Guys, why can't you all just get along!
This whole thing sounds like both of you need to grow up.

I agree. Way too overboard. Let him weed whack to his hearts content.
Learn, like rcmodel says, to just get along. . .

I get it, the guy is an ********* bully! He gets his rocks off bullying people. He was probably the kid in school who was always "calling everyone out" to fight with them after school! I have seen his type. All tough on the outside and a crying little child on the inside. Blame the way he was brought up! Maybe his father always beat him and told him what a good-for-nothin' POS he is and he will amount to NOTHING his entire life! So, he is living the life that was laid out for him, he didn't have a chance to "be nice" as it probably got him belted with the belt if he was nice.thanks for the responses so far. nope, i've never used a weedwhacker. i had no idea they were nylon cords, although i'm sure if he swung it at my eyes, it would do permanent damage if it came into contact with them.
i'm not sure if i was clear enough, but i've gone out of my way to avoid this jerk, and to be polite to him when i do have to deal with him. my girlfriend has tried being super polite to him, but she's done trying.
he's already called the police on me for open carry. the police in my town are now super aware of the legality of open carry, because of a pending lawsuit (relating to the Old Country Buffet incident in Dickson City). the police themselves have told me that since there were no witnesses, even if i did "menace" him, there wasn't anything they could do about it. yes, MWAG calls are the negative aspect of OC, but i was on my couch, watching TV, in my AC cooled room, trying not to melt from the horrible heat we've had in PA this last summer. i only carry a gun when i'm awake.
Hardware, the weed killer idea is a stroke of genius, and i wished i'd thought of it. i want to avoid any contact with this idiot, and if there are no weeds to whack, he won't have a reason to cross my yard.
this guy is the only neighbor i have issue with, and i'm not the only one. every other person in the neighborhood that i've talked to has had nothing good to say about him. i've seen him dumping grass cuttings and raked leaves into one guy's yard, and an elderly couple across the street from us tell me he constantly plows snow into their driveway, everytime it snows more than 5", just to clear out a parking spot for himself. i know i can be abrasive at times, but that's usually only with people i know. i took it upon myself to have good relations with every other neighbor i have, and i've been successful; we get invited to cookouts, and most people are welcome in my home. i've gone shooting with a few of my neighbors, one is teaching me to reload, and no one else has had an issue with an ethnic-looking guy open carrying in the neighborhood; one elderly woman has gone so far as to tell me it's a relief to see me doing so, because of a few burglaries that have occurred over the last few years. so, really, the issue lies with George. he's just an ignorant person, one who i'd rather not deal with.
I don't understand this.the police themselves have told me that since there were no witnesses, even if i did "menace" him, there wasn't anything they could do about it.
Not the biggest downside: raising bail for a false charge of assault with a deadly (if next time they believe him) would be bigger. And if you ever are forced to shoot him, defending a murder charge would be bigger still.MWAG calls are the negative aspect of OC
I don't understand this.
Are you saying your neighbor tried to have you arrested for menacing, but the police declined, saying there were no other witnesses?

From what I know about you, you sound like a very confrontational man to me. Not aggressive and violent. Just simply someone who likes confrontation. Just my opinion, of course. But the problem is other people's opinions matter when you get charged with a crime./QUOTE]
Two bullies that can't stand down?
There is one like this in just about every neighborhood. Some run the HOA. Some just keep calling the City Codes Office. Some are just abusive verbally.
Document with the police all negative interactions with the unfriendly neighbor. Try to get the others that are harassed by him to do the same.
Protect yourself from this guy, but be careful not to make the matter worse. Cooler heads are winners.
i've also found out that yes, the 6" does belong to him. he just decided to build his fence 6" short of his property line, for some reason, but still wants to maintain the part past his fence.
Whether or not an object can be used to kill you is immaterial in some ways. If it is capable of being used to inflicting grievous, crippling injury (and blinding of one eye qualifies), it can be be considered a de facto lethal weapon if and when used with the intent to inflict such injury.blindness if they damage an eye. It may not be a threat to life but it's still a very real threat to a person's long term health
There's a saying in New England: good fences make good neighbors.they built a fence just on their side of the property of 6 foot height leaving about a foot between their fence and the original
