oh, I'm so sorry for you. I had a scary neighbor like that. He got charged with terroristic threatening. I did sell my house and move because of him. He is still there!
Re the fence, I don't know what to say. It is a hideous fence and if my neighbor put up a fence like that I would be beside myself (although not acting like that). (What I would do is immediately screen it with plants or my own fence, but that does cost money. However, I understand that he vandalized your earlier fence so this was the best you could do?
It is very important with neighbor tensions that whenever it is a unilaterally installed fence that you make it something inoffensive. There is a whole bunch of Nolo's Neighbor Law devoted just to the anger that arises over fences, and spite fences.
That does not change the fact he was horrible, violent, and scary, and I feel really bad for you.
