Wonder if he owned a Green Torino?
“Next time you pull out a pistol, why don’t you use it?” ....
Not exactly the thing you want to say.....
When someone is pointing a gun at you, don’t invite them to shoot you. Especially just after your dog has pissed on their lawn.
Way to noodle that one through, Charles! Now you have blood, brains, cops, and reporters all over your lawn.
“A former Marine...” Loathsome Leftist writing. If he were a Republican, that would have been part of the lede.
Very sad, really. One dead and a lot of wrecked lives.
It seems that something like this from Mr. Clements was inevitable. I’m guessing that at some point, Mr. Clements will wonder if it would have been better to tolerate a dog pissing on his lawn, than to go to prison for the rest of his life.
My thought, exactly. Maybe he was aiming at the pooch. Geeze, he’s 69 years old. Bad eye sight and depth perception coupled with a shaky hand and lookout.
I’m guessing 3rd degree manslaughter. But, if it can be shown that the victim was purposely antagonizing the old man, there will be mitigating and extenuating circumstances regarding sentencing. Senility/insanity is also a possible defense.
BAN LAWNS!
On my street we had a neighbor who would raise a big stink if neighbors dogs used their yard but yet when they walked their dog, they didn’t think nothing of picking up afterward though.
