I got woken up at around three-in-the-morning by three of my roommates arguing. Apparently the new guy that moved in this past Thursday is a member of the Northern California Chapter of Hell's Angels. He threatened to have his buddies swarm this place just because one of my roommates was too noisy.
Imagine hearing that at three-in-the-morning when you have both a tendency for nightmares and a tendency to panic when people start yelling and making death threats. Needless to say I'm scared shitless and I was unable to go back to sleep.
hes proably just bitching around
I heard from the other roommates involved that he took off moments after making the threats this morning. Threats of any kind are also grounds for termination from this program and eviction from this property, seeing as this assisted living facility is supposed to be a safe environment.
Quiet voice, threaten to frame them with a criminal record. 
. I'm surprised more people don't exploit such threats with the intellect to back it up.
I do not make threats. I make promises and I follow through with them to the best of my ability.
Not in that kind of situation. More on the lines of you wonder why the older students who get viciously bullied in high-school don't take steps otherwise (edit: where applicable. I'm fully aware of the circumstances that can lead to bullying). Intellect is rarely ever used as a threat, but when it is it leaves a much longer lasting impression then sticks and stones.
My intellectual capabilities are better used for avoiding violent and dangerous situations to begin with, and to a lesser extent diplomacy. There are reasons why it is actually safe for me to go outside at night in the ghetto where I live while it is not safe for the people I know who have military training to even consider such a thing.

With intellect also comes better understandings; both in the actions of you and others. I don't want to get too preachy, but it can cause more damage than a simple punch could ever do.
This holds true in many situations for me despite the problems I deal with thanks to Asperger's Syndrome that make dealing with people more difficult than dealing with them should be.
Yeah, but you're on about getting the law involved.
In AMERICA!
Get the law involved in America, and you have fucked up the victim's life. Even more so if it involves drugs.
This is very true. I don't mean to offend anyone but the laws of the United States of America are why I don't plan on dating anyone in the foreseeable future, and are also why I don't plan on going to nightclubs or parties. There are too many things you have to consider with the law to even approach a female my age for conversation from what I understand.
That's the idea . Honestly, though, dei with intellect alone is far from defenseless against muscles.
This is quite true in many situations. However like I have said I prefer to avoid violent and dangerous situations entirely and prevent them before they even have a chance to transpire. It's usually very effective.
