I don't post publicly about my daily life very often, but this has been ongoing and it doesn't just affect me, it affects my elderly neighbors.
My family moved into our current home 4 years ago. We are purchasing. We have had neighbor issues pretty much from the get go... from nosy neighbors invading my space (coming in my yard uninvited and looking around) and snooping my mailbox, to another neighbor (retired police officer with cult connections) taking a shot at me and putting a bullet in the back of my house where I was standing. My home has been invaded (and much worse was done).
About a year and a half ago, we acquired new neighbors across from us. (We are at the end of a lane and kinda share a driveway.) They're a sweet Christian couple in their 70's and we have become good friends.
Well, about 6 to 8 months ago, we acquired another new neighbor. They have been trouble from day one, blocking the road with vehicles so it's hard to get in and out, and when our elderly neighbors asked them politely to move aside so they could get home, the man (in his 40's) got in my neighbor's face and threatened to beat him up.
Things have gotten worse and worse ever since. They have about 1/10th of an acre but somehow fit about 10 junkers and stacks of tires and car parts, metal scraps, etc in the yard. (We are in city limits.) They play heavy metal and rock music so loud it can be heard in our homes. They will put speakers in their back windows and point it toward our elderly neighbors to harass them, dump chemicals, used oil, etc into the neighbor's yard, etc.
They let their pitbulls run the neighborhood, which is against city ordinances. We have a leash law. Their dogs run into everyone else's yards, including mine, which upsets my 3 dogs who are on leashes. My big dog is a livestock guardian dog and he doesn't appreciate strange people or dogs in our yard. He has broken his leash dozens of times bc of these pitbulls in our yard.
A few months ago, my dog broke leash to chase them out of our yard, and ended up in a fight with those two pits. It got very bad. They began beating my dog with long metal poles, and then the woman hit my dog (and hers) trying to break up the fight and she got bitten (by my dog). He didn't attack her. He bit her one time because a hand was hitting him. My dog ran back to my yard ....followed by their two pits. So the neighbor man was steadily hitting my dog while breathing threats at me, cussing and taking God's name in vain.
I had called police before it escalated bc I knew it wasn't going to be good. Before police could get here, the mayor and the water meter reader zoomed into my yard threatening to shoot my dog. No consideration was given to the fact there has been dozens of complaints about those pits, and zero about mine and that those dogs had been in my yard when my dog broke leash to chase them out.
I broke down and begged him not to kill my dog bc he belonged to my son who passed away 2 years ago. :'( They kept gloating and threatening to kill my dog and finally stated that I better get my dog in my yard on leash or they would shoot him. Then they left.
My dog was too upset to agreeably come fully into the yard. He was intent on standing guard at the end of the driveway. I was holding his collar and trying to talk him into the front yard where I had another leash tied to a tree. He didn't want to budge. (He is about 150lbs, and my rib and other injury/trauma related issues make it difficult for me to handle a huge stubborn protective dog.)
I stood there holding his collar and talking, weeping, and praying for a good 15 or 20 minutes. My elderly neighbors and their teenage granddaughter were on their front porch watching and praying.... "I would come help you, but I'm afraid with him riled up right now." (They have such sweet and tender hearts!) I assured them it was okay ...and they continued to pray.
Finally, my dog (Bear) walked toward the leash and I leashed him up. Then he laid down and I could tell pain was settling into his body. He had a few flesh wounds on one leg, and major bruising I'm sure from being beaten with metal poles. He laid there and cried. I stayed and comforted him a good while.
Long story, I know ...and it is much longer than that, even. Even my retired policeman neighbor got back in on the dog harassment with letting their mastiff and rottweiler into my yard.
But these neighbors with the pits have been harassing us ongoingly. My elderly neighbors had to file restraining orders against them, but it isn't really much help. Now, the neighbors are shining flood lights into the windows of my elderly neighbors. They are having to buy mirrors to reflect the lights back.
Please pray concerning these hateful neighbors. I tried to make peace with them the day of the dog fight incident. It seemed to help a little. But they still have invaded my yard at night. It's just crazy. And the cult controls the "legal system" here. They are the same ones (county judge) who helped the cult steal my granddaughter.
It's a mess. I am concerned for my elderly neighbors. If you read this far, thank you ...please pray concerning these neighbors. I think we can pray for their salvation and give satan a big black eye!! But if they won't surrender to Him, may the Lord move them out or take care of this how He wills.
