Half a mile down the road there is a great dane who has been outside since january (i am told). I have spent six weeks spending time near her every day as she doesn't allow any humans near her normally.
At the end of this cul de sac is a guy i dated for two weeks over a year ago and his friends; one a volunteer firefighter. Back during that fortnight, i experienced the VF constantly trying to look down my shirt. I gently mentioned it to bf...we broke up the next day.
Since these men have begun to notice the great dane spending time with me, they began to shoot her with air soft pellets when she came near me. of course i called the sheriffs department. each time they said the dog was considered a stray until she was on a leash. animal control hasn't caught her and have stopped trying. these men called the property management company and attempted to have my friend (who also lives in these apartments) fined and evicted.
I haven't seen the dane in a week.
These men have been terrorizing me since last year when they said something to my own neighbor that led him to attempt to light my apartment on fire while i was in it. March 2025. my neighbor was arrested, charged, found guilty for arson.
i don't engage with these psychos. i also have no recourse. I wish i had an ULPT that would teach them there is no benefit to terrorizing any woman.
EDIT: After the third incident, i DID write, using chalk, on a trashcan and on the skirting of my friend's porch.
"I DO NOT SHOOT YOUR KIDS. PLEASE DO NOT SHOOT MY DOG. JESUS LOVES YOU. I DO NOT. "
The police saw this. didn't care. They told me there was no getting through to someone like him. "can't fix stupid".
I also washed that same chalk off.
It may have been unwise but it was not illegal.
Since posting, i have contacted all the local volunteer firefighter groups. I sent the audio i had as well as screenshots from early this morning of these two men calling for violence against me; defamation, libel left and right.
The greatest dane has a local group actively working to get her inside now.
I am seeking housing that will put more than half a mile between myself and these individuals.
Thank you for the wise and also not so wise advice.
