No doubt this will be a nice dog whistle to the kind of people who keep guns by their front door, just in case. Too bad for the neighbours, would you feel safe with a neighbour who shoots people in the back in self-defence? What if you have some friends over that get out of hand, what if he shoots them in self-defence? You’d have some dead friends and Joe would have another notch on his gun. Good ol’ Joe.
Neighbourhood Killer may Go Free
