Whatever else...the word will get out and criminals (robbers, thugs, etc.) will know not to visit his, or his neighbors house on pain of death. That's a good thing.

As to the 911 dispatcher's comment that Property is not worth killing for...excuse me? Anyone bent on taking your proerty is a mortal threat to your life, and must be considered so.

The dispatcher is a dispatcher. Not a cop, not a judge, not a lawyer.

Joe should have called them after the fact to take a report.

What are the odds that this dispatcher would say “an assault/bloodied up person isn’t worth killing over” or “Rape is not worth killing over”?
How is the observer to know that something worse DIDN”T happen?
Breaking in with a crow bar proves their bad guys. Enough data there to decide what to do.
