I'm shocked about what happened. I don't know if he should of shot the guy or shouldn't have............. 
Because the guy mowing the lawn shouldn't of been showing the blades to the other and that guy shouldn't of shot the guy.

I just want to make it abundently clear. Should any local High Roaders want to drop buy to cut my grass you have ABSOLUTELY NO FEAR of being shot. I might hug you and bring you a six pack but there will be no violence at all. The closest you might get is a box of .45 ammo for your trouble.

Neighbor: "I'm gonna cut your grass and there's not a damn thing you can do about it!"
Me: "You'd better just stay on your property, if you know what's good for you!!!"
Neighbor: "Oh YEAH?!"
Me: "YEAH!"
Neighbor cuts my entire yard, all sides.
Me: "You got away with that one this time, but I'd better not EVER catch you trimming the hedges, washing the dishes, doing the laundry (including ironing & folding), washing & waxing the car, walking the dog, picking up Johnny from baseball practice and bringing him home ..... IF you know what's good for you."

It's amazing how many people on here can make definitive statements regarding guilt or innocence based on a brief newspaper article of dubious veracity that is in turn likely based on one participant's version of an incident that may well put him in prison.

and YOUR point is?
I think the story is BS.

I'm just wondering how you could convince your neighbor to mow your lawn?
Tell me about it. All I get are crayon-drawn notes in the mailbox saying "Mow Your Yard".
And yeah, I think the attacked by lawnmower story sounds like a bunch of horsehockey. Sounds like feud, probably over property lines and the victim was likely in the disputed area.

I was kinda thinkin the same thing...only after you mow my lawn I'll get out a couple of handguns and some ammo and we'll drink a beer and shoot from my deck for a while. I'll even buy the beer!

Hmmm... If I inform on a guy who shoots his neighbor for cutting his lawn, does that make me a "supergrass"?
Back in the mid 70's we lived in a fairly nice neighborhood in overland park kansas. Our neighbor was a hippy who refused to cut his grass because he could hear it "scream".
My dad was trying to keep the property values up so he offered to cut the mans grass for him so he wouldn't have to hear the screaming.
The hippy refused and stated mowing grass is torture and murder and stated he would shoot anyone trying to cut his grass.
Luckily it never came to that... We moved shortly after.

I am thinking that shooting a man is normally excessive force for a lawnmower attack at least at first. I would think my neighbor would have to lunge at me a few times with the lawnmower before I would believe he was attacking. My impression from the article was that the guy turned toward him with mower tilted up and the guy shot him. I am thinking there is something else going on and/or this story is BS. I just can't see that my response would be to shoot someone in that instance.
Why did he walk outside with a .45 anyway? Did he normally carry everywhere or did he walk outside with the gun in his hand for other reasons? If this story is to be believed, he pulled out a gun and the guy with the lawnmover just kept coming?
Next time just find some rocks to run over.

Stuff like this is exactly why I live on a 30-acre rural, wooded compound down a dirt road.
Nobody cares if I cut my grass or not.
I don't even rake the leaves out of the yard.
Heck, I can, if I want to, sit on my front porch naked, drinking beer, and firing at stray dogs with a Napoleon 8-pounder cannon, and nobody would care.
That is, so long as no cannon balls hit in their yard, or took out one of their cows.
I've got a couple of neighbors who, upon hearing the cannon fire, would probably come over with more beer, more powder, and couple more stray dogs to shoot at.
Now, all I have to do is come up with enough cash for a Napoleon cannon......

Well, if you're short of cash, get a good stout log and make a wooden cannon. http://www.mythbustersfanclub.com/html/lightning_strikes_tongue_pierc.html

In keeping with cutting the neighbors grass theme.
Last year we had a power outage (nearly two weeks) due to a hurricane. The weather was hot and the elderly neighbors moved to their sons home that had power.
The neighbor is in his 80's but keeps his two acre yard well cared for. After about 10-12 days his yard looked like hell so I though I'd spend the day cleaning the storm debris and cut/trim their yard so when they came back it would be nice looking and one less thing they would have to do.
The power was restored soon after and upon their return the old guy was over here in a shot. He jumped dead in my chit! "What the hell do you think you were doing? I can cut my own damn yard!!". I tried to explain why I did what I did but he was having none of it.
I remember thinking, as the old guy was walking back to his truck, that I sure was glad he didn't keep firearms.
BTW. Despite the above we get along great now but you can bet your a$$ I'll never cut a blade of his grass again.

He could have just shot the motor on the mower and ended the threat.
