“He should not have been shot, but I will say this: We had no reason to suspect that he would shoot the neighbor from inside the house.”

The man who was being very aggressively territorial wouldn't shoot someone from inside his house?

As much as I'm assured that Melania's a bad person, I always find her the most relatable person in these stories. Florida is indeed a swamp.
