"An old lady (the fireworks lady I talked about) put up an electric fence around her home to keep meddling kids from crossing her yard etc. What a shrew. She is the only bad neighbor in the entire block... "

It seems like if some child gets hurt on her electric fence she could very easily get sued. I know my parents have a privacy fence inside of another gated fence to make sure no child wanders into their pool and gets hurt because even with a fence, if a kid got hurt in it they would still be liable somehow. (you know the ambulance chasing lawyers would get some money out of her for it atleast) Even older kids aren't always smart enough to steer clear of an electric fence.

Around 1963, on his way home from school each day, a neighbor kid would drag a stick along our backyard fence to torment our German Sheppard. One day the dog stopped barking and kid stuck his face in a knot- hole to see where the dog was. The dog was right under his nose and jumped up and bit it off. There was enough left to re-attach it, and the kid's family never let him forget it growing up as they reminded him of the dog every time he stuck his nose into someone else's business.

Had that happened today there is a good change the dog would have been put down and my parents sued out the wazoo for damages.
