at that point can't you get the police to do something about the guy for threatening your life?

They were here that night. 2 other neighbors called the cops because he was out there for hours swinging a bat around. I also showed them video the next day of his threat and of him hitting the mailbox with his bat (federal offense, in theory). They didn't do anything but talk to him. Then he assaulted another resident a few weeks later, shoved his door open and whaled on him a bit. Class A misdomeoner for that, which means most likely community service. I'm hoping he gets mandated therapy because I'm fairly certain he's schitzophrenic (his problem with me is he somehow got the idea in his head that I hacked his wifi and broke his Roku). But I'm not holding my breath.

I grew up in a rough neighborhood. I went to high school with Latin Kings. It is so fucking stupid I had to buy a gun specifically to carry on my on own property in the quiet little suburban town I moved to but I'm convinced he's eventually going to force me to defend myself and I am not getting murdered by this motherfucker.

yeah all this makes complete sense. but someone who is actively threatening and sometimes assaulting people should not be able to just keep going with their lives. the cops need to do something

can you get those iron bar things to put on your window, so that even if it does break, the guy isn't able to easily go in? i have seen some people suggesting an alarm system, but the window breaking sound is probably enough.

also, are you able to go to a psychologist? i'm assuming this has been going on for at least a few weeks, and it can't be good to sleep anxiously every night for that long. and having someone who can help you after the guy is dealt with would be good too (and considering the situation, i'd guess it's probable you'll get some long lasting psychological trauma, so a psychologist would be good)

i really hope the guy gets dealt with soon and that you won't have to wait long to sleep well
