Guy spends 2 years destroying disabled neighbours ring doorbells
Non-PublicWhen the marker did nothing🤡
Hey now, that was some serious stealth. No one will ever be able to figure out it was him
It’s clear he gives zero fucks
Amazing how after someone commits the same crime in a regular basis for 2 fucking years with 0 consequences, they stop giving a fuck.
Police and judiciary are not there to protect the citizens.
Yeah, hahaha. Like he purposely makes sure he's completely out of frame
But only AFTER walking through it twice
Yeah, why not come at night dressed in bulky clothing and a mask.
What an absolute pos and the marker is icing on the cake for this douche bag
Ring should pay the owner to use this as a promotion of the doorbell's resilience
Coming soon — The new Ring Doorbell: Now with Mace!
I read that as "with A mace" and imagined a mace swinging down from the ceiling on this bitch lol
Next . . . the taser modification.
The goggles, they do nothing.
It was his grand plan was to make it look like it wasn't him, just saunter by like it could've been anyone trying to black out the camera. It's like he's slowly getting smarter, yet can't get the one idea that will save him a lot, leaving his neighbor alone.
People underestimate the field of view on these things.
If he left her alone then how would the WALL DEMON STOP SCREAMING ABOUT THE GODDAM HALLWAY CAMERA!!! I FUCKING KNOW SHE REINSTALLED IT YOU ASS!!! Ok, ok, hand me whatever is in the junk drawer. First thing you pull out. Yeah. I SAID I WAS GOING WALLY!!!! - This guy probably
I think he was just trying to get creative.
He's going to have to try a lot harder with that look
If you are old enough, you might remember we used to use those dry markers as erasers in classes lol
I dont get how a restraining order isnt getting this fool thrown in jail. You have clear video evidence of him disregarding that restraining order.
Good question. I wonder how much non-violent harassment you have to do to get jail time rather than a fine or rehab etc. I mean, I guess that would depend on the state, but I'm just wondering in general
The worst part is, wait til his family's or police's excuse is "we had no idea". Pathetic sometimes how much they pick and choose what to worry about.
My baby mama was arrested for less than this for a HRO violation, and is covered by a bond condition that would have her incarcerated until trial for any subsequent violations (which have been numerous but I've elected not to report them).
Laws vary but where I am the fact that this hasn't been prosecuted is wild.
Just because it's an option doesn't mean the prosecutor will choose to enforce it. They could have the same stipulation as your example but if nobody is willing to enforce it then it's meaningless.
It's stupidly hard for them to actually do something about fools like this, my neighbor takes pictures of my wife and kid, she takes videos of us anytime we're in our yard and is just a nasty woman in general. Apparently the entire neighborhood has called the cop's on her at some point in the past but she's just a fucking nut job, police come, tell her to knock it off but it only lasts for a few days.
I hear it works better if you ask nicely in their own bedroom in the middle of the night but that might just be rumors.
Trust me, the thought has crossed my mind. It takes absolutely no effort to not be a bitch, but she fucking excels at it.
The deal is not “never be bad to anyone” the deal is “never be bad to anyone who isn’t being bad to you”. Once that switch has been flipped, anything that’s not against the law or that you can’t get caught for is on the table.
Like making your dog poop in their yard every morning
Find out what your local noise laws are, then do some yard work with a loud stereo pointed directly at their house. Worked for me when I had loud neighbors. Bitch would scream at her kids at 6-7am every day, and at her husband the rest of the day. Told the rest of my neighbors what I was going to do, and pulled out my 1000w home stereo system. Put it on my front lawn and cranked the music for hours. I ended the session by yelling over to her, to shut the fuck up or I will do it every day.
It's been years and the neighborhood is still quiet.
If the neighborhood enjoyed your music taste then its a plus.
I had to put up with a peeping tom creep of a neighbor for YEARS with it triggering my ptsd from a prior stalking case and finally had to just pick up and move away because of the mental hell it put me through. People don't take this shit seriously until someone is attacked.
the system is so fucked up, like ppl are having to move away and uproot their life just to get away from psychopaths like this and be safe. It’s absolutely ridiculous. The dude in the video for example should go to jail for like 2-4 years and if he does it again when he’s out another 10 years etc.
it’s sick that pedophiles, rapists, harassers/stalkers and abusers hardly get any jail time if any while ppl get double the time as rapists get jus for buying or selling drugs.
Like yeah some dude smoking weed deserves more time than someone constantly harassing someone and putting their life in danger or a literal rapist..
shit is fucked, these scumbags need to be charged appropriately.
Buy some old video cameras at flea markets, and tripods. Give one to every neighbor with property next to hers. Aim them out their windows at her house. You're not recording anything, but she won't know that. At the same time make sure there is a ring camera or two keeping a real eye on her. Good chance she'll eventually escalate, The fake cameras aren't going to help, but maybe you can get her actually damaging property. Something truly actionable by the cops.
Thanks to the history, you've got a pretty solid legal defense for filming her, and if she is dumb enough to do anything you got her.
Or you can let this go on for the rest of the time you live near her and put up with it.
I should start hiring myself out to people like you... Nobody in your neighborhood knows me. They wouldn't be able to pick me out of a lineup. I could go all "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" for ya, and pay the cunt a visit. Pretend my car broke down, ask her if I could use her phone to call a tow, then smash the phone into bits. Never mention you or your family.
If she's old school and using a camera, that'll take a little more ingenuity. But I'm sure I can get a hi-vis vest, hard hat, pretend I'm from the gas company, and presto I have access to the house. I'll make sure I've stepped in ample amounts of dog shit, and when she's not looking kick my shoes off and nudge them under her sofa or something. If she's too busy tracking down the dog shit smell, she won't have time to pull her surveillance act on your family.
She threatened to call the police on me because I asked her if she had gotten a package mailed to me. It was delivered to my other neighbor, but I hadn't even stepped off my driveway. She also has notes on her doors and windows. One asking my wife and I to stop peeing in her yard, which I can say for sure my wife is using our bathroom 100% of the time. Another one on her front door is spelled magnificently, and declares that she is not interested in false prophets, salespeople and some other nonsense.
Just band together and call multiple welfare checks to her house. Say she was acting erratically earlier and wanted to make sure she was OK. Either she will get annoyed with the constant visits and stop or will trip up and get in trouble. This is actually a similar situation going on with one of my coworkers where they annoyed her enough that she sprayed their kid with the hose on their own property and filed assault and she now had a court date.
Psycho neighbor that only approaches the lines of the law but is well outside the bounds decency is a top 5 fear of mine.
Just make him disabled with a sledgehammer to the knee see how he likes using a walker
THE LATEST news on this:
Just weeks ago, he was found guilty of launching a campaign of harassment against his vulnerable neighbour and three carers who had to look after 61-year-old Mr Persaud. On February 28, he was sentenced to three counts of harassment without violence.
He was handed a 12 months community order, 20 days of rehabilitation and a 12-week curfew from 8pm to 6am where he would be electronically monitored. He was also given a two-year restraining order forbidding him from making contact with Mr Persaud and three of his carer victims. He was also ordered to pay compensation of £100 to three victims.
https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/im-terrified-familys-two-year-23658772
£100
That won't even pay for the fucking cameras?!
I was wondering about this as well. Like is that in addition to the cameras?
I vaguely remember signing up for something that covers stolen, or vandalized Ring cams. It's included with the $3 a month charge.
I could also be very wrong and have no idea why Amazon is taking $3 a month for Ring services.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Amazon also wants access to that video footage for their data purposes. Exactly why I will never use a cloud based system.
Pretty sure that Amazon owns Ring.
And blink
Have the older blink cameras. Ordered new ones to expand coverage because I liked them. The new ones shut off after 30 or 60 days if you don't pay monthly for cloud storage. Fuck that. I was pissed. They disabled all reviews for the things for months too, because of "unusual activity". Like no shit everyone's pissed that something which was previously as easy as sticking in a flashdrive for storage suddenly required a monthly fee and saving to a cloud. I returned them and overpaid for another set of the older models from eBay.
Ring devices that are stolen or vandalized are replaced for free for the lifetime of the product, whether or not you’re a subscriber. All you need is the police report.
Whatever hell Amazon eventually rains down on this guy will be way worse than anything the government could do.
3 months hard labour in one of their warehouses.
His spawn point was set there

That's not restitution. It's a slap in the face of the victims.
That's the UK for you.
Reminds me of Lindybeige, a youtuber, being awarded compensation of £15 for the damaging of a lock during the attempted theft of his bike. 6 years went by without it being paid, and then when the thief was jailed for another, more serious, offense they went through an appeal process for the £15. On the basis that since he was in prison he couldn't pay the fine. An entire appeal process and hearing with proper magistrates all for a 6 year old two digit fine.
If he's disabled and in the UK, that might mean others in his family bought them for him when they heard about it, so they might count as the owners in that case.
Depending on his situation and how much money he receives for his benefits amount, it might be a bit of a stretch to buy a new one multiple times in a short while, so to ensure his safety and catch this prick on camera, his family could have chipped in to get him more of them.
It wouldn't matter even if they had done that. In UK law if you gift something to someone they are now the owner. No takebacksies
Fun fact: Ring will replace your cameras for free if they are vandalised or stolen as long as you provide them with a police report number.
If it’s ring you get a lifetime warranty if it’s tampered with or stolen.
So then nothing….
If you want to hit the guy where it hurts make him forfeit his entire sweater wardrobe, he will be devastated.
What does "20 days of rehabilitation" mean? Is that like jail or probation?
I'd assume 20 classes of anger management or something like that.
Why the fuck wouldn’t they lock him up? Clearly these restraining orders are doing fuck-all. There might be even some mental health issues going on because this ain’t normal. Either way, poor fucking guy being harassed…
You section me..ill section you!!
If YOU try to section me, you will have crossed a line and I will section you, so help me...
Guys, don't argue. Let's all go for a pint at the Swan and Paedo.
I can't go there, there's a washing machine in the middle of the floor. I freaked out last time and could only calm down after several pints
What the FUCKS a washing machine doing in the middle of a pub??
Jesus, I need a drink.
Guys, you've had your fun with the sectioning.
There's going to be no more sectioning today.
They do the same and dumber shit with crazy stalkers in the USA all the time. So many women (mostly) dead because just getting a shitty basic stalking statue on the books in most states took FOREVER, and even after they enacted them, they are mostly minimal jail time even for longterm terrible shit.
Electronic monitoring would be a really good idea. If this guy in the UK still lives next door, not sure an ankle bracelet is going to give you enough notice since it'll take the name less than a minute to get to his neighbor's door.
It’s waaaay worse than you could even imagine. My partner went through this. Was stalked by a random guy, he got caught randomly(by looking creepy and suspicious), with a rape kit and videos he’d made saying he was going to kill her. Went to trial after 3years while facing 41years. He got 2years + time served. There’s even a documentary about the whole thing.
Fast forward, he’s on parole and they assign him a WOMAN. Not only that, but she looks EXACTLY like my partner… they just basically say “oh oopsie!” And reassign him. Couple months later we start getting phone calls with someone just breathing on the other end…
The system will not keep you safe.

And pay for a good class to learn how to use it
He’s gone. It sorted itself out.
Completely serious when I say that I didn’t do anything.
You don’t get to murder the defendant in a high profile nationally televised case involving your spouse unless you want to be charged instantly.
Yeah sadly they won't do anything to properly stop himuntil its too late, and someone ends up injured or dead.
This guy definitely has schizophrenia or something. Look at the dead blinkless look in his eyes while he’s doing it, like there’s not really anybody behind those eyes.
Big problem around the world is that there’s not enough mental health care out there for people like this. A guy in my town keeps getting admitted over and over again to the hospital and then released again but he just walks around town yelling random nonsense and then will enter business’ and yell nonsense at customers so the cops always get called and he ends up in the hospital only to be pushed out onto the streets again.
My first thought too. Dude likely is paranoid and think the camera js there to spy on him
They’ll go to great lengths to avoid locking someone up it seems. We have a nightmare neighbour (who was in the news a couple years back for biting a woman police officer), and he’s taken away in a police van every couple of weeks or so for various crimes. Then sure enough a few days later, he’s back and setting up yet another bonfire on our grass.

I thought it was obvious that this dude has some type of mental illness.
Unless the handicapped person living at this residence crossed this guy by somehow physically shitting in his mailbox, I don't see what would compel someone to go this far to destroy property all while being filmed doing it.
IDK if it's any kind of diagnosable mental illness in the way you're thinking. Some sort of messed up pathology absolutely.
The cone head gave it away for me
Dude ain’t right
He must... NARFLE THE GARTHOK!
These are excellent seats.
chews on, inflates a condom
Perhaps you and Larry will join us for consumption of mass quantities this weekend. We will ignite our new flame pit and char mammal flesh for you.
This is typical behavior of a specific kind of stalker. It happens more often than people think. A neighbor might be pleasant at first but actually, one wrong move and you become the focus of all their energy and hate. It’s terrible. There are people who have lost their homes and feared for their lives, putting up with a campaign of harassment for ten years or more. They simply do not relent.
And they manage to slip under the law, again and again. In many cases the victim simply has to move, and the stalker wins. Sometimes, the stalker has to move due to charges brought unto them, but they will simply continue their behavior elsewhere with a new victim.
It’s frustrating to learn that almost nothing ever happens to these sickos. Similar to a traditional stalker, they skirt juuust under the radar of the law and often there isn’t anything a victim can do nor can the law really do anything for some damn reason, until they’ve escalated their behavior or crossed a dangerous line.
Thats unfortunately true. Perhaps one day the disabled victim inconvenienced him one day.
Perhaps blocking the driveway while loading the wheelchair up. Or a loud ambulance middle of night when an emergency occured.
Hell, maybe he's paranoid about the camera specifically. "I just know that fucker's sitting in his house all day spying on me with that thing!"
it seems like it's just aimed at a wall in front of a door though. Like... don't stand in fron of the door, problem solved you fuckin nutbag
True, but whack jobs in desperate need of anger management classes generally aren't the most logical thinkers.
My street currently has a feud because a guy leaves for work 'too earl in the morning. He has a diesel truck and the Karen across the street says loudness of his engine's 'an assault on my senses.' One of her retaliations was dumping a bag of trash into the bed of the truck. Her trash. That had mail addressed to her in it. She denied it was her trash.
I thought so too. This guy seems mentally ill.
The judge also deserves some punishment. 100 pounds for multiple destroyed cameras?
How about the time and travel cost each time you go to buy one?
This is wrong.
So I think the 100 pounds is just to each of the three carers that he also harassed. Still, like oh wow. A whole 100 pounds for them!
Why 2 years on the restraining order? What possible reason would they ever have of being close to each other or being in contact. Should be in effect indefinitely or until the victims decide its enough. Fuck that guy.
What a needlessly drawn out, ineffectual attempt at justice and behavior modification. When a functioning adult demonstrates this kind of repeated behavior it's ok to go heavy on the punishment to ensure the safety of other people and their property.
I hope that 100 quid is per victim. It's still ridiculously low, though
Aren’t there some Brummies who can do a drop in?
I lost it at the sharpie it was such a pathetic attempt
The screw driver too, he thought he'd just casually crack it.
I think he genuinely thought it did something 😭
I think that was dry erase
Can someone lock this MF up?
Yeah let me know, happy to pay a visit
Yeah, I think the only cure for whatever ails that guy is a good, old-fashioned ass-whooping.
This is someone who's never suffered serious consequences for his actions. He needs the absolute shit kicked out of him. It would probably make him a better person.
yup. my new neighbor complained about my cameras already, stating that they better not be facing her house or capture her yard. I just told her that where they point is none of her business, so she said she would get the police involved. the local PD told her to never call them about it again, as its not her business where they point.
edit: no, they are not pointed at her house, what good would they do me? its a wide angle lens, so it captures all of my back yard, and some of theirs. same with the front cams. I will be adding more due to her feeding my dog after I told her not to.
Isn't it? If someone's cameras were looking into my garden or into my house I'd be pretty pissed
Dude I'd be livid as hell. Intentionally recording your neighbors on their own property while holding up your nose and saying "well it's within the bounds of the law" is fucked up. What an asshole. That's like people who fly drones hovering two feet above the legal minimum while you're trying to relax and get a tan in your backyard. "It's legal" is a shite excuse.
Happy we have some laws around filming of neighbours comings and goings in the UK...well, we're getting there. https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/legal-updates/ring-doorbells-domestic-cctv-and-gdpr/5111162.article
Your neighbour has a point though. This is about her privacy? Why are you such an asshole about this?
This is obviously just some guy with severe mental problems.
Absolutely dead expressionless eyes.
Dude legit has those crazy eyes. He definitely needs some help.
I'd volunteer as full time front door man just so I can eyeball this guy every day as he walks buy. Ring cameras still there and now you've got me too. I'd like to see if this guys face is as punchable as it looks in person.
Did you notice that in all of that footage we only see the motherfucker blink exactly 1 time? I don't think I'd win a mad dogging competition with Joseph A Crank here.
That guy has dead eyes.
Doesn't help that he doesn't appear to blink.
I didn’t pick up on that at first! Yikes, now I think he’s Possessed.
The man doesn't blink!
The cameras are stealing his soul.
I think you hit the proverbial nail on its head. Who needs drugs when one has psychosis.
lol, usually WHY people need drugs
He's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes
and when he bites into ya?
For all that missed the reference, show me the way to go home, I’m tired and I want to go to bed. I had a little drink about an hour ago, aaand it’s gone straight to my head!
What a cunt
Considering how many attempts it takes to hit the camera, I’m thinking impaired in some way… drugs or alcohol.
British weather
Every time it rains, I too have an insatiable hunger to destroy Ring doorbells in the least effective, inept way possible.
It rains a lot.
He could be having psychotic delusions (i.e. thinks the cameras are there to spy on him, etc)
My first thought having worked in a group home with schizoaffective individuals
Those cameras held up pretty good this would make a good commercial.
"buy our ring doorbell today, they can withstand hammers, screwdrivers, markers, and brooms from that crazy neighbor you have. You know the one."
Yep, we all have one
I've seen videos of people being shot for a lot less
It's a major surprise he is able to continue on like this with out any consequences. If he did that to anyone in my neighborhood, he wouldn't get away with that.
In my area, the first time he showed up after knocking the camera down, he'd likely be shot at. Just the way it is.
The way she goes, bubs.
THE WAY SHE BLOWWWWS
That's right - that's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes.
Probably why he's targeting the disabled.
Same dude lol. I mean it's not like I live a violent area, but if someone did this shit they'd get thumped by neighbors on both sides of the street. Shit would not fly lol.
Well he's probably not gonna stop until someone drills a few holes in him
It’s the UK, people don’t usually get shot here, he needs a good beat down though, preying on a disabled neighbour like that
I love how his attempts dont do shit 90% of the time
That marker is about as dry as his sex life
He looks like a serial killer. Look at his eyes they’re creepy.
Think he is suffering from a form of metal illness. The lack of emotion in the videos and the behaviour of his actions.
Clearly something is wrong with him.
Pity the judge did not ask for a medical review.
I expect that will happen when he is rearrested for not following the conditions of his probation.
He might be thinking that his neighbors are part of a conspiracy to spy on him. I've known a few unusual people to claim that the neighbors have cameras pointed at them for one silly reason or another, to the point one of them put cardboard up over all her windows to keep her neighbor lesbians from "spying" on her. I can only imagine what her response would have been if she actually saw an obvious camera on their property.
My cousin has schizophrenia. When he's off his meds he looks a bit like this dude. Dead eyes, no emotion, just in another world. You can't wear sunglasses around him because then you're one of "them". He's destroyed all his electronics several times because any electronic device with a little light on it is "them" listening to him. The last time he went off his meds he burned his house down and started shooting at aliens he thought were on the other side of the highway. He living in a rural area and thankfully didn't hurt anyone, but he can't legally own guns anymore and if he goes off his meds again he'll be sent to the state hospital. I have so many crazy cousin stories.
This guy in the video sounds like he might be in the same boat.
I have psychosis and at it's worse I think there's someone behind my homes security cameras watching me so I would always turn the cameras away or unplug them so I couldn't be watched
it became like a ritual and automatic to the point where I wouldn't even react to removing them I just did it on autopilot
so while I do not condone his actions I truly believe there's some sort of paranoia going on and the marker really sells it for me
What an asshole. I get serial killer vibes off this guy.
Same here, it's like there's no life behind his eyes. Wonder if there's any serial killers active in that town.
We did it, Reddit!
He looks like he was drawn by Matt Groening. He's like an old version of Igner from Futurama.
He should have to wear a monitor that tases him when he gets within a couple feet of the neighbor’s property.
whats the motive?
My best guesses are: 1. Taking out his life frustrations on a vulnerable neighbour, probably has his own mental health issues 2. The doorbell camera points into a shared walkway and he doesn’t like the idea of himself and/or visitors being filmed
that he seemed to think using a marker would solve whatever his issue is with the camera seems to support your second guess
I feel like I scrolled forever to find someone else asking this question. Like okay we understand what he’s doing. But WHY? If we don’t know why then how can we even begin to effectively address this dudes issue.
Yeah I agree, I found it especially disturbing that the supposed “update” further up is that this man is now under forced surveillance.
If that’s the case that seems completely tone deaf to this person’s concerns or safety.
Like this is not acceptable behaviour, and if he wants to not be recorded there’s more appropriate ways to about that.
But it is really unfortunate when two people’s needs collide (a door cam vs not being surveilled), but realistically it seems like the only healthy resolution is one of them moving.
This is the face of a guy who will rape your dog and shit underneath your Christmas tree.
Or rape your Christmas tree and shit underneath your dog.
Moving shitting target. I like the challenge.
I find this scenario much more….comforting.
or rape your Christmas tree and put a dog underneath your shit
Bert not doing too well after Ernie left him.
We had a neighbour like this when we lived in a rough part of Manchester when I was a kid. My family are Italian and it was a white British area, they didn't like us much. The police warned them off a bunch but they persisted for months. The last 2 things I remember from that house was a funny smell and the carpet by the door being wet and finding a rocket. They'd poured petrol through our letterbox and left an unlit firework on it. This was on the floor below my bedroom and I'd have been about 5 at the time.
If police don't work, people like this need stopping one way or another.
If you can’t sort him out yourself pay a few youngins to smash his windows ever day
I think they would even do it for free
You mean the legal system failed? How odd.
It's pretty fucking obvious this guy is extremely mentally ill and needs to be committed
look at him. his eyes are dead. something is not right upstairs
Guy needs to be disabled.
I guess they don't have spray paint in the UK.

The fact the sharpie didn’t work is so fucking perfect
I'd hate living next door to Johnny Rotten.
This wouldn't happen twice in Florida
Step 1 get trained German shepherd if possible Step 2 wait Step 3 post glorious result
guy belongs in jail
He looks like the bad guy from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
the fact that he's destroying private property that does not belong to him should be enough to have him arrested. What is the hold up?
Don't understand why he isn't in jail. Even beyond the repeatadely vandalism, he is trespassing and most importantly BREAKING A RESTRAINING ORDER
Dude probably doesn’t like having his image recorded and saved every time he tries to leave and return to his apartment
Just find a “nice guy” who would love to teach this pos a lesson hell I’d do it for free
Bullies only bully cause people let them.
