OVERVIEW
On September 24,2012, resident, Bobby Rasulina, entered a compliant through our dynamic portal stating "The resident at 1840 Mason Mill Rd (Mr. Avery) has posted over 8 signs (spray painted on black plastic bags, 15 blowup holiday balloons, monkeys hanging by the neck on ropes, a larger than life cross with non-sensical writings, and other items, in his front yard. Mr. Avery has a history of arrests and mental health and/or drug abuse issues and these items in his yard are scaring the neighborhood. People are afraid to walk past his property. DeKalb commissioner's office is aware of his issues and the police are repeatedly out there due to his harassment towards neighbors. His balloons are also causing financial harm to property owners trying to sell or rent homes in the neighborhood. He was putting signs up on Saturday with his face painted white. The cross sign is offensive to Christian believers in the area. His is hearing impaired. Please proceed with caution he can be verbally aggressive. We as a neighborhood need your assistance in protecting our property values, integrity of our personal believes, and safety of the families in the neighborhood."

James Avery Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing side by side deep in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The birch says, "How can this be, for I know not man." Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker into. Click on link to read more. "http://minusfleshequalswaterandspirits.blogspot.com/...

Hello Dante,
Are you even aware the "FAG" word was never an issue brought up during the Snyder vs Phelps hearings before SCOTUS ruling 8-1 in favor of the Phelps family. As an self avowed practicing homosexual, it offended me seeing you had blotted out the "FAG" word on one of my signs. By having that sign out in my yard, every time someone drives by my house yelling "FAGGOT," I can't help but laugh. When you beat them to it, it's just another word for homosexual. In other words, I'm outing them, the hostile elements within this neighborhood that otherwise flies below the radar until too late.
How about doing a follow-up to this trial, but do it right this time. Actually interviewing me this time around; in the present of these others you interviewed.
Sincerely yours,
James E. Avery, D.V.M.
FYI The graphic signs with the monkeys hanging by their necks: They generally mean being of sound mind and body. They also can mean, looking the other way, refusing to acknowledge, feigning ignorance. When spinning both perspective into a single narrative, they end up cancelling each other out being most unhelpful; might as well hang them. Six years later, when more than happy explaining the meaning of these monkeys to anyone willing asking/listening; there's just no good excuse for anyone my neighborhood not already knowing this.

James Avery - "What you do with those other people, I do not care. That's your business. But why drag the Jews into this?! What do the Jews have to do with any of this?!" - An old man refusing to pull his car into my driveway but determined I hear something he was needing to say to me, I had walked out into the street and stood in the median as close to his car as I could... only to hear this!? - "Those signs are their opinions. Those signs are my attempts trying to show my neighbors the difference between their signs and my signs. It's possible to be both...you know," i said to him. - He immediately begins driving off while at the same time yelling something (vulgar ? I suspose ) through the opened window of his car I was not able making out. And this made me mad as there had been no need for hurry as there was yet a car to be seen coming up behind him heading in the direction of Clairmont. - "IT'S NOT YOUR LAND! YOU CAN JUST SHOVE THAT THOUGHT UP YOUR CHOSEN ASS," I yelled after him.

When having two of the same thing you only need but one; THANK GOD FOR DEAD SOLDIERS and MASON MILL'S SUSIE SCARR GOOD SHOOTING FOR LEFTOVERS!"- "As a father thought his son died protecting our first amendment rights to freedom of speech/freedom of expression while don't ask / don't tell was still in effect, how do we even know that dead soldier wasn't a...FAGGOT...as well? When having two of the same thing you only need but one; I suppose only thing stopping a ... BAD ... FAGGOT ... with a bunch of signs would have to be a ... TOKEN ... FAGGOT ... with a petition!" - Snyder v. Phelps, 562 U.S. 443 (2011), is a landmark United States Supreme Court case where the Supreme Court ruled that speech on a matter of public concern, on a public street, cannot be the basis of liability for a tort of emotional distress, even in the circumstances that the speech is viewed or interpreted as "offensive" or "outrageous".
The case brought up the issue of whether or not the First Amendment was capable of protecting public protestors at a funeral against emotional distress, better known as tort liability. It involved a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress by Albert Snyder, a gay man whose son Matthew Snyder, a Marine, was killed during the Iraq War. The claim was made in response to the actions of the Phelps family as well as the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) who were also present at the picketing of the funeral. The Court ruled in favor of Phelps in an 8-1 decision, determining that their speech related to a public issue was completely protected, and could not be prevented as it was on public property.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snyder_v._Phelps - - - - - ALITO DISSENT - In this case, respondents brutally attacked Matthew Snyder, and this attack, which was almost certain to inflict injury, was central to respondents’ well-practiced strategy for attracting public attention.
On the morning of Matthew Snyder’s funeral, respondents could have chosen to stage their protest at countless locations. They could have picketed the United States Capitol, the White House, the Supreme Court, the Pentagon, or any of the more than 5,600 military recruiting stations in this country. They could have returned to the Maryland State House or the United States Naval Academy, where they had been the day before. They could have selected any public road where pedestrians are allowed. (There are more than 4,000,000 miles of public roads in the United States. 2 ) They could have staged their protest in a public park. (There are more than 20,000 public parks in this country. 3 ) They could have chosen any Catholic church where no funeral was taking place. (There are nearly 19,000 Catholic churches in the United States. 4 ) But of course, a small group picketing at any of these locations would have probably gone unnoticed.
The Westboro Baptist Church, however, has devised a strategy that remedies this problem. As the Court notes, church members have protested at nearly 600 military funerals. Ante , at 1. They have also picketed the funerals of police officers, 5 firefighters, 6 and the victims of natural disasters, 7 accidents, 8 and shocking crimes. 9 And in advance of these protests, they issue press releases to ensure that their protests will attract public attention. 10
This strategy works because it is expected that respondents’ verbal assaults will wound the family and friends of the deceased and because the media is irresistibly drawn to the sight of persons who are visibly in grief. The more outrageous the funeral protest, the more publicity the Westboro Baptist Church is able to obtain. Thus, when the church recently announced its intention to picket the funeral of a 9-year-old girl killed in the shooting spree in Tucson—proclaiming that she was “better off dead” 11 —their announcement was national news, 12 and the church was able to obtain free air time on the radio in exchange for canceling its protest. 13 Similarly, in 2006, the church got air time on a talk radio show in exchange for canceling its threatened protest at the funeral of five Amish girls killed by a crazed gunman. 14
In this case, respondents implemented the Westboro Baptist Church’s publicity-seeking strategy. Their press release stated that they were going “to picket the funeral of Lance Cpl. Matthew A. Snyder” because “God Almighty killed Lance Cpl. Snyder. He died in shame, not honor—for a fag nation cursed by God … . Now in Hell—sine die.” Supp. App. in No. 08–1026 (CA4), p. 158a. This announcement guaranteed that Matthew’s funeral would be transformed into a raucous media event and began the wounding process. It is well known that anticipation may heighten the effect of a painful event.
On the day of the funeral, respondents, true to their word, displayed placards that conveyed the message promised in their press release. Signs stating “God Hates You” and “Thank God for Dead Soldiers” reiterated the message that God had caused Matthew’s death in retribution for his sins. App. to Brief for Appellants in No. 08–1026 (CA4), pp. 3787, 3788 (hereinafter App.). Others, stating “You’re Going to Hell” and “Not Blessed Just Cursed,” conveyed the message that Matthew was “in Hell—sine die.” Id., at 3783.
Even if those who attended the funeral were not alerted in advance about respondents’ intentions, the meaning of these signs would not have been missed. Since respondents chose to stage their protest at Matthew Snyder’s funeral and not at any of the other countless available venues, a reasonable person would have assumed that there was a connection between the messages on the placards and the deceased. Moreover, since a church funeral is an event that naturally brings to mind thoughts about the afterlife, some of respondents’ signs— e.g ., “God Hates You,” “Not Blessed Just Cursed,” and “You’re Going to Hell”—would have likely been interpreted as referring to God’s judgment of the deceased.https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/09-751.ZD.html
