Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia

neighborhood harassment: i have a neighbor who is mentally disturbed - we suspect. he constantly harasses people, preys on the weak/nice/polite people by walking literally into their homes (they leave their doors open, but close their storm doors), gives dirty looks, verbally threatens, uses foul language, flips people off, stands on his very dark porch to watch people come in and go (he's darker skinned and cannot be seen), stands on the common area, and looks at a neighbor's house, smirks, stares, has 4 previous assault charges and is driving w/ a suspended license. The guy is 60, has no job, and has been tormenting everyone in the neighborhood for almost 2 years now. He "pretends" that he leaves, but he is actually inside of his house for months at a time (which we love!) He bangs on his next door neighbor's walls. The police have been called SO MANY times, but all we're hearing is "staring, looking, flipping off, standing on the common ground, cursing" are all legal, and that there's nothing they can do. Neither can the homeowners' association. seems like the law is on his side. but i say we must be able to do something. What can we do to prove he is disturbing the peace?

thank you...
