He wasn't shooting to "protect property". He was shooting to protect himself. What he was doing (legally) prior the point he was attacked and fired in self defense does not matter. He was conducting himself in a legal manner, then was TWICE pursued by those attempting to do great bodily harm to him. Maybe being there wasn't "smart". But it was (at least as we can discern now) noble, and certainly legal.

This is still America (for now). People are free to go where ever the fugg they want to engage in legal activities. Cleaning graphiti, providing services as a result of a technical skill (paramedic), and standing watch over property are all legal activities.

What if he responded to Louisiana to assist with hurricane recovery efforts? And in the process of assisting with those efforts, was attacked, and needed to defend himself. Would that change anything? It shouldn't.

The fact he crossed a state, county, or city line shouldn't weigh into this.


Guns are responsible for killing as much as Rosie O'Donnel's fork is responsible for her being FAT.
