Thanks. Hopefully nothing comes of it. I’ve talked loudly with other neighbors about how much I’m enjoying target shooting every weekend, and how good I’m getting at it (both of these are true), and I’m hoping he either overheard or someone told him and he takes the hint. But if push comes to shove and he gives me no choice well I’m pretty confident I can hit center mass at 25ft and a baseball bat is way less than 25ft long.

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.

11·12 hours agoWhat do you mean “all the way to my bedroom”? He’s on video pointing at my bedroom window and swinging a bat. I’m going to hear the glass break and so is my dog. I also have to potentially cross paths with him every time I go to my car, or the laundry room, or the mailbox. You sure do have some strong opinions on this situation you know nothing about.

512·2 days agoI’m concerned with such a scenario because the guy lives 2 doors down from me. He’s threatened me before and I have video of him staring at my bedroom window in the middle of the night, pointing at it, and swinging a bat.
It sounds like OOP installed some sort of dumb 3rd party mod. A well built and maintained gun isn’t going to fire unless you pull the trigger. I live alone, my holster covers the trigger and I practice trigger discipline when I’m handling the gun. I’ll be fine.

Lol. The games have always been a satire of American politics and culture. This post has strong “I liked RATM/Star Trek before it was political” energy.

Someone born in 1949 would not have to fight in a war that ended when they were 4 years old.
Obamacare includes a minimum hour exemption and it should have been obvious to the authors of the bill that employers would cut hours to hit that mark.



If so that’s one of the few accurate things he’s said, assuming one trusts the statistics from the FBI
