You seem to be obsessed with this phrase. Childish.

This homicidal maniac could have taken this dispute to court. Instead, he decided to kill two other people and injure another before taking his own less-than-worthless life.

More information about this situation might reveal what made this guy snap the way he did. That said, I will give the benefit of the doubt to the guy who was home trying to mind his own business over government intruders every time, until more information is known.
