Chukk Nielson, his partner and Nielson’s 11-year-old son don’t feel safe in their own home. They’ve been citizens of Ammo, Idaho<\/a> for the last two years, but rarely enjoy a day in public.<\/p>\n

Now the family is threatening to sue the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office<\/a> because of what Nielson says is lack of concern over ongoing harassment – if things don’t change.<\/p>\n

Their house has been vandalized with eggs, a deer head was left in their mailbox, and the house was spray painted with words “fag” and “queer”. Toilet paper – with human feces wrapped in it – was recently thrown against their house.<\/p>\n

Mr. Nielson says he’s had the police to his home at least a dozen times in two years. And this weekend they made three calls to the Sheriff.<\/p>\n

“We’ve been told unless we physically see the perpetrators doing the action, that they can’t do anything about it.”<\/p>\n

Nielson informed KIDK reporter Araksya Karapetyan<\/a> that the estimated damage is close to $2,000 – but there’s no price on the emotional stress his family has endured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
