Obviously, you have no clue, but that is understandable. Many of us in The Villages are CCW. Many of us would become involved in a crisis. Not ALL of us, of course. That is proof by some of the very few comments on here that have no clue. Whether or not he had any business in the area, is no one's business. He said he was there, and there was video evidence and witnesses, that concluded that he was offering assistance. He put at least one fire out and he offered first aid assistance to the wounded. So, building are being burnt down by arsonists and folks are being assaulted, and he had a weapon for self defense. If he did not, I would think that he was a foolish nut, even though a decent guy for trying to help the community. He had a gun, wow! Most of the residents in The Villages have at least one gun. How wrong some folks are that jump to the conclusion that three scumbags are shot and the guy that did it was a bad guy. Sometimes bad guys get what they deserve. In this case, only two of them really got what they deserved. The third one got a second chance to right his own actions.

Pretty bad when a person is running for his life is prosecuted for defending himself.
