People that thing someone standing on property they own gives them the right to shoot and kill them are the dumbest people on the planet.

Trespassing isn't a capital crime.

This whole situation sounds like the guy came out and told the people on his property that they're lucky he didn't shoot them. This triggered some sort of microaggression reaction where the people misconstrued his statement as a threat, so they went full on facebook blast on the redneck.

Bigot and racist are the 2 terms, that people have no clue about their real meaning. they just get thrown out, because people are lazy.

In some states it is. Texas for example allows legally shooting trespassers on sight, day or night. Oklahoma may still as a carryover from cattle rustler times. Then there are the "stand your ground" states. Since most states use the English Common Law standard a case can always be made for a justifiable night shooting (pretty much anything in a victim's hand misconstrued as a weapon with a shooter's heightened sense of fear at being roused from unfamiliar sounds in the dark)

Whether any of us agree or disagree, thems the laws. Also, is it worth being shot to find out whether the landowner follows laws or not? A dead man ain't gonna spend much of a winning lawsuit.
