Because no one should have to live next door, across the street or in the neighborhood with this type of crazy! If he wants to make a statement he should stand on a public street corner. He is also potentially dangerous as he threatened one of my friends' parents that live near him.

I grew up in the house across the street. My parents moved from the house in part because they were tired of dealing with Mr. Ed's signs, blow-up decorations, and his harassing nature both on a personal level as well as with my parents' prior employer and with their church. My parents and others have had to seek restraining orders to keep Mr. Ed from harassing them with his vulgar language and threatening comments. Unfortunately, this has not really slowed Mr. Ed down. I helped my parents rent the property after they moved. The property was impossible to rent to families. One family admitted they were concerned with Mr. Ed and his front yard antics (especially some of the vulgar language on some of the signs). We ended up renting to a company from out of state that needed a place in the area for its subcontractors to live temporarily. These guys were experienced gun owners and thus were not scared by Mr. Ed thankfully. Mr. Ed also distracts drivers with signs, waiving flags, costumes, and this is quite distracting to drivers and pedestrians rounding this known dangerous curve in the neighborhood.Mr. Ed has admitted in emails and postings on the internet to having used or presently using illegal drugs. His actions and behavior are, to be blunt, nothing less than scary. In this day and age where we see unstable people turning violent, his ongoing presence in the neighborhood I grew up in is quite concerning and needs to be aggressively fought by the county and/or state authorities.

We are so offended and even frightened at the offensive language on the many signs and bizarre behavior of the occupant in front of the house on Mason Mill in Decatur. Surely there is something that can be done to end this. I have seen it for years but it seems it has increased significantly. We wonder where this will lead to and ask that steps be taken to cease this activity.

My grandparents live across the street from the house in question. They have faced years of harassment and they were in essence force from the home they lived in for over 60 years. I, and every other member of our family, simply want my grandparents to live their golden years in peace.

I drive past every day to and from work. It is a maniacal rage of rude,vulgar and offensive items. Purposely distracting drivers. No clear message or reason other than to annoy neighbors. Abuse of overstated freedom of expression. Many times has fowl language and suggestive themes.

I work 0.2 miles from 1840. I pass the abomination regularly, and the insanity has worsened for years now. I’m amazed that he has not been stopped. For the benefit of all including himself, he should be hospitalized and all yard ornamentation disposed of.

I lived across from this address growing up, and witnessed and/or heard many frightening accidents on that dangerous curve over the years. The addition of bizarre and inappropriate signs and displays, and often obscene behavior, right at that dangerous curve, tips the scales significantly.

My family owns 1841 Mason Mill Rd. directly across the street from 1840. The owner of 1840 has harassed my family personally and online for years without provocation. My parents moved out as a result. We may never be able to sell property with the psychotic, drug-induced behaviors and outrageous, profane displays in the front yard of 1840. Be advised that he is a relentless, sadistic provocateur who enjoys notoriety and confrontation. Thank you for your prompt action.

I own the property directly across. I have witnessed several unsafe conditions caused by this individual including locked braking and alarmed drivers due to brilliant colored flags being waved near traffic flow. I have witness very inappropriate language on signs. I have witness person sitting naked in lawn chair in driveway. I have had the person verbally harass me and person I have hired to perform work at my home. These behaviors are lowering property appeal and thus value in the local area.

There was a sign saying, "sometimes you have to pick up a gun to put down a gun." I found this very disturbing as is the full-face sock-monkey mask. This person is escalating his disruptive activities. If he "goes off the rails" do we want to look back and say, why didn't someone do something to intervene?

I'm signing because I am offended at many of the signs out front. The language on many is extremely offensive. Freedom of speech is wonderful but this house is not acting on that right. The residents seem to only be interested in posting offensive, hateful, downright nasty signs in their yard!

we went past this house 3 days ago for a boy scout picnic at a park 1/4 mile away. I was trying to read and drive but only got bits of any sign. One seemed very offensive but I didn't have time to confirm that it said what I thought it said. When leaving the picnic, a clown type person was out there waiving to all the passerbys.

As a retired pastor, I am familiar with the tragedy of people afflicted with behavior like Jim Ed Avery's, but have never experienced before such prolonged neglect of his mental illness, his safety, and that of an entire neighborhood. Intervention has been needed and legally appropriate for years. His aggressive and threatening stance is a clear harbinger of violence, with signs of actual domestic terrorism. May God deliver him and us from such an outcome, with the hoped for aid of Delalb County.

A number of the resident's signs are offensive and some even contain profanity. The signs and blow-up figures are an eyesore and threaten to lower property values in the area, making it difficult for neighbors adjacent to the resident's house or across form it to see their homes.

The county should enforce the law. The signs violate a number of ordinances and the residents flag waiving is an obvious attempt to draw drivers eyes away from a road that is marked as "curvy" and has traffic calming devices already. Drivers also often stop in front of the house to read the signs which also creates a hazard.

my children and I have to pass this way every day to school and work, my parents live on the next street and it has been horrible for them to see the language and matter that is displayed. also the signs are so close to the path they are distracting for when kids ride bikes or walk.

In addition to the facts in Mr. Rasulnia's letter, at times the resident wears masks while he is flag dancing and yelling at cars. At times he has some sort of toy gun that shoots bubbles at the cars on Mason Mill, and is otherwise disturbing. An obvious change has taken place in this person. Up until about 10 years ago, he used to have appropriate, tasteful holiday decorations in his yard for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. But something made him take a change for the worse. I do my best to ignore him but, it just needs to stop.

This guy is a community nuisance, offensive, in violation, and direct defiance to county code ordinances. County code allows 24 sq ft ground signage 10 feet back from sidewalk. This resident has 120 sq ft ground signage, 5 times the allowable amount. Not to mention the seasonal inflatables, flag dancing, and yelling at cars. I want DeKalb county to uphold county codes to limit his infringement on my persuit of happiness.
