TVTranscript
00:22This is my crazy neighbor.
00:24She thinks it's her property, but it's not.
00:26It's mine.
00:28It's part of the original property I bought.
00:41The land below my feet used to be beautiful St. Augustine grass.
00:46And now it's weeds, thanks to my next door neighbor.
00:49So I'm cutting my grass.
00:51What you cut my grass for?
00:52You ruined my grass.
00:53You know, he continued to get worse and worse.
00:56I will demolish anything that she thinks that she's going to do.
00:59I don't care.
01:00I will protect my property.
01:02It's as simple as that.
01:04The game he's playing is very dangerous.
01:06He don't reel like that.
01:07On the outside, he looks like a sheep, but he's on the inside, he's a wolf.
01:11I'm warning you, David.
01:12My name's not David, you dumbass.
01:23Melissa approached me before she bought the house right next to me, behind me.
01:27She came out.
01:28She was very friendly.
01:29And she was like, oh yeah, it's a great neighborhood.
01:31You'll love it here.
01:32So she's been my neighbor for almost 16 years.
01:36I mean, I've gone as far as picking her kids up from school for her.
01:40Her son actually used to babysit for me with my dog.
01:42We've been friends since I moved in.
01:44Up until a month and a half ago.
01:47You're not going to cut the grass.
01:48My attorney said you're not to cut the grass.
01:50I'm to cut the grass.
01:51It's my property.
01:52I will cut it because I'm not getting fined by calling for that.
01:54I cut it every single week.
01:56You cut it on top of him cutting it.
01:57It was weeds.
01:58Giving 35 feet away on somebody's whim is just not an option.
02:08I'm doing the fucking lawn.
02:18Now she's going to be curious.
02:23So my nightmare started, I believe it was the year 2000,
02:26when my next door neighbor Ortiz moved in,
02:29he cut 60 inches up into my yard.
02:32That's three widths of a lawnmower.
02:34And he used to mow the maintenance road
02:36with his own personal lawnmower.
02:37So he took the weeds from the canal,
02:39and in a day or two, the weeds started growing right on that line.
02:42So this is what the grass used to look like.
02:45Like I said, it was just beautiful St. Augustine,
02:47and he killed his, killing mine.
02:49When you take away something that somebody else has,
02:51and you don't have it, that's envy.
02:53That's one of the seven deadly sins.
02:55So I'm cutting my grass, and I figured,
02:57well, let me do this guy in favor.
02:58Let me go a little property.
03:00You know, I didn't mind.
03:00I thought I was doing him in favor.
03:02He started getting all raggedy.
03:03What you cut my grass for?
03:04You ruined my grass.
03:05Two, three, four months later, he did it again.
03:08I put these little concrete pyramids
03:10right on the property line, passive-aggressive,
03:12but I don't want to have to talk to him about it.
03:14I said, come outside.
03:15Come outside, you coward.
03:16Look at me.
03:17You know, come outside, you know.
03:18So I went over there outside.
03:20He said, you know, you're a real jerk.
03:21Then on the video, he made the video,
03:22he put it on TikTok.
03:24I had it with your fucking shit over there.
03:26If I didn't document all the times
03:28that he was screaming at me, you wouldn't believe it.
03:31No one would.
03:41No matter how small or insignificant you think it is,
03:45I know why he's doing it.
03:46He would be considered an obsessed stalker.
03:58Victoria!
03:59Worst case, you don't touch it.
04:00I don't want to touch.
04:02Leave it alone.
04:03Why bother?
04:04Don't poke the bear.
04:04Come on, Victoria.
04:06Melissa called the cops.
04:07She called the cops.
04:09Oh, God, do I have great words, but I can't use them.
04:12That's just a cunt.
04:13I mean, come on.
04:14I mean, really?
04:15She's a compulsive liar, compulsive.
04:19She had went to the city
04:20and got these no trespassing signs,
04:22and she put them right on my property.
04:25I'd come home from the police station.
04:27And it was at that point that she pulled up the signs.
04:32I walked outside, and it's Victoria acting like a madwoman.
04:35Victoria, I'm going to have you arrested if you keep touching my shit.
04:38I'm going to be arrested.
04:39After she hit me with the one sign, I went inside and called the police.
04:44And the cop came, and Victoria was like,
04:46oh, my God, did you see her?
04:47She just hit me with the thing.
04:48And the cop goes, no, she just threw it on the ground.
04:52I don't want to be attacked again, either.
04:55I mean, she physically took those signs
04:59and was stabbing me in the back and throwing those signs.
05:04She's always been crazy, but she was my neighbor, so...
05:08This is Victoria's wedding.
05:12When you push and you push and you push me,
05:15which she has done at this point, then enough.
05:17I'm looking for a gun.
05:19So I go into people's homes all the time,
05:21because I do notary work, right?
05:22I do mortgages, okay?
05:24I don't like carrying my gun, my Glock.
05:28It's just too heavy for me.
05:29First, we always have to analyze this.
05:30What's your need?
05:31What's your want?
05:33Hi, I'm Stanley Zamore.
05:34I'm one of the managers here at Nexus Shooting in Davie, Florida.
05:37I always hate to hear that.
05:38Here's what happened.
05:39Here's what happened to my neighbor.
05:40Here's what happened to me.
05:41This is what happened to me.
05:42And now I want to protect myself.
05:43It's like, why do we have to wait
05:45for something unfortunate to happen?
05:47I think people start thinking afterwards, you know?
05:49Exactly.
05:49They don't think it can happen, and then it does.
05:51She's psycho that way.
05:53I have a gun in the house as well.
05:56But I am not as practiced as she.
05:59I mean, I do have like a thousand bullets, though.
06:02I hope it's unloaded.
06:08I don't have my glasses on.
06:11Oops.
06:11Who's good with guns?
06:14Who's good with guns?
06:15Is it loaded though?
06:17I can't tell.
06:18Okay.
06:19Don't worry.
06:19I'm not stupid enough to...
06:21Okay.
06:22You can tell me actually.
06:23Sure.
06:24Let's...
06:24It might have something in the chamber.
06:27Just because of security purposes.
06:32So some of you out there think that I'm the crazy one or the stalker.
06:36Well, this is my next door neighbor, the Vietnam vet.
06:39He's got cameras pointed directly at my driveway, at my house.
06:44He's got a contraption, just like this, in the backyard, pointed at my swimming pool.
06:54Yeah, that's the camera.
06:58The one that was pointing toward this side, yes, the wind broke.
07:02You know, I got to fix it.
07:03Since I was in Vietnam, I got a lot of tricks, you know.
07:06I woke up to him once and I told him, you know, don't worry.
07:10I will never kill you because I told him, yeah, I kill you.
07:13All you want to do is go, you know, to sleep forever, you know.
07:17You know, do something terrible to him.
07:20Every day, every second, he'll suffer.
07:23I said, you see, John, this is acid.
07:25And whenever you're not looking, and I know someday I'm going to catch you.
07:29I'm going to throw in your face and it's going to be like the elephant.
07:32You're going to be walking around like the elephant, man.
07:34You're going to suffer every day of your life.
07:36Don't worry.
07:37Sooner later, I'm going to get you, John.
07:39Anything he says is a possibility.
07:41Basically, if you cross that, your life could be ended,
07:45because that's my Stand Your Ground law.
07:47And as far as it being electrified, be my guest. Test it.
07:52She wants to put rocks down. Okay.
07:56Do you never interrupt the judge while the judge is speaking?
07:59I'd like the matter to be mediated.
08:00Oh, this dog, Jack? Okay.
08:05My name is Jack Quincy Ron.
08:08This is probably one of the dumbest arguments I've ever seen.
08:12Yeah, everything is just, you know, alive with Victoria.
08:15She was selling drugs out of the house.
08:17There are lots of cars all the time.
08:20It's like a rotating door.
08:22I have a friend that just showed up the other night, and Jack came out.
08:26Jack didn't recognize him.
08:28And he told him, Jack, remember I used to give you ten bucks for your pee when I had to
08:36get a piss test?
08:37And I'd say, guys, before you go to school, please.
08:42The bowl, I put it in the toilet.
08:44The kids aren't being exposed to anything bad.
08:49All they have to do is pee.
08:51There's nothing illegal about that.
08:54And I have the twins.
08:56If they go to a private school, everybody's got money.
08:59But I had to survive and pay the bills.
09:03That's the bottom line.
09:06You know, I wasn't getting any help.
09:08We didn't see their father for years.
09:13My Adonis husband.
09:16Come on, Daddy.
09:17He's in fabulous shape.
09:18Look how good he looks.
09:19Look.
09:20I am so lucky because my ex-husband Charles is here doing my roof.
09:25For 57, that man is in perfect shape.
09:28Don't give him all this.
09:30You don't even have towels inside.
09:31The ass bag.
09:32The kids.
09:33What?
09:34Don't give him any decent towels.
09:36These aren't decent towels.
09:38All the rats.
09:39Oh, whenever I try to take a shower here, there's no towel.
09:42So I don't understand.
09:43Little boys, you're all the same.
09:45You find your weak spots, give you plenty of attention, read you properly, but you praise
09:52and it all comes out.
09:54You get anything you want.
09:55I want to be so normal, but there's just nothing normal about this situation.
10:05Yeah, I find all this all on the side of the road.
10:07When people throw it out, if you see it, you grab it.
10:10Trying to get my neighbor locked up.
10:12Oh, really?
10:13That's the goal.
10:14Oh, man.
10:15Why are you really harassing me lately?
10:16Oh, my.
10:1721 years.
10:19Hopefully, we get Dr. Phil out here to snatch him up.
10:22Figure out what's wrong with him.
10:28All I dedicate myself to my work.
10:33I'm a Vietnam memorial on will.
10:37I serve my country.
10:39I did 25 years with my job.
10:41I decided to have a good life.
10:42And then this jerk here, he never do anything for nobody.
10:46And this is the kind of guy I want to fight for and defend his country for.
10:52If you don't have a picture to back it up, it's just hearsay.
10:55And that's what Ortiz is known for, hearsay.
10:59So I've been taking pictures my whole life.
11:01So I took all these photos to share with whoever I was in a relationship with.
11:06Hopefully that they would have photos and stories to tell, too.
11:09This is what my grass used to look like before he killed it.
11:12This is January 2009.
11:13And this is how beautiful the grass was, all of it.
11:17That I just happened to catch a double rainbow.
11:19So that was the first time I ever opened up an egg and it had two yolks in it.
11:23So this is a couple of lizards having sex on a mailbox when I was out delivering mail.
11:28This is a couple of toads having sex, actually, by my front door.
11:32Every time Ellen DeGeneres came to Universal Studios Orlando to film her shows,
11:37I went to every show.
11:46That's me.
11:49So I love the Ellen DeGeneres show because it makes me smile, it makes me laugh.
11:55The silly stuff that she does brightens my day.
12:06And it actually got me through a lot of crap that I've had to deal with my psycho neighbor.
12:11The reason why you see me?
12:14Because I parked myself near a kid.
12:16Because I know camera guys, they love kids.
12:19Boop.
12:19Well, they thought they would think that she's my daughter because we have both the same color hair.
12:25So that's why I stood near her.
12:26That's really smart.
12:28I know.
12:31We're at a boat show.
12:34We're at the West Palm Beach boat show.
12:36Can you imagine flying around on that boat?
12:39That's a great boat.
12:40That's a great boat.
12:40Which boat do you want to buy, Mick?
12:43I want to buy all of them.
12:44Victoria's taking me to mediation.
12:46Oh, so now she changed her tune.
12:47Right.
12:48Because she's been supposedly mowing the lawn.
12:50Right.
12:50And she hasn't been.
12:52Isn't that a cool boat?
12:53That is absolutely crazy, those bees.
12:55Look at them all.
12:57So Melissa is a Greek man and it's the honey bee goddess.
13:01So what's going to happen when it's like, there's all, there's like a kumbaya movement,
13:04you know, and everything's all.
13:05Then we, then I put up my big bushes and I guess I'm the queen bee.
13:14Oh, Lance is here.
13:16Hey Lance.
13:17I've known him for years.
13:19No, no, no, no.
13:19Like we've, we've known each other for a long time, but I'm helping her with the whole,
13:23the neighbors.
13:24Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
13:26I saw him messing with the, I saw him.
13:28Can I tell them that you peed?
13:31Or you can tell them.
13:32That I, I peed?
13:33He peed for Jack.
13:36Or Jack peed for you.
13:37No, no, no.
13:38Okay.
13:38Okay.
13:39My name is Lance Burge.
13:41I'm a real estate broker.
13:42I sold Victoria Ron's, uh, this house and we've come into a situation with the neighbors.
13:48It's getting pretty ugly.
13:50In Brazil, they'll cut your reproductive organs off.
13:55If you take this much land, that's not yours.
14:04She stays here for like probably half a year or just three months or something.
14:10So usually when she, um, was gone, we could just walk in.
14:14Cause I know the, the code to our gate.
14:17So I could just walk in and then swim for as long as I wanted to.
14:23I mean, that was the only really access to a pool that I had.
14:26The pool, it's right there.
14:29If I could get these branches out, I could probably help you see.
14:33You gotta zoom in probably.
14:35Yeah.
14:38Yeah.
14:51Yeah.
14:53Yeah.
14:56Yeah.
15:01You gotta go with that.
15:02With Cooper and my life, you know, I feel like I have a child in the house all the time.
15:07So...
15:11So Cooper's meal consists of sushi-grade salmon, chia seeds, organic broccoli, goat liver,
15:18beat, crow, chicken heart, chicken foot, sardine head, flaxseed oil, and bee pollen.

26:18door she's in my driveway throwing my plants around if you guys aren't gonna get here i'm
26:23gonna sit outside here with my gun and i'm gonna protect myself oh hi
26:32honestly this isn't my problem that's theirs i'm like not even part of it sorry to bother
26:38here i literally just walked over and said but you've got these on the property line they
26:45need to pick it up i mean she starts going yeah see here they go here goes the the i
26:49can't
26:50see what's happening behind the car though and then what happens to all the damage that she
26:54did come i mean read the statute the statute reads irreparable damage so you tell me that's
26:59repairable that can be repaired just put it back in the in the pot permanent damage do you have
27:03the right to formally trespass warrant her from your property because she wants us to do it to you
27:08so she could go on my part yes that's what i'm saying because i'm warning you that's right yeah
27:12well we're here to document it and keep the peace okay and prevent people from you know throwing
27:16plants and yelling at each other okay we're not the civil police
27:28over oh how the hell did he get out of the house
27:30oh no arrest her she's illegally on my property arrest her see how stupid that is
27:39i got my formal charges now that she's on my property you see how that can happen arrest her
27:45wrong behavior but this is but this is trying to prevent it with the trespass but here's the
27:50issue wrong behavior it's gone from something little to something more to something more to
27:56this to she owns a gun when's it going to stop
28:00and i'm going to plant right on the line whether she likes it or not
28:10i just don't trust her it's very difficult to trust somebody that does this to you
28:16after you've been such a good friend to them forever
28:27i don't know what's going to happen to her it would be nice if i had no longer had a
28:33neighbor i think i might be able to protect it with every ounce of energy i have to protect our
28:40home
28:42i don't know what's going to happen to her it would be nice if i had no longer had a
28:45neighbor i think i might buy the property and expand my house that way
28:53when you buy a house you're buying the neighbors and if you don't know who your
28:59neighbors are you just bought a house in a nightmare section of the street
29:05all right she really does not know me
