Lecture finished. Keep hanging in there; if the word gets around, the rest of us might not have to.
I don't need a lecture. I never claimed that bashing someone's car is legal, but I did say that the dude was being a complete **********, and he got what was coming to him.
FWIW, in Arizona, you can shoot someone who is in your home unwelcome. If you're smart, you will warn them so if you shoot them and they don't die, it can come up in court that you shouted a warning to them before you shot.
