I am not alone!

Friend of mine a few miles away has the one crazy neighbor syndrome like I do...

His crazy neighbor wins hands down to mine. Two days ago, tearing apart a junk trailer home on the side of his trailer home, the crazy neighbor set his back woods on fire. He was burning the wood and scrap from the trailer to get to the copper and metal frame to recycle.

If the wind was different, my friend would have lost his barn and garage. The local VFD put it out and left. He started up the fires again, but the burned out woods prevented him from doing any further damage.

If times get tough or the SHTF, will the crazy neighbor, be the biggest threat to your safety? How will you deal with it?

At my parents house, there's a couple neighbors that worry them sometimes.

They've been waiting for the plywood mansion next door to burn down for years.

.22 LR spressed behind the left ear from 100 yards. OOPS! did i just say that out loud? lol Just kidding folks, really, there are better choices..

I AM JUST KIDDING!! I WOULD NEVER KILL A NEIGHBOR, the cops would suspect me automatically...

The summer we bought the house, I started pulling out the overgrown bushes that filled the flower beds and burning them in my burn barrel. My neighbor saw how much nicer my place was looking, so decided to do the same - but skipped the pulling and placing in the barrel part. Lit the darn thing on fire will still planted next to the house! Managed to scorch the siding before hosing it down. Had the local fire department hanging out in the street waiting for him to torch the house.

SHTF, most of my neighbors will cease to be a problem within weeks, all on their own. I just need to out last them.

Have to agree with you there.
Be prepared, be vigilant, keep your heads down and your ammo dry. Those who have the right mental state will always outlast those who don't. Even if the 'don'ts' have everything.

I think we all have those. One of my manys older kid was walking with his morbidly obese girlfriend and thought it would be cool to throw a road kill squirrel in my yard at my dog. (Which his emaciated body, probably from cooking meth, was unable to gather enough strength to do.) I watch all this without them even being aware that I was there. Soon after they left I went out with a plastic bag to gather said squirrel and dispose of it. All the while same thought was going through my mind. (Outwit and Outlast)

my crappy neighbor got kicked out of their house, last i heard they are living in a trailer park where they belong, at least i don't have to hear their kindergartner running around screaming the F word

thankfully all the rest of my neighbors are nicer quiet older people

 

[csaws]

I am in the same boat as seanmus (thankfully all the rest of my neighbors are nicer quiet older people ) well aside from my crazy neighbor is still there pitbulls and all.

 

[Lead Head]

It's good to know I'm no alone with this crazy neighbor thing. At least my other neighbor is totally the opposite and is great to hang out with. He has a lot of food stored up and I will be more than happy to help him defend it.

Any way, the crazies are the first to run out in the street and start shooting in the air yelling words like "yankee and rebel" and all other sorts of misunderstood and misused historical statements.

Save a bullet for the rabid pitbull. Did I just say that ? Yes I did and I'm sure I will say something like that again.

 

[Bigkeger]

You shoot that loon! He is a danger to himself and all the others who are just trying to survive.

 

[yepthatsme]

It's a shame that people live their lives without using their minds, but as everyone else has suggested, they will be the first to perish. Just make sure they don't take you with them.

Me too, because I'm a prepper, a gun nut, a bitter clinger, right wing conservative, and tea partier.... They leave me alone so I leave them alone (and will continue to do so even after the shtf).

Yes there are. Improvised claymore comes to mind.

dont worry, if shtf they will suddenly become devout Christians and they always just misunderstood you and they will bring over their two cans of food and share them with you if you share with them lol

I'll share with them, for their two cans of food, they will each receive a new body piercing and 123gr of lead.

Most of those close to my house are older, pretty decent people, but about a mile east of here is meth head central. That area, and it's inhabitants, would be a concern to me in a SHTF situation.

 

[hunter_47443]

I've got a crazy neighbor but he's harmless ( to me & my wife )
Shame on anybody messing around here!

 

[ATOMonkey]

The obviously crazy ones aren't the ones that worry me.

It's the ones that seem normal and rational when everything is going well. There are quite a few democrats in my HOA, that would feel the need to redistribute my stuff should something happen. I don't even have that much.
