BillW: I live in the country, too. My boyfriend patrols these fifty acres like a pack of watch dogs. He carries a gun and knows how to use it. He often calls the sheriff while holding trespassers under "citizen's arrest." He's got a reputation round here. Even the crazies don't mess with us. I guess they think he's crazier!
BillW: No, he was barred for medical reasons. My late sweetheart was, though. The experience never left him, permeated all his hours, actually. God, how I miss him. He was one terrific guy.
Dupre
LOL, on the boyfriend.
It's tough, but we cope! Life goes on - LOL dupre! Not just the Veteran suffer!
.357s and sermons that goes together I guess. But then it depends on the idiot.
Puts me in mind of a little ditty,
"Here lies the body of Jonathan Day,
Who died maintaining his right of way,
He was right, all right, as he went along,
But he is just as dead as if he were wrong."
You would do well to communicate with him no more frequently than you would with his dog.
Or move, have you considered that?
I don't know what I might have done, given no time at all to think, but eventually I would hold tight , he is the invader. Make that clear in what ever way you can. Always, whatever discource befalls from this, be nice. Nice and nice. don't blow your stack yet. Document what you can. Nice, we all know you are nice.
Going inside was probably the safest and wisest course of action. But it galls me to think that you were on your own property at the time.
Probably a good idea to notify the police. Then I would do nothing. If he approaches you on your property again, I suggest your telling him that he is not welcome there because his behavior on his last visit was so un-Christian.
Chances are he won't be back since he now thinks of you as a devil-worshipper.
dyslexia
stay in touch with us on this ok?
I have 2 miun
This may be out of context because I didn't have time to read every answer, but just because this guy spouts religion doesn't mean he's harmless. Many very ill and violent people use religion as part of their delusions.
Next time you are sitting on your property, wear a tin foil hat. When he asks you anything, no matter what the subject, ask him if he has been cleared and is it safe? Continue to make nonsensical comments (something like "who's on first?", "are the rabbits listening?") until he tires of you or runs screaming back to his home, whichever comes first. Also pretend you are going deaf and refuse to get a hearing aid, because "that's how they get inside your head!"
A little crazy-acting on your behalf, nothing too threatening, might get him to steer clear of you in the future!
Too, add to Heeven:
After all this if he takes you seriously and continues - now is the time to get scared - very, very scared!
I was going to suggest the Equus thing...guess Imnot the only one that uses that one! lol
BTW dyslexia, I think you did the right thing, if this is a first offence and well..if its a very close neighbor however next time he approaches, well...you can take any of the actions above and I believe itd be just fine
And should he touch or remove any more of your belongings, tell him it is alien spoor and they have come to infect y'all!
I am leaving the gefilite fish- it just confuses him (this is Colorado not NYC) i also don't really think he is dangereous in any way other than his thinking/mouth. Also i have a friendly cop across the street that is very aware.
Well, Dyslexia, all i can say is:
Like a drunk
In a midnight choir
I have tried in my way
To be free . . .
(and if I --
If I have been unkind
I hope you will let it go by
And if I --
If I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you)
