Reply #10: He got the video equipment after a previous burglary [View All]

[Rage for Order]

He got the video equipment after one of the burglaries he suffered earlier in the month:

"Mr. Baker said he installed a video surveillance system after burglars targeted his home repeatedly. Thieves have taken $20,000 worth of locksmith equipment, saws and lawn gear, he said."

He doesn't appear to relish the fact that he killed the guy though:

"He was in the very back of the garage," Mr. Baker said of Mr. Woodson. "There were no lights on. The only thing I could do was see a silhouette, and as you saw in the video, he had his hands in his pockets when he came through here. I had no idea what he had."

The security video shows a man – presumably Mr. Woodson – with his hands in his pant pockets, casually walking around the perimeter of the garage and then inside.

"I will protect my property and my life," Mr. Baker said. "The fifth time is enough. It's not something you want to do, but you have to do."

It's 2am, it's dark, you can only see the silhouette of a man with his hands in his pockets...he could have a gun, a knife...you don't know. It's a tough spot to be in. Unfortunately for the burglar, he picked the wrong person to victimize. It doesn't sound like Mr. Baker is going to throw a party to celebrate shooting the guy.
