This is like guys dumb enough to pick a fight at a softball field. Besides a ton of witnesses around, you are assaulting someone with easy access to a bat. If he smacks you in the head with it, it is self defense. If you use one, it is assault with a deadly weapon. A few months ago, there was an incident where someone was stabbed at a softball game by another player in front of a bunch of witnesses who knew who he was. Besides being inexcusable, spending years in prison because you didn't like the way a game turned out is beyond crazy. People who do these sorts of things, not only have no morals or human decency, they have no sense. Criminals, in general, have no sense. If they had any, they wouldn't be criminals in the first place.

Look around, people between age 35 and 45 oftimes have somewhat bizarre goin' ons. Some work through it, some don't. Just sayin...

Without question but I didn't mean so much that he had no sense because he was seemingly willing to take her back. I probably should have been more clear but I meant he had no sense because he went to someone elses home and attempted to beat him with a bat (felony at best, murder at worst) for something his wife did. That is incredibly poor judgement. What is even worse is that he put is son in that situation as well. That is inexcusable.

I have told my kids many times that the easiest thing in the world to find is trouble. If you look for it, you will find it. This guy went looking for it and he found it.

Assuming the article is accurate, I don't see how there is any question about whether the shooting was justified. The bottom line is that 2 men came onto the man's property and assaulted him with deadly weapons.

As for the rest of it, if my wife called me to pick her up from her boyfriend's house, I wouldn't show up with a bat because I wouldn't be showing up at all. The wife may have questionable morals and questionable intelligence but the husband has no sense at all handling the situation the way he did.
