Old guys with guns are dangerous and the older they get, the more dangerous they become.  Don't mess with me if I am 90 years old and my trigger finger still works.  I'll be ready to say goodbye at that point in my life.

No one "needs" any firearm greater than a single shot .22LR, and even those would be "unnecessary" if people had a big dog. I've seen even medium-sized dogs bite out the tires of trucks like those. I despise the cowardly politicians who refuse to enact commonsense gun violence prevention legislation.

Well, like that Obamacare architect doctor "ethicist" (and mayor Rahm's brother Zeke Emmanuel) said, there's really no point in people remaining alive after the age of 75... so it makes sense that at least by that age that we confiscate all firearms from the elderly because if they don't deserve to live they certainly don't deserve the right to own deadly battlefield weapons of war.

if a truck blocks your driveway and you want it to move out of the way, it seems a little counterintuitive to shoot the tires and continue shooting until the truck is fully disabled.

As pure speculation (I'd like to hear the shooter's "explanation" of his actions) I'd guess that his emotional response was not because he wanted the trucks to move out of the way, but rather because the trucks blocked his driveway in the first place without consulting or informing him or considering whether that might be an inconvenience to him. Just a wild guess.

ETA: One news report:

Police said utility workers were working on lines near the home when 64-year-old Jorge Jove approached them on Wednesday morning. Jove was apparently upset because the trucks were parked in front of his home, officials told WSVN.

The workers told the man they would move the trucks after the work was completed.

Jove, a retired firefighter, faces up to 20 years if convicted on all the felony charges.

I guess some people don't like vehicles parked in front of their house, even if it's "legal".

If you watch the video accompanying the article, be sure to listen for the famous cop line, right out of the cop training manual I'm sure, in response to the woman asking if the cop has a search warrant: "There's no reason for the attitude".

Oklahoma attorney charged with vandalizing cars

http://wgntv.com/2017/05/05/attorney-accused-of-egging-cars-in-front-of-parents-million-dollar-home/

NICHOLS HILLS, Okla. -- An Oklahoma attorney has been charged with a misdemeanor crime for allegedly vandalizing cars parked in front of her parent's million dollar home.

On Feb. 11, an eyewitness called 911 to report the incident near the corner of Wilshire and Waverly.

The 911 caller said he was driving by when he saw a woman in a white shirt hurling raw eggs at parked cars.

A neighbor across the street captured the entire incident on surveillance video.

The suspect allegedly egged five cars that were legally parked in front of a home in the 1500 block of Wilshire Ave.

According to Nichols Hills Police Chief Steven Cox, officers talked to several neighbors who confirmed the family who lives at the home has been involved in a long-standing show-down with city hall over the parking along the street in front of their home.

It is legal for cars to park on their side of the street.

"I couldn't even imagine why somebody would be upset that cars were parked on the street legally," said Chief Cox.

Police arrested 37-year-old Kelly Hensley for the crime. Hensley is an attorney who lives with her mom and dad.

Officers reviewed the surveillance video before arresting Hensley.

She has been charged with a misdemeanor crime for "molesting a standing vehicle."

On Thursday, her attorney said that Hensley had declined to comment about the case.

I saw the video meme of this even before I saw the news report.  The meme said the shooting of the tires was in response to the crews cutting off the internet in the middle of his PornHub session.  I had to laugh at that.

Never understood why people who drive in clearly marked company vehicles drive like total assholes.

I had a neighbor who once threatened to shoot the Comcast installer if he buried a cable along her yard. Needless to say, it was an uncomfortable situation. She was devoutly Mormon but I suspect Utah kicked her out.
