22. This is not America

How do these hateful kooks justify vandalizing the kid'sroom?

House and vehicles vandalized.

Someone brandished a gun at the kids and chased them!

12 reports filed to police.

4 months of continuing escalating harassment.

Why haven't the police staked out their house and tailed their kids? I don't know what kind of coward attacks a child with a gun because he doesn't like the parent's lifestyle. Well, I don't like bigoted gun brandishing morons; isn't one of those crimes a felony?

The police have no excuse, none whatsoever to let this continue. By sweeping it under the rug, they're emboldening the kooks.

Will it take the murder of an innocent kid to get something done?

This whole family has done nothing wrong, nothing. The citizens of Gilbert AZ need to remove the police chief and whoever else is sweeping this under the rug.

Shameful.
