You want to know just how crazy the Greens are? How about this?

[polaris93]

One of my neighbors was having a shouting match with a Green down in the parking lot this morning. The Green was ranting that "All humans ought to be fed into the ovens! Humans ought to become extinct

Funny, I'd have just said, "If you really believe that, why are you still here making more carbon dioxide?"

Something that reasonable doesn't get through to them. Besides, this individual has been harassing us for some time, yelling at us that his confreres in the Green movement will finally get their way someday and kill everyone over the age of 50. That sort of threat doesn't exactly leave one peaceful and reasonable.

[cutelildrow]

I'd be careful of him in the coming colder months. He seems the sort who'd figure out ways to cut power and heating access to apartment buildings, so people inside will freeze to death.

Seriously though, bunch of older folk can't ask the cops to get rid of him based on harrassment?

As I told someone else who commented on this post, the police are going to start patrolling this area on bicycles, though it's because there have been frequent incidents of teenagers getting drunk and converging down the street in a mob and throwing rocks through windshields. They'll patrol at night and in the day. If this Green comes back, they'll tell him to leave. If he doesn't, he'll get ticketed. If he doesn't show up in court, they'll put out a warrant on him for contempt of court, and eventually they'll catch him and jail him. Plus, he may be associated with somebody who's on the lam because a few years ago, he set 50,000 minks in mink ranches in a different part of the state loose in Autumn, to "free" them from the mink ranches. Those that didn't die in the cold or starve to death devastated the wildlife there. They're still looking for him. If the bozo who harassed us is associated with him, they'll have a better chance of finally corraling the "mink liberator" for good.

That Green probably really is CRAZY!

[polaris93]

There are a lot of them that are at least that crazy around here. So far, the bastard's rants have never gone beyond words, and he has been careful not to cross legal lines, so getting him arrested hasn't been possible. But somebody thinks he may have worked with another Green who let loose 50,000 ranch mink in another part of the state one Autumn. Those mink that didn't starve to death or die in the cold devastated the local wildlife. The mink ranchers and other people who live in the area are still looking for him. If this other idiot, the one who's been harassing us, does have some sort of connection to that one, maybe we can get something done about him.

Awww. You got the interesting Greens. Ours in Atlanta are just ever-so-earnest about recycling and inevitably drive a Prius (smugly!). [And tend to have the worst lawn in the neighborhood.]

And the Prius's muffler is badly in need of replacement, the car smokes like a dirty chimney, and the lawn is filled with kudzu.

Seriously, that one sounds like a raving nutter. Politics aside, be careful.

Yes. Some people here think he's associated with another Green who is on the lam because a few years ago, he loosed 50,000 ranch mink in another area in this state. It was Autumn, and those mink that didn't die in the cold or starve to death devastated the wildlife there. Their still looking for the bastard. If this guy is associated with him, maybe we can get something done.

Re: Have to disagree slightly. :)

"And the Prius's muffler is badly in need of replacement, the car smokes like a dirty chimney, and the lawn is filled with kudzu." Nope. [For one thing, I don't think any Prius has been on the road long enough to develop muffler problems.] Remember, the Prius is a fairly new hybrid - these folks keep them in PERFECT condition in the name of minimizing pollution. It's the "smug" part of the whole thing that sets everyone's teeth on edge.

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as an "anti-smug" compounds, or a smug-repellant, or "Smug-Off®". {sigh}

Their yards are all native plantings with no use of fertilizer/pesticide...so they naturally aren't as "pretty" as their neighbors with the (non-native) fescue receiving a twice-weekly bath in a complex chemical blend of fertilizer, targeted herbicides, pesticides and GREEN DYE. [I really can't disagree with this idea. Low maintenance drought-tolerant native plantings without insanely expensive "life support" supplementation? Great...but it never will win "yard of the month." Does make it

[mosinging1986]

People like this are scary. It seems all you can do is try to avoid them. Trying to reason with them sure gets nowhere!

[polaris93]

Well, we may finally get some action on it. Lately in the evenings or late at night, teenagers have been congregating down the street, throwing rocks at the windshields of cars. The cops are going to start patroling here on bicycles, to keep an eye on things, including during the day. If they see the Green that's been bugging people out there, they'll run him off.

[mosinging1986]

Oh, that's good. I mean, it's a shame it has to be done in the first place, but it's not right that good citizens can't feel safe in their own neighborhood because of other people's stupid behavior. Glad something's being done about it at least.

[polaris93]

They'll ask him to move along. If he doesn't, they'll ticket him. If he doesn't show up in court, they'll put out a warrant for him on contempt of court charges, and if he shows up here again, he'll end up in jail.

What bothers me is that there are others like him out there, the ones you don't see or hear until it's too late.

[mauser]

Serious red flags in his language. "You humans don't deserve to make up for your crimes! And Mother Earth ought to be punished for allowing you to evolve!"

He does not consider himself to be a part of humanity.

I would have said "You first!" to him, but because of this, it wouldn't even make sense to him, as a Green, he is "above" humanity.

[polaris93]

Yep. If I see him coming, I'll cross the street or do whatever is necessary to avoid him, because I think this idiot is on the verge of the sort of meltdown that can involve axes and other weapons of mass destruction. However, the cops are going to start patrolling around here on bicycles because of the rash of incidents involving drunken teenagers heaving rocks through windshields of cars parked along our street, and if they see him, they'll run him out or bust him.

[brezhnev]

My words exactly: "You first!"

[polaris93]

As much of a lunatic as that idiot is, and the way he harasses people, one of these days somebody may pump him full of buckshot and/or great big lead slugs. Maybe he's trying to commit "suicide by being an asshole."
