Ignorant ******S!

[Mel]

Hellooo,

I know i havnt been on here for what feels like a veryyy long time, and the one time i do its because i need to rant (think lylej is a bad person to talk about this subject with)!

About 2/3 months ago my cat got shot by an air rifle by someone living not too far from my house. We know next door but one to us own a lot of air rifles - and real ones too....the bloke and his sons are always up to no good infact i know that one has not long got out of prison. The dad is dying so his sons do all the dirty work (my village is only tiny and even the little council bit thats down the end of the village does not cause as much trouble as this one family.

Anyway It turned out my cat was a girl who then got pregnant and then got shot...luckily she survived and cant have the bullet out until all kittens have gone (which shall be very soon now)

For obvious reasons the ploice got involved although nothing really could be done about it as my cat cant speak! They checked the guy next door but ones guns to see if he had the matching bullet that is inside my cats thigh but nothing matched so fair enough...

A few days ago the pulled my mums fiance to the side and threatend him saying we accused them of trying to kill my cat - which is not true of course we suspected as we knew they where no good roughnecks so to speak, the guy was claiming if he wanted to shoot my cat he would just get the 12 gage or something like that out and blow her head off - but every night she comes to his garden and sleeps on his table & apparently he fusses her at night. However i find this hard to believe as he has stuck nails upside down on his garden gate to stop anything getting into his garden...

Anyway accusation after threat after threat My mum & her fiance are now to scared to leave the home - leave our animals or even live with doors - windows unlocked or open...Apparently tehre the type of people who will get 2 blokes on the bloke they have threatend and 3 woman on the girl they have threatend...they have not directly threatend myself but how the hell can we get on when we expecting any thing to happen at any moment - my mum has had a lot on her plate since i can remember and the one time she settles in somewhere someone rocks the boat - it turns out the local bobby had told this guy that lives next door but one to us that we has accused them of doing it...so he is now in trouble for breaching confidentiality..however if something was to happen where the hell are the police going to be and what will they do - after all that happpend that night the police didnt come straight over no..they came later the next day in the afternoon to take a statement...

The bloke claims he knows who did it - just as much as he claims he knows who put a huge brick through our next door neightbours living room window and splashed paint remover all over there car...I dont know what there game is and what my point is - but if something was to happen i doubt any one will be there straight away to deal with the idiots who get away with it all the time.

Im actually scared of being woken up to a brick through my bedroom window or coming home to find all our animals have been killed because i know that they will do something - and the police will not protect us if my mum gets hurt .. I actually though we lived in a nice safe village - we never bothered anyone but it just proves that no where is safe & that theres always some kind of scumbags looking for trouble right under you nose....




Rant over....It makes sense to me anyway!
Hope your all well any way!

[Bluefish]

bloody hell, move.

[Lozzo]

Move to a less pikey area

[Mel]

i wish it was that simple!

[Spiderman]

not nice situation. I hope some of our forums boyns n girls in blue can advise you waht to do to best protect yourslef cos i'm sure moving aint really the best option.

Scum like that make me sick.

[davepreston]

give them some of there own medicine ,well i would but im that way inclinded , if you do just remember the 3 fold rule , what they do to you multiply it by 3 and give it right back

[Von Teese]

That's absolutely horrendous!
Ask the police for Victim support...NOW!

What horrible people!

Speak to victim support as there seems to be much to deal with and I would rather you get the correct advice rather than exacerbate the situation.

[Edit] oh and I would love to see the kitty photos when they are born.
When I was vet nursing we used to get a lot of that, RSPCA would usually deal with it.

[Mel]

Thanks for the advice, the kittens have pretty much gone now been sold etc but lylej took some lovely photos ill post up when im not at work! I finish tomorrow afternoon so ill post them up then...they where all so cute and lovely ! didnt want to see any of them go! :( but im just grateful they survived to be honest!

[G]

There is not alot you can do, you only have 3 options.

A) Get on with your life

B) Move

C) Fire with fire if you have the balls

I know how you feel, I had a problem neighbour for a year, they were an indian family of about 24 in a 4 bedroom house, they seemed incapable of pulling onto their drive without driving over my front garden or into parked cars and on occasions actually just parking on my drive, they were unbelievably rude and noisey in general... they soon moved out after subtle hints none trackable hints :thumbsup:

[Luckypants]

I like Davepreston's approach.

[Von Teese]

TBH, they sound like real nasty pieces of work

I would be careful about winding them up any further.

You have no idea what some people are capable of....perhaps I just have the burden of knowledge but I certainly wouldn't provoke them and I wouldn't try to get revenge...

[Mel]

Yeah, i dont really want to scoop to there level to be honest. Just wish there was something i could do...it isnt fair we have to leave just because they threaten to make my mums life hell!

This was like 2 days ago and nothing has happened yet so hopefully its all mouth! But we shall see - my next door neighbour is the night porter so he tells me baout what happens with him. .

I dunno just a waiting game i guess!
Ill put pics of kittys up later on too :)

[missyburd]

I was going to say is PsychoCannon responsible for shooting the cat, until you said she was pregnant :-P

Seriously though, poor you, and your family, a nasty state of affairs indeed. But to those people who have said move, since when is moving as simple as that, especially these days! And why should you be squeezed out of the neighbourhood just because the eejits who live there can't sort things out amicably and have to resort to threats? Have you informed the police of these threats? (I realise you may have already answered this question, I admit I scanned most of the OP...)

[Owenski]

i know of a very similar family where I used to live, no one made eye contact with them for fear of "oi what you looking at" type taunts. They loved and I think got off on the grip they had over people that was until they messed with the wrong guy. A boy friend of my sister, been polite he said "alright" to one of the sons who was in the front garden tinkering with a crosser. This somehow translated to them having a street fight, it was awsome seeing the fool get leathered, needless to say this spawnd a rivalry between our families so my mum dad sis and myself were getting harrassed everytime we passed, so Paul came back with some of his sparring partners knocked on the door and called the 3 brothers and father out onto the street and with applause from equally terrorised naigbours Paul and his mates kicked the **** out of these guys. Needless to say DaveP is right fight fire with fire, if its just this family then they must have pretty much isolated them selves by now so no one will support them you just need an intimidating bunch of friends to come and let them know that your back is been watched. Oh wait you have an org! Who's local to you?

[Speedy Claire]

What an awful situation and I`m not surprised you`re all living in fear.

If it were me..... I`d call round to see them! I`d ask to speak to whoever is in charge of the family now so to speak and just say that you want to clear the air as this has been a total misunderstanding. Explain that you haven`t accused anyone of anything... say your cat was shot and the police asked if anyone in the area had guns and you explained that your neighbours did but at no time did you accuse them of shooting your cat. Say that you feel it was totally unprofessional of the police to then inform them that you had made an accusation and that this was untrue.

Just say that you apologise for the upset and hope that you can put all this behind you and move on. When you say this guy pets your cat every night it could be true... i`ve known the biggest of bullys to become soft when they`re petting cats etc.

This is what i`d do purely because I don`t like confrontation and i`d hate to live my life feeling threatened by neighbours. I don`t believe in fighting fire with fire and I think that approaching them shows courage and maturity.

Very best of luck hun

[Von Teese]

OMG OMG OMG!!! Soooo cute...awww I want them all xxxx
Now Im getting broody for kittens again:(

[gralln9]

i agree with speedy claire's philosophy

[Von Teese]

Providing they are reasonable people then Speedy Claire's idea is brilliant, however if they aren't ....

[Mel]

I did consider speedy claires idea - however im pretty sure id get a door slammed in my face or a load of abuse hurled at me!

[Milky Bar Kid]

I also agree with VT, get in touch with victim support. Perhaps also speak to the local housing authority if they are in accomodation rented from them?

Not entirely sure that speaking with them would be the best approach either, if they are as unreasonable as they sound from your earlier posts, it would more than likely inflame the situation.

Other than that, I ,personally, would just carry on as normal. You cannot stop living your life because then they will have won. I would ignore them and carry on with m business. However, if at any time you or your family feel in danger then use the treble nine system, that's what it is there for!
