How sad - why can't people leave others alone and mind their own business? I'm glad this old man was not seriously injured, but when this sorry not good animal is found, I hope they hang him! Yeah - MLK - go figure!
Let some punk try this with me. I always open my door with protection, and know how to use it.
I'M VERY SORRY FOR THIS MAN. IT'S ASHAMED HE DID NOT HAVE A GUN HANDY!!!
