UNTIL AND UNLESS YOU ARE ASKED a direct question keep your mouths off each other. Not the first time I've heard that tonight. But she might wind up getting arrested, so you might as well keep that door open. This is calm. You want to see uncalm? like this to me. I'll come over Because you came over here and I told you to step back and you didn't. Now. Now. >> I'm not trying to fight you. You're nobody. I'm a good guy.

That's what I had to deal with. That's what she exactly what she did to me. >> So what happened with the fence? >> Um I woke up at 4:00 in the morning cuz the dog or whatever time it is right now, her dogs are arguing I mean her dogs are barking and acting like fools. So I asked her to put her dogs up and this is how she acted towards me. She scratched me in the face and called me a [ __ ] and a and then she goes. >> Like how did she start? >> won't stop. You see she tried to jump over the fence. No, it's not. This is what she did to me in the backyard. >> So what happened was as soon as I show up she's already out here. He came up here. He came out. So my concern was that they were going to So that's why I went to him and got him on his side. >> They they keep coming on my property. They won't leave me alone. Since I moved here, they keep coming on my line like it's theirs. And then I've been nice enough to try to be nice, you know. And then all of a sudden she wants to call people names like I literally live next door. I've been here for a month and they stalk me. He will go behind here. This is why I have a fence. I just put this fence up here. He will go all the way back there and watch everything I [ __ ] do. I don't do anything but go to work and come home. But he literally stalks me, bro. Him and his wife. So I had asked them nicely cuz it's 4:00 or 3:00 whatever time it is. I was literally sleeping. Your dogs do this every day. I'm getting tired of it. So I asked him very nicely to change their dogs and this is the reaction that I get. >> That's right. >> [ __ ] and all the other names. Why they got to be [ __ ] because I asked you to take your dogs? I knew this was going to happen. I didn't want to call it have to deal with the cops or anything like that. >> We understand.
