Look at it from the old man's perspective: he was scared of something...probably nigras from Obama's secret Kenyan army stealing the gold he bought from the Glenn Beck radio show. Whatever.
He clearly warned people: stay away. Do not come on my property. Not with a little sign he could use as a technicality, multiple signs, at all entrances to the property.
So he comes home and thinks, "WHAT THE FUCK? There's a guy trespassing even tho I have clearly stated I have a zero tolerance policy for trespassing. If this guy is this brazen HE MUST WANT ALLA MY GLENN BECK GOLD AND HE GONNA KILL ME!!!!!"
I will bet you a cool million that had the guy stood on the sidewalk and politely inquired if the old coot wanted some nasty ass steaks, that he'd be alive today. He is dead because he ignored a clear warning.

While I too hate people that come to your door trying to sell you stuff and agree that the guy did trespass when it was posted to stay out, to me that is not a death penalty kind of crime. Did the steak guy lunge at him? Did he threaten him? What went down before he shot him? It sure doesn't sound like it. He wasn't even wearing a hoodie and carrying skittles. If somehow there was a fight I could understand why he shot him, but just to find someone on your property after you have posted no trespassing shouldn't give you the right to kill them.
