I remember that case. It was a shame he got shot. I feel the same, if someone is coming in, they don't live here, and have no business coming in. I am a law abiding citizen. I think it's important for the police to verify their information, and also the address. Someone familiar with the area...

I had the police show up here at my house about a year ago. I freaked out when they pulled in the driveway, because I couldn't imagine why they were here. I met them outside, in the walkway, and asked what they wanted. I have no issues with the police, but I figured it would be easier to meet...

I had to laugh at you not wanting to jinx it. Been there, for sure. I think here, we've all sort of been holding our breath, just waiting to see what happens next with the shooter in my neighborhood. I'd feel much better if I was back in my childhood home, with the thick plaster walls. A friend...

I agree. There can never be too many guns (or other weapons) in the hands of GOOD citizens, because there will never be enough law enforcement to protect each and every one of us. Criminals have guns, will get more guns, and have no intention of giving up their guns. They use their guns and...

I actually do that when I'm at fault, and have done something stupid, such as if I did't let someone merge into traffic because I didn't see him/her in time. I've had it happen where both of us have done the palms in the air and shaking our heads while mouthing sorry a few times, which was nice...

I hate hearing stories like this. He was riding his motorcycle in Port Aransas, Texas, in his free time when this accident occurred. My prayers go out to his family. Corpus Christi Police Chief Floyd Simpson dies in wreck - Caller-Times

Here's a story of yet another idiot who forgot he was in Texas. This bumbling idiot decided to hold a gun to the head of a check cashing store manager, who then pulled his own, and shot the assailant: Store Manager Turns the Tables on Armed Robber | NoozSaurus

That's scary. Dogs are another issue here in my 'hood. It wouldn't surprise me if people here came to blows or gunshots on that subject at some point. The issue of the day is concrete trucks that showed up in the middle of the night, to deliver concrete / pour a driveway. I lucked into the best...

That's scary. I'm surprised someone (management or whomever handled the building/complex) didn't address his behavior. I can't imagine having to live in a place where I was harassed like that. I think you're right @lushlala, the incidents seem to be increasing, or it could be that we're hearing...

@IshieVonDyson Drugs were part of the problem here in this neighborhood, also. From what I had heard, the shooter had called CPS (Child Protection Services), and the neighbors had lost their children for a while. Apparently, at one point, the children were playing out front naked, as their...

Yes, definitely @IshieVonDyson, and sometimes now is all we get, so it's a good reminder to celebrate while we can, and be thankful for those in our lives, and what we've been given.

We've discussed road rage here in the forum, so I wanted to share this video. It was created by MSR Houston and a Texas state trooper, and it consists of common road rage scenarios, as well as ways to respond to them, to decrease the chances of injury: What to do in a road rage situation | abc13.com

Wow, I'm a free speech advocate, but I'm glad that worked for you, and she finally learned to mind her own business. I can't believe she'd actually say something like that. I'd have probably sent her over the edge by telling her he was my booty call. At my last place, I returned home after...

I know there's one thread here about a particular situation, but I wanted this to be more of a general thread, where we could post our experiences with nasty, crazy, or evil neighbors. I like the Discovery ID show Fear Thy Neighbor, but some of the episodes are incredibly sad, and also scary...

This is sad, but it's also positive, so I'm going to post it here, since it fits in with the theme of the thread. I hope she beats her diagnosis, and they have a long and happy life together. Terminally-ill bride and her groom in Wisconsin given free wedding celebration | abc13.com

If I hear more, I'll post it here. I have friends up there, so maybe they'll post a video or additional details. There's also the story about the man who stood in a park, trying to stop punks from defacing property, and was spray painted as a result. Maybe it's something in the water...errr...

I'd love to know the story behind the story. Why did he have the hammer, and what the heck was he hoping to accomplish up there? I hope he appropriately thanked the first (and second) responders. Hammer-wielding man found stuck in basketball hoop in Washington | abc13.com

Yes, absolutely, and this should also extend to other circumstances. I sometimes have doubled back (when I lived elsewhere), in case someone was watching, just to throw them off track. We often get complacent about our activities, and aren't aware that there are people who will watch, not only...

I understand that sentiment, @JoanMcWench. It's extremely difficult to work in a job where this type of incidents occur. My hat is off to those dealing with issues such as this. I have a lot of respect for those who can cope with this type of treatment, and still continue to perform their duties...

I've worked with brain injury patients in the past, and their behavior can be unpredictable. His behavior might be attributable to his injury, or, as @lushlala said, he could have been belligerent to start with, and that's how he became injured. It's hard to say without more information, but I...
