Opinion: My liberal neighborhood was horrified when a gay-bashing ranter moved in. Here's what happened (via latimesopinion)
His mother bought the house next to ours to flip and moved her 33-year-old son in during the renovation. The next afternoon, as he scrutinized his front yard, I walked over to welcome him to the neighborhood. He was wearing a profanity-laced T-shirt bearing the message that a woman’s place was in the kitchen. I thought he would explain that it was a joke. He didn’t.
My new neighbor spent his days digging up the lawn, and then pushing wildflower seeds into the ground in random spots around the property. He watered it all four times a day. As he soaked the dirt, he would yell at anyone walking by, calling them “progressive scum” or “socialists.” If he got no response, he would chant and sing, “Lock her up” or “Build the wall”— for 30 minutes.
No one in the neighborhood would open their door to him except us. My partner let him use her cellphone. He called his mom to rescue him.Advertisement The next week, he began to spread peanuts on the sidewalk for the squirrels and broken crackers for the pigeons and crows, then get as close to them as they would allow. In those moments, he looked like a friendless child at a petting zoo.
