if youre over say 55 and served in the military in any capacity i believe you should have diplomatic immunity.

Dude...first of all, I'm arguing the fact that you would feel so inclined to shoot my dog should I disrespect you as an elder. Just because the kid showed the guy disrespect doesn't mean he should get a face full of lead.

I agree the kid should have shown him a lot more respect- but that doesn't mean he deserves to get shot because he's disrespectful.

No shit. I told you it was insane. I believe the better course of action would have been to shoot the dog after being challenged to use the gun. Then stick the hot barrel into the dudes forehead and tell him he's next. He promptly shits his pants, gets a burn on his forehead and learns a life lesson.

Doesn't have a thing to do with "respecting your elders".

The moral of the story is when a crazy F#@& pulls a gun on you (regardless of age), you do whatever you can to apologize or comply to get out of dangers way. Then call the cops on his @$$ the moment you're free.

NOOOO! That is NOT the better course of action! The old man, even after being told by the kid to shoot him in the head next time should have told him to "***** Off!" and walked back into his house!

You don't shoot people or pets because someone threatened you to take THEIR life! The kid didn't threaten the old geezer! He simply disrespected him and told him to shoot him next time it happens. And you advocate that behavior????

It's tough guy internet talk is all. He's being a douche.

You see we can stop right there. Trust me when I say you're wrong. You just are.

Outside of defending yourself or your family in a life threatening situation (ex: a home break in), there's really no situation where you should ever pull a gun. I really hope you get that.

No, I advocate shooting a dog over a human being if you're going to shoot something to prove your point. I think it would have been better to shoot the dog instead of killing the owner. There's no way you can say shooting a dog is NOT a better course of action over shooting the guy.

I agree, it is wrong, and I get irritated by that very thing myself. Even worse, our dog smells markings of the other dogs, and feels he needs to remark his territory. :D
But this guy was way over the top of course. Somehow Skip got that reputation, but he clearly pointed out one time, that he didn't care about his lawn. In fact, he said he purposely watered his neighbors yard, so they would have to mow, and he didn't. LMAO

Wow. What an idiot.

He shouldn't have drawn a gun in the first place, and he sure as hell shouldn't be shooting the person or the dog with it... just to "prove a point"....


you like your gun rights???? well everytime something stupid like this happens, you come one step closer to losing them...

i dont care if you shot the gun off in the air next to them... bottom line, this is grass that we're talking about.... the dude didn't sleep with the old guys wife or anything, his dog pissed on some grass.... not like he was going to be able to pinch the dog off....

Did you even read my posts? I'm not repeating myself.

Unless the guy is shooting himself. The ideal solution would've been for him to get mad, pull out his gun, put it in his mouth, and really show the world how much he cared about his lawn.

I still think the ideal solution would have been the 23-year old apologizing and walking back home before the gun was even brought up.

Possibly. But then the Marine would've shot the mailman. He was kind of destined to shoot somebody, I think.
