Mrs. Edwards' neighborhood
"I wouldn't be nice to him, anyway," Edwards said in an interview. "I don't want my kids anywhere near some guy who, when he doesn't like somebody, the first thing he does is pull a gun out. It scares the business out of me."Edwards views Johnson as a "rabid, rabid Republican" who refuses to clean up his "slummy" property just to spite her family, whose lavish 28,000-square-foot estate is nearby on 102 wooded acres.
He said:
Johnson said he has lived his entire life on the property, which he said his family purchased before the Great Depression. He said he's spent a lot of money to try and fix up the 42-acre tract."I have to budget. I have to live within my means," Johnson said. "I don't have millions of dollars to fix the place."
"I thought he was supposed to be for the poor people," Johnson said. "But does he ever socialize with any poor people? He doesn't speak to me."
Johnson said he has put his property on the market, in part blaming the high property taxes for his decision to leave. He also wants to move for another reason.
"I don't want to live somewhere where someone's always complaining about me," he said.
He can come live in my 'hood. As for the Edwards', between Ike sighting in his gun in the back yard, the machine-gunners in the quarry, my roosters, pink henhouse and Gadsden flag, Jeff Wells' dog and parties, the abusive men who abandon stray women in front of Gino Adkins' place, and our determination not to vote for any more taxes, I don't think they'd enjoy Windham Twp.
