Irate Woman Protested Neighbor with a Bullhorn (Page 2 of 2)

Judge Judy asked if he knew where it came from.

Mr. Hasley assumed it came from her yard.

He reasoned that it was in his yard and had to come over the fence.

He admitted he did not actually see the debris tossed over the fence.

He was just assuming that was its origin.

The Bullhorn Video

Mr. Hasley presented a video to Judge Judy.

He stated it was his video.

He had installed a camera at some point.

He clarified that this video depicted something that happened much later.

The video was recorded on July 20 of the current year.

The video showed Ms. Blavasky using a bullhorn.

She was screaming profanities.

Judge Judy watched the video.

She commented on Ms. Blavasky's behavior.

Ms. Blavasky's Justification for the Bullhorn

Ms. Blavasky explained her use of the bullhorn.

She claimed Mr. Hasley had been harassing her for two and a half years.

She stated he would not leave her alone.

She said he called the police every time a twig fell in his yard.

She described the bullhorn incident as her "last resort."

She claimed she had tried to contact various authorities.

She felt she had no alternative.

Judge Judy's Scrutiny of Mr. Hasley

Judge Judy returned to the initial trimming incident.

She asked Mr. Hasley if he had just finished his coffee.

She asked if he had gone over to have a conversation with his neighbor.

She suggested he might have said, "If you're going to trim, I think it's a nice thing to do to pick up after yourself."

Mr. Hasley denied saying that.

He confirmed he was annoyed.

He went outside and confronted her.

Judge Judy distinguished between polite aggressive and polite neighborly behavior.

She stated she knew who Ms. Blavasky was.

She also stated she knew who Mr. Hasley was.

Judge Judy's Assessment of Both Parties

Judge Judy told Mr. Hasley he had too much time on his hands.

She suggested he was making a big deal about nothing.

She advised him to get a job.

She stated she was not supporting either party.

She suggested they would continue to drive each other crazy in their old age.

She offered an alternative: one of them should sell their house.

She warned them about continuing to call the police unnecessarily.

She also warned Ms. Blavasky about annoying her neighbors with a bullhorn.

Judge Judy said people would call her the "crazy old lady."

She imagined telling her children that if she lived across the street.

Ms. Blavasky's Age and Alternatives

Ms. Blavasky stated she had no alternative.

Judge Judy asked her age.

Ms. Blavasky replied she was 66.

Judge Judy stated that by 66 years of age, she should know there are alternatives to acting like a fool.

Ms. Blavasky insisted she had tried.

She claimed Mr. Hasley had driven her insane.

Her main concern was not letting a precedent be set.

She reiterated that he had harassed her for two and a half years.

She wanted him to leave her alone.
