Find out how much he really wants for the place, pool thier money, buy Him out. Make Him a great offer If He thinks about it He would probably like to get out of there himself.

Otherwise the township should begin taxing him at what he thinks its worth ($675,000 ) and see how long he ignores the tax bill--of course that way there WILL be a SWAT team in His future. Its His property He can do what He likes with it. Sounds like He was a decent neighbor till control freak lady came along. Funny how Christmas sometimes brings out the worst in some people. We had a neighbor that did an extensive display every year --We used to call it the house that Christmas threw up on--took them a month to get it all set up and caused brownouts through out the area each nite. This year He sold the house and moved,,now we kind of miss it.....

So the local government is stating they never even tried to make this guy stop his former Christmas display? A neighbor makes a suggestion and he goes psycho.

From what I've seen, they didn't tell him to stop doing it, they just started ticketing him for parking violations and such.

So, indirectly saying it.

Wouldn't consider him a terrorist but he does sound like a giant asshole

If being an asshole makes someone a terrorist I'm in trouble.

Quote History

Quoted:

I don't do Christmas lights. Although once, in my wayward young teenage years, I was filled with the spirit and decided "This Christmas thing is actually kinda cool!" and so right before the annual big unveiling of the Nativity on the town common, I snuck in there under the tarp, grabbed the plaster Baby Jesus, and took him out drinking. Then Baby Jesus told me he was having too much fun and didn't want to go back, so He and I came up with a plan to leave ransom notes for the city complete with polaroids of Baby Jesus at all kinds of different local landmarks. At least, I think Baby Jesus had something to do with coming up with the idea, but as I said, there was drinking involved so I may be mistaken on that.

Well, as you can imagine, there was a tad bit of an uproar when they unveiled and where the Baby Jesus used to lie was a note saying basically "If you wanna see The Baby Jesus alive again..." and a shit load of insane demands.

So, there's me and Baby Jesus on the run from the long arm of the law... He eventually fell out of the back of a pick-up truck on the interstate across the river in Vermont at about 90MPH...never saw Him again. Hope He got away.

Wonder what this guy's screen name is.

One of his signs says "Do not enter you will be shot"

I live like 20 minutes from this guy, maybe I'll take a roadtrip tomorrow.

For those that don't know, this is the same township where the resident shot up the town hall a year or two ago.

LOL at the "Do Not Enter You Will Be Shot" sign and the sign saying the house is for sale "only $675,840". The yard looks like a dump and the tarps over various portions of the house give it a touch of white trash class.

Making fun of some dudes dead wife is going to far. I'd certainly want to fuck my neighbors over as much as I could if they cried over my awesome Christmas display and forced the law to have me takeit down. But I wouldn't do that, that's just fucked up. I'd probably just double the lights and keep adding more every time they bitch.

My dad used to do a huge light display that went up the day after thanks giving. A few hundred thousand lights that brought tour buses, insane traffic, and fuck tons of money for Sentinel Santa, a local Orlando charity. The neighbors would only complain if they were on till 2 or 3 AM, no tickets, no crazy ladies, no drama. The moments the started ticketing this guy, they get what they get, it's all their fault and all the money that used to go to charities is no longer.... Maybe he could still pull in some charity cash with this display?

Bingo.

For those saying the neighbors are pussies, perhaps it is because the law today frowns heavily on dealing with this old bastard the way he ought to be dealt with.

He wants an apology. Once he gets one, he will go back to the previous display, which was probably annoying, but not like it is now. The neighbors declared war, he obliged.

the best was the guy who always had a huge display (like mansion neighborhood, Monte Sereno, CA I believe). So big and generated so much traffic, that police would come help around Christmas with the cars.

This is profoundly true. We have dedicated, career-asshole neighbors. People who have good neighbors should thank their lucky stars.

Guy in the news story sounds like he is begging his neighbors to form a vigilance committee and beat him to death. I'd still rather have the asshole in the news story as a neighbor, than the mexican gang members I do have.

It is a few weeks out of the year.

I don't get it, two of my neighbors have a "light war" going, the results are utterly amazing. Those two houses look like you can see them from space.
Yeah, it snarls up traffic a bit but I don't mind slowing down and enjoying it.

Also, LOfrigginL at the guy who put the giant grinch up, sounds like a guy I would get along with.
