00:11Sorry, sorry, we care.
00:14You're threatening my child.
00:15Ain't nobody threatening nobody.
00:18I've done everything you've demanded.
00:19Look it, I've trimmed my own tree.
00:21They didn't even do that.
00:23I need marijuana because of you, bitch.
00:25That's why I need marijuana.
00:28Oh, she's just punched a hole through the thing.
00:31You are artificial and disgusting.
00:34Hey, hey, hey, don't swear.
00:37Don't swear right now.
00:42As one in five Americans move to the suburbs,
00:46neighbor complaints double.
00:47Answer your door, bitch.
00:49People are spending more time at home than ever before.
00:52They have gotten to really know their neighbors.
00:54For better.
00:56The out of this neighborhood.
00:58And worse.
00:59You and your food.
01:00We walked on back.
01:01I will as long as you can.
01:03From home sweet home to battle zone.
01:07These are.
01:08You're an unethical piece.
01:15I'm standing up for my son.
01:17Neighbors can turn nasty when they believe a child is being bullied.
01:21.
01:21Crazy psycho.
01:23None of you guys bother me.
01:24I literally don't .
01:25Whatever.
01:26In Dayton, Ohio, a dad says his daughter has been getting mean texts from a girl who lives
01:32down the street.
01:33He and his wife go to the girl's home to ask her to stop, and the youth answers the door.
01:43The girl's mother charges out, berating them for talking directly to her daughter.
01:48Sorry.
01:49Sorry.
01:51We care.
01:52Threatening my child.
01:54No.
01:54Ain't nobody threatening nobody.
02:00The woman's sister jumps in, armed with a bat, turning this confrontation into a family feud.
02:07This is not your .
02:09No.
02:10No.
02:10No.
02:12That yard?
02:14That yard?
02:15That yard?
02:15That yard?
02:16That yard?
02:16That yard?
02:16This is public property.
02:18Just like I can park in front of that house, ain't what you can do about it.
02:21Tensions grow higher, as the bat-wielding aunt is clearly not afraid of her actions being
02:26recorded.
02:27Public property.
02:29Hi.
02:29My name is .
02:31How you doing, bitch?
02:33I'm doing great.
02:33How are you doing?
02:34What are you doing here?
02:37Inducing panic?
02:39Fearful of escalation, and realizing there's no resolving the argument, the couple stops
02:44recording and returns home.
02:47They say they haven't seen the neighbors since.
02:50But the issues between their daughters have calmed down.
02:53And these parents hope this is the last time school drama turns into a full-on neighborhood
02:59at all.
03:00How you doing, bitch?
03:01Go!
03:09Riverview, Florida, becomes home to 32-year-old Erin Crawford and her two sons, ages six and
03:15one, drawn to year-round sunshine in a big lawn out back.
03:20I loved that backyard.
03:22It was a mini-playground.
03:25It was a really pleasant community to be in, especially in Florida, because there was
03:30a lot of activities to do outside.
03:32Everything seems perfect for Erin, including her friendly new neighbors, a middle-aged woman,
03:38and her partner.
03:39She seemed so pleasant every time I saw her in the front yard.
03:44There were times that the man that was previously residing with her would approach and say hi.
03:52But a year after moving in, Erin starts to notice strange behavior from the woman next door, like dirty sleeping
04:00bags and half-eaten meals left in the yard.
04:03She's got her food just chilling right there from yesterday.
04:09She was just sitting on the ground eating, looks like bacon and eggs.
04:14I had no idea what was going on in that home behind those four walls, if you will.
04:20A week later, Erin's son is playing in the backyard, when she claims she hears the neighbor screaming at him.
04:27She rushes outside to protect her child.
04:29The neighbor claims Erin's child is making too much noise and disturbing her.
04:34I'll call the cops, bitch.
04:36Cops don't f*** this, you ugly bitch.
04:39The situation quickly intensifies.
04:43Oh, she's touching the... Oh, I've already started recording.
04:46You just punched a hole through the thing?
04:49What the f***?
04:51The neighbor appears to smash through the fence with her fist.
04:54I don't find myself in situations where I'm actually scared.
04:58And I was scared.
05:00You are artificial and disgusting.
05:03Erin's worst nightmare comes true when the neighbor makes a chilling threat.
05:08And you know what? Your kid is going to die.
05:11I was immediately panicked and my breathing was rapid, my heart was racing, my hands were shaking.
05:22I'm just gonna watch and smile as it happens. And watch.
05:28You are artificial and disgusting.
05:31Riverview, Florida. Erin Crawford is rattled after her neighbor threatens her toddler through their shared fence.
05:38Your kid is going to die.
05:40I'm just gonna watch and smile as it happens.
05:44And watch.
05:45It was more than just a nasty neighbor.
05:47She was threatening violence at that point. I was terrified.
05:51This is made of ugly face.
05:54She's trying to put... Okay, so we're going inside right now.
05:58Terrified, Erin runs inside to call the police.
06:02I'm f***. I'm so scared right now.
06:06Officers arrive and review the footage.
06:08But they say they can't take action on just the threat alone.
06:13Erin posts the videos of the neighbor online.
06:15And she racks up more than 20 million views.
06:19I made the video out of fear of not being helped.
06:23A month later, Erin and her two sons move to another neighborhood nearby.
06:28She's relieved to be gone, but still grieves the home she leaves behind.
06:32I'm glad that we moved, but it's sad.
06:35I built that playground with both of my babies in mind.
06:41Erin is ready to build new memories with her children in their new home,
06:45where they're surrounded by the right kind of neighbors.
06:49There's several really large families with lots of kids.
06:52So we've got laughter in the backyard.
06:56And it's beautiful.
07:04In Littleton, Colorado, a woman claims her husky was just attacked by two of her neighbor's dogs during a walk
07:12before bed.
07:15Insane.
07:17In fear her dog may need veterinary care, she takes her pet to the neighbor's door to get his contact
07:23information.
07:27Only it's his wife who answers.
07:30Please don't knock on our door. We have a sleeping baby. He's four months away.
07:34Your dog's just attacked my dog.
07:36And I'm fully aware that I'm talking to my husband about that.
07:39And that says nothing about her medical bills that she's about to have.
07:42I know.
07:42So I would like to exchange my door.
07:45The wife calls her husband to the door as the woman recording presses them for more details.
07:52But just when it seems like everything is okay, emotions flare up again.
07:59You do not want to start with me right now.
08:02You really don't want to start with me.
08:04Don't touch me. I'm pregnant, bitch.
08:07Then get your ass inside.
08:09Escort yourself out of the situation.
08:12You are not in.
08:13I don't have my information. I'm sorry this happened.
08:16No, that doesn't need to be happening.
08:18It's been said.
08:20Oh, if you're pregnant, get your pregnant ass inside then.
08:23You have my contact information, please go.
08:26Stupid ass bitch.
08:28With the squabble over, the neighbors return to their apartments.
08:34Despite getting the man's contact information, the woman recording says she never calls animal control.
08:41And her husky doesn't end up needing veterinary care.
08:44One thing's for certain.
08:46These neighbors have a rough road ahead when it comes to reconciliation.
08:52Stupid ass bitch.
09:00The suburban city of Decatur, Alabama, becomes home to 42-year-old Jack Brown and his wife after he joins
09:07the local police department.
09:09Once I got out of the military, I still had the desire to serve, you know, so I decided I'd
09:15serve my community to provide a safe environment for not just my kids, but, you know, everybody to work and
09:23live in.
09:23Jack gets along with all his neighbors, except for an older man a few houses down, who Jack says complains
09:31about music from his yard.
09:32The neighbor lives about a mile, mile and a half down the street.
09:36I don't think about him that often.
09:38And, you know, I get out of the backyard working on my truck.
09:40Got my radio going.
09:42It gets a little loud sometimes.
09:43If you've got an issue, just come talk to me.
09:45We'll hash it out like adults, you know.
09:47One afternoon, Jack spots the man parked outside his home.
09:51He claims the neighbor starts shouting about the noise.
09:54And trying to keep the peace, Jack walks away.
09:58But the neighbor isn't done yet.
10:05He throws in the gear and comes straight at me.
10:11I was completely shocked.
10:13I was like, oh, my God.
10:15The only thing I could think of that was in my mind was get out of the way.
10:20Terrified and realizing he's in danger, Jack calls 911 and hurries back into the house.
10:27I grabbed my gun, a pair of handcuffs, locked the door, and back down the hall I went.
10:31The man follows him.
10:36But Jack uses his police training to take charge.
10:40He's not listening, he's not complying with commands given.
10:48The danger is far from over.
10:54He's coming at me super fast.
10:56I started shooting.
10:57He's got a deadly weapon and I'm fixing to defend myself.
10:59With no time to run, Jack braces for impact.
11:03I had adrenaline pumping and I felt that my life was in imminent danger.
11:16Decatur, Alabama, which starts as a complaint about loud music erupts into a shocking showdown.
11:24When Jack Brown faces his neighbor driving straight at him.
11:31I knew I had a concussion.
11:34I knew that my lip was busted and I knew that my nose was bleeding because I could taste it.
11:40In pain but still conscious, Jack makes one final attempt to stop the rampaging neighbor.
11:47Show me your hand! Show me your hand!
11:51Another neighbor sees the commotion and pulls over to help.
11:55They bring the attacker down and hold him until officers arrive.
12:00Jack is rushed to the hospital with a concussion, a dislocated kneecap, and a torn ACL.
12:05It was probably about six weeks of physical therapy for my knee.
12:11Every now and again, my knee hurts a little bit because of the weather or whatever, but that's just part
12:17of getting old.
12:17The neighbor is arrested and charged with attempted murder.
12:21He pleads not guilty in his awaiting trial.
12:24Get on the ground right now!
12:26And though Jack hasn't forgiven his attacker, he says the incident brings the rest of his neighborhood together.
12:32People stopping by asking, hey, are you okay? Do you need anything?
12:36My fellow officers coming over and helping me clean up was overwhelming.
12:41I'm pretty sure it's written down somewhere, love thy neighbor.
12:44If we can't love each other, then what are we doing?
12:48We're all here to help each other.
12:57Every Halloween, neighbors compete to put on a show.
13:01But sometimes, people passing by get more trick than treat.
13:06Like in this Clinton, Utah neighborhood, where a food courier nearly loses her lunch.
13:14This delivery comes with a sight of fright.
13:19Not too far away, another Utah woman visits her neighbor's house.
13:26And finds a creepy, crawly surprise totally bugging her out.
13:30I'm so glad we killed that!
13:34In Salinas, California, this jogger takes offense at the witch's coven cooking up spells on the lawn.
13:44Looks like she's committed to her fight or fright workout.
13:53Make no mistake, when Halloween hits these neighborhoods, the decorations get the last scream.
14:09I can't have anything for my children to do. I have to literally leave my house for my kids to
14:14play.
14:14A basketball hoop in the driveway is as American as apple pie.
14:18But in this Ohio neighborhood, it's the start of a fight between a tenant and her landlords that bounces way
14:25out of control.
14:26Why are they allowed a moped on their porch, but I can't have bikes for my children?
14:30The woman recording says she's received several violations for toys outside her home, but claims that her neighbors don't receive
14:37the same treatment.
14:38I'm only allowed two? I have four kids. I have four kids, but I can only have two bikes.
14:45The owner asserts that the lease agreement states front yards must remain clean and free of items.
14:51There is no garbage! I have two tables, chairs, a grill, and a swing chair that I can't put on
14:58my front patio,
14:59because you guys threw a hissy fit about it last time, when I first moved in.
15:02The woman recording says over the nine years at the property, the couple has called local authorities on her multiple
15:09times, and she's had enough.
15:11My lawyer will be in contact, because what you guys are doing is illegal.
15:15I thought, yes it is, I have proof!
15:18Just wait, just, I didn't sign no rules with that. None.
15:22A week later, the owners show up to turn off her water for an unpaid bill, and she steps out
15:29ready to fight, not knowing just how fast this is about to boil over.
15:34Live now, with my landlord, because they are with the police officer, taking my water off.
15:42Officer, do you see me shaking? Do you see the that they've done to me for the last nine years?
15:47After years of fighting with her landlords, a renter reaches her boiling point, when she catches them shutting off water
15:54to her home over a late bill.
15:56Officer, do you see me shaking?
15:58Yep, nine years, I've worked nine years to live in this place.
16:01I've done everything you've demanded, I've cut my own trees, and yet you still come and damage my landscape.
16:07Look it, I trimmed my own tree! They didn't even do that! I need marijuana because of you, bitch! That's
16:13why I need marijuana!
16:14And while recreational marijuana use is legal in Ohio, the accusations only add fuel to the fire.
16:22Okay, go lay down. He senses my anxiety. I'm sorry, he is the therapeutic dog.
16:26I'm the only person in this lot rent that pays a dog fee. The only person in 58 lots that
16:31pays a dog fee.
16:33Oh, you're right, because five of them are not rented. All I know is I am the only dog owner
16:38that pays a pet fee. The only dog owner.
16:41You're the only one. You're the only one. I'm the only one. My lawn's mowed. My stuff's done.
16:47At this point, the woman stops recording. She claims her landlords do turn off the water and leave.
16:54But she successfully gets it turned back on after paying her bill.
16:58After the incident, she moves out to avoid any more conflict.
17:02In hopes for a quieter life in her new apartment.
17:07Just wait. Just...
17:08I didn't sign the rules.
17:09I didn't sign no rules with that. None.
17:16Where was Saturday? Where is Monday?
17:18We were working.
17:19We were working.
17:20In Pinehurst, North Carolina, a landscaping crew is working on a residential yard.
17:25Only one neighbor would much rather hear the sound of silence than the buzz of a leaf blower.
17:31If you want to be mad at somebody, be mad at the person who employed us, okay?
17:33Because it's been going for over an hour.
17:35Well, I don't know what you wanted to do.
17:37It's work.
17:37The crew says they're just doing their job.
17:40But their Sunday shift hits a nerve with the guy across the street.
17:44It's 2 o'clock.
17:46It's Sunday.
17:47It's 2 o'clock.
17:48It's Sunday.
17:48It's 2 o'clock.
17:50It's...
17:51Sunday.
17:52Some of us have to work Sunday.
17:55Yeah, like it's 10 o'clock at night.
17:57It's like the middle of the day. That's our point. Like...
18:00The point is it's Sunday.
18:02The man in black starts to walk away.
18:04But when the neighbor spots the phone recording,
18:08he comes back even louder than the leaf blowers.
18:11Hey. Here.
18:13You want to slide, too?
18:14Good for you.
18:16That's fine.
18:16Yeah. You feel pretty good about yourself, right?
18:18How do I feel pretty good?
18:20You're coming up.
18:21We're literally working.
18:22You're acting like we're partying.
18:23The neighbor doesn't back down,
18:25despite city rules that permit landscaping work on weekends.
18:29I'm trying to watch the TV in here.
18:32Okay, that's not my...
18:33I'm not going to stop my work schedule because you want to watch TV.
18:37Good for you.
18:38I know.
18:39Good guy.
18:42The neighbor stomps back inside to enjoy what's left of his Sunday.
18:46And the landscaping crew finishes the job.
18:50After the run-in, they can only hope the next noise on this block
18:53comes from a leaf blower, not a blow-up.
18:57It's 2 o'clock.
18:59It's Sunday.
19:01Some of us have to work Sunday.
19:08Neighborhoods come alive when kids find friends right outside their front door.
19:12But what if you're the kid with no one to play with?
19:15Like this 11-year-old in Amarillo, Texas, who has a hard time finding friends who live close to home.
19:23Um, I just wanted to see if you knew any kids around, like, 11 or 12, maybe,
19:31because I need some friends, like, really bad.
19:34Trying to scout out more pals in his neighborhood,
19:37he visits his next-door neighbor's home to ask for help.
19:41So the house to your right, there's two kids that live there.
19:45Yeah, that direction.
19:46Um, uh, that one or that one?
19:49The first one that you pointed to.
19:51This one?
19:53Unfortunately, he already knows the kids in the house to his right.
19:57Well, um, they're not my friends anymore, because, um, they're bullies to me.
20:02Oh, I'm sorry about that, man.
20:04They keep bullying me.
20:07He becomes more direct.
20:09I mean, well, do you, do you have any kids?
20:12Yeah, she's two years old, though, man.
20:14I got her.
20:15Oh! Okay, that's great!
20:17Because I actually, I actually, I love two-year-olds, to be honest.
20:23They're, they're just, like, the most cutest things I have ever known.
20:30Cool, man.
20:32Yeah, man, we just got a little baby, so.
20:36Seeing that his search is fruitless, he leaves his neighbor's house.
20:40If I see you around, I'll, I'll tell you how.
20:43Okay.
20:44You have a good day.
20:46But his neighbor doesn't stop there.
20:49He posts the doorbell video to social media, where it amasses over 70 million views.
20:56Soon after, the neighborhood comes together to throw a rally for the child.
21:00He says the experience completely changes his life.
21:04He now has an entire community of new friends.
21:07I need some friends.
21:09Like, two really bad.
21:11Go in, go!
21:12Go, go!
