Dispute between neighbours ends in violence

“Part 2
The day of the incident i was putting refuse out when the man and his friend came out the usual abuse started he left through the gate but when on the otherside of the fence he shout "im gonna do your wife " repeatedly, i snapped, i went to the fence tried to grab at him he kept his distance spitting at me i grab a rock blindly in rage and threw it (by the way there is no rockery these rock where use to prop open the security/firedoors for strangers to come and go at all hours and while dogs where left outside unattended) it was the size of a honey dew lemon. fortunatly for me it missed but angered both the men one jumped the fence and the named man came in the back gate and trapped me by the back entrance the named man smashed one or our kitched windows with his fist . Others had gathered from the flats making 4 in total "they suggested " we fight it out in the grass, i refused , 4-1 not likely then the named man punch around one guy hitting me in face i pushed back in anger this is when he picked an object up from the garbage on the refuse bin and threw it , i went down immediatly, when i looked up all but the perp were running i was bleeding profusely i was faint and dizzy the object had cut my head open just under the hair line and was about 5 inches long no punch could have done , the man was back and to panicing he was going when i asked him to call an ambulance as i was bleeding out it took him about 5 mins before he rang (ill give him that) he told me his name was david and that he did not mean it and tried to get me to shake hands to say it was all over and sorted i had no choice but to concur as i was vunerable and injured eventually the paramedic arrive and with a swift goodbye "i got to go" this man whos name i only knew as david left hastity, i was scared i lied to the paradmedic and only revealed the truth while at the hospital. we left and went to the police station where i told them what ive told you. the next day i was threatened by another neigbour upstairs , the one with the dog we were desperate and vulnerable. 3 weeks later we had a phone call saying we had been matched to a property , "matched " not move by managerial decission which we thought it was nievly , we view and took the property and i started to move us out asap boxing all and transporting in car getting a removal company for the rest. I reget only 2 things my actions and leave one of our neighbours behind she cried knowing that she would be left alone to endure that which we would have and if it was within my power i would see her safe.

I regard this as freedom of speech to say my piece when i could not i do not like whats been writen and im believe im entitaled to a rebuttle . I am no saint ive made mistakes i do not justify my actions only ask that do u know yourself well enought to know what u would do under such duress and im sorry i could not have resolved this with the man involved but if the circumstances ever across again and someone was in need of help i will go to them .”

“Hi
my name is Robin Wilkins there is 2 parts to this judge for yourself .
After reading this i felt that some truth needed to be told. My wife moved in to said location 14 months before we got married then i moved in .We and other neighbours we subject to constant problem form those upstairs which ranged from drug , alcohol and nosie abuse ppl banging on our windows at all hours wanting to be let in dogs fouling in share garden rubbish thrown out of windows and left furniture dumped ,the constant arguing and screaming that persisted out side our door and basiclly a total lack of any respect for those below .My wife and i were permently in a state of depression and constantly on edge , community pride were involded,shore line informed and the police where contacted who refered us back to community pride and shoreline , by now in the background we were bidding on other properties to escape , letters were sent to all residents regarding issues and im sure u can guess what happened next ... yep it got worse only this time it was more directed towards those on the ground floor. ok so this is a narrow view of life on the ground floor . Now for what started all of this and before i go any further id like to say that some of my actions were shameful i agree and i informed the police about my behaviour when i gave my statement and the said man was not open to resolution , i suffer from mental illness and have done so since being diagnosed some 9 years ago infused with the enviroment we were living in and what im about to tell u next you may understand how i became unhinged , again i do not condone my actions . One night the shouting and screaming was particullarily intense from our livingroom i heard a females voice " you cant handle that u cheated on me" and a males voice " ill do u , ill do u" by now id become very agilated when i heard a female voice scream , that was if for me i rushed to the door and went outside there was a male pinning a girl just outside the door way in the corner her head was turned away in fear from the man the security door was open i went to it and said to the man "comon mate this is not worth it " with that he turned on me "i was only whispering to her " ,"mind you own buisness" and he step infront of me. For right or for wrong i grabbed him by his jacket pulling him towards me and told the girl to go , she did so hastily. I unfortunatly ripped this mans jacket , from here on things got worse, another flat resident came down from upstairs with his dog whom was not leashed, i kept the man outside focused on me long enough for the female to have gotten away without reprisal, the man was as u can imagine verbally threatning and at one point brandished a black nuckle duster i withdrew in to our flat with threats or reprisal from this man . Over the period of time till the said incident my wife and i the property , my car were under threatened and in a number of these incidents i was so irrational and enraged that i rallied to the mans threats and goads and we had a number of scuffles, no real fighting was done and rather pathetic of us both this was getting neither of us nowhere.”

“so,...now we all know what not to do if someone throws a ROCK at you,the magistrate thinks ..I dont know what, ignore it,turn the other cheek,you talking GY and what you do is defend your self”

“Ya reckon CodWarrior? I was unfortunate enough to live next door to one of these guys and it was a nightmare,music playing all night,people coming and going at all hours,crashing and banging about and the police being regular visitors!
Thank God we moved to a quieter area out of town and dont have this c**p to put up with any more!”
