I think using "terrorizing" is bastardizing the English language.
Annoying.
Upsetting.
Irritating.
Disturbing.

The complaining neighbors of his traditional, if over the top Christmas display got exactly what they deserved. It's like people complaining because of a rowdy New Year's Eve party going on next door- Really? Folks can't celebrate once in a while in how they see fit?

Too much is too much. Sorry but the guy is being a douche to be a douche. Boo hoo my neighbors don't like my over the top holiday decorations and they complained so I'll show them and be a douchebag the whole year.

It's odd that the township is being so passive about taking care of the problem. It says this has been going on for six years. Ridiculous.

This type of thing has been deemed by several court decisions, as trying to stop him doing it, is infringement in free speech. We have the right to make displays that offend some people, as long as they stay within certain guidelines such as no: sexual offensive displays. Are not racist, etc.

The neighbors forced him to not put up dramatic Christmas Decorations, so he said, to H*** with it, and went just the opposite to retaliate. His neighbors just do not like him, and no matter what he did is not acceptable.

This is an angry guy and not your typical Christophobic war on Christmas

To find the real war on Christmas one must look to those guardians of tolerance who believe that they can define tolerance with exceptions.

Exceptions?

I saw this on the news. This guy is a total jerk who is basically harassing the neighbors, making their lives a nightmare and devaluing everyone's property, apparently in retaliation for someone complaining about his light show (they wanted to have dinner without the blinking spotlights on them).

He puts up offensive disgusting displays and signs year round and shines spotlights into their homes at 3am. This has nothing to do with Xmas--he does this all year. I don't know why they don't sue him. The guy is nuts.

Ross Township has been through so much, I do not know if they want to be aggressive on this particular case. Also, there are no local police there.
