Grier said the five men dared him to use the gun; and that their shouts brought another larger group of gang members in front of his house.
“He starts threatening my family, my life. ‘Oh you’re dead. I’m gonna kill your family and your babies. You’re dead.’ So when he says that, 20 other guys come rushing around the corner. And so I fired four warning shots into the grass,” Grier said.
Grier was later arrested. “What he’s initially charged with – A D felony reckless endangerment — requires a depraved indifference to human life, creating a risk that someone’s going to die. Shooting into a lawn doesn’t create a risk of anybody dying”.
This is where state to state law can confuse people. In Arizona he could of shot the people rushing him without fear of prosecution. A group of people is considered a lethal weapon, and if you fear for your life you can defend it.
I would be interested to find out how New Jerseys law differs.

If this man is charged, it should be for stupidity. When 5 or 20 thugs are standing on your property issuing death threats in your face, you don't shoot the worms for it. You kick that sucker into full auto and start mowing them down!

A. Should have called the cops
B. Should have had a family member record the event on cell phone
C. Should have shot one dead if the warning shots were not effective. The rest would have fled.
D. The warning shots were a good idea and prevented deaths.
