I like the idea of the Hate has No Home. Might have to get a bunch of pride flags, too.

Just stop. You are the problem. Just because someone wants privacy in their home does not make them a problem. All the bizarre signage is actually YOU being aggressive.

This.

They have probably done background checks on you and might go through your trash or access your online data.

That’s the topic here:

Safety of neighbors, ok?

And because the SS has guns, the OP feels it’s unsafe.

What can’t any of you follow the topic here?

You seem overly aggressive, even though it's not in your best interest to act this way. This person knows he's reviled. He doesn't talk to you for a reason - he's probably made up his mind that DC is a swamp of communism and corruption. Don't make it more obvious with signs, that's just provocation, and a target if a band of his supporters visits him.

Separately, what the heck do you think you can learn from him face-to-face that you can't figure out online?!?!?! If he's reviled, you know someone is going try something at some point. He won't be able to tell you more than that! At this point he may not know himself whether specific threats have been made or not, and even if they have been, that doesn't necessarily translate to immediate risk on your neighborhood. The detail is standard for certain figures that have garnered negative attention, that's all. You should educate yourself on threats and security services - it's a complex field, and there is not certainty, just protocols.

It's almost as if you're looking for a confrontation here. Do NOT bother this person. They may or may not be evil, but right now they're probably pretty stressed out with the transition, and stress leads to aggression. Don't be stupid. The protective detail is working in your favor here - while they're in your street, people will think twice about attacking this guy, and you won't become collateral damage. Get it?

Sheesh.

Or at the very least, ‘Secret Service?’

You're correct, but it's a losing battle at this point.

So, to recap: you claim you want this person you despise to speak to you and your other neighbors. And yet, if he did, you'd be outraged that he was trying to be friendly to you. I don't blame him for keeping his distance. He knows exactly what kind of hypocrites you are.
