Just had my neighbor try to knock down my door and threaten to kill me

That video was terrifying, man. That man was clearly insane, had a terrible temper, or was on hard drugs/alcohol. It's equally as terrifying to know that the police in your area aren't helpful. At that point, it's inevitable to start looking into owning a firearm. Personally, I'd move the fuck out of that area as soon as possible.

Good luck, OP. Keep us updated.

So... Oh god it's day zero and I'm already sick of this. This whole situation is just so fucking bizarre. As I said the only time I've ever seen or spoken to this guy was when I moved in and said "Hello" and everything was fine. So sudden and completely random. I didn't even know the guys name (I do now though).

ANYWAY. As I said.. He came back. The locksmith was repairing the door and all I hear is "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING AT MY DOOR CUNT" to the locksmith... then he starts calling for me again, saying he is "going to bury me". Locksmith was just holding the door while this guy is trying to break in. So I call the cops again. Neighbor starts throwing shit, just going plain nuts. By the time the Cops turn up again he has retreated inside and locked his door. He ignored the cops asking him to come out, so they knocked his door down.

I've been at the police station for the last 1-2 hours making a statement.

He's been locked up for the night now so that's good, but court is tomorrow and he'll be out again. So who fucking knows what's going to happen.

I recorded bits and pieces of it, not sure if it captured anything, so don't expect much, but I will look at the videos tomorrow and post them if they're good. I'm going to bed now though, it's 11:22pm. Goodnight everyone. And thanks for all the thoughts! Sorry I couldn't update any quicker.

Your cops are pretty bad, no offense.

Holy shit :D

We're all super glad that you're safe!
 
Wow that sounds fucking insane :( Sorry to hear that, I'd hate to be in that situation.

Guy sounds crazy - hope you get on well at court too.

PHEW! Good to know you're alright. Damn that's some crazy shit. Did he try and do anything to the locksmith? At the very least now the cops know the situation so should be quick to respond.
 
Shit man, try and get some sleep. Hope he was in a drug rage and settles down tomorrow and apologises or something. Hopefully.

Had a incident a little similar with the dude living in the unit behind us. Accused us of breaking into his POS car and it took a lot of talking to calm him down from the point of threatening to kill me. Not a fun situation to be in.
 
but court is tomorrow and he'll be out again. So who fucking knows what's going to happen.

Australia I can't...

One last post... the Cops submitted one on my behalf. Probably wont do anything, they even admitted themselves.
how lenient is the system there? if that shit happened in the u.s the person would be locked up until they went to court at least.

Good to know you're alright, Reggie. Go stay with one of your family member or friends indefinitely. Until this matter is controlled.

They're letting this dude just keep on fucking trolling you.
 
Why did the cops release him in the first place?
Cops: Why are trying to break into your house?
Neighbor: I was just knocking gently on his door.
Cops: We have video evidence of you insulting and terrorizing your neighbor.
Neighbor: I was just talking Capcom to him.
Cops:That's fine you may leave now.

i bet you if reggie went out and beat his ass down with a bat he would of been arrested.

If you beat a cop you're not out the very same day I'll guarantee you that.
anything that can be called resisting arrest would mean the person is staying in jail for a while.

What do they do in America for situations like this? Australian cops are too weak, American too brutal. Can't there be a middle ground?

In America if the guy was resisting arrest then he'd have to make Bail which would be set by a Judge which wouldn't happen until the next day.

If he made bail then came back and harassed the OP again, he'd be arrested, lose his Bail money and have to stay in Jail until the court date.
