But I'm not changing my guilty verdict. Real easy to avoid this, turn around and walk home.
According to the video in the above link, one of the guy's other neighbors claims this was not the first time he had pulled his gun on people and "harassed" them. The neighbor suggested it had happened on a number of occasions.

What we know (or what we are lead to believe):
1. He approaches his neighbors property to complain about the loud music.
2. He has had confrontations with the neighbor previously.
3. He believes that there is the likelihood of a confrontation so he brings a camera to document the event.
4. When his "request" to lower the music is rebuffed, instead of retreating to his own property to call police he chose to "stand his ground".
5. When he is approached by someone who appears to be on their own property (or property they were invited to) he immediately pulls his weapon.
6. One of the guest (fearing his life is in danger) tries to disarm the uninvited guest at which time the shots are fired.

As my kids would say, "Epic fail".
