About a decade ago, not far from me, about 20 miles west over in South Bend, something similar happened to an old fella, about the same age. As the story was reported at the time, the ol' fella didn't live in a good neighborhood, and some young neighborhood tough punk took a personal disliking to him, and one day went to his porch where he was sitting and beat him up, because he was there. No other reason, except that he was there. The punk ended up going to jail and made it clear that when he got out, that he was going over to the old timers house and finish him off to get even. Sure enough, he gets out of jail, back into the neighborhood, and up the block where the ol' fella is sitting on his porch, making it clear all the way up the sidewalk for the neighbors to witness, he was going to take the ol' timer out. The ol' timer made it into his home and bolted the door. The punk starts kicking the front door in and the ol' timer yells out for him to stop, he is calling the police, and he has a gun and will shoot. The punk keeps kicking the door in, the ol' timer calls 9-1-1 and the punk finally kicked the door in and charged the ol' timer in his livingroom where the ol' timer shot and killed him.
The cops came, plenty of winesses including the 9-1-1 dispatcher, no charges were ever filed against the ol' timer, and should not have been. Now the best part in this, the South Bend police officers took up a collection to repair and replace the ol' timers front door, purchased the materials and some of them went over and replaced the door, fixing the ol' timer up. Made the local papers and the TV and radio news at the time. Was even an internet story about it too.
