    Eh, I think it’s just the tards. I’ve yet to be anywhere near the point of clearing leather, much less pulling a trigger in anger anywhere in the US.

    Hell, there’s only a handful of countries in the world where I’ve felt strongly enough to do that though, and in most of them folks were pretty determined to smoke my ass. Too bad for them it didn’t work out.

    Well I did not mean it literally like I polled all 320M.

    Both parties were stupid. It didn't need to escalate to that point, and this was by no means a "good" shoot in my book. The dead guy's threats and his attempt to carry them out sure does make it hard for me to say it was an illegal shoot though. Ultimately, his actions are what got him killed.

    Had he simply left and waited for the police, he would still be alive. Instead, he wanted to stroke his ego and acted aggressively towards someone holding a gun. He won a Darwin award as a result.

    He was in driver seat, yeah.

    But mom not having kid there as court ordered was the original sin. She of course faces no charges. Funny how that works.

    Plenty of stupid to go around. Whenever possible, break it off, go inside, call the cops.

    Who was filming from inside? I thought ex-wife, the girlfriend of the shooter, was outside.

    The poor kids will blame mom & her BF. Dad is dead. Who takes care of them? I'm hard pressed to say the stepmom should have them.

    Last, I wonder if mom & her shooter BF are still together.

    Wow.

    I dunno. I saw a belligerent, unwelcome visitor throwing around threats and trying to intimidate the residents, and refusing to leave. When a weapon was brought out, he got belligerent, doing that immature chest-pressing thing (unwanted physical contact can be considered assault), and then attempting to wrestle the shotgun out of the resident's hand while issuing threats. I think the resident has a pretty strong legal defense based on both videos.

    If he had a valid reason to be there, then the local law should've been called instead of his chest-thumping antics. And trying to wrestle a shotgun away from the homeowner? That'll get you shot.

    That's how I see it too.

    But, should have been "de-escalated". Staying inside and calling Police may have prevented this.

    And the homeowner wasn't handling his weapon properly.

    Pray for the families !

    again, the shooter was NOT the homeowner

    home was in mom's possession and she was apparently allowing boyfriend to be there

    (from what I understand)
