But, but, but... The poor father was merely trying to defend his daughters' innocent virginity by practicing his contitutionally guaranteed 2nd amendment right to bear arms and shoot at someone whom he presumed to be threatening him by riding a motorcycle in the public street in front of his house!!! SURELY no one could expect him to take the illogical course of calling the police and/or taking down a description and license number, and filing a complaint instead of taking things into his own hands!!
The problem with the 'right to bear arms' is that there is no restriction preventing social morons or type A personality, mentally deficient A$$HATS with 'no prior record' from owning a firearm and taking this type of action (or doing what was done at NIU a few weeks back).
Had the motorcyclist come on the man's property in a physically threatening manner, then the father would have had every right to defend himself, his daughter, and his property in an appropriate manner which may OR MAY NOT have included the use of deadly force. Many areas have laws (or better known to folks in the military as 'Rules Of Engagement') which require the cessation of use of deadly force once the threat has diminished. In this case, it would appear from the description that Deadly Force was never justified, and the A$$HAT father just acted emotionally and without reason. The guy should be charged with manslaughter at the least.
Just my opinion.
