There are way too many people that brush off their bad actions and attitude...throw the book at them!!!!!

As to laughing....not bloody likely if you know the law.
I believe you are correct. I regularly say there is a difference between right, wrong and legal. We do not know the whole story. Sadly it does not seem there is anyway, according to the posts that this will end well. My mother and sister used to read Ann Landers advice column. I think she has passed away. Advice from others, including those who mean well. If, it goes bad they will simply give advice to others. "Throw the book at them." The goal SHOULD BE to solve the problem and not be spending the rest of your time being hostile neighbors. Been there and done that. Not the only reason we left New York but we did have the neighbors from hell. I heard a few years ago that his wife TRASH PERSONIFIED left him and he died of cancer. We would have left anyway BUT............... Oh and his kid went to jail for dealing drugs.
