    Just dispose of any limbs that fall on your property when neighbor is not around.

    There will always be disputes in life between people and a person who uses a gun to settle a tree limb issue is not fit to live in a civilized society

    Obviously another case of being disrespected. What’s a manly man to do?

    Wonder what is going through this guy’s mind tonight as he sits in a jail cell having plenty of time to go over the events leading him to the lockup?
    Had he hit the femoral artery in the victim’s leg he could have easily bled to death and Suell would be looking at a much more serious charge.
    Over tree limbs…..WOW
