Update: Well, yesterday went from bad to worse. The neighbours were abusing each other again, cursing and slamming doors and yelling and screams of distress and pain. I found myself compelled, once again, to call the police. The police duly arrived and did their thing which appeared to subdue the situation. However, no sooner had the police left the scene, then Daleyacunt and Fuckin’Fuckhead (aka Jacinta apparently) finally introduced themselves… sort of :S… by means of standing in their back yard yelling at us/towards our house pressing into service some of the most foul language imaginable. 😐
Dale was aggressive and abusive, repeatedly directing someone in our household to ‘Suck my cock, ya fuckin’ cunts’ 😐 He then proceeded to attempt to intimidate us by ranting on about how he’d been in jail for 11 years and that being loud and rude doesn’t get you sent to jail, but stabbing people does! Ergo, there’s no point in calling the police on them for again. Almost immediately, She began hurling abuse at us too (unbelievable)!! Declaring. loudly and proudly, that she was ‘black’ and that we should be worried because her family that would come ‘fuck us up’ just like they ‘fucked up that guy on Palm Island’. Daleyacunt was also saying ‘Don’tcha watch TV? When you stick your nose in other people’s business, ya come home an’ find ya fuckin’ house on fire, ya cunts’. It went on and on. By the end of this tirade they had threatened our persons, our property and our little dog too (poor Oscar). He was laughing maniacally like he thought he’d pulled some great joke over on us, swearing indiscriminately and saying the police were scared of THEM and that there was nothing we could do that would do anything to him. Many more ‘We are going to fuck you up’s and several more ‘they’re going to get us’ threats were issued when in amongst this barely coherent abusive rant, Dale actually referred to themselves as the ‘neighbours from hell’… Which may well be the first and only factual thing he said. Throughout all this window-licking crazy talk, Mr K and I were staring at each other in disbelief and remaining stoically silent, refusing to engage with him at all.
Unbeknownst to the less than perceptive Daleyacunt, as soon as he issued the first threatening statement I had called the police again to report that threats were now being directed towards us (something we had been trying so hard to avoid incurring for the last few months). The same officers who attended next door were then sent around to our property and all the while Dale was still railing at us from next door. One of the policemen interviewed us while his partner went into the backyard and started recording the abusive diatribe. With this audio recording in hand, the police officers decided to charge him with threatening violence and he was subsequently arrested. Unfortunately, he was likely only gone a few hours and was then released on a good behaviour bond under which he is not allowed to interact or talk to us… but I had my doubts that bond would stop him from getting on his leaf blower at 6am this morning (being Monday, he’s allowed to use power tools even earlier). The police called to let us know when he was in custody, and relayed to us that when they picked him up he denied having threatened us with violence at all. They quoted his threats back to him and he denied having issued any of those threats. They then confronted him with the fact that they had been on our premises at the time and had audio recordings of his threats and he STILL denied everything! Apparently, he would only admit to ‘maybe’ having said he was going to mess with our dog. So, it turns out Daleyacunt is even more deluded than I thought… incapable of digesting new information, such as oh, I don’t know… concrete evidence? and adjusting his version of events accordingly.
The man obviously has no common sense, very little if any higher reasoning abilities, is completely unable to grasp a concept my 10 year old has already mastered – that your actions in life have consequences, and even when confronted with direct evidence by officers of the law, he blatantly lies! He appears to be lacking even a self preservation instinct? Seriously?
Well, I admit that after months of listening to this steady flow of abuse I have become quite stressed about the situation. Now, after today’s events, I am excessively distressed about the unwanted circumstances that we find ourselves in. Yes, I was quite upset about the whole mess yesterday and I am not looking forward to more passive aggression from next door. All I can do is keep calling the police when his behaviour escalates and hope like hell that he doesn’t change pattern and decide to come over here and start physically throwing his weight around 🙁
