On the night of our memorial walk/candlelight vigil, which was the same night we had the viewing, the people who live in the house at the spot where my brother died (2220 Fulton), came out as soon as we left and blew out his candles.  Then they took all of his candles, and the balloons.  The next evening, other members of my family went to place candles (keep in mind that this is at the curb lawn, but there is no grass in front of this particular property.  The homeowners (the guy also owns this skanky bar at that corner called "The Tombstone") came outside and were calling my family members all sorts of foul names.  The guy said he was going to take a hose to the candles they had placed.  They denied taking the other candles; however, they ended up bringing some out of their house to my family (only about 8 of the 35 or so large candles that were placed).   They have a big, ugly flowerbox at the curb, directly behind the spot where the police markers show the outline of my brother's car.  Because the space in front of their house is only concrete, people had placed their flowers and wreath stands there.  Yesterday, I went to the Flower Factory and to the Home Depot on Brookpark and bought my own flowerbox and live plants (greenery, sage and lilies).  I put it together and we took it out there today and placed it.  I took the flowers, stuffed animals and wreath arrangements that were still in place and put them in and around our flowerbox.  They stated before that people would throw the glass candles in their yard and break them; there are now candles in tins there, so that excuse won't wash.  I am also going to make arrangements to have a paving stone set in place.  I wrote them a note, since they didn't come out this time:

To the people at 2220 Fulton - DO NOT TOUCH my brother's memorial again.  If you have any more issues, my telephone number is ..... and I signed my name.  If they or any of their friends read this, hear this:  I have permission from the city for my flowerbox to be there; they don't.  If they touch any of my things, I will file both criminal and civil charges against them.  They will be fined for their flowerbox being on public property...everything I do to them will be legal, and instead of just being miserable human beings, they will be miserable AND broke human beings with no income generator, since I will see to it that they lose their liquor license.  My compromise:  Don't touch anything and you won't lose any money.  Touch ONE thing and you will be stuck with attorney fees, legal costs, hearings both here AND in Columbus, and more.  It costs me nothing but time, some telephone calls, and the measly $100 court cost.  My attorney friends won't charge me, especially for this .. and I WON'T be going to small claims court.  Leave his memorial alone.
