Jesse is not getting the reaction he is looking for
from us. It was the same spot where we recently saw
a Red Votive candle burning outdoors throughout the
evening and into the night. The candle was on a stump,
under an evergreen tree near a bed of pine needles—
not the safest place to burn a candle out doors.
Maybe there were other intentions? We saw Jesse
t was dark. Then as we were talking, 4 rapid same
caliber
gun shots came from Brett Schneider's property near the
fire they were burning. We said to the Cop "did you
hear that?" Ptlm. Haggerty said, "Now that I heard." At first the
cop wastrying to make us feel like we were making it up...
that we would fabricate evidence, that we may have mistaken gun
fire at a distance and it was not coming from
neighboring properties. I told him "I would take a polygraph test
if he wanted me to prove I wasn't lying" and he showed
apprehension by my request—like I was making a threat.
We believe Haggerty was giving us the impression he was protecting our neighbors and knew what was going on,
playing games again. He then went up to Brett Schnieder's after hearing the gun fire and then came back. His first response was "Boy, you sure have some neighbors." He said
that Brett didn't hear any gunfire and was preparing for a party and it could have been another neighbor. Haggerty
said he got "in his face" (referring to his speaking to
Brett). There was a fire burning in Brett's backyard which was
in the vicinity of the gun fire that the patrolman witnessed in
our presence. The fire began burning right before
sunset. We actually thought that some resolve would
occur but againfelt totally dismissed. We were told by the township that fires at night are not permissible. We suspect it is some sort of Witchcraft ritual(another story). We believe the
Patrolmanknew who was doing the gunfire and had given it a wink
and a nod and protecting them. The gunfire does violate the
township ordinance of shooting a firearm within 150
YARDS ofan occupied property. Both incidences of gunfire were
about30 to 60 feet away at best. And you can't discharge a
gun at night. Another note was that our videos don't show the
back porch light lit. The light is on day and night-
something we can't help but observe. It was probably turned off to provide cover.
An addendum to what Jerry wrote about the gun fire from
Repash + Schneider New Year's Eve, 12/31/11...
When Ptlm. Haggerty arrived, I met his vehicle at the
property line where we keep a sawhorse barrier across
the drive. After he got out and we were speaking, I saw
Jesse briefly stick his head out his front door, then come
over to the window at his "study". It appeared he was on the
phone.
As Ptlm. Haggerty drove up the drive to go to Schneider's to investigate the gunfire after Brett fired the 4 or 5 shots, I walked up our common drive to the property line to
make certain he got out OK. I could see Jesse Repash again at his
"study" window, appearing to be on the phone. It is my beliefthat he was probably calling Brett, telling him that the
Officer was on his way up to see him.
Ptlm. Haggerty said since Brett or Jesse wasn't viewed
or caught with a smoking gun, there was nothing he could
do. That seems absurd. So we asked him "What do we do in
the future when this happens, as it will continue to happen and
escalate. What do we do if one of us is shot?" The only answer was "continue to call 911". The Police report of the
investigation of the bullet hole we discovered in our outdoor security shade on Nov.13 ,in our opinion, is an insult. And, we could actually hear someone walking around near our
property line near our pond in between the rapid fire being discharged by their high caliber firearm-they were that close.We were really spooked because at any moment a bullet
could have come our way. There were branches snapping as they walked. We now have a hunch and suspect that it was
Brett or his adult son doing the shooting. He has been seen regularly hanging out next door with Jesse. There was a time recently when he was standing near the shared property line with
Jesse staring over here. It was the day that Jesse's ATV got stuck in the mud right outside our window.
