She's been over a few times before, they always argue about how much money he owes her, and he always says he's going to slit her throat or drag her behind his car or whatever.
Yeah, my neighbor's probably my city's Dexter.
But tonight he was thumping her against walls over and over so I finally called the cops. Apparently he had busted open her eye pretty badly and messed up her mouth. The cops had to take pictures. And apparently he's had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for God-knows-what - a Sheriff knocked on our door a few months back with a warrant for the guy. We overheard the cops saying that since he'd been charged with Assault before that they have to take him in overnight.
I feel good about having done this but the dude's a psycho so now we'll probably have to move out to make sure he doesn't slit our throats in our sleep.

It's worth noting that you probably don't legitimately have to worry about being attacked. More often than naught, a man who beats a woman is just a coward. He'll probably glare at you for the rest of forever, but I personally wouldn't be inclined to move over it.

Digi I’ve spent my entire life researching the multiples of zero and it has amounted to nothing.
Eh, well, we're not so much worried about that, although he very well might. We live in a house that's now four apartments. It's us, him, and a hippie and a silent old man upstairs. I don't think he'd suspect them because they've lived with him for a few years now and haven't reported any of his behavior. He also burst into our apartment when we lived next door to ask us to move our car out of his parking spot. Like, just up and opened our door and walked up the stairs and into our kitchen and told us to move our car. So **** that dude, he's already screwed us over.
But all that said, no, I don't think he necessarily knows or thinks it's us. We haven't shown any dislike towards him, and one time I walked home from the local deli with him and we just chatted. I like the guy well-enough except for the way that he's totally sketchy.
Our landlord told us that if he ever caused us any problems or made us uncomfortable to call the cops because other people have complained about him, so I think he's looking for a reason to get rid of the guy.
