A misdemeanor? Remind me to visit this town if I want to off someone of color. I know all about Idaho, land of the Aryan Nations.

Think the guy was being very civil. Not good to go onto someones private property uninvited.

Firing a shotgun in the air is "civil". Riightt....

Hey, he could have shot him... drageed the body into the house.. and call him a prowler. This was quite civil.

Sometimes I get to thinking that a lot of people in the US are mentally ill.

No kidding.

Many have a warped sense of reality and what it is to act and behave in a civilized manner. Furthermore, seem to think the rest of the developed world are the stupid ones.

I would think he had too many sales people call on him that week. Just how many times a day do you get a knock on the door during your afternoon nap. The ones that stick around after a few rounds over their head are worth inviting in.
