And how *exactly* do you know how Mr. Larson felt at the time of confrontation and assault with Tallman? Were you in his head? Puh-lease. There's no way in hell anyone is taking your comments seriously now and you are sounding more ridiculous with each subsequent comment.

Of course he "injected" himself in the situation - a strange person shows up on his property and assaults him. Wouldn't you do the same if it was your home and property? Or wait for the precious minutes before the police find the suspect and risk the person doing harm to you in that span of time? If you are willing to ...

I think the fact that the people who don't know how to drive are blaming the road for their failures is somewhat telling. Responsible people take responsibility for their actions, thus they tend to not crash. Irresponsible people fail often and rarely own those failures.
