Yep, most of us has had a neighbor from haitas. Be safe and don't be there by yourself in case things go South.
Once had a neighbor like that. She did things like stick her face to my screen window and yell at me and then accuse my cat of crapping in her pool. We all know cats don't go near pools, especially above ground pools. Then had the audacity to ask me once to barrow the radiator cap from my car for her drivers ed class. The list goes on. Stay cool and safe. Better times down the road for your kids and you. Sarge

Moved out in the country almost 2 years ago, closest neighbor is 1/4 mile away. Best thing I ever did. Had several rental duplex apt. houses around us full of young white trash druggies. Always picking up cig. butts and big gulp cups, loud arguments, profanity ,loud cars, barking dogs, etc. Cops did very little when called. Hit my breaking point on 4th of july weekend and announced to the wife "we are moving !". Lived there 18 years and house had been paid for the last 6 years. Didn't care how much it cost I had to go. Now I'm more relaxed, calmer, less irritable; couldn't be happier. Wish I had done it sooner, always told myself it would get better; it never did. With the money from selling the old house and old fashion hard work (lots of overtime) we just paid off the new place this month, which felt good to only go back into payments for a few years. Go for it, it's a scary processes but well worth it.

I would think it's fair to say we have all had that one neighbor. Sorry you had to deal with that and glad to see you posting on T-man instead of from inside a jail cell or interrogation room.

Huh!?!?
It’s his property, let him be upset. Not that I would be upset.
SGT C was about to shoot a couple guys last week for pulling into his 600 foot long driveway.
Adam was carrying a gun because he himself didn’t trust the guy he invited over to his property. And here you have this neighbor who never asked anyone to trespass or come on his lawn and he’s the whacko?
Give your heads a shake!

That is an interesting SPIN on the situation... that's for sure. Can't say I agree with your perception but then again none of us on here besides Adam were there in person.

Come on JP. Fine line in being ready vs being assaulted or killed. When someone has a pipe in hand and his tone is directed at you. Better take it seriously or pay for being stupid. Wasn't about to shoot someone for pulling into my driveway. No Sir, they were park , i repeat. PARKED! outside the normal boundaries for making a turn around. I live in the country to avoid just the crap that this post is about.. I will protect my family and property as needed. Besides, what would you have thought pulling into your own 230 yard long driveway as you call it at 7am in the morning knowing your wife is home alone. I stand by my action, and so does the law here in South Carolina. Sarge

SGT. C I’m with you on protecting your family on your own property from trespassers. Sometimes when I pull into my driveway I wonder if I’ll find someone up to no good on my yard. That’s fine.
But I’m sticking with the neighbor with the pipe on this one. From what I read above the neighbor did nothing wrong. He has every right to be upset with someone driving onto his property whether it’s well kept or not. It’s his property and if he wants to wave a chunk of metal to scare off the trespassers then so be it. Him standing at his garage with the rebar in his hand is like someone posting a beware of dog sign. Or like the guy at the self checkout at Walmart with a pistol on his hip.

JP, I'm open minded to everyone's way of thinking. But to disregard someone standing with a pipe or bat or anything besides what God gave you. I refuse to be a fool and think all is well. It's ok for the neighbor to be upset about someone on his property, but not in an intimidating way. There are many ways to handle situations. Nothing wrong in being prepared for the worst but hope for the best.

The demented evil folks walk among us everyday.....you never know when things will just go hog wild since they do not call ahead to make an appointment. When that happens most folks get beat because their first thought/reaction is 'I can't believe this is happening'....then it is over. You need to be prepared to go from 0 to light speed in an instant. That's what people like moms demand action just will never understand....the world can be a dangerous and unforgiving place if your not prepared to defend, without hesitation, the life that God gave you.

x2 Marty. Once went to an old girlfriends parents place(she worked there) to congratulate her on her pregnancy Stopped by her fathers shop. Out comes two dudes I've never seen. They were immediately were on the offense. " what do you want" I asked is Cheryl around. He said no, she is not allowed to speak to anyone. You better leave now. During this time I happened to notice the crescent wrench he was halfway holding behind his back. I apologized for the intrusion. I went down the road and called her father and asked what the heck is wrong with that SOB. I also let Carl know his son in law was lucky that day for not advancing as my model S&W 19 was tucked in my door. Carl said without hesitating. Should of shot him. A few years later, this same SOB molested his daughter. Now with my job, I encounter hostile people often. And yes I have seen my share of people on meth and they will hurt you with without hesitation. And yes, I stay on edge and treat everyone that way until they prove otherwise. Sarge

It's stories like this one that affirm my decision to never live in a city or any other crowed place. As a result, I've always lived places where I could whizz off the porch or deck in complete privacy, shoot randomly whenever I felt like it (or the need arose) and have neighbors far enough away that they didn't bother me with whatever they were up to. You need to find a place like that Adam. I hope it works out for you.

I guess you can say I didn't trust the guy buying the truck as I never met him. Until I know someone and actually trust them I'm always prepared to defend. This city has taught me be prepared for crazy people. I still treat everyone with respect and am friendly but my guard isn't down either
With the history of this neighbor if I'm going to be outside for more than a few I carry. For him to come out armed with a rebar and running his mouth put me in condition red. Heck most would be in condition red too.
The driver didn't drive on his property if he did it was maybe an inch or 2 but he came out armed yelling before the driver even left the street to backup into my yard. Just looked he didn't even drive on his property.
Well said Sharon.
I'm with Sgt C people parked in your driveway is sketchy.
Jurassic park I disagree it's far from a beware of dog sign. I see the rebar as a deadly weapon that is being brandished added to that he's running his mouth.

If I was able, I would carry 24/7. Carrying for protection is a passive means of self defense, just like being situationally aware... you're not going to do something unless somebody else gets stupid.
I would absolutely assume that somebody standing within 50 feet of me, waving a melee weapon to be a potential threat to my health and safety and would react accordingly if he made a wrong move.
Wasn't too long ago that a man here in Ontario was kidnapped and shot by 2 douchebags after he listed his truck for sale on Kijiji...
Just happy to be here.

That's awesome Tom.
I like that saying Sharon.
Police came earlier I did my report. Officer went over to his house, he refused to answer the door. Officer said if he stepped forward I would've been justified in using force.

The complete quote is
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. Robert A. Heinlein
I agree Heinlein is a great author I have I believe every book he wrote
�Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.� ― Robert A. Heinlein

X2 I have had nothing with problems with him for 8 long years (several police report too). I could be in my brick walled backyard watering and he starts up. Neither I or my kids couldn't be paid to go on his property. Lol. He's standing there armed running his mouth threatening me. I get along great with all of my neighbors except him. Heck he flips out at city workers, delivery people, water authority stepping on his property, people parking ON THE STREET in front of his house etc...

You need to learn to be more friendly with your neighbors. I smile and wave at my neighbors in the daylight., not so much at night....... First moved in 8 years ago (renting) we were friendly with him just like all our neighbors. Few months later I'm unloading firewood he flips out saying I better not destroy the wall or backyard shares. I wouldn't think about it and IF a wood made a hole i would fix it because I take care of my stuff. Few months later we noticed He becomes more distant stops waving. Could it be that we became good friends with the deputy that lived 1 house south of me 2 houses south of him? Possibly, he HATES police. He flips out at anyone for nonissue things. Once he found we bought the house he really started with anger towards us. He calls the city for anything, our weeds (xerocaped yard = no weeds) he calls the city on our dog (hardly barks, if she does it's 1 minute at the most). He's told a neighbor down the way he's going to kill me. There's been several police reports made against him. He'll spend minutes on end staring at me at a time and everytime he sees me. Funny thing is I get along great with his friend.

If you believe escalating a situation that is already volatile is in your best interest then by all means do so. It makes for an interesting Trapperman topic.
The End..

It doesn't have much to do with city or country living, we've had great neighbors and terrible neighbors both in tight subdivisions and out in the country. In fact three of the worst we've had were "country" folk. One couple we lived near about 8 years ago would fight and scream and curse almost daily in their front yard, with little kids at the time my wife asked them to tone it down for the kids sake to which they told her to go !%#% herself, he was hauled off by the Sheriff multiple times (including one time when I watched armed SWAT walking down the street in front of our house on their way to get him (we lived in an area with 5-20 acre small ranch settings). About 15 years ago we had a few acres way way out in the country, the farmer down the road would routinely drive around and flip off all the neighbors as he drove by for no apparent reason (and not in a joking/friendly manner). Our current property is semi-rural in an area with 5-10 acre timbered lots. On two sides we have great neighbors. On the other we had an alcoholic living in an RV who would rant about anything and everything despite our efforts to try to be kind, he seemed to want to control everyone around him and was clearly mad at the whole world. I had to get in his face pretty forcefully to get him out of our business and finally we had to pursue a complaint with the county which ended up kicking him out due to a pile of code violations. People are people, some want to play nice with others and some just want to be jerks... doesn't matter where you live. Be kind, be graceful when people have a bad day, but stand up for yourself when needed, most jerks continue to be jerks because they think they can get away with it. Unfortunately it's hard to know personalities until you live in a spot for a few months, or it'd be nice just to avoid them from the start.

BigBob, maybe he is. IMO pedophiles should get at the very least get 50 years w/o possibility of early release.
Gray dog, there is ZERO reasoning with him. In the past both PD and sheriff's have said there's no reasoning or talking with the guy. I ignored him after a couple of minutes but I sure was not about to give him the idea I'm scared of him and his little rebar. PETA phile not peda, an anti hunting/trapping libtard snowflake.
