As wrong as I think the city getting involved in an HOA problem, the guy was shooting at people from inside his house. That changed the dynamics of the situation. I highly doubt that at that point in time anyone would have died had he not shot at people. I find it a bit disturbing that this far down in the thread (#48), no one has commented on the craziness of escalating such a mundane incident to the point that he was willing to kill someone for mowing his grass when he didn't want to do it himself.
Free people have a responsibility, too. Fault in this incident lies on everyone's shoulders, not just the city and LEO.
Free people have a right to be LEFT ALONE and not have some NIMBY come along and tell them how to live with government guns backing them up.
