March 31, 2014 -- Children Unsupervised

At 9:32 p.m., I heard children screaming and running outside. I looked outside and saw the children, but no adults.

March 30, 2014 -- Pantry Punishers Play Loud Music

At 7:12 p.m., blaring loud music started emanating from the Pantry Punisher's apartment.  If one of the cops were walking along the breezeway right now, the noise could be heard quite easily.

March 30, 2014 -- More Booming Stereo

It was 2:41 p.m. when I heard someone's stereo in the area going boom, boom, boom.  I'd say it was in the area of The Courtyards at Valley View, rather than here at London Square.  Still, if it's that far away, that's one really loud stereo.

March 30, 2014 -- Loud Stereo Outside Again

This is becoming monotonous.

It's 12:42 p.m. when I noticed someone coming into the parking lot with the stereo cranked up.  It was loud enough to make the windows vibrate like a drum's membranes.

March 29, 2014 -- More Pantry Punisher Drumming

It's now 4:52 p.m.  I'm still trying to wash my dishes.  As I'm doing a normal activity that does generate some thumps and bumps, the Pantry Punishers continue their hating on the shared kitchen wall.

FYI, Mr. Greer, the "city's" officers SHOULD be smart enough to realize that I'm reacting to real noises.  I hear something, I react.  Now what are YOU going to have FBPD DO about this situation?

March 29, 2014 -- Pantry Punishers Drumming on Wall

I was in the kitchen washing dishes.  At about 4:41 p.m., the Pantry Punishers started drumming on the wall.  Not a random bang here, thump there kind of thing.  It was a thumpity-thumpity-thumpity-thump rapid pounding on the shared wall between our kitchens.

I did tell them I'd blog about this, and as everyone can plainly see, I kept my word.

I now hear a male voice outside, said owner of said voice left the Pantry Punishers' apartment.

March 29, 2014 -- Loud Stereo Outside

At 3:28 p.m., someone pulled into the parking lot here at London Square Apartments near my building.  Said driver had his/her stereo blaring loud enough to shake the windows.

Edit: At 3:31 p.m., the Upstairs Stomper started stomping around upstairs.  Interesting how these two noisy events seem tied together.  But given that yesterday's loud stereo action was approaching harassment levels, and given the history of "bad blood" the Upstairs Stomper and I have, it wouldn't surprise me if the offending outside stereo belongs in the Upstairs Stomper's vehicle.

March 28, 2014 -- Here We Go Again

They fired up another stereo outside at 11:58 a.m.  This is bordering downright harassment, folks.

March 28, 2014 -- Just Finished Posting and...

I'd just gotten done posting a 11:56 a.m., when yet ANOTHER loud stereo rolled into the London Square Apartments parking lot.  This is pitiful, FBPD.

March 28, 2014 -- More Loud Music in the London Square Parking Lot

It was around 11:40 a.m., and someone drove into the London Square Apartments parking lot with their stereo cranked up loud enough to shake the windows.  You want to know what the loud noise was like?  It felt like physically being beaten with a lead pipe, that's how loud it was.

Since FBPD seems to have no clue about noise ordinances, allow me to "educate".  This was pulled from here: http://www.nonoise.org/lawlib/cities/dallas.htm

"SEC. 30-1. NOISES INTERFERING WITH ENJOYMENT OF PROPERTY OR PUBLIC PEACE AND COMFORT.
No person shall make or cause to be made any loud and raucous noise in the city which is offensive to the ordinary sensibilities of the inhabitants of the city, which noise renders the enjoyment of life or property uncomfortable or interferes with public peace and comfort. (Ord. 13744)"

You say, "Well that's Dallas, not Farmers Branch, TX"?  How about this from the State of Texas: http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/PE/htm/PE.42.htm

"TITLE 9. OFFENSES AGAINST PUBLIC ORDER AND DECENCY

CHAPTER 42. DISORDERLY CONDUCT AND RELATED OFFENSES




Sec. 42.01.  DISORDERLY CONDUCT.  (a)  A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly:

(5)  makes unreasonable noise in a public place other than a sport shooting range, as defined by Section 250.001, Local Government Code, or in or near a private residence that he has no right to occupy;"




Someone operating his/her stereo to the point that it disturbs others is done intentionally and knowingly.  No one on planet Earth plays their stereo in a parking lot so loud it rattles windows "accidentally".




Hence, FBPD should be going after these noisemakers, but they don't.  State law, which they've claimed time and again that they enforce is ignored consistently.




So you see, Mr. Greer, "law enforcement" in this prot-ghetto of a "city" is a very sorry joke.

March 28, 2014 -- Loud Stereo Outside

At 10:53 a.m., someone drove slowly past my apartment; this person had the stereo turned up loud enough to rattle the windows.  It's thankfully stopped now, but that won't deter them from doing it again.  The only thing that would work is if they had received enough citations to make it too expensive to get caught doing it again.

March 26, 2014 -- Pantry Punishers and Questionable Activity

At 7:05 p.m., I became aware of a lot of talking and other activity (like screaming children) at the Pantry Punisher's apartment.  There may be loud TV also, but I'm pretty sure there are people talking and carrying on outside.

March 25, 2014 -- Much Loud Stereo Action Outside

Ever since 5:53 p.m., there have been loud stereos being blared in the parking lots both here at London Square Apartments and next door at The Courtyards at Valley View.

Pathetic law enforcement we have in Farmers Branch, TX, Mr. Greer.  If FBPD were really on patrol, they should have caught the racket-makers.  But then I know it's a load of crap, their bleatings about how they "will put a stop to loud music".  Let's face it, the city pays the police to drive around and do next to nothing...  except park in the no parking zone at the nearby Wal-mart for hours.

March 23, 2014 -- Pantry Punishers Violate Curfew

At 10:15 p.m., I noticed that the Pantry Punishers began to play their TV loud again.  I've been ignoring it, but it's grown louder now.

What's both sad and pathetic is that FBPD will read this but do nothing.

Mr. Greer, Farmers Branch City Manager, your "police force" is a pitiful joke.  You should reimburse taxpayers for the lack of service provided.

It's now 5:23 p.m. and the Farmers Branch FAIL COPS have still refused to do anything about the Pantry Punisher's loud music.  Remember, this all began around 4:15 p.m.  The lazy cops can't be bothered to take a 5-10 minute DRIVE to tell the Pantry Punishers to pipe down or it's ticket time; it's been over an hour.

Come on!  It's not like this is "accidental" music when it can be heard CLEAR ACROSS THE APARTMENT for OVER AN HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I not say that FBPD would refuse to do anything yet again?  It's just as I predicted.

And where's the city manager, Mr. Greer?  Apparently his talking to the police chief is meaningless.  So much for management.  I think Mr. Greer needs to personally oversee the function of the cops.  Crack the whip and make them worth the taxpayer's money.

March 23, 2014 -- Pantry Punishers Increase Volume

It's 4:46 p.m., and the noise coming from the Pantry Punishers' apartment is even louder than before.  I'm sitting far from the shared wall, and I can distinctly make out the guitar sounds.

Now keep in mind that this disturbance began around 4:15 p.m.  Even if a cop were WALKING here, he/she should have gotten here and written a ticket.  But nooooo...  The gas-wasters can't possibly get over here and do ANYTHING.  It's not like there's something big and important for them to do today, no traffic accidents, no big busts, nothing.

I've been telling you for a year that FBPD apparently WANTS Farmers Branch, TX to become a ghetto.  They want YOUR PROPERTY TAXES, but refuse to provide *YOU* with *SERVICE*.  They'll treat you just like they've treated me; they'll get in your face and BRAG about how good they have it with their fancy houses that YOU FUND OUT OF YOUR POCKET.  And what do they do for it?  Well, they sure can't be bothered with doing something as simple as writing citations for violating anti-noise laws.  And you'd think that would be easy money, that it should be safer than say, a home invasion situation.

March 23, 2014 -- Pantry Punishers with Loud Music

At 4:13 p.m., I noticed that loud music was emanating from the Pantry Punisher's apartment, from their living room area.  I approached the shared wall and it grew louder due to being closer to the noise.

Just watch.  The FBPD cops that read this blog will refuse to do anything about it.  Again.  And I'll get to tell the world "I told you so" when that happens.

NOTE: It's now 4:27 p.m.  There's already been 3 hits, and plenty of time for a cop to go over to the Pantry Punishers and write a citation for disturbing the peace.  The loud music is still present.  If a cop went anywhere near the front door, it would be easy to hear the racket.  I can hear it about 2 yards away from the shared wall, loud and clear.

*clears throat*  I predicted that FBPD would fail to do anything.  Let's see just how long the Pantry Punishers will make racket today.

As I Thought

Well, the racket the Upstairs Stomper engaged in on March 17, 2014 never abated, not even past curfew.

It was just as I predicted: FBPD wasn't about to stop the noise, nor were they willing to go write a citation for the noise violation.  They expect the apartment complex to do things for them, wah wah babies in uniform.  How "nice" that Farmers Branch, TX taxpayers have such incompetent, lazy officers to "protect" them from the ghetto-ification of the "city".  The cops would rather ALLOW the "city" to turn into another ring of Hell.  Anything to keep you, the taxpayer, funding their fancy houses they love to brag about--without them having to do that activity called WORK.

And how "wonderful" it is that Mr. Greer's "efforts" are "rewarded" in "managing" the "city".  More like mis-managed.  If he is doing anything with regards to the handling of the police, he needs to work harder at it.

And when I say "work harder," I mean make the cops do their freaking jobs.  I do NOT mean go bully the apartment manager for violating ordinances that are likely grandfathered in.

The tenants at the complex should have to obey the law as I do.  Remember the little "take Mia away to the looney bin" bit, FBPD?  That thing you bozos did to ME back at the end of September?  I remember.  You want me to obey the law, so make everyone else at the complex and surrounding area obey too.

If you're not going to hold others to the law, then you need to apologize for what you did to me back in September/October 2013.  Why?  Because you won't uphold the law with respect to other residents.  You let them run wild and you do diddly squat.

Farmers Branch, it's time to demand that the cops enforce the law equally, or not at all.  And if they won't enforce the law at all, they need to be fired, and taxes need to stop being collected for the lack of the service.

March 17, 2014 -- Upstairs Stomper gets even Louder

At 6:54 p.m., the Upstairs Stomper cranked up the music even louder.  The incompetent and lazy FBPD could hear it just by walking around on the landing, but they couldn't catch a cold, let alone find the noisemakers and write them citations.

NOTE: It's now 7:19 p.m., and the noise pollution continues.

March 17, 2014 -- Upstairs Stomper Cranks it Up

At 6:29 p.m., I noticed that the Upstairs Stomper has his stereo turned up.  I can hear it coming down into my apartment anyway.

Just you wait and see.  FBPD, with individual officers consistently stating they read this blog, will completely FAIL to do anything about the loud stereo.  Even though this post constitutes a report of what's going on.

March 17, 2014 -- Greetings from Music Hell

5:08 p.m., and my windows are being rattled again by loud stereo action rolling into the London Square Apartments parking lot.

It thankfully didn't last long, but it shouldn't be happening anyway if FBPD was doing their freaking JOBS and enforcing STATE LAW with regards to noises such as loud stereos.

May 14, 2014 -- Windows being Rattled

At 7:02 p.m., it was difficult not to hear the vehicle stereo blaring out in the parking lot.  It's been that way for at least a minute.  And yes, it's loud enough to make the windows vibrate.

March 10, 2014 -- More Boom, Boom, Boom

At 4:35 p.m., another loud stereo went past my window.

Gee, and the FBPD cops swore that they handle loud music.  I sure don't see them doing squat today.

March 10, 2014 -- Boom, Boom, Boom

At 4:18 p.m., I noticed someone playing their vehicle stereo loud in the London Square Apartment's parking lot.  I believe the party is being fired up right now as I type this.

Pity the FBPD is too unprofessional to handle it though.

March 7, 2014 -- Upstairs Stomper gets in on the Loud TV Action

It's now 8:15 p.m.  I'd heard the loud TV going as early as 8:08 p.m.  It took me this amount of time to pinpoint the source.  I can hear the noise coming from upstairs, in the bedroom region is where I hear it best.  And who lives above me?  The Upstairs Stomper.

You just know that the FBPD wouldn't hear anything even if they were super glued to the electronics up there.

March 7, 2014 -- Leash Law Violation

At 7:48 p.m., I was just coming home and I saw a chihuahua wandering the quad lawn without a leash or an owner.

March 6, 2014 -- Pantry Punisher's Harassment Continues

It's now 9:12 p.m., and the Pantry Punishers are still blaring their TV.

Come on already!  I'm not sitting right next to the wall here.  I'm in the little dining nook, as far from their apartment as possible, and I can still hear the TV making whooping noises!

FBPD: the laziest, richest, most useless excuse for a police department anywhere on Earth!

March 6, 2014 -- More Pantry Punisher Noise

At 8:55 p.m., the Pantry Punishers turned up their TV again.

Seriously, how many blog posts does it take before FBPD takes it seriously?  If I can hear their TV through the wall, it's too freaking LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

March 6, 2014 -- FBPD Belongs to Satan

It's 7:00 p.m., and the Pantry Punisher's TV is still going. There's also a lot of activity right outside.

And of course, since the FBPD wants to stick pitchforks into my keister via the Pantry Punishers, they have to work for the Devil.  There's no other explanation for such lousy police work and flaunting their houses that they get by NOT doing the jobs entrusted to them.

Now if it were you or I, we'd be FIRED for doing such lousy jobs as FBPD.  But not them.  They're not the least bit worried that Mr. Greer, the city manager, would chew out the Chief of Police.

March 6, 2014 -- Pantry Punishers at it Again

At 6:35 p.m., the Pantry Punishers turned on their loud TV.  Again.  For the upteenth night in a row.

And of course FBPD, whom I swear are probably demons sent by Satan, are determined to let these thoughtless, inhumane neighbors have their way with disturbing my peace.

I don't know where Farmers Branch got their cops (unless it's straight from Hell), but where I came from, it was illegal to disturb the peace like what the Pantry Punishers are being allowed to do every stinking night.

March 5, 2014 -- Pantry Punishers and their TV

It's 8:51 p.m. and I realized a few minutes ago that the Pantry Punishers have their TV turned up.

You know what?  I'd just gotten back from the hospital.  My family member doesn't seem to be doing well.  I don't need the thoughtlessness of the alleged neighbors around me right now.

Hey, FBPD?  Why won't you come over here and ask the Pantry Punishers to have a little consideration for someone that's hurting right now?!?  Don't you have an ounce of humanity in any of you?

March 5, 2014 -- Upstairs Stomper's Turn for Loud TV

At 10:14 a.m., I noticed loud TV sounds coming from upstairs.  It's now 10:25 a.m. as I post this, so it's been blaring long enough.

March 3, 2014 -- More Blaring TV

It's 10:01 p.m., and I swear the Pantry Punishers' TV has grown even louder.

Goes to show that FBPD is made of fail, yet again.  They read this blog, but they sit around twiddling their collective thumbs.

March 3, 2014 -- Pantry Punishers -- Yep, it's the TV Again

It's now 9:17 p.m., a couple of minutes after I initially heard the Pantry Punishers' TV blaring away AGAIN.  Can't ignore it, no matter how hard I try not to pay attention.

You know, I've got troubling concerns in my real life, with a beloved family member in the hospital.

I don't need FBPD being the Fail Patrol with regards to state law.  The Pantry Punishers should have been set straight WEEKS AGO.  Start writing them citations.  When they're forced to pay enough fines, they'll decide to either pipe down or move.

I've already had the Upstairs Stomper thumping and bumping like mad over my head.  And as I've stated in previous posts, the family above me are NOT heavyset, but they sure do act like they have lead for feet.  I've also stated that one as heavyset as I am can manage to walk rather quietly on the breezeway.  So do you mind telling me how Madame Fatty can be QUIET walking upstairs whereas the skinny tribe boom about like stampeding elephants?

FBPD, do something for a change.  Stop ignoring the problems.

March 2, 2014 -- Upstairs Stomper getting Noisy

At 4:28 p.m., I noticed that the Upstairs Stomper was...  well...  stomping.  Before, it had been their dog romping around.  I can hear it barking right now.

I'll tell you this much, with weather like this, it must suck to have to walk a dog.

March 2, 2014 -- No Adult Supervision

1:18 p.m., and I noticed a child screaming and carrying on.  Looked outside, and the child is running around loose without an adult keeping an eye on the little one.

On the plus side, she was dressed for the weather.

1:20 p.m., and the child's shrieks continue.

March 2, 2014 -- Here we go Again

It was 9:54 a.m. when I realized that the Pantry Punishers have their TV blaring again.

March 2, 2014 -- Here we go Again

March 1, 2014 -- Wild Party

At 9:55 p.m., I noticed that there's some people whooping it up outside in the parking lot here at London Square Apartments.  I know what "woo!" and laughing mean--drunken party getting cranked up.

Gee, and FBPD is nowhere to be found.
