I used to have a neighbor who hated that we fed deer. In particular, we were rehabilitating some very badly injured deer. The neighbor called the cops on us. Every time he saw the deer in our yard. Sometimes it would be three in the morning and every single time, the cop said it’s their property and they can do what they want. The neighbor made us miserable, until he finally gave up. We were extremely afraid of him, but the deer were rehabilitated and moved on. However, he was on our ass about them until we moved for other reasons.

2 points. we should not feed wild animals and yes, deer carry deer ticks and will bring a very real threat of lyme disease.

Yes and those ticks can carry other terrible diseases as well. Sadly, mice are also big carriers of ticks. Whenever we have a fox family move into the neighborhood for a few months the number of ticks we find goes way down. 3 cheers for foxes! And surprisingly opossums eat lots of ticks!

[@marymiller9870]

@user-fc1gq5xd9e• 0:05 I’m very curious as to just how close your family gets to these wild animals? Four family members infected? I’m not being ugly, just pointing out that maybe outdoor type groups should be more attentive to how they are dressed and prepared with preventative tick and insect repellents, or 0:05 maybe look closer to home. This does come from someone diagnosed but untreated in time with RMSF (during high Covid lab activity) . Ticks can tend hang around on trees, grasses, living things or inanimate. I’ve seen people dress and eat deer covered in ticks. Just made me nauseous. Prevention is all important. Domestic or wildlife . ✌️💕

Just sayin’ but if you want to attract large animals, you should move to the countryside and buy a large parcel of land. I kinda agree with the Lyme disease reason for not attracting deer to the neighborhood. The lady and her husband should’ve been sensitive to the health of their neighbors. Before anyone jumps in and says the reaction of the neighbor was unjustified. I agree with you.

[@Tranquility32]

Hi! Indeed, the country is full of wildlife. My dear Mom came face to face (almost nose to nose!) with a large black bear that was napping under our deck over the summer. He grunted at her and she slowly backed away and ran into the house. Having spent a large part of my life in rural areas, and not hearing much at all about Lyme disease cases, I really don’t worry about it. We just check ourselves carefully for any ticks. But for people who maybe aren’t comfortable around wildlife, I can understand why they’d feel the way they do about it. Take care!

Had Neil called the police and then gone out the front door with the shotgun and not pointed it but told his wife to come inside, he might have had a defense claiming that he thought Todd was reaching for a gun! The moment he snuck out a window and hid in the shadows at the corner of his house he screwed up! The only reason to do things the way he did was for the element of surprise, he wanted to remain unseen to get lined up for a shot! I think he snapped and felt like he was being punished with the restraining order and his beef with the neighbor was now affecting his wife and kids. He knew when he climbed out the window that he was going to put an end to the situation once and for all!

That feels like a bit of a stretch for conviction involving premeditation. People often keep a loaded gun in their home for defense, and with the police failing to do anything about Todd threatening to kill his neighbors (also a crime in Minnesota), I'd sail Neil was justified for keeping a loaded shotgun. It really seems to me that the New Brighton police were the ones who failed here. The unwarranted arrest of Neil's son based on unverified claims, in a bar that he was at prior to the arrival of the alleged victim. Not to mention Todd making so many more threats of death and violence and not being arrested.

Yes deer look cute to feed and watch but actually they can cause big problems such as eat all the vegetables and flowers you plant and bushes if it’s a drought season. Also, they do carry ticks, so it is a realistic concern, and they easily overpopulate in some places specially if they have enough food.

[@susan0208]

It's interesting how things can get so heated between neighbors. Then it turned into a pissing match between the men. It escalated to the point of a murder. Once you're that angry, the emotions take over and you legitimize in your own mind, that taking the law into your own hands is worth it. After you cool off and get sentenced to life in prison, you see the result of your emotional thinking. Probably even wonder how you'd ever justified what you did as okay! I've lived in my neighborhood for 32 years and there have been several riffs between neighbors over that time. Both parties usually see things from only their perspective, so nothing really changes. In my case, I've tried to resolve differences with my neighbor, but it usually doesn't change how he feels about it. At that point, I've chosen to drop the pursual of my opinion. I recognize that I've stated how I feel - regardless of the outcome. So in my mind, it's a no win situation. I don't take it as if I've given into their opinion, but rather that we're at a stalemate. It boils down to feeling that you tried and nothing changed. But if you continue pushing the issue, you are then part of exacerbating the situation which will not have a good ending. Unfortunately, too many people think "it's my way or the highway" so they can't see that there are two sides to the argument and continuing it won't change a thing. We need to change our attitude about differences. Our country is very divided over many opposite views/issues. It's not a healthy mindset and it's caused a lot of unnecessary division. There's truth in the saying, "Divide and conquer". Once divisiveness becomes the #1 outcome, there's nothing good that comes from that way of thinking. ---Done with rant---

I remember this episode of Fear Thy Neighbor. I’m always glad to live in the country! ;)

Oh my lord, this happened less than 2 miles from where I grew up and I was unaware of this case.

I went to maps and navigated Knollwood Dr. Its beautiful semi rural MN and there is snow everywhere for most of the pictures. Poor Jennifer. Lives with a guy slowly pickling his life away with booze, lives across from a guy with nothing better to do than be a massive dk to his neighbors. All she wanted to do was feed some animals.

Neil was free to own his firearms and think anyone was going for their belt at any time. The problem here was purely not enough guns. If everyone was carrying this wouldn’t have happened.

Pls analyze the case of 8 yr old Chad Choice of Tyler, TX. His killer tormented Chad’s family yrs after the murder by sending them some of Chad’s bones. I’d like to hear your opinion on this killer

Deer Lord this was a tragic one! I agree that feeding deer could bring Lyme to the area. I've lived in areas where Lyme is spread that way. But he shouldn't have shot those dear deer people though.

I'm a lifelong gun owner and hunter. You don't accidentally shoot a gun four times. A shotgun (and guns legal for civilians to own in general) requires you to lift your finger off the trigger in order to be able to fire again, and if it was a pump action you'd also have to rack it before each time you fire. Regardless you NEVER EVER have your finger on the trigger of any firearm unless you're ready to fire. This was no accident or spur of the moment impulse. This man knew what he was doing the entire time, and has no defense for what he did.

Oh deer! This was your funniest yet!!! Rofl!!

[@Optics2024]

It’s actually difficult to say who was in the right or wrong (before the shooting) personally I’d say let the neighbors feed the deer, and if it bothers you make a deterrent around the edge of your property to make sure they don’t encroach into your space. It was always unlikely the ones feeding the deer would stop because of his request. So unfortunately you just have to make the most of a bad situation and accept that’s what they’re going to do.

People suck and most of them are crazy. I can see both sides of this dispute and can understand why someone would flip their shit. Very sad it came to this, but the lesson here is to always be a good neighbor.
