Writing

A few months ago, I finally began writing about my experiences with this predator. Today I worked on the most disturbing part - his accusation that my husband and I are racists. We are not and never have been, but he knew that by accusing us of that it would undermine anything we tried to do to stop him from harassing us. The cops appeared to happily believe him and easily dismissed our complaints. We are white, he was Hispanic. They apparently preferred to believe him, rather than believe he could be pulling the race card. It made our lives all that much more difficult.

It was all lies and thank god the police believed me cuz when she spoke they quickly realized how crazy she was. These people drain us,and I've had to learn not to succome but to overcome.keep writing,I've givin u my e-mail before but plz don't publish.I'd like to share my story cuz ours r so much alike.

I can certainly understand the hell you are going through,I am currently in a similar situation. My nieghbor is also hispanic,and also a Tae Kwon Do instructor ,i have had police come to my house too many times to count,this monster threatens my kids,telling his kids to kicks my kids in the throat,and when i call the police he lies and says he is giving his son pointers for an upcoming match,(i'm positive this is considered an illegal actaion in a tournament,and am considering reporting him to the association)he is nothing short of a deranged sociapath! i have documented heavily the hell this man has caused myself and my children since moving below me over the summer! my landlords are trying to evict him(i'm not sure how long that will take) and same as you,he plays the race card and tells the police i call his kids racial slurs..which i have never!!The police are finally starting to take tese incidents more serious,been a long road from hell .. not sure how long i can hold out waiting for him to be thrown out...every day of my life has become 2 inches from packing up my kids and getting us a hotel room until i find a new place...really horrible to live like this...

I would think that accusation of child molestation would be million times worse than racism.

Hello and Good Afternoon~

I am so sorry to read your story and I am can relate as I have been the target of neighborhood bullying for over 9 years. It will bring you much peace to write about this horror of a tale and get the word out...there are others that are suffering as well...the madness needs to end. I too am working on a book concerning the horrors of what I have survived: "The Haunting of Hunting Ridge Maryland" ....I send you much peace.
Regards!

I called the cops on my neighbor for loudness in slamming doors, vulgarity and then was maliciously accused of $#%& and went to jail without any rights, and phone calls were not allowed until the next day. I fear my life and do not feel safe in my own home, violated and now the landscaping is being stepped on. I have to ask a nice neighbor to walk me to my car and I call them when I am coming home. I am shaken by this whole matter and am very unhappy!

Yeah, the race card. I am a very easy pick for soziopath. Called all the time a racist, Nazi ect.ect. (my father was an officer in the polish armee and brought to Germany as a war-prisoner!!)The racist card(I might you it is the first thing idiots jump on) but you dont have to defend yourself sayoing you are not one. Just say you colourblind and thank this idiots to pointing out to you that they have an another colour than you. Or ask them if the blood in their veines is any different to yours. Make them look like the idiots they are. And never give in. For evil to prevail, its enough for good people to shut up!

I had a horrible experience with a hispanic neighbor who moved next door to me several years ago. This guy thought nothing of putting together a make shift recording studio in his garage. Almost every evening well into late night he'd have jam sessions with about 7 other guys. The "music" was that horrible, bass heavy latin circus "music". My home is only about 20 feet from his, so the noise level was beyond belief. The bass was so severe that I thought it was going to break our windows. I tried speaking with my neighbor about the noise and all he'd do is pretend that he didn't speak english. I know he spoke english because I overheard him on his cellphone referring to his neighbor (me) as that f-ing b-h next door. All of my other neighbors were silently complaining about this guy as well. One night at around 12:30 AM his bad was sooo loud the heater register in my master bedroom was vibrating to the beat of his bass. I called the police. The "music" stopped after about 20 minutes. At 3:00 AM my husband and I were awakened to the sound of a loud crash on the side of our house. My husband got up and went down stairs, grabbed a flashlight and went out in the backyard. On the side of our house was a pile of discarded building material. Old drywall, wood scraps, cinderblocks and nail. This was all dumped in our yard on behalf of our hellish neighbor. My husband called the police right away. The police came, inspected the debris and asked if we knew who may have done this. We suggested our next door neighbor from hell. Of course the guy denied any part of it when questioned by the police. Things kept getting worse and worse. After my neighbor from hell getting several noise violations form the police from other neighbors complaining, this guy thinks we're the one's out to get him. It eventually led to this guy stalking me. I'd be in my backyard gardening and he'd just leer at me over the fence. I felt victimized. He was even making snide remarks to himself regarding my husband's car which is a Toyota Prius, and my neighbor from hell saying, "faggots car, only faggots drive those pieces of s---." He began calling my husband a "faggot" and a "communist." My husband who is generally very even tempered blew up at our neighbor from hell. Our neighbor from hell threatened to kill my husband with his shot gun. Thank God I came outside when I heard the screaming and yelling. I had my cell with me and I hit record. I documented our hellish neighbor, gun in hand, and hit 911. The police came, our neighbor lied to the police, but I had the evidence in hand. The police say the footage on my cell phone and we pressed charges. Our hell bound neighbor was arrested for attempted assault with a loaded gun. The house was eventually put on the market, he's gone and now the neighborhood is blissful once again.

We have been harrassed by a hispanic "neighbor" for 8 long years. Swears, yells, files false police reports, threatens neighbors, had called all of us racists, he is very paranoid, probably in and out of treatment and off and on meds. It's made us all sick of him. He accuses everyone of what he does to them. bizarre, he also has no friends and argues with everyone including contractors and mail people etc. he basically hates everyone, but has targeted certain people closer to his house more, like us, he has also filed PPO's on us and has tons of cameras on his house trying to provoke people over to his property so he can catch them on camera and edit himself out of the films so AGAIN he can be the poor racially disriminated against VICTIM. He has no job and has nothing else to do. my advice, stay strong, get lots of neighbors and the police on your side and have a good lawyer on standby get them all involved, keep track, remember police reports are inadmissable evidence in court, it's heresay one word against another. very frustrating situation. LOOK carefully at the bully's home with binoculars, if there are cameras do not respond to his antogonizing behavior, or he will film you and take you to court for harrassing HIM. The police keep telling us to get cameras, we may have to. What a pain. Judges hate issuing PPO's on neighbors, we tried to file one on him several years ago, on the police's advice. The courts do very little to help, and unless the joker comes on your property he can yell and scream and pace in front of your house all day long, with no consequence. Great country we live in , huh? people who have never had a relentless bully of a neighbor will never fully understand how it messes you up emotionally, makes you paranoid, worried for your children and property etc. there should be tougher laws.

Must be nice to be an illegal alien: free healthcare, free food, free phones, free pass to harass/intimidate/make lives of REAL Americans a living hell...

It upsets me when I read all the negative stories.
I wrote an article about dealing with bad neighbours so in case you were curious, you can read it here.
The most important thing is to keep the evidence. Record anything you can in case you will report it to the police or discuss future steps with the lawyer.
I know that intelligent behaviour or police don't always help.
Just don't give up and don't let other people destroy your happiness!
Good luck!

I have been menaced by neighbors from hell for 16 months since I moved in to my rental home in CA. The first few weeks I lived here, a young man who's mentally ill stood across the street swinging a baseball bat threateningly. After that, he began making weird sounds at me. He plays loud music towards my front door. He comes across the street and against me with hateful looks. Then a second guy moved in. He sits in his car day and night blasting music. Neither has a job, just sit out front staring over here. They wear their pants around their thighs so their underwear shows. In July, one guy threw a girl out, and she cussed loudly for an hour, breaking things on their property. Five neighbors called the cops, but I got the blame. They off fireworks by my car: the 2 guys, the woman who seems like their caretaker, and her son. She yelled, "Somebody called the police!" The guy who sits in his car parks right in front of my weakway, staring at me. Now they've begun trespassing on my property and leaving trash. One day I left my back door unlocked and drove away. The 2 guys were sitting in a car across the street. Driving right back, I saw only one guy was there. Lifting his phone, he yelled, "Get out!" Into it. In my house, my back door was open. I heard someone jump the fence outside. The other guy reappeared out front. He was in my house! I emailed a police officer I spoke to about them before. He said I have to call 911 every single time. This past Wed night, they sent their uncle to ring my bell and ask for money. When I declined, he went over there and loudly repeated what I had said, then started yelling and cursing about the "rich woman who owns her house but won't help people." I called 911, and the cops sent a car, but he was long gone. The same uncle harassed me last Christmas. A few days ago, on Halloween, they were sitting in the dark when I came home, and the woman evilly laughed evilly and yelled at me, "Come on over HERE." A friend helped me put chicken wire on top of my fence line and a lock on my back gate. Tomorrow, I'm spending $500 I can't afford on a security system. I'm a poor old lady on a fixed income. I haven't listed all the terrorizing things they've done, but I've kept a journal. My landlord won't do anything. A few weeks ago I found out the first guy's name and googled him. Shortly before I moved in, he was arrested for threateningly waving around a baseball bat. Clearly getting arrested didn't stop him. I'm terrified. They are relentless. I never did a thing to them. Hopefully the security system will discourage them until I can move. I never imagined that I would be the victim of neighbors from hell.

The security system has antagonized them. The two 20-something guys make "moo" and "whoop" noises when I come and go. One evening this past week, the woman bragged loudly to someone that the security system wouldn't stop her because she'd just break a window. Yesterday when I went out she was right there when one of the guys who lives in her house sat on the curb and hatefully glared at me while I got in my car and drove away. The police say they're protected by the First Amendment. Apparently they can terrorize me and ruin my life, and it's perfectly legal. I'm seriously thinking of doing best to find out who is the local gangster Godfather of this neighborhood, and begging him to help save me from these predators. (But I have no idea how to do that.) I'm at the end of my rope. At least they won't be breaking into the house in the near future. I'm a poor old lady living on a tiny income. I had to borrow money for a security system. If anyone comes near or in here, they will have their picture taken. If they come in, the system will call the police. What idiots. All of this could have been avoided if those people across the street from me had just left me in peace to live my life. They've ruined many of my job prospects with their bs taking up my time and energy. Why aren't THEY going to school and/or working towards the future? Why are they obsessed with destroying me (and the tenant who lived here before me)? WTF is wrong with them and a system that lets them run rampant over their neighbors.

I, too, have a Hispanic bully neighbor. We have endured these people and their noise for 7 or 8 years now. Loud music, fireworks, kids playing basketball well after dark. And if you say anything, you are branded a racist. I am to the point with these miserable people where if they want this crap neighborhood, they can have it. I am ready to pack up and move just to rid of these people. Their kid climbs our fence and harasses my daughter at school. Calling the county sheriff does no good. They either tell me there is nothing they can do or don't bother to show up. It is obvious to me that these people are entitled to make all the noise and misery they like and We are expected to just roll over and take it.
