ORIGINAL: thompsonx ORIGINAL: LadyPact I remember being on that thread. I sat here and said if the 'guy' stood about 6'3" and I saw him on my property in the darkness... AFTER ALL OF THE STALKING STUFF??? Yep. Shoot. Tha was not the case though. I do appreciate your position and I have commented on how I would deal with it. The shooter in this case was safe inside his house and armed and there was no prior stalking. You clearly are thinking of the wrong case as the shooting took place outside in the yard. Personally, I remember the thread quite well. I think a couple of posters here lost respect for me because I did say I would shoot. Yeah, I'd have been wrong for doing it due to the fact that the gentleman was very sick, didn't know better, and really was more or less lost. The whole thing was kind of sad, really. At the same time, the term "safe" is relative. If the shooter had known that he might well have gone to jail, but he had no way of knowing.
