Lawn feud shooter goes free

Lee Macon, the Broward man who shot his neighbor to death during a fierce disagreement over the line that divides their two lawns, walked out of jail a free man Thursday.

My comments: Found this on Wingnut Daily and they obviously think this story is good news. Here's the back story:A guy comes out of his house because he hears his neighbor getting riled up at the lawn guy who accidentally mowed part of his lawn. Dig this: BECAUSE he thinks there is some trouble brewing, HE GETS HIS GUN and tucks it into his belt! That's right; he didn't call 911, he didn't attempt to dialog first, he brings out a pistol as if this was freaking Dodge City. The neighbor IS incensed, he does get physical with the guy, the guy then whips out his gun and ends up killing the neighbor. He was not indicted for any crime. Hello??? Is this not 2008? Do we not have in place, remedies for this type of dispute? How about calling in your lawn guy to your home to avoid confrontation if it is starting to heat up? How about getting a homeowner's group to help with some conflict resolution, since it is an ongoing dispute? How about calling law enforcement to come to help defuse the situation? There is even more unbelievable circumstances to this case.

Well I guess it's now totally cool and okay to be a complete throwback, cowboy idiot, kill somebody and not suffer any consequences. This must be good news for all of the redneck, gun-toting knuckle draggers out there. Let's see, "I'm pissed at my neighbor! First thing to do is grab my Smith and Wesson, yessir, that'll take care of bidnez. I don't have no other idears in my brainpan, cuz I'm just an ignorant summabitch. It's all good though, cuz we got the 2nd ammendment. Damn straight!"
