Normally I don't respond to hate mail (or in this case comments), but I found this piece to be particularly interesting.
It would seem that Bob was a bit miffed at a particular self-defense story. Bob writes:
First of all, I was best friends with the, yes VICTIM. The kid was drunk and had no idea where he was. He never would've hurt a fly. He made no advancement no Linn Stordahl who stole the life of an innocent 16 year old kid because he's a messed up military piece of shit. I think its bullshit that you write something as insulting as this. You guys get a big fuck youTo Bob, I reply:
Assuming the events are accurate as depicted in the article, your libelous assertion that Linn Stordahl "stole the life" of this kid is patently ridiculous. A 16 year old drunk intruder, setting fire to someone's property is not a victim of anything but his own stupidity.
First of all, drunkenness cannot excuse any crime. When a person makes a conscious decision to abuse alcohol, they do not cease to bear responsibility for their actions. If that were true, we would have to excuse everyone who is guilty of drunken driving.
Second, your contention that "he never would've hurt a fly" seems to be off base. He was allegedly setting fire to a person's garage. That not only endangers the resident, but any firemen and police that show up on the scene. It also puts anyone in the path of rescue vehicles responding to the scene, at an unnecessary risk. If you don't believe me, go down to your local firehouse and ask a fireman if he thinks arson is dangerous.
Third, his intentions should not even be an issue. If you break into someone's home, you risk being shot. A homeowner has no idea what your intentions are, nor does he have time to assess them. It doesn't matter if you are an axe murderer or the Avon lady, you take your life into your own hands when you enter someone's residence without an invitation.
Fourth, if you are offended by anything I write, that is just too damned bad. I suggest that you exercise your own rights, and simply close your web browser. I suggest you do the same if you have a problem with any of my weblog policies, which are freely posted on my web site.

Posted by: John Mays at June 9, 2003 12:20 AMFirst of all, Steve, it was not his residence. He lives across the street and he chose to leave the safety of his home and put himself in possible danger.
Second of all, I had no problem exercising my rights thats why I chose to let you know that I think your a coward and an ass. So, you can now exercise your rights by sticking this where the sun doesn't shine.
Have a wonderful day!!
Posted by: Renee Borello at June 9, 2003 4:10 PMit was not his residence? am i not reading this right, or was it the man's GARAGE? that is part of his residence, and i doubt that it was all the way across the street.
Posted by: Samkit at June 9, 2003 10:21 PMhey mabey this kid made some mistakes that night he went into someone's garage and started to make a fire. well that was a cold ass night and all he was trying to do was get warm. at his house he has a wood stove in his garage and he always went in there and ripped up boxes and started fires. i believe that he thought he was in his house at the time. i know his mind wasn't in the right places that night. but all this shit talking about my friend is pissing me off. anyone that has anything bad to say about this incedent i hope your first born dies. and then i hope you die soon grabbing your neck gasping for air choking on your blood. and while your at it burn in hell mother fucker.

Renee, what were you smoking?
This guy did what he had too do to save his life from a criminal, I don't care who's friend he was. If it were one of my friends, I'd be sad, but I'd be angry at the friend for being an asswipe and trying to kill innocent people!
Posted by: Rottielover at October 8, 2003 3:27 PMfirst of all bob arson is when damage is done to the structure which would have been the garage and no damage was done to it so maybe you should get your head out of your ass and mind your own business and trust me you dont know what happend that morning
