I agree with you 100% Coyoteman. It is hard to imagine a guy sitting on his porch just waiting to shoot every dog that crosses his property. My guess is there was either chronic problems or one big event that would warrent getting a gun and protecting yourself and your property.

If the guy was shooting everything that crossed his property he deserves to get what he gets. If he has been having problems or truely was trying to save his family/property then there should be no question.

Bottom line is none of us know the true story and none of us are on the jury so we don't or won't know the real story.
