I live in a shitty apt complex and my old man neighbor keeps harassing us by ringing our doorbell then running away but the thing is he is a weirdo and watches out the window and specifically does this when he knows I’m gone and my gf is home alone. Half the time he runs away but when my gf tells him to stop he gets super aggressive and starts yelling calling her a fucking stupid bitch and saying shit like she should die or her mom should have killed her. He first started by opening his door every time my gf would come in or out of our place and be like “hey girl” and watch her coming or leaving from out his window
We’ve tried talking to his partner who works and is gone a lot and we hear her yelling at him all the time but nothing changes, we’ve tried talking to the apt office several times but they say they can’t do anything other tell us to call them every time it happens or file police reports. Well today we called the office because it happened again and the person working there acted all annoyed we were reporting it and got mad at our frustration that they refuse to do anything
i really dont know what to do anymore he’s making her feel unsafe and with the way he’s escalated his aggressiveness its hard to say what he is or isn’t capable of anymore, especially when he knows im not there. I don’t want to get the police involved and I don’t want to beat an old man’s ass because that would just put me in jail
Here’s the thing: What if you do that and HE gets police involved?
Denny it completely and tell them that he’s been threatening her and that this behavior is further harassment. There’s a decent chance that a piece of shit like this has other incidents in his record and if you haven’t made a habit of threatening old men then they’re not going to do shit.
My concern is escalating it directly with him like that is tempting him to escalate directly with her. He knows that you’re not the kind of person who regularly threatens people because you didn’t do it the first time it happened.
I’ve known someone like this and my experience is they were recording every everything they did to harass others so they could get a “gotcha” out of context. Mine was harassing myself and my partner (and, I found out later, a couple other people) and it took a very, very long time (and a huge public blowup from them) to get rid of this person. They never would have been dealt with if they kept their cool and just quietly harassed people like they had been doing for years.
