Gutless is a pretty accurate description. Being the gun rights guy I am, I fully believe in the "protect your castle' laws in the country. This guy operated clearly outside the law and does deserve to be punished.
Any excuse the guy tries to use at this point is beyond lame.
Even if his wife did "put him up to it", he's the one who did it... this guy's wife is not the one who pulled the trigger... that's like me telling my husband to go over the speed limit and him being stupid enough to listen to me - he's still the one who gets the ticket, because he's in control of the car and shouldn't have done what I told him...
I'd say the guy is pretty gutless, if he has to blame it on his wife, instead of taking the heat for himself. He lured someone into his garage with the express intent to kill them - that's all there was to it.
I heard some news clip where it sounded as if this guy was trying to blame his wife for the whole thing. As in, she put him up to it. Called him gutless or something.
Irresponsible people drive me nuts. This guy is the ultimate when it comes to irresponsibility.
I remember when you posted the original story about this... He pretty much got what he deserved, I guess. He baited someone to come into his garage, then killed him.
