I live in an ok section of town, but our old neighbors moved out and new neighbors moved in. This is an apartment complex. New neighbors fight every single night for hours. Cops have been called on them multiple times but they never stop arguing. The landlord says she's kicking them out at the end of the month, but they still continue banging around, arguing, and last night the guy involved smashed the woman's car window and broke her apartment window as well.
Cops were called again, I could hear them asking her in the hallway about the incident, she mentioned the boyfriend had a glock (gun). Cops asked her why there was blood on her shirt, she stated it was his shirt (and his blood) and that he smashed her car window and apparently cut himself badly like a dumbass from the glass shards.
I don't have a gun in my apartment because my wife is fearful of guns. She's paranoid about the neighbors, since the other night when they had a huge argument someone tried jiggling our doorknob (trying to see if it was open I guess?)
We're moving to another apartment in 3 weeks as we've had it with this place, obviously the landlord wasn't selective on who they let in. When we first signed our lease, our neighbors were a quiet couple who had a baby and were still way more quiet even with a crying infant than these people over there now.
So my wife and I are debating what's the best way to deal with this situation. My wife works from home so it's driving her batty and we can't seem to get a good nights rest as the neighbors love to slam doors and scream at the top of their lungs at each other. The cops have been called so many times I've lost count. Two nights ago when the cops came (and this time it was the lady herself who called them - apparently for her boyfriend being abusive), they found the guy on the street, had him in the patrol car, and asked her if she wanted to press charges - and of course she says "no". So they had to let him go, since she won't press charges, then he just goes back in there with her and they start arguing again.
What the heck can I do in this situation besides put up with it? Since I heard the woman say her boyfriend has a gun (and one time we heard him throw her out into the hallway and cock the gun at her - we heard the gun click when he pointed it at her and yelled at her to get out), I don't want to go over there and confront them. I've called the cops too many times to count and they just never seem to do anything. The dude involved seems like he's just crazy - literally. The cops the other night said that he was talking all kinds of insane stuff when they picked him up but didn't have the gun with him at that time - it was most likely still in the apartment.
The woman herself is totally senseless. She won't press charges and won't dispose of his gun, and keeps accepting him back into her life. The whole situation seems just retarded.
Cliffs:
* Neighbors fight constantly every night
* Boyfriend of neighbor has a gun and threatened her in the hallway right next to our apt door
* Cops called so many times I lost count but won't do anything
* Landlord says they're getting kicked out but they are still there
