This Landlord REALLY Sucks
In my short 6 years of living on my own, I have had my share of landlords. Some were virtually non-existant, some were annoying, and some bitched at us for having a half-eaten pretzel on the floor. But I don’t think I’ve ever had a landlord hate me this much:
Landlord Tosses Tear Gas Grenade in House
LANETT, Ala. - A landlord in an eviction dispute with a tenant allegedly broke windows at his rental property and threw a tear gas grenade into the residence, police said.
Joseph Hammock, 69, of West Point, Ga., was taken into custody early Wednesday after a 1:30 a.m. dispute at the Lanett rental property. Police said the tenant was not injured.
Officers arrested Hammock near his Georgia home on an unrelated arson charge and took him to Troup County Jail, said Lanett Police Chief Ron Docimo.
Deputies found additional materials for building explosive devices and literature for survivalist techniques in Hammock’s Georgia residence, said Troop County Sheriff’s Lt. Rick Massie.
Docimo said Hammock will be extradited back to Alabama on a felony charge when he makes bond in Georgia.
Sounds like this guy was pretty messed up to begin with, but he REALLY didn’t like his tenant. 
i always liked this one story someone had told me about my old landlords (before i found out i would be having the same landlords)…
the landlords took these guys around on a tour of their properties because they didnt want to stay in their current place. the last place they went to was a decent place, but the landlord had forgetten the key and the current tenant wasnt home. so the bigger of the two landlords (i mean big - he was like 400 lbs) said “watch out.” dude kicked in the door, and then proceeded to say “dont worry, we wont do this when you move in here.”
i always got a chuckle out of that.
