The story states that the deceased tried to set fire to the man's house the day before. If that was me, I would have stayed awake on the porch all night with an AR-15.

I have interacted with individuals such as the deceased before. They will stop at nothing to hurt or kill you.

Something was supposed to go down...


Someone expecting their house to be burned to the ground.

This. Some shit head tries to burn your house down, you park your ass outside with an AR15 for few nights, waiting for him to come back. And he came back. The man protected his home, and family. Kudos to him.

I like the idea that he picked an AR and not a Ruger Mk II

My first stint in Houston, I lived in the Heights. There was an arsonist in the Heights that escalated from abandoned/vacant buildings to occupied houses with residents sleeping. I logged more than a few hours with my AR15 sitting by the front window with all of the lights off.
