I dont know how to quote several answers here so I wrote it all in once.

Yes it sure is abusive. I think I dont know exactly what to think of it all. But who knows if my neigboor has not told me the whole story. I dont see why this paedophile would be roaring outside my neigboors window in the first place. The paedophile is seen walking up against all sort of people so its hard to say.

That is true, its what we do that matters. Even when triggered, one can control oneself and not react with violence or threats. My neigboor could have done that. I would come to the conclusion that my neigboor has a poor control issue, like you said. That he cant control his triggers and anger. Whether he really is abusive or if its mental issues. I know I snapped once, maybe 10 years ago, but it was not serious and lasted for 2 seconds, but I felt really bad and sad about it. I am not abuisve as I am survivor of abuse. I do struggle with depression and maybe my snap was repressed anger. I snapped because a family member defended my boyfriend who molested his daughter an told me I couldnt just go and report him to the police. Which I had done. And my family member defended him instead of me in front of another man I talked to.

I have grown a lot since then and would never snap like that again. This neigboor is at my age and he snaps seemingly at several incidents and he feels justified ( he told me ). He does not feel bad or sad about it. I think that may be a different thing when feeling justified and not sad and regret.
