Considering how the dead man reacted to simple attempt to disengage = I doubt that would have made a difference.He could have just moved the truck.
Agree. I would have moved the truck once I got the pics I needed when the guy became adamant I was in his spot.He could have just moved the truck.

Just easier to avoid stuff that way.

What I meant was when done taking pics from the truck bed. But basically what you are saying. I totally agree, not worth the hassle for sureWhy not just do it when the guy says he has a problem with where the truck is? I know it's going to take a few minutes, but imagine how much time he spent dealing with lawyers.
The “neighbor” a.k.a. Second Place Winner, may well have started the fight, with the same or similar actions, even if the protagonist had moved the truck, right away. The Second Place Winner is no longer available, to be interviewed, so, we simply cannot know, one way or the other, in this case.
I personally would rather ignore miserable people like that and continue beating them at life than be right and beat them in a situation that's going to escalate into me dealing with the police.
Was he afforded the opportunity? Could they have departed any more quickly?Why not just do it when the guy says he has a problem with where the truck is? I know it's going to take a few minutes, but imagine how much time he spent dealing with lawyers.

How would one assess the behavior of someone who would draw on an armed man?Had the neighbor never seen the gun would the neighbor have pulled a gun on him?
I would wager that every cop has seen it. “Eyewitnesses” cannot be counted on to relate the story the way you experienced it. Besides someone that will out and out lie, they will relate what they observed with all of their biases and they will fill in what they didn’t actually observe with what they thought happened. If there are 5 witnesses to an event you will get 7 or more stories as they think about it and change their statement.That's something we don't often consider--the possibility of a witness that outright lies to police to try to get the defender in trouble.
Interesting how the aggressor reacted to seeing the defender's openly carried handgun. That's not how it's supposed to work, if you believe what you hear on the internet.
Sounds like one less of those kinds of people to have to deal with.
Notably, photographing houses, in a neighborhood, is seen as suspicious, or even an affront, by a number of folks. I have seen as much, posted on Nextdoor dot com. It is interesting to read the different trains of thought, going through folks’ heads, when they have seen a photographer, in their area. I should keep this in mind, if I ever decide to use my crime scene photography skills to start a second career as a real estate photographer, or an insurance company investigator.
