The Perfect Neighbor
I don’t think I’ve ever cried this hard watching something. Like legitimately cried to the point that it gave me a headache. How can you not when you’re seeing a little boy screaming that someone shot his mother? When he says he’s not hurt but his heart is broken. These kids clinging onto the hope that their mother will pull through just for her to not. And I knew she wasn’t going to but I still sobbed so hard when they said as much while breaking this news to the father of her children who becomes inconsolable.
I still can’t make sense of the fact that this happened. And I had never heard of this up until this point. The amount of anger to see this lady repeatedly lie and victimize herself while she harassed, antagonized, and threatened this entire community. And yeah, I’m glad shes gonna rot in prison but that’s not going to bring Ajike Owens back. Four beautiful children will never see their mother again and I know it eats her oldest sons alive feeling like it was their fault she’s gone. I can only hope those babies get the love and guidance they need and can somehow reconcile with that sort of loss and know it’s not their fault.

And this is another reason why police body cameras are so important. What a moving film. But ijs if that woman was any POC at the end they would not have given her so much time to get her ass up out of that chair smh

that woman was not a perfect neighbor, she was a neighbor from hell who was racist and hated children. makes no sense why she'd move into a neighborhood predominantly black full of people with children...she is a despicable human being

My heart breaks for those kids. Like the pastor said towards the end that the mom was standing up for her kids, I hope those kids know it’s not their fault and that she was fighting for them and that the are able to grow up and see just how much she loves them.
Literally such a heartbreaking story.

“Are you hurt?”
“No… but my heart is broken”
SOBBING.
This is such a tragedy. Such a heart breaking story. Those kids will always grow up without their mom, who was just trying to protect them. Her jail time will never be enough.

such a sad story, my heart breaks for her kids. rest in peace Ajike. 🤍
that woman deserves to rot in jail. her actions throughout this entire documentary make me sick. letting racism and hatred blind her to the point of murder. and don’t get me started on trying to play the victim over kids playing outside…

Very sad. Susan almost had me at the beginning. Sometimes kids are annoying af and will absolutely taunt people, especially if they are being a Karen. My thoughts quickly changed after the shooting. She was most definitely angry, not fearful. Glad she’s gonna die in prison.

7.5 - Do more like this, Netflix.
Short & real. No questioning. No both sides-ing. Not over sensationalized & overproduced, but real, human, & crushing.
The slow & steady way this unfolds, without ever wavering on who is in the wrong here was incredibly done. You see it coming, but when it happens it still hits like a ton of bricks.
I remember just a little about this happening in real time, but the rate our news cycle moves now, it’s sad how quickly it was forgotten or not even covered. Stand your ground laws are dangerous & come with all kinds of racial inequities that lead to too many horrible stories like this one.
RIP AJ Owens.

Loved the way this story was told solely through actual footage. So heartbreaking but I’m glad there was some justice for the family.

I liked how it was a completely unbiased documentary. Hard watch. Don't watch if you are having a tough day. It will make it so much worse.

This is such a sad and tough watch. It’s hard to believe there’s people out there like this. I went into this blind, not knowing anything and I think that’s the way you really should do this.

I’m absolutely destroyed after this. Put this on just to have background noise while I studied and ended up crying my eyes out the rest of the night.
“Are you hurt?” “No but my heart is broken” 😭 wow
I hope the children find peace somehow & justice is being served to that women while she’s locked up
(I don’t feel like this should have been so exposing and these children need these body cam videos to be only for their eyes. felt like I was invading)
