I have to agree (or should I say hate to agree) that it's technically not legal to shoot someone smashing in your car window. If I saw that happening, I would probably confront them, armed and showing. Go ahead and charge me... you're on MY property. And oh yeah...feared for my life. If they left I would call the police and give them a heading of the perpetrator.

In this case I'll have to disagree with the guy that said human life is more valuable than anything else. This scum needed to be eradicated. He was a drug addicted maniac that chewed the ears off of a live puppy.

Buster Ford did the world a favor and if I was on the jury I wouldn't be convicting him of murder even if they didn't show the guy's past history. Someone on your property beating in your windshield is obviously not a model citizen. Besides, this guy (shooter) is a senior citizen. They can't be expected to be able to defend themselves with fists or a bat. Yeah, the guy might or might not have started coming towards him, but I'm sure the old guy was pretty freaked out at this display. Imagine that you live in your house for thirty years and nothing like this has ever happened, then all of a sudden you have someone beating in your car's windshield and probably screaming God knows what. I'm sure my trigger finger would get real itchy, real quick.
