And I hope the case gets a lot of publicity.

The police talked to the man and just called it an error and let him go.

It’s as if the trigger-happy resident—and the cops—think it’s his legal right to attempt to kill somebody for ringing his doorbell.

Incredible—well, not in Amerika—they haven’t charged the wannabe killer with anything yet.

This mf needs to be charged with attempted murder.
