Same is true for VT or WMA versus Worcester or Boston or Portland.The rural areas are where people are the most polite.....because EVERYBODY, and I mean everybody has a gun, either on them, on their tractor or in their truck or car.......and they are far, far less likely to shoot you than some city or suburban dweller. Not only that, people are just generally less stressed out in the country.
Sometimes people want to die and it just has to play out.Shame, a literal dick wagging contest that ends up with life lost.
You owe me a new keyboard! I lost it at "Aim is true"....Coffee still dripping out...
“He had what’s called IED (intermittent explosive disorder), but he was getting help for it," Box said."
Seems like a very dangerous condition to have, if it leads to repeatedly screaming at gun-toting rednecks that you are going to kill them.
Intermittent explosive disorder falls in the category of impulse control disorders. The condition is characterized by failure to resist aggressive impulses, resulting in serious assaults, property destruction, or frequent verbal aggression in the form of temper tantrums or tirades. Examples of this behavior include threatening to or actually hurting another person and purposefully breaking or damaging an object of value.
The degree of aggressiveness expressed during an episode is grossly out of proportion to any provocation or situational stress. The individual may describe the episodes as "spells" or "attacks" in which the explosive behavior is preceded by a sense of tension or arousal and followed immediately by a sense of relief. Often genuine regret is expressed after the outburst. Later the individual may also feel upset, remorseful, or embarrassed about the behavior.
Typically beginning in late childhood or adolescence, the disorder often precedes—and may predispose for—later depression, anxiety and substance abuse disorders. Conservative estimates suggest that intermittent explosive disorder can be found in 2.7 percent of the general population.
Most patients are young men and history will often involve frequent traffic accidents, moving violations, and possibly sexual impulsivity. These patients may exhibit extreme sensitivity to alcohol.
They both immediately bonded out on initial bonds set at $25,000 each, according to an updated statement from Standridge released Friday, "a great concern to both myself and our community."
The Millers were taken into custody again Friday afternoon after a court reviewed their bonds and raised them to $250,000 each, Standridge's statement said.
After the fathers shots, the attacker (still standing) threw the baseball bat he was holding at the father - that's when the son shot him. The son didn't even lift his shotgun from his waist until after the bat was thrown by attacker, and had hit his father in the hip. Definitely not incapacitated at that point; still attacking.

Yes.
Yes.
Guy was coming at him with a baseball bat, having threatened to kill him at least a dozen times.
It should be noted too that there's the legs/jeans of at least one adult-sized person, and the shadow of another who can be glimpsed briefly in a muscle shirt (no, no muscles) and seems to be adult age based on size/height. That's not including the orange shirt nutjob and the wife who's recording. There's also a pickup truck behind them with two doors ajar (but the drivers door closed) and it seems to have a trailer attached. So the father/son may have been facing as many as 4 or more people, and the trash was possibly coming from somewhere else via trailer...

As for Orange Shirt, I can't believe what an idiot he was, and it goes beyond his yelling and threatening two guys with guns. It's his inability to be a man and place the safety of his loved ones ahead of his own ego. I suspect that most of us would agree that the first thing to do is protect our loved ones. And in a situation of being unarmed and facing two guys with guns, and a clear opportunity to get out of there, our obligation to the safety of our loved ones dictates that we gather everyone up and GTFO.
This doesn't mean he deserved to die, just that he's not blameless. If he had lived, I would hoped they would all be charged.
The incident takes place in a public alley behind their properties, so there is no protecting property situation.
The two with guns came out into the public space WITH THE GUNS IN HAND, with the intent to confront Orange shirt. Prior to them coming out with the guns, there was no threat to anyone's safety. Their mere appearance with guns, before anything is said, constitutes a threat. I think this is where the prosecutor will start.
I doubt it.Nothing good comes from a scenario involving a dumpster and two shirtless dudes.
Getting your ass kick for running your mouth when you're younger certainly teaches one() not to run their mouth later in life unless they can back it up. The problem is most mid-thirty somethings(hell even early forty somethings) I know never were able to learn that lesson, instead they "talked it out" leaving them completely unprepared for even the mildest of actual violence should someone call them on their BS.
People get emotional over trash. I know someone who was attacked for putting his trash out a day early. Unfortunately, he displayed the fact he was armed and went to trial for assault. He was found not guilty by a jury and his LTC was reinstated.
It's all fun and games until a shiftless black bear (and is there any other kind?)my neighbor puts the trash out a day early and it drives me up a wall for some reason...mostly because its on the corner of my property ( live on a culd a sac). I get along fine with him but it still irks me for some reason
