... but at least discharge the executing firearm away from a residential area...
Discharging a firearm in a so-called "residential area" is NOT dangerous. Firing a firearm - if and only if- it is done so negligently, can be dangerous. Absent missing information in the article, that does not seem to be the case here.
Liberals hate those who display any kind of self-sufficiency.
I don't get it. Then why do so many liberals in my neighborhood raise chickens and have vegetable gardens?
Talking gardens and trading meat is one of the main things people of differing political backgrounds in my neck of the woods actually get together on. In fact, it is how I met a bunch of liberals and despite a few things they are generally normal folks.
I think you are confusing suburbanites with liberals. Either that or you are a political troll.

Well thanks for proving my point, because I'll contend that what he did IS negligent. Not only is this in my opinion a failure to exercise due diligence and common sense with firearms, it's against local law anyway. If there's an ordinance against firing a weapon within city limits, why do it? Why willingly violate such law? We don't get to cherry-pick which laws to obey and which laws to break, and neither does Mr. Curbside Butcher.
I experienced something similar when I lived in Santa Monica. I purchased a live mallard duck from China Town, which I brought home to my apartment complex. I went into the back alley and rung its neck while holding it over the dipsy-dumpster. Unbeknownst to me at the time, a neighbor had witnessed my actions in the alley and called the police.
After the duck was dead, I went back into my apartment where I plucked and cleaned the bird. By the time the police arrived, the duck was already in the oven. After I explained my actions to the police, they seemed genuinely embarrassed that they were called over such a trivial matter.
Apparently the vast majority of city critters are so removed from reality that they have no concept how food is prepared. If they could not buy their meat wrapped in cellophane from grocery stores, they would starve to death.
You don't see the difference between killing a duck in your back alley, and killing a live cow right in front of your house on your drive way in a suburban neighborhood?
Back to the OP: why would a gay butcher a cow in his driveway? Aren`t those people satisfied with being able to get married to each other and shower with straight soldiers in the army?
Why do homosexuals feel a need to shed innocent animal blood in public?
(1) If there's an ordinance against firing a weapon within city limits, why do it? Why willingly violate such law?
(2) We don't get to cherry-pick which laws to obey and which laws to break.
On the otherhand one might ask in return of you, why ask such a stupid question? Not everyone equates doing what is right with doing what is legal.
Yes, we absolutely do get to cherry pick which laws we follow, regardless of whether it is legal to do so. One has only to do it. People do it every single day by the millions in this country (thank goodness in many cases, we are a better country because of it, I argue), from the mundane (going over the speed limit any amount or violating assorted trite malum prohibitum regulations including many zoning regs) to the more serious (ignoring drug laws, gun laws, the absurd crime of structuring transactions or money laundering, etc...).
It is only legal positivists who equate mere legality with doing what is right. Try being a little more concerned with people doing the right thing, and not basing your arguments on what is merely legal.
Feel free to be a sucker, though, and obey every law indiscriminately, regardless of its coherence or perniciousness (I'm sure you do.... ... riiiigght....).
