Wow...you sound really unbalanced.
You wake up after hearing gun shots, a guy in the next yard is standing there, you have no idea who he is, whether he’s a cop, a home-owner fighting off burglars or a car backfire that the homeowner’s investigating...the guy is in his yard, he turns to you, and because you heard a noise and see a guy standing in the next yard, you then shoot and kill him.
Amazing...

Yeah, yeah! But you’re amazingly balanced, Ed. The guy threatens the neighbor’s dogs, there’s absolutely no threat to his family (asleep in bed), and you believe his version of events.
But I’m the unbalanced one! :-D
