Contrary to what others have been posting on this thread, the man doesn't sound like a freak to me. I seldom have sympathy for those who commit murder, but in this case my heart goes out to that man. Apparently he put up with harassment for five years, and then just snapped. (I'd almost be willing to bet that he'd recently had heart or other other medication changed recently. It's amazing the PMS-style symptoms elderly men exhibit while getting adjusted to new medications.) None of this excuses what he did. But my prayers go out to that man as much as they do to the victim's family. (You know that as a gun-owner, that guy isn't going to get any sympathy or "understanding" from the press.)

We only have the man's word for it that he was harrassed for years, and we also do not have HIS definition of the word, "harrassed". I'm sure there are more facts that will be reported in the near future, but until then, I personally wouldn't be jumping to conclusions regarding the cold-blooded murder of his neighbor.

According to our evening news, records show the man had been complaining to the authorities about the kid back to 2002 or 2003. He probably put up with it for a while before he went to them. They also said he'd gone to the kid's dad for help. Apparently it did no good.
