Death threats

[rudolph]

I have had a couple horrible experiences with some POS down the road who is well known to the law, I have never had anything to do with him until lately, when he basically sed when I am out for my evening jog he is going to kill me, I have no idea what I have done and I don't event want to ask.

Whats the best thing to do in this situation? I can expect retaliation if I do anything,

[Berries]

Give up jogging.

[AllanB]

Jogging is not going to cut it. You need to learn to run, fast, very fast.

[Yokomama]

Fuck that’s rough. Can you not go past his house?

[tigertim20]

Give up jogging.

I was going to say fuck his wife and slit his throat,
but your solution is far safer and more diplomatic.

[rudolph]

yip I am never going out on the road alone ever,

[MD]

Jokes aside there are some serious disturbed people in our society these days capable of anything with little or no provocation or reason. Best try and avoid the shit for a while. Worse if he knows where you live. So many dickheads seem to carry knives these days and don't comprehend the consequences of using them in anger.

If he keeps it up though or escalates his behaviour I think it's time to speak to Mr Plod. Best of luck. And thanks for proving me right that jogging is bad for your health.

Talk to your community constable....

It wont achieve anything but it will be added to his crimes... Its actually illegal to threaten to kill people... (I mean who knew)

Cynical. Cynical but funny.:laugh:

[rudolph]

Tell us the FULL story.

There is nothing to tell, I have driven round him when he was standing in the road and been jogging past him, any normal person wouldn't have done anything

[GazzaH]

So why are you jogging: is your motorbike broken?

[sidecar bob]

Dont peak out. Only a very small percentage of death threats are followed through with.
They probably think you are an undercover cop. Meth users are usually a bit paranoid.

[rudolph]

I wont be jogging for a wile and riding now

[caspernz]

Tell us the FULL story.

My first thought as well.

If it's out of the blue to receive this threat, talk to the blue team.

Years ago one of the US papers, the Washington Post or the New York Times, did an article on the previous 100 mass shootings. Most of the shooters had said what they intended to do. Not everybody who ever said it followed through, but the ones who did the deed had almost always announced it prior.

Reading that changed my attitude to what some might consider idle threats. The fact is that the idea has already occurred to this idiot.

[sidecar bob]

I think hes just a fuckin bully that thinks he can control people with a special skivvy and idle threats.

[nodrog]

......

Post on the internet.

[pritch]

Post on the internet.

Well, the carrying a semi automatic rifle option would appear to be off the table.

One of the things that happens after those event is someone comes out and says "i thought they was all talk."
David Grey and Stan Graham immediately spring to mind.


In January 1990, Gray threatened an assistant of the bookshop with what appeared to be a shotgun in a cardboard box
13 November, Te day of thre massacre he travelled into Dunedin, At the Continental Coffee Bar, he was served a cold pie, and became confrontational. After being asked to leave, he threatened the owners saying: "I'll be back, I'm going to get you. I'll blow you away

Stan Graham had a reputation for having a hot temper, but neighbours reckoned they could handle him.He threatened to kill Bill Jamieson from the dairy co-operative

Just read up on the port arthur killer he had this attached to his social welfare file
Martin tells me he would like to go around shooting people. It would be unsafe to allow Martin out of his parents' control"

Yep that fun is over.

Wow nobody has yet mentioned to call the police. Police won't do much for now but a verbal threat enough to go on their record.

If anything happens to you (directly or indirectly e.g. slashed tyres, vandalism) or anyone in the neighborhood, the police will be knocking on his door first.

Well done on mending your bike!

I walked to the bike shop once. Now I get a lift.

[Oakie]

.22 with a small mag might be an option. Just gotta wait and see I guess if that's the case, I'll be ditching my 15 shot and buying whatever remains legal.

And don't tell anyone but on the night of the Mosque attack, my rifle was removed from it's gun cabinet and spent the night inside.

[EJK]

Ah, I was scanning for keywords "police" hence didn't see it.

[husaberg]

I knew they were there and it took me a couple of looks.;)
What i can imagine happening, assuming the police do something, they will visit the complainant straight after leaving the offender, leaving the offender no doubt who dobbed in in.
Maybe a better course of action especially if the guy threatening the individual has form, is an anonymous tip off by letter to the police that the person has a AK47 and or a P lab.
Either that or maybe it a great test to see if he giving the guy the KB wave might work.

either sort it yourself with aforementioned weapons, or report it to the police, so at least if he does it again, or to someone else their might a chance they do something about it,

[Laava]

Absolutely report it to the cops, and then if something happens you will be in a better position to carry out the next step.

That's legal as long as it's in the same room as you, under your direct supervision so to speak.

[Jeff Sichoe]

Ignore him?

but also be ready to smack him in the head next time

31 SECTION 48 of the Crimes Act 1961 provides:

Everyone is justified in using, in the defence of himself or another, such force as, in the circumstances as he believes them to be, it is reasonable to use.

[HenryDorsetCase]

In the immortal words of Capt Christopher Pike....

[sidecar bob]

If he does successfully follow through, be sure to post in the thread to keep us in the loop.

[Swoop]

... keep us in the loop.
There's a loop?

What's the road condition like? Sealed, no loose gravel? Plenty of curves and tight corners???
Awesome!

[Temporary-Kiwi]

move, I've watched a few bad neighbour programs, or just avoid /ignore him, telling the police will only help after he's beaten your head in, if he's ganged up it'll make him really nasty....

[Madness]

A good stabbing with a fork often works wonders. Arteries are your friends.

Lodge a report with police.
You don't need to press charges if you don't want to but it's something that can go on file.

[XSive Kiwi]

I fuckin hate bullies! And I don't intimidate easily. Take no shit from them. Keep a bat or similar implement near your front door and at the merest hint of aggression from him use it with extreme prejudice!
My experience with people like him is that they are weak and need their friends to back them up. They normally back down when confronted.
Of course, if you choose to confront him be prepared to back yourself!

[pritch]

The Police have intel files in which they keep all sorts of information about people they are interested in. Not stuff that could be used in court necessarily, but information which helps paint a picture. Sounds like they'd be at least a bit interested in this dude.

Na they are too busy trying to find those guns that were nicked from their Palmy cop shop.

[avgas]

Ask him if everything is ok. His wife might have left with his dog or something.

If he simply tells you to fuck off - fuck off.

If he threatens you again, burn his house down. Then eat and apple an say "revenge is sweet".
