That is all we get? What is that, like a teaser? For being one that is gifted in writting you would think...

Sorry. I put a lot of the details on FaceBook. Okay, I was napping on the couch Sunday afternoon. When I woke up I heard this yelping outside. I thought maybe my dog had gotten her leg caught in something. I went out the back, but it wasn't her. It was a woman's voice. I could also hear some yelling. So I went back in looking for a phone in case I needed to call 911. I couldn't find one. Then I went to the front yard. There's an old lady that lives next door to us with her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. She's a Mexican lady and she was carrying on about somebody going to kill somebody else. I heard the commotion going on from next door and I poked my head around the corner not knowing if someone had a gun or something. I saw the son hitting the dad in their driveway. I yelled at him to knock it off. The dad told me to go call the police. Then the son runs up and gets in my face and tells me to stay out of it. He tells me that it's his father and he has been terrorizing him and his mom their whole lives. He said that his dad was from Iraq and he was a bleeping terrorist. At this point the father tried to go over to my other next door neighbor's because they're really good friends (both from Iraq), but nobody was home. Then he told me again to call the sheriff. I went inside and told my wife to call 911. Apparently someone else already did, too. They got their not too long after that. They arrested the son and took my statement. There's more to it than that, but that's the most exciting stuff anyway.

Sounds like a pretty rough neighborhood. Its a good thing you've got your 22. That'll show em who's boss.

That is some drama right there. Here comes Burt to save the day.

Sounds like you need to start packing heat or at least mow the lawn without a shirt on a couple times. That will give that thug kid neighbor of yours a good idea of who he is messing with.

NOTHING is official until it is on facebook. I totally believe you since you had to post it on fb first. haha.

From Burt on Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 19:56:10 from 206.19.214.144

I have a weapon of choice, but I fear this information may get leaked out when and if I have to testify in court, so I'll keep it to myself.

KP - everything is true on facebook.
