It has to be legal, but apart from that please be as vindictive, hateful, spiteful, amusing and life changing as you like. But it has to be discreet and have no repercussions.
One of my best mates has had a problem with a neighbour for a couple of years now. Started off with the usual....noise, late parties etc. However it has gotten worse as time has gone on. The guy is basically a thug, the rest of the street are scared and lie very low. However, things came to the boil recently when the thug chose to have a go at my mates wife. And i mean had a go, threatening to kill her, slap her about, his face inches from her face, screaming and shouting. Her and the kids were frantic, my mate was out (conveniently?).
As i say, he has history with most in the street, but nothing like this kind of threatening, sickening bully boy behaviour.
Anyway, my mates wife is now scared to go out. The kids wont play in the street. The police cannot do anything about it until it turns phsysical or witnessed, apart from suggest they keep a diary! However, none of the neighbours would dare say anything for fear of repercussions, so he continues to rule the street with intimidation and threatening behaviour.
So, any ideas please. Obviously it needs to be clever. The old manure on the drive type thing won't do, as he'll just put 2 and 2 together which will just make things worse!
I dont want any kind of vigilante type stuff or anything outside the law, just would like a way to help my mate out so he can get his life (and more importantly his family's life) back to normal.
Cheers guys, don't mean to air dirty washing or sound desperate. This is a really serious issue and i just hate the thought of** like this ruining people's lives!

surely revenge like this (ie without him knowing who did it or more importantly why) wil at best only make things worse?
stand up to him face to face (within a gang of your neighbours if necessary) so he gets the message. |

Invite him round for a chat, sit him down, get him a cup of tea and start with some polite chit chat. As you start to get along, start caressing your groin into life. If he doesn't notice, slip it out, have a wonk. He'll either kill you all and burn the house down or steer very clear in future.

You need to get a few cameras set up, I think. Show the evidence to the council in the hope that they agree he needs to be evicted.

go to the police , get them to serve an harassment order on him , police dont require cps advice for this , then when he breachesit ring police he will be arrested and taken to court . he will either stop his behaviour or carry on being nicked

sorry, but the solution to this one is an obvious one.
be a man. you, your mate, maybe another. go round, and kick his head in. warn him that if you hear from him again, he'll never walk again. simples. |

He is a well known hard B but a few guys would sort him............but his wife is passed herself, she won't have any of that in case him or his mates go round when she's on her own |

don't tell her!
not being funny, but if someone spoke to my missus like that they'd be breathing through a straw. |
|
By:
EE, generally, you find with people like this that they are too sh!t scared to go to the rozzers.
especially if you do it right and make sure that the kicking is one he doesnt want repeated. |
|
By:
If you don't want to get your hands dirty yourself get your mates family off for the weekend, get an alibi and sort it out - everybody knows somebody who knows somebody who would take care of these sort of characters for an envelope full of cash. Even if your mate was sh1tting bricks about confrontation it's poor form if he let him have a pop at his wife and did nothing.
|
|
By:
i think you have two choices
a) do nothing and except that you and your neighbours are too cowardly to act and therefore alow him the be DA MAN on your street or b) a mild form of what haas been suggested above in that you have to confront him directly and firmly (I would do it with enough of your quivering neighbours you can round up) taking childish revenge by playing 'tricks' on him went out the window when you left primary school imo |
|
By:

I worked in a jail for 18yrs and trust me I would go nose to nose with lads that would kill me if they wanted but when faced with confrontation they normally back down. All your m8 needs is a set of balls. |

By:
Get a few guys together masked up and jump him and bung him into the back of a hire van.
Tell him to fvck off out of town and start waterboarding him. Make sure at the time of this your mate and his wife are somewhere where they can be seen so they have an albi if police are involved. |
|
By:
"threatening to kill her..."
is an offence is it not? were the police not involved? |
|
By:
Or alternativley Ken Masters invite round for tea and ** erotica idea seems fool proof. Tell your mate to buy a top of the range stereo and blast out Coldplay 24 hours a day until he moves.

Simon, it is definately not me! It is a mate who is a decent guy, and anything but a fighter. Can't do the beat up thing, it's just a no go She did go to the police afterwards (didn't want the car at the house) and they said that unless there where witnesses there's nothing can be done. Just advised her to keep a diary from now on and report any further behaviour |
|
By:
If they can't do anything unless there were witnesses what's the point of the diary?

Hollow - I'm really sorry to hear your story. Any man?? who intimidates women and children are the lowest form. I don't really have any suggestions other than put his phone number up in Phone booths around town with him offering various services :)
ps Changing the subject - My mum was told to 'get out of the way' in a supermarket once. The bloke who did it was the chef at the local golf club (seen his picture in the paper - the fat git). Anyway my brother and 5 of his colleagues all phoned the environmental health team and said that they had been ill after eating at the club - over 3 or days. They were never contacted by the health team but I'm sure that Fat tu.rd was questioned by somebody. As Norman Stanley Fletcher said 'little victories' :) |

I know it all sounds a bit limp, but these are a very nice decent family, in a nice street who are literally sh it scared.
It's such a horrible position for them |

If they can't do anything unless there were witnesses what's the point of the diary? Banquo i don't know! It seems bizarre that innocent people cannot be helped and protected in a case like this. |
|
By:
Sounds like he knows nobody local will stand up to him - get them all to buy pitbulls and rottweilers then and get them to crap on his lawn
|
|
By:
Hollow it doesn't sound limp to me at all mate. It's very difficult to confront a di(khead, I think what the safest thing for you, would be to do it in a group. Good Luck pal :)

On the old**s or get of the pot theme, either front him up or admit the quivering defeat and move. Don't waste a life being stressd out.

By:
treat him like dog, firm "no" or "** off you**" everytime he steps out of line

I agree, Hollow. The police's lack of action is quite frustrating because surely they've heard about this guy before if the whole street's afraid of him.
I'm afraid in these circumstances the only way to deal with it is by fighting fire with fire. I'm not saying that your friend has to get into a fist fight but, given the way this guy has acted towards your friend's wife (which is uttery reprehensible), I believe he should be at the guy's door warning him about his future conduct. If that fails, then I'm afraid he either trys the police again or he looks out his spangly shorts and gets the Rocky theme tune blasted through a loud speaker into the street as he kicks shiit out of him. |

I know you think this is a simplistic approach but ffs stand up to the fecker , bullys are bullys for a reason because no cnut will stand up to them. When I joined the army I was picked on , first tour the falklands as a 18yr old was picked on by a battalion boxer. One day he pushed me to far I lost the plot and attacked him , got broken up and ever since then he left me alone. Sad that it had to go to that but I refused to be scared and frightened anymore and was glad I stood up to him. ps we went on to be pals. |

two solutions either they move house or the easy answer is to make friends with them when he out talk to his wife try to become friendly with her if this succeeds he will be ok too
