    I mean, if it was a sinister plot, the neighbour getting into an argument and shooting him on his front lawn in broad daylight would be a rather inept conclusion.

    It may be that there were tensions because the neighbour blamed him for burning the house next to his down or something. Misery tends to beget misery in numerous ways, it’s often not nefarious.

      Yeah, and the dog’s skull and harness was also a coincidence. It might have been a different dog with an identical harness, and their dog might have actually been just fine.

      Why do people still give these garbage people the benefit of the doubt

      Add together cheap and easily obtainable handguns, NRA gun == macho manhood culture, and stress from the house fire and that’s already a volatile mix.

      Not even considering whether drugs, alcohol, and racism were involved.
