RINGGOLD, Ga. — It's now more clear how 17-year-old Dalton McConathy wound up dead Monday afternoon, shot, police say, by 69-year-old Fred Steven Youngblood outside Youngblood's Post Oak Road home.
McConathy and two others -- a 16-year-old male and 18-year-old Ansley Chrnalogar -- were looking for scrap metal at Youngblood's home, said Catoosa County Sheriff Gary Sisk.
It was a fatal mistake.
And in spite of that shooting -- or maybe because of it -- Youngblood answered his front door Wednesday afternoon, gun in hand.
"You need to leave right now," he told a Times Free Press reporter.

"He's really quiet, and he stays to himself," she said.
Prior to this week, the Stones' only interaction with Youngblood was after their dogs went into his yard, and he shot at them. Her husband went to talk to him.
"He said 'That was a warning. Next time, I won't miss,'" Stone said. But, she added, according to Catoosa County property laws, "he had every legal right to do that."
It was unsettling, but she said the family has never felt threatened or in danger. Not as long as they respect Youngblood's property and stay off of it.
That's a lesson chiseled in stone after Monday.
And it's a lesson McConathy purchased with his life.

Well....yeah.
Stay off my lawn. Please.
Respect his property and wishes and he will similarly respect yours. I don’t see a problem there, I’d live next door to him.
Looking for property to steal.
“”We were specifically told that if we go the door, he is liable to come to the door with a gun in hand,” she said.”
Come to my door uninvited and expect the same.
is this a media eupehemism for stealing copper pipes?
My impression is that such a neighbor makes the whole vicinity more crime free just as concealed carry citizens in effect protect us all by planting doubt in the criminal's mind.
I’ll wait for more information before forming a judgment.

“McConathy and two others — a 16-year-old male and 18-year-old Ansley Chrnalogar — were looking for scrap metal at Youngblood’s home.”
Preferably small, round pieces of silver, nickel, and copper.
Yes, I caught that little manipulation there.
A neighbor, on his back porch one early morning, about 2 AM, saw a guy in our yard carrying off a bicycle. He told him to drop the bicycle or he was going to shoot him. He dropped it and ran.
The word must not have gotten out because two weeks later another man walked into the backyard (which is completely fenced in) at around 10 AM and was wheeling the bike out through the front gate. Someone in the house saw him and came outside and told him to drop it and get out of here. No gun involved that time.
Sometimes there isn’t much deterrent even if there is a shooting. The crooks just keep coming.
Well did these Einsteinian critics bother to find out if there were bullet holes in the front or the back of the victim's body?

“Youngblood heard two of the teens in his home...”
“Sisk said something similar Tuesday...Youngblood...ordered the teens to get out of his house.”
They were IN HIS house. Not to mention, it was common knowledge he had a gun.
What did these yutes expect to happen? I mean really, our gene pool just improved significantly.
The illegal aliens set a bad example with their disregard of property rights. This guy died for doing something that even the POTUS says is legal and even a “civil right”. Helping yourself to the belongings of others.
Or if there was blood or bullet holes or anything similar inside the house.
“looking for scrap metal”
Would that be anything like “stealing” scrap metal?
