The “cranky neighbors” Moved in next to the already established domicile of the, uh, ‘Druid’.
The “cranky neighbors” wanted the established ‘Druid” to stop doing what is his religious practice, of sorts, because THEY wanted some ‘peace and quiet’.
Of course, this is a story from good ol’ jolly England, however, “the new neighbors” were wrong in coming onto the ‘Druid’s’ property and accosting him.
Once again, this is jolly no-gun-allowed England, if you get my drift.
You’re saying they should have shot him.
Yep, the neighbors were wrong. You can hate the Druidic witches for their cult but you can’t go on their property and interrupt their actions, let alone attempt to murder them. If they are engaged in illegal contact, you can call the police, but that is about it.
