The answer is in the video, literally 🤦‍♀

Not defending this psychopath, but in rural areas of the U.S. police response time may be upwards of 30 minutes to an hour or more. There's a saying that "When seconds count, the police are just minutes away." That statement is especially true in the middle of nowhere.

Someone turning around their car in your driveway can be very scary apparently 😭

More like 4 gates, 7 locks, and an over abundance of cameras and security alarms. What a bunch of cowards!

Boy you hit the nail right on the head. The fact that there was no gate makes it seem like he was almost luring someone to shoot.

I live in a small community up the way from this man’s house. We’ve always heard rumors that someone would have a gun pointed at you if you dove up their driveway and they didn’t immediately recognize you. Some of them said he would have it pointed at you as you came around the turn. Some people said you wouldn’t see anyone but you’d hear loud bangs somewhere off in the distance and see dirt clods shoot up into the air in front of your car. Others said they’ve had tires popped while a mysterious bang was heard just a split second before. My neighbor once told of a time they drove up the wrong path and came to a house where someone started screaming and chasing after them with a pistol saying get off my property or you’ll be buried on my property. Now everyone is aware they weren’t rumors. It’s also crazy that the police never investigated it until now. Glad to know the members in my community aren’t crazy. Well, except this guy. Edit: it makes me wonder if they’ll ever start finding bodies. Given all the rumors. I have a suspicion they won’t be of Caucasian descent

OR, get a dog.....or THREE. I haven't locked a door in 15 years. Don't have a doorbell, either. If you walk up the drive my 3 Shepherds will let me know you've arrived before you get on the stoop.

Everything in a lawsuit 😮

You might be surprised how that goes. Kaylin committed a crime that led to all of this so she is liable. Ever notice how if you miss a turn Google maps *never* shows you turning around on private property and directs you around public roads. That's because that is what is legal to do.

Tell me how that is crime? Please enlightening me? I have a criminal attorney in my family I would to take how you explained this so I can show him and see what his thoughts are.

​@@shannonbarber6161Committed a crime? Turning around in someone's driveway isn't a crime , genius.

shannonbarber. a bit warped in the mind aren't we? watch too much fox spews and worship the 🍊🤡?

Some people have a false entitlement to what is theirs, and what they can do. They wasn't expecting anyone, a car and a couple of motorcycles show up at night out front, so instead of calling the police "I'll handle this." Some people really think you can just shoot someone for just being on their property unannounced. It's nerve racking there's people out there like that, especially when my part time job is delivering to peoples houses.

Paranoid? Not right upstairs?

@@itzamiaThere is no time to call police for something like this. When you are delivering packages you should be in a clearly marked vehicle, wearing a uniform, operating during daylight, carrying a package.

@@shannonbarber6161they didn’t even get out of the car and they certainly didn’t do anything that justified murdering them. Are you seriously blaming the victims here? Insane.

​​​​​@@shannonbarber6161They weren't delivering any packages. They were lost trying to get to a party they had been invited to, but turned down the wrong driveway, one driveway too soon, from where they were trying to go. The two different driveways are both very long and laid out rather similarly to each other. There's another video that shows the area on Google Earth and the main road and two driveways for the area. One of the biggest problems was that these young ppl kept losing signal on their GPS. So now they're dead, killed, murdered for nothing but getting lost on a dark, rural roadway? So wrong of that old man. He deserves what he got because he also lied to the dispatch trying to cover up what he had done. He may have gotten off more easily had he not been so stupid until he lied on tape talking to the emergency dispatch person. What an idiot. And his wife was in on the lies, too.

This isn’t a movie. You don’t shoot a gun unless you’re going to kill something. And he did.

Shooting into the air is extremely dangerous, because according to the law, you are still responsible for where that bullet comes down. It is extremely irresponsible..

claiming to have fired a warning shot that by accident killed the victim is often used as a defense tactic which often fails. Warning shots also are not only a tacticaly bad idea but destroy any chance of self defense. @@Wisepati

@@joemacdonald6312 "After Colten's body fell out of the car, both Sheldon and Ms. Stanley say they saw the barrel of a .22 calibre bolt-action rifle lying near his body, with the stock and trigger missing. An officer said there appeared to be a live round in the chamber. There were no spent casings in the area. The police theory laid out in the ITO seems to be that the group had attempted to break into a vehicle on a neighbouring farm, where residents reported finding a broken rifle stock. The residents told police it appeared the stock broke when someone tried to force their way into a locked truck." "According to the ITO, that afternoon Colten Boushie and his girlfriend Kiora Wuttunee went swimming in the Maymont River with their friends Eric Meechance, his girlfriend, Belinda Jackson, and a young man named Cassidy Whitstone. The young people had been drinking during the day and some of them said they were drunk, according to the statements they gave police. They were riding in Ms. Wuttunee's grey 2003 Ford Escape. At about 5:30 pm they arrived at the Stanley farm, after, according to the document, visiting a neighbouring farm belonging to the Fouhy family, where they "attempted to steal vehicles and items," the ITO says. The story provided by Colten's family is that he and his friends were having car trouble. A police officer who was at the scene said the car had only a rim, no tire, on the front driver's side. According to Colten's brothers, Colten and his friends may have been looking for help. Sheldon Stanley was helping his father Gerald build a fence when Colten and his friends drove up the gravel driveway from the main road that runs in front of their property. Leesa Stanley, Gerald's wife, was mowing the lawn a short distance away. Sheldon told police he saw the Ford Escape slow near a pickup parked in their yard. Then he saw a young man, it's not clear who, but almost certainly not Colten Boushie, get out of the Escape and jump into the pickup. Then Sheldon said he heard the Stanleys' ATV starting up. Sheldon and his father started to yell, and the young man jumped back into the Ford Escape. Sheldon said the vehicle swerved in his direction. Sheldon, who was carrying a large hammer, smashed the windshield of the Escape as it was reversing. His father, meanwhile, kicked in the taillight. The Escape lurched forward and collided with a parked car belonging to the Stanleys. Sheldon said he saw two men get out of the Escape and run off, while two women, and Colten Boushie, stayed behind. At this point Sheldon said he went to the house to get truck keys. While he was inside he heard two gunshots, and then as he stepped outside again, he heard a third." This is from the police investigation, They went to a neighboring farm, attempted to steal a truck, broke the window with the rifle that caused that rifle buttstock to break and trigger to fall off. You are attempting to distort the facts. There's a reason he was found not guilty. You just want to change facts to fit your absurd narrative.

There can be an aspect to fear like you say. But there is still common sense to the fear. You come out of your home at night on the deck with bright lights on if you think cars are going to cause problems? No, you don't do that. If you are scared for your life, you don't stand where you can easily be seen and shot. You stay inside and watch for a bit. Then you call 911. You can be inside with a gun ready, still watching to see what the people in the cars are going to do. You have the advantage in a dark house while they are outside in the light. He was not afraid. He was a gun toting "macho" wannabe. Watch the video of the closing arguments. It clarifies even more this mans attitude and lies. His call to 911 and his conversation with the officers that came to his home show his blatant untruthfulness (and his wifes as well) as well as his calm and actually flippant attitude. I know in some cases, people might be overly fearful in these times. But he was NOT one of them.

this guy followed what Biden said to do with a shotgun

From the images it looks to me like the house could not be seen from the road necessitating going all the way up the driveway to get lights on the house to see if they had the right place. But that's just an assumption on my part.

Cameras are not always allowed and for decades, there were no such thing as video cameras. There will still be the transcript..

Of course. Who gets convicted for murder and not appeal it?

Actually I don't think the reaction would be much different, and here is why. Monahan could see the vehicles and the motorcycle; he couldn't have seen the occupants of the two vehicles, given that the only light was the vehicle and motorcycle headlights, and the outside lights of the home when Monahan turned those on. No one got out or even opened the door of either vehicle, and at the closest they were 25 to 30 yards from the Monahan home. To put it bluntly, all Kevin Monahan ever needed to do, was watch, and see IF any further suspicious behavior took place (it never did), and that holds true no matter who the occupants of the vehicles were. If there was anything that looked threatening, the next step would be calling 911. For perspective, I live in a rural area, in a "stand your ground" state. It's very quiet, with little vehicle traffic, especially after 9 pm,. People get lost, drive by slowly looking for an address, or pull into the wrong driveway all the time; so the only thing that would be unusual here would be the multiple vehicles. Grounds to turn on outside lights and watch, sure; but absent anything more suspicious, I'd see no reason at that point to even call 911, much less go get my shotgun (yes, I do keep one for home defense). There's exactly NO IMMINENT THREAT, not even close; it's possible, but unlikely, that one will develop. NO reason for me to arm myself, NO reason to go outside, (with or without a gun) and certainly NO reason to show a gun, much less fire it! The lesson here, is that in any emergency, whether you are responding to a call, or the emergency has come to you, your most essential tool is the one located behind your eyes and between your ears; fail to use it, and no matter what else you have, the outcome will be NOT be good! This applies to professional First Responders and ordinary citizens alike! You will likely be anxious, the adrenaline will be pumping, you will likely be afraid, but no matter what, you MUST NOT let fear or any other emotion override your judgement and common sense! That is what Kevin Monahan did; he let fear and emotion create in his mind a threat that never really was, and now a young woman is dead, and Monahan will spend the rest of his life behind bars. This is a tragedy, but one that could have been and should have been avoided. The only positive here, is a clear lesson in what NOT to do in defending your home and family.
