Retired navy guy spray painted a Evo

I read through some of the thread on the Evo forums and the guy apparently vandalized some 6 cars prior to getting caught with this guy's Evo. If he was charged with assault and battery I doubt it would hold up since he was defending his property and only beat up the guy enough so he couldn't escape.
Got what he deserved IMO.

I do think there will be legal issues from this. I'm not stating what I want to happen, and don't take this as me saying that the owner of the EVO is in the wrong, but the state may hold him as such. The law seems to justify only such defense as is needed to defend you and your property from immediate danger, and not to prevent escape. They'll say that since he was trying to get away, you and your car were no longer in immediate danger. The same goes for intruders. Under most castle doctrine laws, you can shoot an intruder UNLESS he is trying to get away.
