I've been threatened with violence - oh, my!

 Regarding the illegal business a neighbor 2 doors down started in our residential neighborhood. Which I mentioned in a previous post. The matter will be addressed at Thursday night's town council meeting, for which I have as usual prepared a written statement. I find that reading aloud instead of speaking extemporaneously helps me be far more concise and even-tempered.
 
In a long conversation with another concerned neighbor, I found out that the wife had essentially called me an ungrateful wretch for not appreciating "all that's been done for me in the past" as if I hadn't paid them well for every bit of it, even asking them first for some things because I knew they needed the $ so badly. But without mentioning my name, she wrote on her FB page that if I ever step foot on their property again, she'll punch me out.
 
I no longer have one shred of sympathy for that couple. They had indeed always been polite with me, and as the town outlier I never heard from others about how they've really been behaving. Apparently they've managed to scare quite a few people. I knew that the man who bought the house between us 2 years after I moved here is a bully (thank goodness he moved!), as well as one of those 'citizen militia' guys who play soldier in the woods on weekends and plot armed overthrow of the federal government. But I didn't know the two guys were close buddies, and that the one with the illegal business is also involved in the alleged 'Patriots'.
 
So I laughed and told the neighbor I was visiting over the fence with that even a big woman like Pam would have a hard time landing a blow on me, especially when I'm forewarned! because even at my age I haven't forgot everything I learned at a full contact dojo in Los Angeles. I never made it to black belt because we moved, but as a shorty I know I have an actual advantage over a larger person. Especially a big woman about twice as wide (and slow) as she ought to be.
 
The visiting neighbor said I should tell our alderman about the FB page with the threat, but I'm not going to until I persuade someone with access to that FB page to snatch me a copy. Otherwise Pam might take it down and I'd never have proof. Anyway, I want to read it.
 
That sort of thing does make a lot of people back down, especially women alone. But I was taught to lean in and my reaction's different. It actually emboldens me. I already know from talking to my alderman that the entire board's against what's happened. He told me that a home business license was indeed granted, but since the application was under false pretenses - claiming it was only temporary and for 1 or 2 vehicles to be worked on of an evening - invalidates it immediately. I also learned that the owner had been warned that if any neighbors complained, he'd have to quit. The appeals process for a variance can be quite expensive and the neighbors would then be invited by registered letter to voice their concerns in private. So I know the answer would be negative.
 
And yes, I'm just the sort to voice my objections openly at every step of the way. So nobody will get any peace until mine's restored. I kept quiet when the guy started driving a semi home at night since he at least parked it off street and I knew they were on the verge of losing their home. But since then he's gone to work for 2 different places in town and got fired from both for, you guessed it - bullying and laziness on top of it. So I have zero sympathy left. I made an L.A. police chief back down in public and I'm not afraid of this local bully either. Yes, I recognize the danger but I've always in my heart fiercely castigated people who enable them, so I have no excuse for rolling over either.
 
When the council reaches even an initial decision, I'll post it here - if I'm able.

Officious little shit ain't she.  Live in scummy neighborhood get scummy neighbors.

A couple of things there Ms. BadassEyes:  If she didn't mention you by name how do you now for sure she's talking about you?  Sounds like you're trying to make yourself sound important to the residents of DUmmieland and a typical DUmmie trouble maker.  If you don't have access to the neighbors FB page how do you know it's there?



Where's the B.S. flag?

My goodness sounds like a kindred spirit to the DUchebag. If the guy has a sub 80 IQ and mental illness that's a four bagger at the DUmp.

Sounds like irishass got what she wanted on the cheap from the neighbors and now she wants to shut them down.

6. You sure have changed your tune

"There's a wonderful youngish couple down on the corner; good family etc."

now: "I'm not afraid of this local bully either."

"Anyway, he was gone from home so much that he took a job as a mechanic at a local shop in the BUSINESS district, and everything seemed fine until the owners were killed in a motorcycle accident and he was out of work again. Not his
fault. "


now: "But since then he's gone to work for 2 different places in town and got fired from both for, you guessed it - bullying and laziness on top of it."

I find these words offensive: "even a big woman like Pam" "Especially a big woman about twice as wide (and slow) as she ought to be."


Maybe you should reconsider getting involved. Just my 2 cents.

I made the mistake of attending a homeowners association meeting when I first moved here, and I can vouch for the fact that people like this really do exist, and that they are convinced that normal people should actually give a shit about their petty grievances and make believe drama.

Wait, whut? I fell asleep reading that.

That is not legally a threat, you stupid cow.

Hmmmm

She's sympathetic to the guy when he lost his job, then took advantage of him when he did some work on her car and now she's pissed at his wife?   Maybe the wife has good reasons for not wanting her near her husband, uh property.

Of course that's all speculation as I haven't seen that fb page yet myself

Maybe irishass got the guy to change her oil and the wife found out about it.
