Good shooting, Citizen. Civilization thanks you. As to going asleep...what was he supposed to do? Stay up and mourn the creep that was trying to kill him? Good riddance. Put me on the jury.
The other night I heard what sounded like shots coming from our neighbors’ house. I was not sure what it was for sure, but he is the person that I would vote to be most likely to shoot his family. I nosed around for a bit, but didn’t see or hear anything to confirm my initial suspicians. So I went to bed. In the morning nothing seemed to have been amiss. So fortunately I didn’t call the police because I wouldn’t want that well armed hothead carrying a grudge. But if he and his family were dead I would have felt bad about not doing anything to help. It was a dilema.
Should this old guy have been nosing around after dark looking for a possibly wounded dangerous criminal? He could easily have been attacked and killed.
