I noticed that comment, too about "blaming" it on the dog.OldCurlyWolf wrote:"Think about it," Gary reflected. "These men were seemingly good and contributing members of society, and now one is dead and the other facing prison because of a dog. It's tragic."
No. Because of STUPIDITY on the part of the man with the rifle at the least. The other man could have also contributed his own STUPIDITY.
I wonder what this guy was thinking when he shot the man. Did he feel threatened? or whether he was just really mad? or ???
