Pictures of Mohammad on everyone’s front lawn?

Maybe you can scare them away.

Never even knew you were dating. Congratulations.

But, Rigamorole is right:

Agreed. MYOB is the order of the day. And if you can’t, then YOU are the problem.

NEWS FLASH: You are NOT the police. You aren’t trained/qualified to be a cop, you have no oversight board or controls like they do. Nobody vetted you or approved you to be anything of that nature.  
So. You don’t get to pick and choose who lives where… and you don’t get to dole out “consequences”. :dubious:

If you do try to dole out ANYTHING, then maybe the police NEED to be in your neighborhood more often and maybe they need to be looking Much more closely at You. :dubious:

My first thought on reading that having police come to your neighborhood ‘had consequences’ was “Scaring away your drug customers?” 🙂

Me? I don’t even dole out pineapple. The consequences of the cops coming into our neighborhood will be from the police themselves. Worst case I see is them arresting one of our neighbors’ inebriated belligerent guests. Even that hasn’t happened yet, though it was a near thing.

The only thing we’re doing to get these neighbors to move is pray for them to find a buyer. And pointlessly vent on the Intertoobz.
