At least the judge had some common sense

They should be on their knees thanking the Lord that he sent them a former Marine lieutenant colonel neighbor who knows how to use a gun and is willing to protect them.

[ican'tbelieveit]

So we have a boy with autism, a neighbor bully, and a neighbor dad who didn’t like his precious being called on his bullying.

[Marysecretary]

Those neighbors sound like real doozies. Glad I don’t live near them. Arrrrggghhhh.

[envisio]

Nobody.... especially not several people at one time.... is going to accuse someone else of these things for no reason at all, out of the clear blue sky. I don’t believe this story.

[Pharmboy]

Three Obama voters against one Republican.

[Travis T. OJustice]

In addition, the neighbors have been ordered to reimburse the Trussle's legal fees, which top $12,000.

GOOD!

[MEGoody]

Yeah, the left is just soooo tolerant. (Okay, the story doesn’t say these “neighbors” are leftists, but you just know they are with all that gun fear and everything.)

[RonF]

Sounds like some anti-gun nuts. I’m curious how they knew that there was a firearm in the house to begin with. Personally I figure it’s none of my neighbors’ business whether or not I own a firearm.

Thank goodness. I'd be putting my house on the market if I could afford it, though.

[Just mythoughts]

The Trussles said there were no issues until Gary Trussle confronted another father on the cul de sac whose son was picking on Spencer.

Apparently this child learned first hand how to bully. I have over the years encountered the parents as first teachers are the very ones who teach the bullying MO.

What really needs to happen in this sort of case is for a public-record “scarlet letter” to attach itself to known abusers of the legal system. That way, such abuse would carry a real penalty — abusers become a Happy Hunting Ground any time they need to hire contractors, etc.

It’s articles like this that make me feel so fortunate to live privately in a non-urbanized area.

[rockinqsranch]

This story stinks of Leftist NIMBY neighbors. Leftists are extremely prejudice against anything that isn't like them such as somebody else's autistic child. Now if the child was the Lefties child, then that would be a different matter altogether.

Then there's the matter of the former military father, and the fact there is a weapon in the house, and the typically Leftist CS tactic attempting to use his employer to achieve their goal.

Yes indeed, I'd say the neighbors were of the Leftist persuasion.

[HamiltonJay]

Tussles should sue the accussor for slander and harrassment. Not only get their 12k back, but make the little bastards pay.

Sorry, calling someones place of employement and CYS because you got called out for your kid being an a$$ and picking on disabled kid? What a coward.

[daku]

read the story, followed the link and watched the video

that looks like a very nice place to raise a family, except you would have to live near Sarah Fisher, Danielle Harway and Kelly Plaster

It's frustrating to get bizarre neighbors like this and the drive or fixation that they can be fierce.

When I was in high school in the 1960’s, we had a similar neighbor next door with numerous weird complaints to them and of course, most of them directed at me in one way or another. My folks cut down a lot of the irritation by simply building a wood fence on their side of the backyard so they were not tortured (LOL) by seeing us.

It came to a head though when on a weekend day, I way spraying insecticide on the front yard flower beds and bushes with one of the hose end sprayers. I walked around the corner of the house while spraying a tall hedge bush and the neighbor wife was behind it spying on me. Darn but she didn't get hosed down with Dursban or whatever I was using. Next thing I knew, I had assault charges filed against me then a court hearing in city court. In the show cause kind of preliminary hearing, the judge threw the case out of his court and told the neighbor if he ever saw her again, he would throw her in jail.

[shezza]

We had a next-door neighbor one time who lived in a family community with very small yards...the kids were always short-cutting across the corner of her yard to get to each other's homes. More than once she called the cops because kids were walking on her grass. She called the cops because my kids were outside playing in our own backyard, because "they ought to be in school" (we homeschool). She called the cops because she heard a rumor that some women in the neighborhood didn't like her and she accused them of being racist. She called the cops when someone had "keyed" her car and she suspected my children, who were in first and second grade and (a) didn't even know what keying a car was, (b) had no keys, and (c) hadn't been outside overnight, which is when it happened. She also filed racism and sexism complaints CONSTANTLY against people she worked with, so much so that it was a joke within the company. (BTW, she once told me that she didn't know why, but every place she ever lived she always had "the neighbors from hell." She couldn't figure out why she always had such bad luck.)

Some people are just plain crazy.

Sounds like Sarah Fisher is the ring leader of this vindictive little group. Now she and her pair of girl friends are going to have to cough up $12,000.

[ssaftler]

I’d love to know where the ACLU is on this one. Sounds like a classic case of attacking someone with a disability to me!
