Not sure I could classify this justified shooting as "unpleasantness". In fact, I find it quite pleasant that there will be no more waste of taxpayer monies to incarcerate him, feed him, clothe him, etc. Great ending as far as I am concerned. Same thing would happen here, except I don't play video games.....Mr Remington lives here for a reason, folks.

Hi ridesthemiles-

I too would be very angered by a drunkard waltzing through my door, yet if I commanded the boozer to leave and he did...it's shaping-up to be a decent night without a gunfight.

The point that we seem to be missing here is that the victim was described as elderly while the criminal was described as being in his early-thirties. The homeowner had complete superiority by being in a fortified position (his house) with access to firearms, telephones, lights, and anything else he might have needed.

The imminent threat was over and the older man put his wife in a weak tactical position by abandoning her and going outside.
