I don't think anyone here is "celebrating" anyone else's death, but are relieved that this man's ordeal is over. Yes, he received money from many forum members here to pay for replacement weapons, but I doubt he received enough to cover his legal fees. And this was not a situation he created, but simply had to respond to it the best way he could.Liberty wrote:I'm glad the old man didn't get hurt either time.

Yet, I can't find it in my heart to celebrate his killing of 2 men. Things worked out all right for him, I think he might have, got enough money to replace his confiscated guns even. That being said, I find nothing commendable about shooting unarmed men down, Any courage he had was about defending his own property.
If there is any celebrating going on, it is that Mr. Walton can now resume his life and continue running his business.
