Uh, what's wrong with what he said? It's exactly what I would do in that situation. What are you going to do, let the guy just come in and have his way with you and your family? I live in a shithole ghetto and I know exactly where I will be waiting to ambush a home intruder if they are coming up my stairs. Not having a contingency plan for a home invasion is just fucking stupid imo. Not exactly hard to lay down and cover a narrow hallway with a firearm if you feel your life is in danger. It may sound like some stupid action movie b.s. to you, but I guarantee that nobody is getting the drop on me in my own house. You come in my house with intent to commit violence, and you are going to die, plain and simple.You have to be joking here. I've seen a ton of action movies too but come on.
Don't let this video imply we should all get big locks and buy guns. This random neighbour just happens to be a little nuts.
Living in fear is lame.
Next time, be ready.
If everybody had guns, what would've stopped the crazy guy from having one?
Having guns is just making anything a bigger problem.
Sorry to hear that, OP.
Had a pretty crazy sunday as well.
Got a stopping ticket on an empty 4 way intersection at a local forest park at 6 pm because I didn't stop long enough from a young cop who's "trying to save the lives of the citizens".
Fuck cops.
I'd rather get killed than kill.No, this is actually the perfect situation to have a gun in. The OP could be sitting at the stairs waiting with a shotgun in case the crazy guy decided to break down the door. The neighbor would have no chance in that situation, no matter what he had.
The whole situation could have gone much worse. Its really surprising that the guy was that crazy but still didn't decide to kick in the door.

What would have stopped the crazy guy from shooting a gun from outside the house? the bullets can easily pass a door you know.
Pretty sure nobody here is talking about killing a guy for banging on your door. We're talking about if he kicks your door down and is now in your house. If someone is banging on my door like that I'm calling the cops and hoping they get there before he gets in. If he gets in before they get there, then he is dying, and I wouldn't feel the slightest bit of remorse about it. He put himself in that position by being a scumbag piece of shit. Fuck him.I'd rather get killed than kill.
I'd defend myself no doubt, but shooting a guy with a shotgun just because he's banging on your door saying crazy shit isn't good enough for me.
All imo.
We should have all of australia-GAF go jump this lunatic before reggie has to fucking move out. That's not the way to go. I'd go as far as saying you'd be everything he says you are if you move.
Ok maybe not, but still don't move.
I like how you think that it's stupidity to practice sound tactics in a potential life or death situation. Hilarious actually. Obviously if both people have guns, there is no guarantee that the homeowner will not get shot/killed, but I know the inside of my house. I know exactly where I can have full view of my staircase while exposing only a tiny bit of my body. The tactical advantage is almost always on the side of the person waiting in ambush. Sure the guy might get off a lucky shot and hit me, but I will have full view of him coming up a narrow passageway. I'll take my chances. What are my other options? Running at him and engaging him with a knife or something? Sitting there and praying he doesn't have a weapon or is non violent? All I'm saying is that it doesn't hurt anything by being prepared for a worst case scenario. Someone coming into my house is at a huge disadvantage and it would take extreme luck for him to drop me before I drop him.That's why you lay down! Bullets will be flying all over the place you gotta be prepared man.
...
Kay, now that we are done with that stupidity.
If either one of them had carried a gun someone might have gotten killed and there is no guarantee it wouldn't have been the OP.

Just woke up. Ready for a long day... will keep you guys posted.
Sorry, lost track of developments. is the guy currently locked up for his second arrest or is he out?
Does he live with a girlfriend or wife, any family?
Locked up for the night. Court today. He will get out again today. Lives by himself.

Good luck, hope he doesn't go straight to your place when he gets out. You need to be ready. Your door all fixed?Just woke up. Ready for a long day... will keep you guys posted.
Have the cops said anything to you like if they think he has mental problems or cracked out or what?
Has the police told you what the guy's supposed grievance was? What he told them was his reason for beating on your door?
Good luck, hope he doesn't go straight to your place when he gets out. You need to be ready. Your door all fixed?
Get a few friends to come over and actually open the door if he comes back. He may change his tone if he sees an ass-kicking in his future.

Ya, actually I shouldn't say I wouldn't feel any remorse whatsoever. Obviously you don't know how you would react to actually killing someone in self defense, especially if they have legitimate mental problems, but when someone gets into my house after breaking my door down, there will be no hesitation whatsoever. I'll deal with the mental aspect of it after the fact. Hopefully I will never ever have to face a situation like that, but if I do, I sure as hell will not allow myself to be victimized by an intruder in my own house.Exactly. Granted, I'd feel pretty fucked up about it, especially if the other person has mental problems. But, at the end of the day, if they get into my house after spending the day screaming at me about how they are going to fucking burry me, there would be no hesitation. The second he got to the other side of my door, he would have to go down. Sorry. My wife and I come before the person going all shining on my front door and threatening me.
