Crooked law: what do you do when you have no other options? We are not safe and THE LAW is as dangerous?

Question

4Over5 years- We have feared the local law & the neighbor who is always drunk,is a drug addict and a convicted felon BUT he is related to the law in a small town. He 4-wheels on my property (serious damages), has set my property on fire, cut down my trees so that he can 4-wheel, come to my door with a gun, shot at me, threatened my parents with a gun, tried to run us off of the highway, etc. We have tried the police:when they came he was standing on my property with a gun saying that he came to shoot my dog because he was mad at us for shooting a shot in the air to get his pit-bulls to not attack my disabled mother on her porch (we are animal lovers and we just could not shoot the dogs, then). He told the police that he was going to burn the house with us inside. He tried to attack my mother, on one occasion, and me, on a different occasion:THE POLICE WERE STANDING THERE. I was told, laughingly, that they will do nothing until he actually shoots one of us. We have never broken the law.

Answer 1

call your mayor, Governor, the state police...write letters ...don't stop until someone does something...good luck

Answer 2

1. Have you made a complaint to the police on each occasion, and have they filed a report?
2. You say this is the local law (town sheriff)? Have you tried the county sheriff's office? Have you tried the mayor's office?
3. Have you tried civil action, i.e. lawsuits for property damage? Or have you spoken to a lawyer about taking out a restraining order?
4. Does the man own the property next door or rent?
5. Do you own your property or do you rent?
6. Have other neighbors also had problems with this man, or is he singling you out?
7. Are you an ethnic minority? You could have him arrested for race hate crimes under state statutues.

It sounds to me like you are going to have to take this up with a higher authority than your local police. I don't know about the relationship between them and your neighbor, but they may consider him to be a harmless nuisance. You have to go up the chain of law as high as you can and show that the man poses a physical threat to you, your family and your property. This man needs to be incarcerated; he sounds too dangerous to be out on the street.
5. Is there a "three strikes" law in your state?

Answer 3

record everything that happens and contact the state attorney general, and also contact the sheriff department
