Its really sad that one neighbor had to take matters into his own hands to get the police to pay attention. Let me explain… The father of one of the young men shot has for years harassed and terriozed his neighbors. I was 17 when he started harassing me. I was sitting on a blanket with my infant son when he let his 2 shepard dogs out. They stood over me and the baby growling. I yelled for my brother and hd did what he could to get the dogs to leave. He stood in his yard laughing. Im now 46 and the feud with this man goes on. If you are sitting in your yard he will walk over and just stare at you until you get up and go back into your home. He goes in your mailbox, look thru binoculars so you have no privacy and brags after he has poison your family’s dog. I can go on and on but it would take to long. CALLpolice and he acts like nothings happen. The sad part to all of this is we will loose to good friends that grew up together and that strange neighbor will still be harassing others and causing problems.
Pepsi is correct. I live on that street also. The father acts as if he is so innocent, but if you notice when he was interviewed on WESH he referred to the Thomas’ as “organized crime”? That gives you an idea of what type of mindset we are dealing with. What person would describe their neighbor as “organized crime.” This man is the reason behind the feud.
Corey is no angel, but this man has been provoking Corey and his family and others for YEARS. The good thing about it is all of the neighbors have been calling the police about this man for years. Every time this man would see Corey, this man would flash his gun at Corey… EVERY SINGLE TIME.
This man is a bully and a neighborhood nuisance. This man will call the police if he sees someone’s vehicle parked across the sidewalk… we don’t have a “true” home owners association. Yes, there is a statute that says the sidewalks should not be blocked, but then that rule has to be enforced everywhere, not just on one or two streets. This man will go from house to house checking for expired license plates (including pulling covers off of cars,) checking to see whose grass needs cutting, whose garbage bin is still out after the garbage truck goes by, etc. This man has been harassing everyone for over 30 years. The police have been called and called and called and they said they can’t do anything because they didn’t see anything. His wife packed up and left him YEARS ago because she couldn’t deal with his nasty attitude and mean and spitefulness; not to mention his kids don’t want anything to do with him either. He has driven so many people out of the neighborhood and out of their wits, it’s unbelievable. This is going to sound really bad but it’s true—-it’s been said for years, when this man dies there will be the biggest block party in history because we will finally be at peace.
The police refused to listen, and now there’s been a shoot out, and so who’s partially at fault? I understand that no one is perfect and I’m not a cop hater by any stretch of the means, but when neighbors have been complaining about someone for years and you refuse to listen or get involved….I’m sorry, I feel you are partially responsible. Parish was only doing what the other children wouldn’t and couldn’t do, which was to try to take care of a grumpy, unhappy, old soul and I’m sure Parish knew what he was getting into when he decided to move back home. But this has gone too far… This man’s evilness has caused him to loose his son….and 1st chance he gets, he’s going to blame it on Corey. And if we thought he was a bully before, now he’s really going to be acting up.
Again, Corey is no angel, but he was provoked. Good thing about this is that everyone is more than willing to speak up about what has been going on for all of these years.
I just pray that we all remain safe and it’s probably a good idea that we stay inside and not leave our children outside unsupervised. I love and prayers are with Parish’s family, and I pray that they are able to cope some how. He did not deserve this (no one does.)
