Resident Evil Veronica Fan Throws Fit Over Realistic Raccoon Traps in Her Neighborhood, Calls Police Saying It’s 'Too Accurate' and 'Downright Unsettling'
Look, I’m all for protecting our trash cans, but this is just common sense gone out the window. I live two blocks over from Karen, the lady who called the cops because someone set up a “realistic” raccoon trap that apparently looks like something out of that old survival horror game. She claims the wire mesh and the metal jaw gave her “resident evil veronica” vibes—yes, she actually said that—and she spent an hour screaming on Facebook that it was a “biohazardous art installation.” Meanwhile, the raccoons are literally eating through our recycling bins every Tuesday. Common sense says: if you can’t tell the difference between a video game prop and a pest control device, maybe take a walk outside. The police had a good laugh, but now our HOA is threatening to ban all traps because of “visual distress.” Unreal. My neighbor’s kid even said it looked cooler than the actual game. Get a grip, Karen.
