we have been thinking hard about arming ourselves. mrs d's idea actually.
we've lived in our neighborhood 6 years. several of the old people that lived behind us have died and the properties have been sold. the people that bought them can't rent them for the outragous amounts they thought they would get. they've turned them into section 8 rentals and we've had trash move into the neighborhood the last couple years. Now we have a dangerous criminal.

i turned off this guys electric (that's my job) and he threatens to "blow my head off". it was pretty creepy this time because it's in my backyard. the guy goes to the office and threatens the girls too. police show up at the office then pay a visit to his home. the guy has a rap sheet 3 pages long, most drugs, weapons and assult. he's done jail time but no prison time. we don't Think he knows where we live.
now i can't park in front of my house at lunch or bring the truck home when i'm on call. we have extra police patrols now.(we rarely used to see patrol car) the police have had trouble with this guy and are looking for a good excuse to lock him up.

we shouldn't have to live this way. needless to say we are looking to move and to taking lessons and buy hand guns.
