One of my neighbors that talks to my father and David about the cops being at our house when John Carnegie thought that we needed to call the cops and he helped me call the cops on my dad and there were even recordings verifying my friends about my dad and there was a second time someone named Derry Johnston called the cops because she thought I was suicidal my neighbor only heard my dad's side of all this so this morning when Jill was trying to enter into an Uber car my neighbor named Gene shouted across the street and said this to Dale " Hey you need to stop" Dale did not say anything back to the guy and entered the Uber. He said "Hey you" a rude greeting and then he said " you need to stop" they just believe anything that my father and David says in a brief interaction in the front yard they don't go do anything that we go through around here
