Oh, Mr McNoodle...do not accuse me of poor comprehension skills. I did not attack your intelligence, or lack thereof. I said you said "as much." Here we get into semantics arguments again. Let me rephrase: you implied that the girls got what they should have expected. Not free from responsiblity for their actions, true enough. Give them a ticket, a warning, call their folks...something like that might have happened if the man didn't have a "poor relationship with the city" and had called police. He may have even set a precedent if he had notified authorities, taken license plate numbers, filed complaints...sent the message that he would not tolerate people screwing with his life. He could have had an initial spine, or balls if you will, rather than wait to snap. Instead, a young lady is laying with a bullet in her head.

But I'm sure our shooter's comprehension of that situation, or any other situation, is impeccable. He's a damn reasonable human being. Arm all the lunatics, I say. Hopefully I won't accidentally jaywalk.

What if a person who is nuttier than the shooter had wandered into his yard? Or, what if my grandmother with Alzheimers had been confused and wandered into his yard? She should pay because he was persecuted so terribly by a bunch of curious kids?

Wow.
