This may just have been an "out" both sides were willing to take.

We don't know enough - gee, how could that happen in a place crawling with reporters?

While we're being touchy-feely, consider that the homeowner might himself be a bit distraught having a plane wreck across the street - one that could very easily have taken out his home and family. In addition, there has likely been a disruption of traffic there since. The stress could well have had an impact on him, too. We do not know his history, state of mind, or words/actions of the driver.

He might not have known exactly what was going on. Blocking a drive could have been seen by him as prelude to an attack of some sort.

This was not an emergency or a funeral- it was a press conference. It does not give license to inconvenience, block, or occupy others' homes. Try double parking at the courthouse when there's a press conference there, and see if they don't ticket or tow.

I grew up across the street from a church, and next to their parking lot. It is absolutely amazing to me how many churchgoers feel it is absolutely their right to park in your driveway, park on your lawn, block your driveway, or drive across your lawn to use your driveway just because they're going to or from some church or social event.

No, pulling pistols is not acceptable for the situation described in the article.
Trespassing is not acceptable, either. Neither was probably what they intended.

I'll reserve judgement on everyone involved.
