would have been a better story if they guy shot him dead on the spot - showed great restraint though; some dude 40 years younger than me trying to get into my car is all the provocation I would need to use deadly force.
One of these times I’d like to see one of these freshly dead hoodlums who were remove from the DNA pool by a good citizen…. Stripped naked and hung upside down from a tree branch at a tree where buzzards or vultures are known to congregate. You know all birds have to eat.
That was my thought as well. When the dude opened his car door up, there are many that would have shot him dead. He was lucky that the perp was a chickensh*t and easily frightened. A more aggressive, drug addled perp would have overpowered him if he hesitated. So, he was lucky that he was able to ‘scare’ this dude. Could have been much worse.

Be funny if he shot him through the door, and right where it counts. You just have to be careful not to hit the winda mechanism, or the repairs will be very expensive.
