your doorbell?”
