and if i go talk to them, they'll tell me to leave them alone and go back to
my "home" in a menacing manner.
and if it turns into a shouting match, the neighbors will get - again -
upset with me! not the thugs.
and if i persist, they'll start pushing me and threatening to beat me up.
and if i call the police, they won't take my call or won't show up/respond.
and if i wake the doorman/woman, the thugs will say
look how he wakes up the poor doormen in the middle of the night!

and they've been going at this level and frequency of noise and much more since last evening past 0900 or 1000 PM.

such is the insanity i have to deal with. Theirs. not mine.
