SouthernMaine Crime is on the rise in Maine, as I came to know only too well when a gang of home invaders and vandals came to my door. I was among the many who mistakenly believed that I would be safe, because I don't drink or drug or hang out with dangerous people -- so how was I supposed to know that a gang who was living right next door would some day attack me and other home owners in my community and had already been doing this?

I still had a Walther .380 to carry when there was a need, someplace else, e.g., as a musician, I traveled far and frequently. I would not keep my gun at home by itself, so l pawned it, for safekeeping ---- and it was while doing this that my home was attacked.


This gang had me under surveillance and so did their partners, the local police, who were bribed to protect their drug and prostitution business. After the fact, I overheard a $600 cash bribe, during the first night of 3 attacks. It is not a mere co-incidence that there is no such thing as a victim/witness shelter in all of New England for home invasions.
The ultimate goal is to terrorize home owners out of their homes, permanently, in any way they can, then take over their assets and real estate. Meanwhile, they harass and interfere with all sources of help or support, including access to the courts.


All of this could have been avoided by NEVER being without my gun, and using it at a time of need. Then came the famous Rory Holland case, a prime example of what can happen when a law-abiding citizen has no USCCA insurance.
We used to have strip malls in Maine that were inviting real estate racketeering. Now it's casinos. And these rackets don't give a damn if your property is protected as a landmark or a natural resource.
