I feel for you. I don't understand why some parents allow their troubled children to wreck a neighborhood. The child is not being helped, the parents are miserable and so are many if not all the neighbors. As a parent, I want to protect and save my children. And some parents get sucked into the dysfunction so deep, they don't have the time or energy to think about the total impact. But to put up with what he is doing, what kind of life is that for anyone?
I would keep calling the police, code enforcement or anyone else who can help. Good luck to you. I would be royally p.o.'d.
If he were the kind of guy that could keep to himself there wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately he thinks he's the King of the World and has to exercise control over everyone around him in order to feel validated. For this guy, either you enable him, or you are subject to his wrath.
Sounds like you want to exercise control over your neighbor. I don't know what you expect leo or his father to do. He stares at you, so what? He yells, so what?
I'm not getting why this is your problem.

Only in so much as it affects my ability live peacefully.
Let me ask you this: if someone with a history of assaults, fighting and meth abuse indicated he was "coming to get you" would you or your loved ones find that threatening in any way?

If someone threatened me, and I thought them capable of acting on it, I'd call the police. If you have any evidence of his intent to harm you, then you can get a restraining order.
So this is about you being afraid for your life? What exactly did this person do, and what does the father say? I ask again, what do you expect the father to do for you?

Not true. Already tried that. I expect this person to continue abusing drugs until they've reached a state of psychosis and whomever happens to be around them at that point could be harmed.
The truth of the matter is the kid will end up probably in an inpatient facility longer term, in jail or dead. These things just usually end in these ways. But, the time factor, who knows?
The kid is in his mid 40's. His parents are enablers unwilling to le go and let him fall, hard.
They, like many in this sort of situation, are quite capable of loving their adult child to an early grave.

It's still not clear if you are worried about what might happen or something he is actually doing. Regardless, seek counsel from an attorney.

Yes, and it's borderline. What he's done is threatening, but it's more the combination of threatening behavior along with the very obvious deterioration in his mental state. The escalation, whatever that might be, is what we'd like to avoid. He's gone from 80% lucid/rational to under 10% in about 2 months. Even his staunchest enablers are starting to recognize he isn't well.
