Because that is a large portion of their support. This act of self defense caused them to lose a prospective voter.

He probably did not have to shoot but I don't begrudge him for doing so...

He was apparently justified.

I'm just afraid you're going to see a lot of copycat killings like this.

Good ol' boys might be inclined by this example to stand in highway traffic shooting at people "apparently" trying to run them down.

The owner never even had to leave the house.

Could of called the police and the perps would not have gotten very far.

There was no "reason" for his life ever to have been in danger.

The owner, also, was a perpetrator.

Well, he probably should have called the police first (they're called "law enforcement" for a reason), but if he acted within the law he should not be charged. The story, as recounted in the article, made it sound like he was afraid a stopped vehicle was going to run him down. That sounds wonky, but news articles are seldom complete, so I'd have to go with the police version at this point.

Except that the law says that he isn't but that won't ever stop a liberal from trying to criminalize someone's actions.

He is not being charged (according to current media reports)

It is a reasonable response to try to stop someone stealing your car - if he believed his life was in danger because they were heading toward him - he did not perpetrate that action, he was defensive - rather than being aggressive (as in the car coming toward him), he was a defender by defending himself.

No court for him

Conservatives tend to get real liberal with the B-word (believe) when it suits them, which is most of the time.

You ever heard of being sued?
