Anyone that's had arsehole neighbours before probably appreciates this story.
http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/law- ... af133d50e2A WHEELCHAIR basketballer and a DJ’s wild over-reaction to complaints over window-shaking party music led to them invading the home of a neighbour — who then stabbed both in self-defence.
Phillip Christopher Stephens and Adrien Jonathon Mee narrowly avoided going to jail over the violent incident at Stephens’ Blakeview home in May 2015.
Mee — a former well-known Adelaide nightclub DJ — had taken methamphetamine and was spinning tunes at high volume when a chorus of complaints led to police being called.
But the partygoers again cranked the volume the moment police drove away, prompting a further text message from the man who lived next door with his partner and children.
Stephens — who has chronic knee problems and played in national wheelchair basketball titles — lost his temper before he and Mee stormed next door.
District Court judge Geraldine Davison said Stephens and Mee were “very big ... and very threatening” and were out for trouble.
Stephens banged on the front door with such force it shattered the glass before he forced his way inside, and a melee broke out when the residents forced him back down the hallway.
The man and woman — who said the music was rattling their windows — were both punched before the terrified husband pulled a knife and stabbed Mee twice in the abdomen.
Stephens was stabbed in the face and armpit, for which he required surgery and a stint in the high-dependency ward of Royal Adelaide Hospital.
The neighbour was arrested by police, however prosecutors later dropped the charges after accepting he acted in self defence.
