My truck broke down across the street from some house once. The woman inside the house came out and yelled at me for half an hour to move my car, called me a criminal and accused me of trying to break into her house and then she called the cops on me. Some people are just unhinged sociopaths.
My car broke down and the home owner invited me into their house and made me a cup of tea and allowed me to wait on their sofa for the tow truck. It would never occur to me that someone would start shooting.
I had some crazy woman scream at me for trespass because I was weed eating a customer's driveway edge that bordered this sociopath neighbors' property by inches! She went nuts on me and called the cops..one of which was ready to arrest me if not for his reasonsble partner. That was 2015..and things are far more crazy now!
Someone broke down with a flat and pulled into my driveway. It was dark and drizzling outside. I got my jack and tools out and helped them put the spare on quicker. It was a local pizza delivery guy. I got a flat on a holiday weekend and it was a Sunday and I was hours from home. It was a tight back road and I rolled into a driveway. The guy whose driveway I pulled into helped and got his fire chief buddy to leave a cookout to come help out as well. Not everyone shoots people or goes crazy on you for pulling into a driveway.
@@7979Army Narcissist is over used. This guy is a sociopath. He's incapable of empathy for others. Shaming them in court, or reading victim impact statements to them accomplishes nothing. This is not a person that will reflect on the terrible act they've committed, except perhaps to relish the rush of power they felt taking someone's life. Just find them guilty, exhaust their appeals, lock them up, and throw away the key.
@@brandi598 right? Some people post all the time that they're going to kill somebody because the person is on their property. They are too stupid to understand that you just can't kill someone because they are on your property. Good way to lose everything you own in a civil suit and lose your freedom in a criminal trial.
Don't take this the wrong way he should be locked up i agree, but the judge talking about payments is a joke. Its like umm take it all what are you talking about. hes not part of the money system anymore. hes in jail for life. so in his defense id be like take it all like thats not a punishment. makes no sense to me why your talking to him about money. he wouldnt notice if you charged him 5 cents or a billion dollars. the money system isnt part of his life nomore.
The NRA is loath to recognize it, but the people in the “Wild West” understood the disaster that the prevalence of guns brings. That’s why they enacted laws reigning in firearms carry.
@@timdowney6721 "Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshall" by Stewart Lake. Exactly. Those towns wanted to attract legitimate trade and wanted to look more "civilized" to businessmen and residents of quality. Finally someone here who knows history.
Travel. Live. In some of those parts. Learn what I learned. Some backward states not able to do the simple stuff. Made more by learning from states that have gone through the process. Yet they don't. So this is tragic. Stay away from living in Northern wstern states. That I can speak to. There are many men like this out there. Many.
I can remember getting lost one day driving through a rural area as a teenager. I turned down a long dirt driveway hoping there would be an area I could turn around at. There wasn't and I pulled up to a house and thought, "oh no, I don't want to be here." A few seconds later an angry dude came storming out of his house asking me what I was doing there. You know what he did next? It wasn't pulling out a gun and immediately opening fire. He showed me a place to turn around and guided me out. The defendant clearly was looking for an excuse to shoot somebody. This also shows how sick our society has become.
Hopefully it's a rare occurrence. I've been worried about using someone's driveway to turn around. I travel a lot of county roads. They're the two lane, no shoulder kind, with a 50 mph speed limit. You can either risk a collision, or risk getting shot. I think it's very rare that someone in America would shoot someone like that guy did. Other than Arizona. I think they just passed a law that says it's okay to murder trespassers if you think they're illegal immigrants (so, all brown people? Even though there are Bulgarian and Ukrainian immigrants crossing illegally too). Personally, I was turning around on a rural road and pulled up towards a guys house. The owner came out and said hi. Then, I saw a brick memorial he had built for his son (who had died in high school). It stuck with me because I was so afraid he'd call the cops or shoot me... But, his son had died, and he wasn't mad at the world for it. There wasn't anything I could do to help that father.
His family said he constantly listened to the network that had to pay almost a billion in fines for lying. He's one of the millions of gullible people who've been convinced they're going to be victims of some boogeyman. That innocent girl died because of it.
Lifetime gun owner and federal wildlife officer here. Owning and using a firearm is a responsibility. This coward failed at every opportunity. Should definitely be locked up, and lots of people should take notice.
Agree 100%, but I think there would be many in America still think this creep had the right to use his firearm, damn scary with so many people like this man with firearms.
You know it was deliberate by his attitude. Any normal person would have been freaking out, crying, apologizing. But i guess a normal person would not start shooting at random kids.
@@masonkanterbury3007 Exactly. He''s fairly old but if he had shown remorse and empathy he might have seen freedom before he died. I think his quasi vigilante attitude was caused by far right media both telling its viewers that hordes of violent criminals are comming for them and that they can be like the murderer vigilante George Zimmermann or the young punk murderer Killer Kyle Rittenhouse both of which got away with murder!
Lots of people think the sentence is too short, but you're right. He's either leaving prison in a coffin, or a wheelchair, to live out his remaining months in a nursing home.
@johnrine9671 he would have been better off taking a free public defender. Now he's still spending the rest of his life in jail & his wife will have to sell the house to pay for the lawyers
If he did not want people driving into his driveway, he could've put up a chain with a sign, do not enter, he wanted to shoot someone, he had a trap in his driveway
I have a neighbor who apparently really hates people using their short private road and driveway to make a u-turn, he yelled at me once, but guess what he eventually did, he put up a cone and sign and that was the end of it.
The judge was totally correct in all of the points he made. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve turned around in a driveway without a second thought. I’ll be thinking twice in the future!!
I remember I used to deliver groceries and I came to a customers house pretty late, dude turned off all his front lights n came out the dark. I automatically have my gun out now because idk if he was a guy like this. Sure enough he comes out gun behind his back and I got my gun in my shorts in front but hand on mines. We're in a standoff n I tell him I'm just trying to deliver groceries and he laughs saying he forgot. Just shows how dangerous it could get even if you make the right turn.
@@pattibramley3911but this was a private road, now does that give him cause to do this, no…but don’t act like it was just a 30x50 piece of asphalt in front of a garage
@@acbower4468 I don’t know why you are making such a big deal about the size of his driveway. I already told you I don’t care what size it was. It was wrong! It was murder!! And the judge and jury agree!! It was murder and that’s all that matters.
I can't believe the lack of correct grammar in use today by so - called, educated people. I learned better use of words in 4th grade than some of people in " higher " positions today.
When it becomes unsafe to turn around upon making a wrong turn we’ve lost our ability to live in a society where we are not constantly afraid. This was intentional, and sickening. There simply is no excuse for his actions, or her death. I have no sympathy for the offender, but have the utmost sympathy for the victim, her family, and friends.
Now he will have to keep vigil over the space outside his cell....Lord help anyone who hovers too long while passing...or worse yet that stops and turns around!
He was never worried about someone driving on his driveway. He intentionally didn't install a gate or a chain to set a trap for drivers who inadvertently drive on his driveway. He's been looking for an excuse to shoot someone in a long time. This is a pathetic attempt to disguise this shooting as a self-defense.
Can you imagine if everyone ran outside and started shooting every time someone accidentally entered the wrong driveway or used a driveway to turn around? Omg, most of us would be dead or recovering from gunshot wounds.
Seriously. I live on a dead end and it happens every day. Thank goodness I don't live in fear. No wonder he is indifferent to prison because he was already living in his own hell.
There have been quite a few similar cases. Remember the one where the teenager went to pick up his little brother and went to the wrong house and was shot and killed?
@@sunshinelizard1AND the woman in Florida who thought the grassy field next to her apartment was hers and hers alone! She openly harassed the kids that used it to play (the landlord even said it was communal land and most definitely NOT hers). She’d blast music in her truck in the middle of the night, cuss out kids and call them names, throw objects at them, and finally she stole an iPad from one of them. The mother went over to confront her about the harassment and to get the iPad back. She then shot and killed the mother in front of her children. Then claimed the “feared for my life” BS. She actually googled how to legally shoot people before. So basically she orchestrated the entire thing to draw the mother to her door because she thought she’d get away with it. When the cops went to arrest her she “fainted” and played the victim of course.🙄
Hia neighbors told the investigating detectives that he was known in the area as having a very short fuse, and was insanely angry if anyone even turned around at the far end of his very long driveway. These young people, drove up a ways, saw it was the wrong hous and had turned around when he shot at them FROM BEHIND
I appreciate this Judge’s words. This America has turned upside down and so tense since 2016. People need to take a breath, stand back and reevaluate the situation. This killer is evil. Thank god this jury and judge saw exactly what he is…a killer.
The way this murderer thinks his property gives him any reason to destroy lives, is disgusting, cruel & self entilted. Maybe he could have asked why they were in his driveway.
Or he could have helped them with directions to the house they were looking for. WTF is with everyone’s attitude shoot first then ask questions come on people get your lives together. Too many people are gun happy and that has to change in that country
He should have not been cheap and bought a gate. The purpose of a gate is to prevent strangers from trespassing on your property. You cannot be cheap and have an open driveway and expect people not to drive down it. Lots of ups and fedex drivers make mistakes and drop off mail at the wrong houses sometimes.
You mean knives or bricks, oh wait a minute, what about a hammer? Its not the guns that k¡ll prople its the ones like this dude that doesn't respect them and doesn't care who they hurt!@@duggygee6387
Most people shouldn't, most people panic at the slightest sign of danger. I don't trust most people with scissors, idk why we think the right to kill is God-given in this country.
I agree, and I think it makes sense that Kaylin’s boyfriend chose to sue Kevin’s wife Jinx for having a gun unsecured and readily available to her husband.
Welcome to America!!! Wait until these people start suing en masse... Then the laws will get changed real quick when money's involved! This is America 🙄🔫
There are a lot of people like this out there. One example is the "loud music trial" in Florida. Another recent one is Hannah in Georgia, who pursued and stopped someone, and then murdered him over a traffic infraction. It's really frightening.
Don't forget about Ralph Yarl (the kid that was shot by Andrew Lester). That trial hasn't happened yet. Old racist man (Andrew Lester) shot him through the door.
Was this the guy that shot the young woman who was lost and turning around? No empathy. They, crazy folks, are so emboldened by the ugliness in the country.shame on him.
@@margieouellette9657 similar happened to me but he was reaching for his pocket, so I can only assume what he had. I quickly told him I was doing delivery and turned up the wrong driveway. I’m a small woman, not sure why a man would even think he had to do that to get me to leave
@@margieouellette9657 people don’t like random cars in their driveways people are jumpy these days that’s why I own a gun I’m gonna ask questions first not shoot first
All he had to do was simply come out and approach her to ask the words, briefly, of "What are you doing here?" or "I think there's some sort of mistake", guided her correctly to which street her driveway was on and let both have an uneventful rest of the night. Instead, he chose to do the worst possible thing imaginable to all of them for no reason. Compliments to the judge in full for showing no mercy on him.
I am a rideshare driver, and I am directed to the wrong driveway daily. I have had very angry people come out and asked me what I want. There have been some very tense situations and people need to relax and chill a little bit, before they decide to pull a weapon out.
America is crazy. I have people knock on my door for directions and I don't pull out a gun and start shooting. I don't even own a gun. My car broke down last year and the homeowner came out and offered to call the tow truck and invited me inside to grab a drink and some biscuits. Absolutely crazy that some nutjobs first response is to start shooting.
I was once helping teach my brother in law to drive, and the county road turned into private road. We were trapped until we got to a house. A grumpy old man approached us and complained about a sign, but there was no sign. Besides, the road just turned into a private road. I'm glad we didn't end up in this situation.
I was a gun owner, years ago in my early twenties. Looking back there was a couple times I can remember where I realize I did not have proper respect for the power of a weapon. Guns are a right here in the US, but if one does not accept their power responsibily then that person is a fool (case in point). This person let ego destroy all his past work and future dreams. Far worse, he destroyed all of Kaylin’s hopes and dreams, with those of all who know and love her. In an act of sheer stupidity, he pulled that trigger and in a few hundredths of a second wasted 70 years of her life. By all means own a gun if you like, it’s your right, but RESPECT it and LEARN to be a RESPONSIBLE gun owner!
Sounds like a democrat. Talking about how they were once a brave gun owner then somehow they turned into some monster until they sold it all and voted for Biden.
So true. Your words also apply to people having children, drinking alcohol...and any number of decisions we make in our lives. If you want the joy they can bring....you must learn how to handle them correctly and learn the pitfalls of how things can go wrong to prevent them.
About a year ago, there was a minor accident in front of my house. The road is moderately busy and school was letting out of the high school about a half mile down the road. So, to avoid impeding traffic, the cars pulled into my longish, two-car-wide driveway to exchange information and such. I came out of my house to make sure they didn't need anything. They see me and started saying, "I'm so sorry, we'll leave!" I was like, "I'm just making sure no one is hurt. You're fine!" Seeing that one of the cars had a kindergarten-ish-aged passenger that the mother was trying to keep occupied during the long process, I brought out my kids and some sidewalk chalk to play with her. The people acted like I was uncommonly nice and I didn't get it. Apparently, not everyone does that kind of stuff...
God aint that the truth! Dont know whether you will get shot knocking on the wrong house or up a driveway. A few seconds to turn around aint worth your life.
I would never do that because that is very dangerous. I have always managed to either turn around in the street or drive to the end of a cul de sac or intersection to turnaround
Appealing seldom works in homicide verdicts. Reasoning for overpopulation on states with death penalty. NYS IS WORST SOFT STATE IN AMERICA. GUNS, DRUGS, THEFT ETC. YOU NAME IT NYS FORGIVENESS PROGRAMS IN ACTION. LET'S NOT FORGIVE THE MILLIONS OF FETAL ABORTIONS ALLOWED IN NYS.
The John Bryan quote is directed to law enforcement and other agents of the state who use the power of the state to violate citizens’ civil rights. It has no applicability to a private actor.
@@mikeghost9923 I understand your specific point. And I do not disagree with your specific use. However. Right now, there are several groups of people, for various reasons, seeking leaders that tell them 1) they should be afraid 2) if elected, they won’t have to be. Each group wants America to be one giant HMO run by ONE leader who will “make” everyone do what one specific group demands all over the country. For the 50 some years I have been alive and a citizen of America, this has always been an underlying issue. But over the last 10 years it has been painful to watch good, hard working, tax paying Americans from every single “group” wanting bullies in office. Democracy is messy Freedom is scary NO ONE should lose their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness because “you” are scared of “them”
@@PurpleIrishSweater What you said times 1000. As an old second wave feminist warhorse, my close to 70 years of life experience tells me that the immortal bard Carol Hanisch was complete correct when she observed "The personal is political." To try to argue that there is something that is only political with no application to the personal is to allow one's self to be led blindly down the path to fascism.
i went to the wrong address in an attempt to pick up a fare years ago. someone came outside in full Stand Ground pose, fists clenched, t shirt tucked in, looking more or less like a member in the service and the most serious and determined look on his face. i asked if someone needed a ride and he told me to leave. i asked if the address i was sent to was this place and he just pointed to the road and said "there". i apologized and he just stood there in that pose...very chilling encounter especially in a very small rural town.
My friend's car broke down in front of this guy's house. He called his dad for help and we had the hood up so he could check the fluids and maybe figure out what the problem was. The guy came out of his house yelling about how we needed to get back into the car and leave. Was the longest 20 minutes waiting for his dad to come tow the car. All while the guy yelled about calling the cops and that we needed to get away from his property or else. Some people are just nuts. A considerate person would have asked if we needed help. Not this guy, how dare we end up parked along side the road in front of his house.
Yep. My girlfriend's car stalled in front of someone's house one time with us both in the car, and some dude immediately came running out of his house with one hand up and a pistol in his other hand. I immediately came out with my hands up and told him we're having car issues and will leave as soon as we can. He said "alright" and went back into his house. People are EXTREMELY unpredictable, especially in the south.
I at least get up and look out the window to make sure they aren't stealing or smoking drugs because my house/equipment yard is in a really bad part of town but ya, his actions were insane and egregious.
This judge really let him have it. His disgust with the defendant's lack of remorse was clearly felt, and he outlined the reasons eloquently. Say goodbye to EVER owning a gun again, Mr. Executioner.
A gun, nothing. He looks about 65, and he just got handed a thirty something year prison sentence. Nothing he ever "owns" is going to so much as have a sharp edge on it again. Or be more than like six feet from him.
Great judge & jury, so glad he will spend his last days in prison. My heart hurts for those parents & friends of that beautiful girl who was murderer for doing a u-turn in his driveway. Judge was so right he has no remorse for what he did & still thinks it was ok what he did. I hope they get him in prison
I have a neighbor that’s very hostile to most people being anywhere near his property so he’s the reason I would avoid using anyone’s driveway to turnaround. This situation is just so messed up
There is a guy like that who lives near me. But he also has signs out the butt all over his driveway entrance. As cleanly and clearly marked as you can get.
He had the option of firing his warning shot up into the air. He had the option of talking to them to determine their intent. He had the option to consider whether there was any group of people who knew him who would feel it necessary to attack him as a gang. He did none of these things
Warning shots are illegal in nearly every state. I think some states don’t have the law directly but generally speaking a warning shot of any kind is illegal.
Warning shots are stupid, even if you fire into the ground and "know" there is zero risk of rickashay or fragmentations. For one, every round counts in a fight, so you don't want to waste them. Two, the gunshot will deafen you and those around you, making it harder for everyone (but especially you) to read the situation. Three, like shoving a person, it tends to escalate the situation rather than de-escalate it. Four, it makes you look like the unhinged one and them more justified in attacking you. You should only fire when you are actually protecting your life.
@@-.._.-_...-_.._-..__..._.-.-.- Actually, they have a deterrent value and can prevent unnecessary escalation especially when the nature of the interaction is unclear. In this case, it is not clear whether the people approaching were intent on a lethal confrontation or whether they were just lost. It tells the other party that you are in a defensive stance and prepared to escalate if it becomes clear that they intend to commit to an attack. It's better than shooting first to kill and spend twenty-five years in jail later!
@@-.._.-_...-_.._-..__..._.-.-.- Still, the decision alludes to the fact you must make reasonable efforts to determine intent and to deter an attack after those efforts have clarified that you are under a life-threatening attack. The judgement makes it clear that this person failed to make reasonable efforts to determine the intent of the persons entering his property and instead decided to shoot first and think that just because they were on his property he had the unassailable right to exercise lethal force without determine intent and threat or risk level to property and personal safety and as part of that assessment deter further attack in a non-lethal way. Now I am speaking from a Canadian perspective where the standard is clarified by recent cases suggesting that You call the police first, you must go to your gun safe unlock it, remove your weapon, remove your ammunition from a separate locked safe and then load the weapon and finally go to your door and determine threat level. You are not allowed by law to keep a loaded weapon at your side. All weapons are expected to be kept in their safe, always unloaded.
“I was raised in a little town of which most of you have never heard. But in the West it is a famous place. It is called Abilene, Kansas. We had as our marshal for a long time a man named Wild Bill Hickok. Now that town had a code, and I was raised as a boy to prize that code. “It was: meet anyone face to face with whom you disagree. You could not sneak up on him from behind, or do any damage to him, without suffering the penalty of an outraged citizenry. If you met him face to face and took the same risks he did, you could get away with almost anything, as long as the bullet was in the front.” Dwight Eisenhower, November 23, 1953 Shooting a retreating, unarmed young woman in the back is not a great American value from a bygone era. I believe the word for him would have been yellow-bellied. And I’m sure Marshall Hickok would have dealt with this fellow appropriately.
I agree...he would be labeled and coward and probably hung back then. The romanticism of the wild west has ppl thinking it was literally lawless which is not true
I quit doing Amazon flex because of cases like this. When you have to use your personal vehicle, people don’t believe you’re bringing them their packages. I had too many scary encounters and felt like it was only a matter of time before someone _really_ overreacted
Same, drove for Amazon and we had to use the small Uhaul box trucks for about 6 months before we got the amazon vans. Had several scary instances myself including one where I pulled out of this guys driveway as he was about to pull in and he chased me in his truck until he got ahead of me then did a deadstop and got out acting like he was about to attack. Seen my amazon clothes and ended up apologizing, but said if he had his piece on him it might've turned ugly because apparently he had just been robbed a few days prior.
@@DividendFiend hahaha yeah it wasn’t paranoia. Most drivers I know have horror stories, I’ve had customers threaten to do all kinds of ish, it’s not worth the $20-50 profit haha
So sorry for the family and loved ones .This has affected me also getting lost recently. I kept telling my mom we will not turn around in any driveway we went on further down the road .Until we came to a business and turned there.
I know what you mean the other day I turned on the wrong street. I was about to turn into a driveway mind you it was in the middle of the day. Nope keep going till you hit the intersection.
I do giggle work on the side. Every night I’m walking up to houses, up driveways, pulling down side and private roads… and quite often I need to check a few residences before I find the right one. I live and mostly work in the city, and if there’s anyone I’m worried about in the city at night, it’s people like that guy.
A lot of people talking about how this man must be afraid of his own shadow... I disagree. This man doesn't have the emotional capacity to feel fear. I've known people like this. He's lived his whole life wishing he could have the experience of killing someone, but knowing he'd never get away with it. He thought he saw his chance to have that experience and get away with it, so he took it. Simple as that. He wasn't acting out of fear for his life, he was acting out of premeditated malice presented with an unexpected opportunity to express itself.
I hate how it’s impossible to make a sociopath feel any remorse, in his head he probably still thinks he was in the right. Luckily for the rest of society he’s really bad at hiding his sociopathy in court, he made no attempts to feign remorse.
Someone who has spent hours each day watching conservative media convince them that "they" are coming for them. "They", the faceless hoard of people who hate Christmas trees and straight marriage. These people have had Fox and Newsmax tell them that things are falling apart, that Joe Biden is giving the country away to China, and the only way you are going to survive is to stay armed and shoot at the first thing that moves on your property. The old voters on the right are victims of 8 years of propaganda starting heavily in 2016, which villainized everyone that wasn't one of them. This guy is a victim of that propaganda, though I can't seem to find any sympathy for him.
Because home invasions really do happen. Just because this idiot screwed up doesn’t mean there aren’t just reasons to own a gun to protect yourself from real harm.
Whole lotta reasons & combos of factors at play for each individual but they def all share the histrionic mindset/behavior that overrules common sense. They tick like time-bombs.
I really don’t think he was scared. This fool wanted to try out his weapon, thinking he’d have an excuse if the police show up. There’s lots of em out there.
Zero remorse. It's all about HIM. Typical of that element. Having lost a loved one (my 21-year-old youngest brother) to murder, and being denied any sort of trial or justice, I'm at least thankful that justice was served in this tragedy. If Kaylin's loved ones are reading this, I just want you to know you've got a long road ahead, but the day will come, and sooner than you realize, where you'll be at peace. The day will come where you think of her life and the circumstances of her passing will be no more than an afterthought. Being served justice will allow you to overcome your grief and have closure. The person who took our Nick from us still breathes free air and that was something very difficult to accept. Nick left behind doting parents, a sister, and five older brothers in addition to friends and relatives. You'll have days where you won't be able to wrap your head around it all, but always remember there's _someone_ to turn to. Do not be afraid to lean on loved ones for support. Don't be stupid like I was and bottle it up because you don't want to burden friends and family. They're there for you... willing and ready. It's not a journey you can make alone. I wish you all the best.
This is crazy. People have pulled in my drive way often. The first thing I do is observe what they’re doing. After they complete the u turn I continue with my day as they go about their way. That simple. Look at how innocent this young lady looks. I’m furious!!! Could have been 1 of my daughters. Coward! Afraid of the world. You’ll receive true justice in your final resting place. God bless the victims’ families and Kaylin Gillis’ soul ❤
It's very simple how someone can act like that. I'm not stating anything about this case but just an example. Say you have someone who has been overseas, fighting for our country. The guy has multiple deployments under his belt and recieved a debriefing about how the enemy put a bounty on his head. Then look at our open borders and all the cyber attacks to get personal information. The paranoia that guy must face must be great. Hopefully the guy remembers to get positive identification before administering lethal force. The guy in this case shot at a vehicle leaving his property and has been convicted accordingly. But I'll ask this question. If the guy had a sign that said no trespassing and violators will be shot. Would he have been justified?
I 100% concur with the judge that Monahan"s overall demeanor and lack of remorse pose a future risk that he could easily repeat this again without a second thought.
All he had to do was go inside lock the door, this young girl would still be alive, and he’d still be watching TV without wearing prison orange the rest of his life
My house was located very close to the main street. I had more cars driving into my driveway would reach 5 to 6 cars a day. Sometimes theyvwould just turn in to adjust their GPS and sit there for a few minutes. People just need to be more understanding and civilized. No more driveway for you, Mr. Actually, your buttwhole is going to be a driveway where you are going.
When I was younger. I did food deliveries.. that was without gps and google maps. Imagine how many times i went to the wrong house. This old man is sick...
There was once a delivery driver who ended up on the other side of the river from us on a ranch like 7-8 miles from the nearest bridge, using the early civilian gps units. On a more serious note he is very sick, I once ended up, accidentally, on a long private driveway and would have been at this man's mercy if the owner were him.
The media portrayed that story as if the White guys simply found a Black guy, chased after him and shot him in the back. I was shocked until I saw a podcast that actually showed the video. The so called victim was leaving a house that was still being constructed and had been burglarized before. After they saw the man leave the house they followed him and demanded, at gun point, he wait for the police. Although, this is not something I would have done, I was surprised to see what had unfolded. As the White guys were trying to get him to wait for the police, the Black guy walks towards the man with the rifle and begins to punch him in the face while trying to take his gun. It was only then that he was shot. I’m not saying that they shouldn’t have been punished but I certainly would not have found them guilty of murder if I were on the jury.
He seems like the type that was just waiting for someone to drive up that road so he could use his gun. For the cost of a good gun you could literally put up a simple gate or fence and a big sign. There could be 101 reasons why anyone would drive up that road…including delivery services, utility workers, insurance adjusters, law enforcement and lost drivers. It’s up to the land owners to have fences, cattle guards, gates etc.
My truck broke down across the street from some house once. The woman inside the house came out and yelled at me for half an hour to move my car, called me a criminal and accused me of trying to break into her house and then she called the cops on me. Some people are just unhinged sociopaths.
My car broke down and the home owner invited me into their house and made me a cup of tea and allowed me to wait on their sofa for the tow truck. It would never occur to me that someone would start shooting.

She went nuts on me and called the cops..one of which was ready to arrest me if not for his reasonsble partner. That was 2015..and things are far more crazy now!
Someone broke down with a flat and pulled into my driveway. It was dark and drizzling outside. I got my jack and tools out and helped them put the spare on quicker. It was a local pizza delivery guy. I got a flat on a holiday weekend and it was a Sunday and I was hours from home. It was a tight back road and I rolled into a driveway. The guy whose driveway I pulled into helped and got his fire chief buddy to leave a cookout to come help out as well. Not everyone shoots people or goes crazy on you for pulling into a driveway.
This type of guy exists in every town. Scared of everything, angry at his life, itching to shoot someone. Stay safe out there people

I can remember getting lost one day driving through a rural area as a teenager. I turned down a long dirt driveway hoping there would be an area I could turn around at. There wasn't and I pulled up to a house and thought, "oh no, I don't want to be here." A few seconds later an angry dude came storming out of his house asking me what I was doing there. You know what he did next? It wasn't pulling out a gun and immediately opening fire. He showed me a place to turn around and guided me out. The defendant clearly was looking for an excuse to shoot somebody. This also shows how sick our society has become.
You wanna turn around!?!? I'll tell you where to turn around! I'll show u! (it's right over there. now GIT!) lol
Hopefully it's a rare occurrence.
I've been worried about using someone's driveway to turn around. I travel a lot of county roads. They're the two lane, no shoulder kind, with a 50 mph speed limit. You can either risk a collision, or risk getting shot.
I think it's very rare that someone in America would shoot someone like that guy did. Other than Arizona. I think they just passed a law that says it's okay to murder trespassers if you think they're illegal immigrants (so, all brown people? Even though there are Bulgarian and Ukrainian immigrants crossing illegally too).
Personally, I was turning around on a rural road and pulled up towards a guys house. The owner came out and said hi. Then, I saw a brick memorial he had built for his son (who had died in high school). It stuck with me because I was so afraid he'd call the cops or shoot me... But, his son had died, and he wasn't mad at the world for it. There wasn't anything I could do to help that father.

About a year ago, there was a minor accident in front of my house. The road is moderately busy and school was letting out of the high school about a half mile down the road. So, to avoid impeding traffic, the cars pulled into my longish, two-car-wide driveway to exchange information and such. I came out of my house to make sure they didn't need anything. They see me and started saying, "I'm so sorry, we'll leave!" I was like, "I'm just making sure no one is hurt. You're fine!" Seeing that one of the cars had a kindergarten-ish-aged passenger that the mother was trying to keep occupied during the long process, I brought out my kids and some sidewalk chalk to play with her. The people acted like I was uncommonly nice and I didn't get it. Apparently, not everyone does that kind of stuff...

To try to argue that there is something that is only political with no application to the personal is to allow one's self to be led blindly down the path to fascism.
i went to the wrong address in an attempt to pick up a fare years ago. someone came outside in full Stand Ground pose, fists clenched, t shirt tucked in, looking more or less like a member in the service and the most serious and determined look on his face. i asked if someone needed a ride and he told me to leave. i asked if the address i was sent to was this place and he just pointed to the road and said "there". i apologized and he just stood there in that pose...very chilling encounter especially in a very small rural town.
My friend's car broke down in front of this guy's house. He called his dad for help and we had the hood up so he could check the fluids and maybe figure out what the problem was.
The guy came out of his house yelling about how we needed to get back into the car and leave. Was the longest 20 minutes waiting for his dad to come tow the car. All while the guy yelled about calling the cops and that we needed to get away from his property or else.
Some people are just nuts. A considerate person would have asked if we needed help. Not this guy, how dare we end up parked along side the road in front of his house.
Yep. My girlfriend's car stalled in front of someone's house one time with us both in the car, and some dude immediately came running out of his house with one hand up and a pistol in his other hand. I immediately came out with my hands up and told him we're having car issues and will leave as soon as we can. He said "alright" and went back into his house. People are EXTREMELY unpredictable, especially in the south.
@@returnofthediddler8259 It's what happens when you are spoonfed a daily diet of hating everyone else. You just become a monster.
It gives me hope that here in America, there are honest judges that stand up for justice. God Bless this judge for doing the right thing.
Not just honest judges, but honest lawyers and police officers as well.
It will give me hope if the victom is released in time to take justice on this jidge and his loved ones.
Outrageous behavior. I wouldn't even get out of my chair if someone turned around in my driveway.
I at least get up and look out the window to make sure they aren't stealing or smoking drugs because my house/equipment yard is in a really bad part of town but ya, his actions were insane and egregious.
This judge really let him have it. His disgust with the defendant's lack of remorse was clearly felt, and he outlined the reasons eloquently. Say goodbye to EVER owning a gun again, Mr. Executioner.
A gun, nothing. He looks about 65, and he just got handed a thirty something year prison sentence. Nothing he ever "owns" is going to so much as have a sharp edge on it again. Or be more than like six feet from him.
We need more judges like him in NY.
In SF also.
In missouri for ralph yarl
Thank God this wasn't in Texas , cause good chance he would of got off or at least pardoned
@@therealytshadow1750 He would have been sentenced to 80 years.

Great judge & jury, so glad he will spend his last days in prison. My heart hurts for those parents & friends of that beautiful girl who was murderer for doing a u-turn in his driveway.
Judge was so right he has no remorse for what he did & still thinks it was ok what he did.
I hope they get him in prison
Please don’t let anyone bring you down to that level of hate. It’s not good for the soul.
This judge is outstanding. I was so moved by what he said and how he very clearly didn’t mince words.
crazy he thinks its a joke for now
I can’t even imagine her family’s anger? I will keep them in my heart and prayers. This judge leveled him with his words!
the $375 in surcharges and fees is the real life changer
I love the laugh the courtroom gave when his lawyer said he couldn’t pay it right now
This guy is going to learn what stand your ground really means when he's being force-fed cellmate meat.
He's gonna toss salads.
He might get Ben Dover for a cellmate.
He will probably get his share of cheese filled sausages ?
This is hands down the best internet comment ever! 😂😂😂😂
No convicts want and old man ,
Its amazing how many people think this man was in the right unbelievable
I can name two people. Google Michael David Dunn and Michael Drejka.
I've only seen one person think that
@@Z64bit if you look at other videos you'll find a bunch of conservatives claiming that the kids were trying to steal from him and things like that.
Nobody thinks he's right tho

I have a neighbor that’s very hostile to most people being anywhere near his property so he’s the reason I would avoid using anyone’s driveway to turnaround. This situation is just so messed up
There is a guy like that who lives near me. But he also has signs out the butt all over his driveway entrance. As cleanly and clearly marked as you can get.
Dude looks like Burgess Meredith playing a bad guy.
(Gotta be old to remember, but think Penguin... for starters.)
😂
I didn't notice until I read your comment, but yeah, he sure does!
I couldn’t think of who he reminded me of….
Amazing stories?
I initially thought he was an old lady.
Mickey!!!!!! From rocky
He had the option of firing his warning shot up into the air. He had the option of talking to them to determine their intent. He had the option to consider whether there was any group of people who knew him who would feel it necessary to attack him as a gang. He did none of these things
Warning shots are illegal in nearly every state. I think some states don’t have the law directly but generally speaking a warning shot of any kind is illegal.
Warning shots are stupid, even if you fire into the ground and "know" there is zero risk of rickashay or fragmentations. For one, every round counts in a fight, so you don't want to waste them. Two, the gunshot will deafen you and those around you, making it harder for everyone (but especially you) to read the situation. Three, like shoving a person, it tends to escalate the situation rather than de-escalate it. Four, it makes you look like the unhinged one and them more justified in attacking you. You should only fire when you are actually protecting your life.
@@-.._.-_...-_.._-..__..._.-.-.- Actually, they have a deterrent value and can prevent unnecessary escalation especially when the nature of the interaction is unclear. In this case, it is not clear whether the people approaching were intent on a lethal confrontation or whether they were just lost. It tells the other party that you are in a defensive stance and prepared to escalate if it becomes clear that they intend to commit to an attack. It's better than shooting first to kill and spend twenty-five years in jail later!
@@PWingert1966 I get the theory, but that generally isn't what we see in reality.
@@-.._.-_...-_.._-..__..._.-.-.- Still, the decision alludes to the fact you must make reasonable efforts to determine intent and to deter an attack after those efforts have clarified that you are under a life-threatening attack. The judgement makes it clear that this person failed to make reasonable efforts to determine the intent of the persons entering his property and instead decided to shoot first and think that just because they were on his property he had the unassailable right to exercise lethal force without determine intent and threat or risk level to property and personal safety and as part of that assessment deter further attack in a non-lethal way. Now I am speaking from a Canadian perspective where the standard is clarified by recent cases suggesting that You call the police first, you must go to your gun safe unlock it, remove your weapon, remove your ammunition from a separate locked safe and then load the weapon and finally go to your door and determine threat level. You are not allowed by law to keep a loaded weapon at your side. All weapons are expected to be kept in their safe, always unloaded.
YES absolutely could tell after he paused about the consecutive sentence. Outstanding explanation as to the complete sentencing from a judge!!!
“I was raised in a little town of which most of you have never heard. But in the West it is a famous place. It is called Abilene, Kansas. We had as our marshal for a long time a man named Wild Bill Hickok. Now that town had a code, and I was raised as a boy to prize that code.
“It was: meet anyone face to face with whom you disagree. You could not sneak up on him from behind, or do any damage to him, without suffering the penalty of an outraged citizenry. If you met him face to face and took the same risks he did, you could get away with almost anything, as long as the bullet was in the front.”
Dwight Eisenhower, November 23, 1953
Shooting a retreating, unarmed young woman in the back is not a great American value from a bygone era. I believe the word for him would have been yellow-bellied. And I’m sure Marshall Hickok would have dealt with this fellow appropriately.
Yeah he would have arrested him and put him on trial, exactly the same as happened
I agree...he would be labeled and coward and probably hung back then. The romanticism of the wild west has ppl thinking it was literally lawless which is not true
Ironic given how Hicock met his demise.
@@garymitchell5899 Hickok would certainly not have shot him in the back.
@@nsnopper No, because Hickock was a law officer. The criminal shot her, and Hickock would have arrested him. Please try and keep up.
He still remains without any remorse 🙄🤨🤡
he may very well be simply a psychopath...incapable of internalizing the opinions of others.
And many of them across the world are in front of the bars instead of behind them!!
How in the world do you know?
I quit doing Amazon flex because of cases like this. When you have to use your personal vehicle, people don’t believe you’re bringing them their packages. I had too many scary encounters and felt like it was only a matter of time before someone _really_ overreacted
Same, drove for Amazon and we had to use the small Uhaul box trucks for about 6 months before we got the amazon vans. Had several scary instances myself including one where I pulled out of this guys driveway as he was about to pull in and he chased me in his truck until he got ahead of me then did a deadstop and got out acting like he was about to attack. Seen my amazon clothes and ended up apologizing, but said if he had his piece on him it might've turned ugly because apparently he had just been robbed a few days prior.
Wow what a paranoid baby lol.
@@DividendFiend hahaha yeah it wasn’t paranoia. Most drivers I know have horror stories, I’ve had customers threaten to do all kinds of ish, it’s not worth the $20-50 profit haha
So sorry for the family and loved ones .This has affected me also getting lost recently. I kept telling my mom we will not turn around in any driveway we went on further down the road .Until we came to a business and turned there.
I know what you mean the other day I turned on the wrong street. I was about to turn into a driveway mind you it was in the middle of the day. Nope keep going till you hit the intersection.
I think they thought that it was the correct house.
He probably thinking he can win an appeal.
Should have asked him what did it cost him
I do giggle work on the side.
Every night I’m walking up to houses, up driveways, pulling down side and private roads… and quite often I need to check a few residences before I find the right one.
I live and mostly work in the city, and if there’s anyone I’m worried about in the city at night, it’s people like that guy.
the heck is he going to appeal? zero merits. bye.
What a great judge ❤
A lot of people talking about how this man must be afraid of his own shadow... I disagree.
This man doesn't have the emotional capacity to feel fear. I've known people like this. He's lived his whole life wishing he could have the experience of killing someone, but knowing he'd never get away with it.
He thought he saw his chance to have that experience and get away with it, so he took it. Simple as that. He wasn't acting out of fear for his life, he was acting out of premeditated malice presented with an unexpected opportunity to express itself.
Justice Served.
That sends a message!
I hate how it’s impossible to make a sociopath feel any remorse, in his head he probably still thinks he was in the right. Luckily for the rest of society he’s really bad at hiding his sociopathy in court, he made no attempts to feign remorse.
He just perfectly put into words *everything* that I was thinking. Michelini for NY Governor!!!!
Who shoots someone in their driveway🤦🏽♂️
Lots of people
@40 Somebody being attacked, etc...but right, for pulling into their driveway
‘Muricans
@@LaChimLaCho Lots of cowards, you mean.
Someone who has spent hours each day watching conservative media convince them that "they" are coming for them. "They", the faceless hoard of people who hate Christmas trees and straight marriage. These people have had Fox and Newsmax tell them that things are falling apart, that Joe Biden is giving the country away to China, and the only way you are going to survive is to stay armed and shoot at the first thing that moves on your property.
The old voters on the right are victims of 8 years of propaganda starting heavily in 2016, which villainized everyone that wasn't one of them. This guy is a victim of that propaganda, though I can't seem to find any sympathy for him.
Couldn't be content with just shouting "get off my lawn", had to live out his fantasy of shooting an intruder.
Thank you for this sentence. Absolutely Fitting. Condolences to Everyone who had to come in contact with this belly crawler.
Why are so many people with guns so scared of life?
ask the police
Because home invasions really do happen. Just because this idiot screwed up doesn’t mean there aren’t just reasons to own a gun to protect yourself from real harm.
Whole lotta reasons & combos of factors at play for each individual but they def all share the histrionic mindset/behavior that overrules common sense. They tick like time-bombs.
I really don’t think he was scared. This fool wanted to try out his weapon, thinking he’d have an excuse if the police show up. There’s lots of em out there.
@@andredavis69 OH no! Are you oppressed?😂😂😂😂
Zero remorse. It's all about HIM. Typical of that element. Having lost a loved one (my 21-year-old youngest brother) to murder, and being denied any sort of trial or justice, I'm at least thankful that justice was served in this tragedy.
If Kaylin's loved ones are reading this, I just want you to know you've got a long road ahead, but the day will come, and sooner than you realize, where you'll be at peace. The day will come where you think of her life and the circumstances of her passing will be no more than an afterthought. Being served justice will allow you to overcome your grief and have closure. The person who took our Nick from us still breathes free air and that was something very difficult to accept. Nick left behind doting parents, a sister, and five older brothers in addition to friends and relatives. You'll have days where you won't be able to wrap your head around it all, but always remember there's _someone_ to turn to. Do not be afraid to lean on loved ones for support. Don't be stupid like I was and bottle it up because you don't want to burden friends and family. They're there for you... willing and ready. It's not a journey you can make alone. I wish you all the best.
❤️❤️❤️
This is crazy. People have pulled in my drive way often. The first thing I do is observe what they’re doing. After they complete the u turn I continue with my day as they go about their way. That simple. Look at how innocent this young lady looks. I’m furious!!! Could have been 1 of my daughters. Coward! Afraid of the world. You’ll receive true justice in your final resting place. God bless the victims’ families and Kaylin Gillis’ soul ❤
This guy is insane! How could he act like that in this modern world? Hopefully he will NEVER get out! Thanks judge!
It's very simple how someone can act like that. I'm not stating anything about this case but just an example. Say you have someone who has been overseas, fighting for our country. The guy has multiple deployments under his belt and recieved a debriefing about how the enemy put a bounty on his head. Then look at our open borders and all the cyber attacks to get personal information.
The paranoia that guy must face must be great. Hopefully the guy remembers to get positive identification before administering lethal force. The guy in this case shot at a vehicle leaving his property and has been convicted accordingly.
But I'll ask this question. If the guy had a sign that said no trespassing and violators will be shot. Would he have been justified?
I 100% concur with the judge that Monahan"s overall demeanor and lack of remorse pose a future risk that he could easily repeat this again without a second thought.
All he had to do was go inside lock the door, this young girl would still be alive, and he’d still be watching TV without wearing prison orange the rest of his life
It probably will not be a very long life either. He doesn't seem like he handles his fear well. Jail won't be easy for him.
My house was located very close to the main street. I had more cars driving into my driveway would reach 5 to 6 cars a day. Sometimes theyvwould just turn in to adjust their GPS and sit there for a few minutes. People just need to be more understanding and civilized. No more driveway for you, Mr.
Actually, your buttwhole is going to be a driveway where you are going.
I like how you spelled “buttwhole”. It gives it a whole new meaning.
Same here. Idc.
Simply put, he lied because he knew he was wrong...
When I was younger. I did food deliveries.. that was without gps and google maps. Imagine how many times i went to the wrong house. This old man is sick...
There was once a delivery driver who ended up on the other side of the river from us on a ranch like 7-8 miles from the nearest bridge, using the early civilian gps units. On a more serious note he is very sick, I once ended up, accidentally, on a long private driveway and would have been at this man's mercy if the owner were him.
Is it me, or doesn't this defendant look just like one of the guys that shot Ahmaud Arbery ?
They all look the same to me, these paranoid old dudes who think a gun makes them right.
YES!!! The one that followed in his truck videotaping with his phone.
@@cynthiamartin2197 I wonder how the Aubrey killers are doing
The media portrayed that story as if the White guys simply found a Black guy, chased after him and shot him in the back. I was shocked until I saw a podcast that actually showed the video. The so called victim was leaving a house that was still being constructed and had been burglarized before. After they saw the man leave the house they followed him and demanded, at gun point, he wait for the police. Although, this is not something I would have done, I was surprised to see what had unfolded. As the White guys were trying to get him to wait for the police, the Black guy walks towards the man with the rifle and begins to punch him in the face while trying to take his gun. It was only then that he was shot. I’m not saying that they shouldn’t have been punished but I certainly would not have found them guilty of murder if I were on the jury.
The Judge be looking 19 and 59 at the same time
Young at heart,old enough to be wise. 😊
Every second he spends in prison he deserves,he is a thoroughly despicable individual
Prime example of letting your emotions make you state property.
He seems like the type that was just waiting for someone to drive up that road so he could use his gun. For the cost of a good gun you could literally put up a simple gate or fence and a big sign. There could be 101 reasons why anyone would drive up that road…including delivery services, utility workers, insurance adjusters, law enforcement and lost drivers. It’s up to the land owners to have fences, cattle guards, gates etc.
I had something called a life review during a near death experience at 19. Tbh, I do not envy the one Kevin will have at the end.
Is that when your entire past flashes through your mind? That’s real?
