(9,893 posts)some years ago in my neck of the woods where this guy took it upon himself to harass his neighbors. Big time. Bright signing lights, big speakers blaring noise, really annoying stuff. The neighbors were two families, Mom, Dad & kids in each house. The men had had fights before, but one night the harassee just snapped and shot the harasser dead. Apparently, the harasser was a known bully and loudmouth. REALLY provocative. His wife did not seem to find it particularly surprising that someone had had enough. It went to trial and the shooter was found guilty, which surprised me a bit after I read the whole article about what had been going on for a very long time. I felt sorry for the shooter, but really, what can anybody do. Yeah, he should not have shot the bully, but society has no remedy for this kind of situation.
