1:30 PM and I wake up to the sound of someone banging on my door like a mad man while simultaneously raping the door bell. I grab my morning robe and go to the door and for whatever reason I decided to open the door for this mad man. Immediately he starts harassing me and talks nonsense. He's angry I was sleeping, he looks around the house and tells me it's a Farking mess. I ask what the **** is going on and he starts screaming about the noise me and my friends are apparently making.

I tell him he has to cool the **** down and get the **** out of my house. He responds to this by telling me he was a special forces marine (this dude was like WAY big and I'm 5"9 70kg). Next thing I know he grabs my robe by the neck and pushes me up against my hallway closet and starts going crazy. He's shouting at me, pointing at me, he has a look of Farking insane death. I think I am going to get Farking raped right about now. I mentally assume the fetal position and wish for the womb but for whatever reason he decides not to completely smash me up.
My roommate wakes up from all the noise and joins us. The mad man is no longer holding me but he's shouting in our faces from like 10 cm distance. He's telling us again he's a motherfucking marine. We tell him to leave and he does and slams the door behind him.

Not 10 seconds later he starts again with the excessive doorbell ringing and starts banging on the door. He's telling us he's going to kick the Farking door in if we don't open up. We tell him we're calling the police and he tells us: "Go ahead! I'm a police reserve officer" (wtf is that, I never even heard of that).
We call the cops and the marine starts circling my house trying all other doors. I sprint around the house and lock all the doors while I wait for the cops. (yes, I'm a hero)
Meanwhile the marine starts talking to our hallway neighbors, asking if they also have noise complaints against us. They don't and the marine takes his leave, although not before banging on the front door and screaming he's going to kick it in.

When the cops come they first wanted to know what we have done to provoke such an attack. (We called for assault but they didn't even ask if we were okay) We tell them about his grievances with us because of noise and the officer proceeds to say that he "can understand that noise problems can be very frustrating", and we "must have done something to deserve this". He asks me and my roommate about our habits which could cause noise problems. We tell him we play PC games a lot during the night (2-5am) and the officer proceeds to label us as "gaming addicts".
He wasn't at all interested in the Farking marine barging into my house shoving me to a closet and proceeding to make me a prisoner in my own home while he's patrolling around it. I told him where he could find witnesses but he said that wasn't necessary. All he did was tell us to buy headphones and be quiet.
When he told me this I was like "wtf", but I didn't really go against it that hard. The police officer just made us into bullies and the psycho marine into a frustrated man without options.

To clarify: the marine doesn't even live in my building. I had only met him once before he did this. The people living in his apartment (the one above ours) are the ones that are supposedly suffering from our noise. The marine himself does not live there, ever.
We have had them coming over to tell us to keep it down one time and I was convinced we did. I suppose they still weren't satisfied after that, but how the **** does that provoke you into sending a psycho marine to my house?

Anyways, the cops that came here didn't ask me to press charges, but I really think I should. I am not sure though, as I don't have enough pants to shit myself anymore in case he comes and patrols my house again. This dude was Farking psycho. Should I press charges or should I just back off and not get Farking raped by a goliath marine? Is pressing charges really gonna fix anything? Does anyone have any experience with psychos like this?

TL;DR: Upstairs neighbors have noise complaints about us (only told us once). They send a Farking marine to our doorstep to intimidate and harass me. The guy is Farking crazy/scary/goliath hulk and grabs me close to my neck and shoves me up my closet. Cops don't take it serious and leave without doing a thing. Dilemma: press charges or not? Maybe I'm overreacting and I'm also scared he's gonna come again if we press charges.

Is basically someone with a reserve cleet that is volunteering at a police department.

- I would press charges if you think he violated your rights or harmed you, but if you don't wanna put up with all the court stuff or w/e, just filing a report or even a protective order should be good enough for future issues.

Dqfuq did I just read? Go press charges you fool ._.

Rush a templar archives and put 3 Dark Templar patrolling your doors. Perfect counter really.
But he is a marine so he might have access to a comsat station :/









On a serious note, press charges

Some1 physically assaults me at home, what do. A question for the ages.

if your going to press charges look over everything little thing, cause it can come back to bite your arse. if he is an ex marine he could of had a flash back or something. idk you have to be really picky with these kind of things.

put on shoes of your neighbors? in any case, I don't know man. Send another 'psycho marine' against him.
Some people are like crazy and easily bothered by something and can't stand it... and they send 'phychos marines'

don't press charges. if you press charges against your neighbours, expect to do so 3/4 times a year. if I were you I would take care of it in another matter

you gotta fight fire with fire

Beware, the spycho marine and the police could be in the same team.

Here's a technique against Goliath, Hulk in danger situation :
- kick his cock hard
- pierce his eyes

And stop playing games in early morning, live like a normal person.

Meh.. he's a Farking clown.
Well anyway, you did the right thing by calling the police.. better to be "safe then sorry."

Why don't you have headphones breh.

LOL wtf? First of all.....why werent you wearing headphones...?
ok jokes
But seriously, id do something about it. Pressing charges would be a bit tedious for me, but at least do something,.

My biggest issue with all thsi... why the hell do you open your doors to crazy psychos... I rarely open my door if I don't recognize who the **** the other person is. I'll just walk away and eventually they give up. If they don't, I ask them THROUGH the door who the **** they are.

2nd, r u a guy or a girl...

If you are a girl, and you have pictures of any type of restraint/physical marks on your throat or body caused by the man, photograph. Also have your roommate be a witness. Then press charges for assault.

If you're a guy... well good luck. You're best bet would be to just not be a dumbass and open doors randomly like that.

Lastly... WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD YOU SAY YOU PLAY GAMES UNTIL 2-5AM RIGHT AFTER a cop asks you if you did something to deserve this...

he is a guy bro, his name is Wouter -.-

Press charges. That guy needs to be locked up or medicated. Either that or it's just another fucking hillbilly who thinks being a Marine makes you special. For some reason, a lot of these military guys think that people are somehow indebted to them so they can do whatever the hell they want. They're mostly a bunch of dumb kids who barely passed HS or got a GED and have no other option because they're too fucking stupid for college - in most cases.

Even if you guys were making a lot of noise, that is not how you file a noise complaint. It's plain harassment and assault.

welcome back?

You're dumb for opening the door.

You're dumb for not having headphones. (srsly wtf?)

You're dumb telling the cops a reason for him to do this.

You're dumb for trying to press charges when the cops got there.

I have no idea what the legal system is like in your country, so I can't really give you much advice there. But I think you should take your neighbours complaints seriously and just buy a headset. Or, better yet, organise a meeting with your neighbours where you go to their apartment, have your friend playing his games with the normal level of volume you use and see if you can hear the noise from their place. Talk to them civilly and try to come up with a fair compromise (after 8pm you use headphones, for example). Though their actions aren't just, their complaints are. If I could hear someone playing video games at 3am and it was waking me up I'd be angry too.

Thanks for sharing your opinions guys. Was really helpful!

Some little facts about Holland:

only 35% of all charges are processed.

only 10% of the charges that are processed actually lead to a conviction.

and only a fraction of those convictions are actually executed.

thats farked up

Next time he comes around piss on him to show dominance.

Too bad holland isn't big on guns.

Castle Doctrine, bitch. You leave my house now.

Lol yeah, if you kill someone in your home, you're pretty much good to go in U.S. Let that be a life lesson, if you kill someone, drag him into your house.

There's no guarantee that you'll get away with it. lulz

In what city was this Wouter?

you just got your ass kicked... Your neighbor asked you nicely, but you ignored it, I think you got what you deserved.

don't press charges.. just wear headphones next time..

As someone who had to spent a year living directly below a 22 year old land lord with super loud parties from 10pm-4am (every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) it would be a lie for me to not affirm that I would have done the same. It's great fun when you have to wake up for work at 5:30 and work overtime most Saturdays.

I really doubt this person is a marine. But if he is and you press charges he will get kicked outa the navy. So this could mean the conflict increase and the crazy fuqer comes back but i would atleast go to the police station to make sure everything is on file. But are you sure these poeple send this person over ?

Edit having been threatend myself several times and been to the police about it i know the police can be extremly slow with this depending on what area you live in

This was in Groningen.

Went to the police today, they told me they didn't have enough to work with to make a good case. They will call the marine and invite him for a talk at the station and that will be it. (At first the officer suggested we talk together with the marine, but we declined)

Idk if this is the right course of action. Maybe I'm overreacting. I know a lot of you say I brought this over myself, but the marine doesn't even live in my building. Furthermore, we are just 2-5 guys here making noise. We smoke weed, eat food, watch movies and play games. After 1 am there's never more than 2 people. We are 1 student and 1 wage slave, so we're not here all day and can't game til 5 am every day. When they complained about our noise it was when we got completely into Killing Floor and cheered when we killed the final boss for the first time.
Hope that clarifies a bit, as you guys seem to think I am having parties into dawn every day. (+The Marine came to complain at a time when the noise wasn't there as we were sleeping..)
