    Self defense plain and simple. That psycho soldier tried a home invasion. Second amendment prevailed!

  2. deandra Johnson-Barrett on September 10, 2022 at 9:43 am

    Where was his family in all of this??

  3. JD Las Vegas on September 10, 2022 at 9:43 am

  5. Mark on September 10, 2022 at 9:43 am

  6. BENEATH THE SEWERS on September 10, 2022 at 9:44 am

  7. Chris Miller on September 10, 2022 at 9:47 am

    I know most white people aren’t racist. But to you people that are who the hell told you people that you’re the dam kings of the human race? We all are the people get that into heads. Nobody better than anybody dam.

  8. Simon Tømte on September 10, 2022 at 9:49 am

    Obvious self defense, totally justified shooting, should’ve been more weapons involved if anything

  9. Men down on September 10, 2022 at 9:50 am

    Y’all time going to come white people

  10. MintyFreshTurds on September 10, 2022 at 9:55 am

    I bet the guy didn’t expect for his own security camera to aid in putting him in prison for life.

  11. SAM Reynolds on September 10, 2022 at 9:55 am

    Sadly a REPUBLICON Governor or President will PARDON him!

  12. BeckyFox on September 10, 2022 at 9:56 am

    Glad the jury saw right thru this hateful, murderous POS

  13. instantsiv on September 10, 2022 at 9:57 am

    Doesn’t first degree murder mean the guy planned the murder? How did he plan for his neighbor to break open his door?

  14. LaReine Lester on September 10, 2022 at 9:58 am

    What a disgusting savage mammoth looking creature who had way too much too eat. How is he describing the man as swinging his door open when the ring camera is rolling and shows a completely different story? That was just an act motivated by pure hate.

  15. Antonio on September 10, 2022 at 9:58 am

    Good

  16. MrWeirdBeerd on September 10, 2022 at 9:59 am

    When the door came open from him beating on it that’s home invasion. Dude shoulda controlled his anger better and maybe he’d be alive.

    Race was no factor. Keep it down.

  19. James Phillips on September 10, 2022 at 10:03 am

    Guardsman looked to have a bit of an attitude…if you have an on going problem with your neighbor you shouldn’t be going right up to the person’s door. Shooters attitude towards the wife got his ass convicted.

  20. SFL on September 10, 2022 at 10:04 am

    This is the good old USA way ….love of guns it’s my crazy right! Vote for better gun laws this man is truly crazy and should be jailed.

  21. speak up on September 10, 2022 at 10:06 am

    Some people are just stupid and racist. Why do you have to kill? So you can feel good that you are protecting yourself. F you man! If you are threatened As you said, call 911. Is that difficult for you to understand. So rot in prison and the key should be thrown away.

  22. Samer Hamwi on September 10, 2022 at 10:06 am

    Something in the law should be implemented to stop this random killing here in the US unbelievable

  23. Jerry patterson on September 10, 2022 at 10:07 am

    so wheres the banging on the door footage i just see him knock standing there and never bang on someones door it may cause this

  24. TTRRUAMINPN on September 10, 2022 at 10:07 am

    If black man is shot, motive is always racism.

  25. SAM Reynolds on September 10, 2022 at 10:08 am

    Why NOT DEATH PENALTY ?

  26. nirvgorilla on September 10, 2022 at 10:08 am

    I want the uncensored video right now. This is the internet, NEWS. do you got it? This isn’t FCC regulated television. You show the ENTIRE thing. I want blood, guts, teeth, and EYEBALLS in my internet videos. That’s why I CAME HERE in 1995 – to get away from television censorship. How dare you BLUR THINGS OUT on the internet?

  27. Spruzzatinias'Art on September 10, 2022 at 10:12 am

    Maybe if justice was carried out in the SAME manner the crime was committed in these types of situations where its OBVIOUS this man did this for no reason at all..maybe people like this horrible man wouldnt be so quick to do this to another human being!!! Take him out and do the same!!!

  28. Joey Thc on September 10, 2022 at 10:15 am

    Swearing at him, coming to his home that’s a threat,

  29. leondre grissett on September 10, 2022 at 10:17 am

  30. Tony U on September 10, 2022 at 10:19 am

  31. zummie on September 10, 2022 at 10:19 am

  32. Antonio on September 10, 2022 at 10:20 am

  33. Jonathanclyde Christian on September 10, 2022 at 10:20 am

    people like this are a threat to the castle doctrine, stand your ground, and 2A people that realy need to protect their family find it harder and harder because of people like this

  34. Jerry patterson on September 10, 2022 at 10:22 am

    and second why did the dude go over to his house… we need to see prior stuff like dude being too loud etc so fat man probably was being loud playing loud music to annoy etc other dude came over to say stop pounded on the door… and got shot…

  35. Mark Turner on September 10, 2022 at 10:22 am

    That pos will suffer for what he done. Lord have mercy what in the hell is wrong with people these days

  36. Oliver Hollins on September 10, 2022 at 10:23 am

    This is so horrible RIP

  37. Tsunauticus IV on September 10, 2022 at 10:25 am

    The “poor National guardsman” beat on the guys door until it flew open. He was aggressive and probably a jerk. Did he deserve to die? No. But he would still be alive today if he hadn’t entered another man’s property with a bad attitude. We get one life. That’s it. Play it smart. We can’t always have great neighbors. I’ve had bad ones myself. But what we can do… is not push the other person to the point where they want to do you in! Wake up.

  38. Hello There on September 10, 2022 at 10:29 am

    He was just delivering pizza. I guess they didn’t like pepperoni.

  39. Lighthouse on September 10, 2022 at 10:29 am

    His wife should just went in and waited for police and EMT. This guy was out of control. They should of move. What the hell leas up to all this stupidity. We are suppose to get more civilize. Do you know when this will stop? When we go backwards. Something like this. This guy needs to be torture to death. Or feed to the lions. Putting ppl away and just going away is not the answer no more. Serial killers should live

  40. Chuck Boy on September 10, 2022 at 10:32 am

    Come bust open my door and see what happens.

  41. Tan Pham on September 10, 2022 at 10:32 am

    The murderer 52 years old + about 30 years in prison. Murderer can control the gun but he cannot control himself. God can’t help.

  42. czar morales on September 10, 2022 at 10:32 am

    Only reason he got justified because he was useful two nasa corporations

  43. Paul Higgins on September 10, 2022 at 10:33 am

    What went through the man’s brain
    Oh i will go and kill the neighbour and go to prison for what’s left of ones life.
    And never walk free or do anything without being told first

    A man lost his life because another man believed in the crap on TV, in the papers and anything he heard and made up in his head.
    Wrongdoer

  44. OtomoTenzi on September 10, 2022 at 10:33 am

    YE$$$$$$… All in the name of I$RAEL!!! >: D

  45. Pink on September 10, 2022 at 10:37 am

    What does his previous employment at NASA have to do with anything?

  46. Joey Thc on September 10, 2022 at 10:38 am

    Why the fuck did he go over there ?

  47. Nash Evans on September 10, 2022 at 10:38 am

    This guy wanted to shoot this man. Why would he threaten his wife?! That’s not right.

  48. DEEONE on September 10, 2022 at 10:39 am

    8/31/22 – world gone mad!

  49. Amanda Fraser on September 10, 2022 at 10:40 am
