Well, yesterday I saw the bastard for the first time since the incident. Mike and I were both outside conversing with neighbors. The Creepy Neighbor Man didn't even glance in our direction, which was good. I want to spit on him.
I received a call from the Williamson County Attorney last week. She asked me what I thought should happen to this guy. Of course I said, "I think he should receive the maximum punishment!" I mean, he live across the street from me. It's not like he was just some random person. I had done some research and his "crime" is classified as a Class B misdemeanor. The max jail time is 180 days. The County Attorney informed me that since this was Creepy Neighbor Man's first offense, he would only probably spend a couple of months in jail. She stated she is going to go for one year's probation. A stipulation of the probation will be that if Creepy Neighbor Man makes any contact with me whatsoever, his probation will be revoked and he will go to trial.
The County Attorney asked me if I would be willing to testify. Well, hell yeah. I'm not going to let that guy beat me down. I want him to know that I'm serious. God help him if he even smiles at me. And as usual, the cops don't do anything until someone really gets hurt. Nevermind that Creepy Neighbor Man was determined to do something to me. If I hadn't stopped him in the act, what would have happened? Would I have been raped? Murdered? Who knows. So he gets probabation. The only good point is that he will have to think about it for a year. Other than that, it's kinda sucky. If something does happen to me, guess you'll all know who did it. There won't be any mystery there.

He needs his ass kicked. And certain boy parts removed. Cops suck...At least the county is trying to do SOMETHING. The whole first offense thing is a crock. The laying in the yard of your neighbor should be counted as an offense of some kind. Then again maybe being reprimanded will scare him enough to not mess with people. Jail would definitely get the point across to me! And probation is like being on a leash. Hopefully he'll get the idea and not look in the direction of your house EVER AGAIN.
Maybe you could put a stockade in his yard and put him on display for a weekend.
I think you are within your rights to put a big sign up in your yard that says "Jimbo at 123 Elm is a crazy, psycho, wack job who tried to assault his neighbor on mm/dd/yy" in huge letters. You could put it up until a neighbor complains. Then you take it down. Then you put it back up the next day and repeat until the Homeowner's association complains. Then you should leave it down. Homeowner's Association rights seem to trump 1st Ammendment guarantees.
I would be giving the HOA grief. Tell them by allowing him to live there that they are condoning the actions or thieves, rapists, and murderers.
I side with Brian as well. Get the public pressure on him.
