Our next door neighbor, and us , are the only Asians in the neighborhood. Our Vietnamese neighbors are elderly couple. Their car is in their garage, ours is on the driveway.
We have 2 suspects….. maybe some person who blames us Asians for the pandemic.
Another is my ex-boyfriend. He did this before when I broke up with him about 2 years ago. I suspect he went to my Facebook ……. and saw something that enraged him again.
I wrote several posts about this… I’ve NEVER talked about my lovelife and relationships until it happened. Cops in the neighborhood, our neighbors confronting him, and restraining order.
We even had to install a CCTV at our house….. unfortunately, it was off this time…. We thought it was safe now.
Sigh. Here we go again.

I am so sorry. Our country is decompensating thanks to racist trumpites.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 19, 2020 at 5:45 pm
Ma’m Cindy, we’ve been in the neighborhood for more than 20 years. They know us…. I really suspect the ex.
Posted by Becky Morgan on July 19, 2020 at 5:47 pm
That is so scary! My gosh!
Posted by renxkyoko on July 19, 2020 at 5:49 pm
I know, right? Becky, do you still remember my posts about those incidents ?
Posted by Becky Morgan on July 19, 2020 at 5:51 pm
Yes. It has been a while since you posted about your ex
Posted by renxkyoko on July 19, 2020 at 5:55 pm
Right. (sigh) Our neighbors know us, and it’s a very quiet neighborhood. I don’t know… we had informed the Neighborhood watch laready.
Posted by Becky Morgan on July 19, 2020 at 5:59 pm
You have neighborhood watch. That is good. I don’t. It is nice that your neighbors are watching out for you ✌️🥰
Especially during these times.
Posted by Shadow Girl on July 19, 2020 at 6:19 pm
OMG, I’m so relieved that everyone is OK…this time. I don’t know which is the lesser of the two evils in this situation, and be careful all around.
I gave a sort of chuckle when I read that your security cam didn’t catch anything…story of my life, sister.
Block Creepy McGee from all your social media, and make sure everyone knows what everyone looks like these days… yup, stalk them back!
Posted by renxkyoko on July 19, 2020 at 6:45 pm
OMG, I don’t which is the lesser evil, either. If it was the ex, ….. Wow, the bitterness ran so deep. But that was almost 2 years ago ! ! * sigh *
Posted by Shadow Girl on July 19, 2020 at 11:47 pm
That makes him all the more dangerous.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 20, 2020 at 12:40 am
~.~ Now I’m worried.
Posted by Shadow Girl on July 20, 2020 at 10:23 am
Oh, hon, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to frighten you more!! I just have two sisters and we’ve been through some shit in our lives, more than one psycho stalker ex. I just didn’t want you to blow off the ex, and put all your energy into racists – and be caught unguarded. I truly apologize for freaking you out.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 20, 2020 at 2:18 pm
Oh, no, no. I’m not that worried. It was worse when I broke up with him so much so that our neighbors were the ones who confronted him when they saw him ( and his friend) lurking around . The day before that, we called the cops, and 4 cop cars arrived. ( second time ) Everything that happened was all in my posts .
This happened to my sister, too ! ! For months, her co-workers had to escort her out to the parking lot. Once she called the cops….and they told her they couldn’t do anything to the guy because it wasn’t illegal to “STARE” at her ! ! ! ( She was part-timing at WalMart , and that guy would just stand there where she was at, and STARE ! ! Her co-workers would just tell the guy to leave the premises ) Ugh. Some people couldn’t accept rejection. There was a case where an ex shot a bride dead at her house when she stepped out of her house to go to the church. The incident was in the video. That’s the kind of person that women should be afraid of.

Ex boyfriends and girlfriends may get enraged to the point of doing this kind of things but spouses get no less enraged.
Anger and lovelife are closely tied…
I experience similar degrees of anger when my wife is mainit ang ulo…
Posted by renxkyoko on July 19, 2020 at 6:51 pm
As @Shadow girl commented, I don’t kow which is worse… an angry citizen, or an angry ex.
Posted by Eduardo Maresca on July 19, 2020 at 6:56 pm
…or an angry spouse….”anger is a wind that blows out the lamp of the mind”.
I experience I great deal of anger, pretty much on a daily basis
Posted by renxkyoko on July 19, 2020 at 7:03 pm
Oh…. O-O… e’…. triste ?
Posted by Eduardo Maresca on July 19, 2020 at 7:04 pm
No, it’s just normal…
Posted by renxkyoko on July 19, 2020 at 7:15 pm
Cioe…. comunque, stai bene.
It just so happens I’m right now translating something from Italian to English, a story, so my translator is readily available, lol.
Posted by soullfire on July 19, 2020 at 6:20 pm
Any of your neighbors on the block have a door cam? One of them may have picked up something. Also check police reports to see if other vehicles in the area or nearby blocks were affected. On the bright side, it’s just property, which is easy to replace compared to someone being hurt.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 19, 2020 at 6:50 pm
There’s one, not directly across from ours, ( about 1 house away , also it only shows the road in front of their house,… the other neighbors don’t have a cam… we already asked.
Posted by Eduardo Maresca on July 19, 2020 at 7:31 pm
Tutto bene!
Cool, Google Translator is a great tool indeed.
Sometimes it does a(n almost) decent job
Posted by renxkyoko on July 19, 2020 at 7:43 pm
I don’t know about Italian to English coz I don’t know Italian.. but I know Google translate does a decent translation from Spanish to English, because I’m more familiar with the Spanish language.

That’s awful. 🙁
I’m so sorry.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 19, 2020 at 11:11 pm
Insurance will take care of this, but the fear…..
Posted by Ken Dowell on July 19, 2020 at 9:21 pm
Hard to say which is worse: a nasty racist or a deranged ex-boyfriend. Hope whoever it is goes away.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 19, 2020 at 11:09 pm
I know…. we have so many problems already… then this… aargh.
Posted by Tony "T-Bird" Burgess on July 20, 2020 at 1:15 am
How horrible and very scary. I hope you will find out who did this and may justice be served. Be safe my friend.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 20, 2020 at 4:28 pm
I highly doubt we’ll ever find out. We can just speculate. It wasn’t just an ordinary vandalism. I felt the rage when I saw the damage. Parts of the interior was damaged too. I don’t know how the insurance will fix this.
Posted by arlene on July 20, 2020 at 1:32 am
This is indeed scary. Be careful Ren, that’s a major damage to your car.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 20, 2020 at 4:29 pm
Tita, even some parts of the interior were damaged. The one who did this was really angry, and it looked so personal. It wasn’t an ordinary vandalism.
Posted by arlene on July 21, 2020 at 12:10 am
Dapat yan managot sa ginawa niya.
Posted by Markus + Micah on July 20, 2020 at 3:25 am
I hope the cops are able to sort this out. Please stay safe and healthy. Whichever of the two reasons you suspect is true, it is not fun at all.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 20, 2020 at 2:26 pm
I don’t think the cops can sort this out. All we can do is take care of ourselves, and not allow any psycho to scare us.
Posted by Markus + Micah on July 20, 2020 at 2:34 pm
Empowered thoughts. I hope you stay safe and strong through this.
Posted by AGE on July 20, 2020 at 11:26 am
Oh, Ingat Ren!
Posted by renxkyoko on July 20, 2020 at 2:22 pm
Thanks ! Our house is now all lit up the whole night. We;re being careful now. The cops wouldn’t be able to solve this, no witnesses and all that stuff. It’s now really up to us to take care of ourselves.
Posted by imagesbytdashfield on July 20, 2020 at 2:45 pm
The hate and stupidity in the world (and in this country egged on by a certain orange someone IMO) is ridiculous! Please take care and be careful. Have you thought about setting up any security cameras?
Posted by renxkyoko on July 20, 2020 at 3:19 pm
We actually had one installed after the ex-boyfriend incident 2 years ago… it was off when this happened again. o-O” Dad has put it back on.
Posted by TWWK on July 21, 2020 at 4:16 am
One can never know, but based on my own experience, something like that is so fueled by a personal anger that I would agree that it’s likely someone that is angry specially at you rather than at Asians in general. Destructive and risky.
I hope that y’all can recover quickly from this, both the shock of it and the stress of repairing the damages. I’ll be in prayer for you.
Posted by Ken Powell on July 21, 2020 at 11:06 am
Very sorry to hear this is happening. I too suspect the ex here. Horrible. I hope the police are able to find out 😔
Posted by renxkyoko on July 21, 2020 at 1:14 pm
We’ve been living in this neighbirhood for over 20 years. Neighbors always see my mother outside watering the plants, cleaning the frontyard ,etc. It’s a very quiet neighborhood, The damage was done by someone who was vey, very angry. And this happened after I updated my Facebook .
Posted by Ken Powell on July 21, 2020 at 4:01 pm
Was there something there he would particularly dislike?
Posted by renxkyoko on July 21, 2020 at 7:13 pm
My Facebook updates.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 21, 2020 at 1:28 pm
Thanks, TWWK. It was dejavu . i don’t want to accuse a specific person, but I felt the damage was done by someone who was enraged and had personal grudge againts me. I don’t think it was done by a regular garden variety racist.
Posted by equinoxio21 on July 24, 2020 at 12:47 am
Jesus! Whoever it is, it just shows how low humanity is falling everyday. (The clown on Penn Avenue fanning the fire). I hope they catch the “perp”. How stupid can some people be? Stay safe. 🙏🏻
Posted by renxkyoko on July 29, 2020 at 6:54 pm
With so many problems in the world, one stupid person has to add this.
Posted by equinoxio21 on July 30, 2020 at 12:54 am
Exactly. As an old friend of mine told me last year in Paris: “I don’t understand this world any more…” Stay safe. In all senses.
Posted by JT Styles on July 24, 2020 at 3:59 am
So sorry you are going through this 💔
Posted by renxkyoko on July 29, 2020 at 6:51 pm
Thank you… I guess it will take a while before we feel safe.
Posted by John Hric on July 25, 2020 at 1:49 pm
I am glad you are all safe. There are a lot of crazy angry people in the world now. Sorry one of them decided to focus their attention on you. Stay safe.
Posted by Peter Wells aka Countingducks on August 1, 2020 at 7:37 am
The funny thing is, even when you are ranting and frothing in fine style you just put a smile on my face because everything you say and express is so genuine and natural. I’m sure I agree with at least 90% of your opinions and the various discords and tensions you mention unsettle me as well. I pray the world is given some kind of reprieve on Nov 3rd. Stay safe and thank you for being you 🙂

Thank you for the kind words,as always, Peter Wels !

this country is filled with ignorant racist morons and ignorant morons who are just plain ignorant morons. keep that CCTV on (the cops just might – might) do something if you see these thugs…and stay strong. continue…
Posted by johncoyote on August 17, 2020 at 3:20 pm
People are so dumb. It is sad what people can do. Racism and hate. Foolish people need to blame someone for their useless lives. Stay safe my friend.
