“I am appealing to the residents to not take the law into their own hands, but to find ways to resolve differences without harming the other.
“People do have differences, but that doesn’t mean one has to assault in the process.
“If you are unable to resolve the matter in a civil manner, find a third party or seek legal assistance, even the local police, for intervention.
