The ski property should be fenced to avoid this.
Either that or signs stating that people are leaving their property. 😢
That's impossible in forests-- did you notice how many feet of snow there are??
Private property. Not ski property.
One of the dumbest comments I've ever seen. Nearly impossible and what charge $4000 for a lift ticket
Or the property owner puts up the fence if he doesn't want people on his property.
The guy is tired of resort patrons going on his property, the resort should mark the ski run boundary with flag tape on the trees in a very visible manner.
The resort doesn't own the land, it's public land so the homeowner needs to fence his property or chill out or move.
@@jakeolthof Absolutely incorrect, he put up signs that’s all he’s required to do. So public land ? That makes the taxpayers responsible then. How long have you lived out in the wilderness and have had people trespassing and looking in your windows? 😳
@@kiimmig2293 I worked at the top of little cottonwood canyon and lived there when working at Alta and it's a privilege to live in the national forest and the fact is that you must be a pervert if you think people are going skiing to look in windows because normal people don't think that is a motivation but it's the thing you thought was happening. It's the right of the property owners to build fences or draw the window shades. When you are out looking in people's windows from the sidewalk like I'm hearing you say you do you can't be charged with a crime when you look into open windows. The fact that you think that there's many people like you is concerning, I would urge you to get professional help.
@@kiimmig2293 you know absolutely nothing about liability if you think taxpayers are responsible because of the national Forest. As a lawyer I can tell you that the government is not responsible for criminal acts by private citizens even on public lanbs.
@@kiimmig2293 Signs don't give you the right to point guns at people who trespass but are no threat. I am more pro gun than anyone you know but snowboarders are not a threat and if they are moving fast the signs would not be visible and therefore don't establish boundaries and the resident needs fences and should not brandish weapons where he is not threatened. I have never pointed a gun at anyone and have been the victim of all kinds of criminals. If you see my gun you're about to be shot. This guy is so scared even when armed that I doubt he is competent to have firearms.
Wonder what would happen if a skier, snowboarder ended up on his property, tripped over a log or garden fencing and broke say their leg. Homeowner was inside had no interaction with skier/snowboarder but... OH I KNOW THE ANSWER, THE HOMEOWNER would be responsible! ! Resort should pay for Fences.
Absolutely! Do you know if he was injured he'd come after the homeowner! Something needs to be done in the United States of America to keep private property private!!!
Exactly!! So i don’t blame the home owners for protecting his property and hisself.
Yes Theyd sue the resort Resort wd deny responsibility Homeowner wd be sued Homeowner now has to sue Resort
No, that's a bunch of baloney. The homeowner would not be responsible.
@@keithshaw1780 agree & also the antiquated squatter laws need to be changed. As it stands now, if squatters somehow get into your property (even if they've been there mere HOURS) & the homeowner calls the police, the police will tell homeowner that's a "civil matter" & that they (police) cannot get involved with. And...the police will do absolutely nothing to help. Squatter laws were originally created for people that actually took care of abandoned properties that owners just ignored or neglected, leading them to be run down. If a squatter moved in & IMPROVED the property, then in a matter of years later they could claim adverse possession & legally get the property. Nowadays homeless people & migrants have learned police won't get involved if they can somehow get inside your house & are exploiting those laws. Something needs to be done about this & also boundary issues like in this clip.
It’s easy to stop all you have to do is stay off of other people’s property.
Since when do ski resorts have a tiny groomed road for snowboarders. He knew exactly where he was.
Yep. Look at the tire tracks. It is clearly a driveway. The snowboarder saying he thought it was a “run” leading to a VRBO is pretty clear he knew he was no longer on resort property.
Y'all never been to that resort or any in Utah for that matter. I've seen numerous runs that go out to homes that is in public areas
@@SubliminallyMischievous there is no way that is a groomed area for them to use. It’s obviously someone’s driveway. Stop condoning it that person knew what he was doing. He just got finally caught.
He has every right to guard his private property.
He shouldn't be charged st all, the property owner was well within his rights
No he wasn't. It is not legal for you to threaten the life of someone for accidentally going on your property. You can't do it for them purposely going on your property. People have reasons to go on someone's property all the time. If someone is lost and stops to ask for directions or a Jehovah's Witness knocks on your door or something you're not allowed to threaten them
@saramarshall2957 The trespassers new he was trespassing. It's in his reaction. As to being armed, I wouldn't go out without a gun when you have frequent trespassing. Also, property owners are liable if people get injured on their property regardless of signage. Perhaps as ps the state would like to accept that responsibility.
@@omegaz3393legally, you can't threaten people with guns just for trespassing. I don't blame the guy at all and don't think he should be charged... but legally he's in the wrong.
Actually, I completely agree with omegaz3393 because it's obvious the snowboarder KNEW he was trespassing. It was in his reaction and the fact that he straight away says "I'm sorry" and not "Whoa, what's going on? Why are you pointing a gun at me?". The snowboarder EVEN says, "I thought I was heading in the direction of my B&B and then sarcastically adds "Sorry I walked across your driveway". So, he KNEW it was somebody's driveway, probably DID see the no trespassing signs and ignored them and for all we know, had probably been told to get off the property already. I think the home owner has every right to point an UNLOADED shotgun at the people who are constantly walking through his property and invading his right to privacy. The resort should have to pay a large fine to the home owners in the area any time one of their guests gets caught trespassing, even if only lost, on the private property of the resort's neighbours. Then I'm sure the resort would fix the problem real quick.
@@awkwardautistic Yes, you can. Castle doctorine. If you have signs posting no trespassing private property and a reasonable person would have been able to see the sign then you can absolutely threaten someone for being on your property. In some states you would even be able to take it further.
We had a large property that's posted every 10 feet No Trespassing No Hunting. We've been lied to our faces by jerks with guns telling us the owner gave them permission! Asses with guns lying is terrifying, we finally sold the property. 😕😫🤬
Sue the resort…it’s there responsibly to keep their guest on their property
Since when is a road a ski/snowboard trail.
When it's winter in the national forest.
He claims he thought the trail LED to his neighborhood, but ended up on this long driveway. If you're in an unfamiliar area on a big property, a long driveway could look like a narrow road. It's not entirely implausible.
Stay off private property
Snowboarder didn't know it was private property. The resort should put up clearer markings for the edge of the property to make it crystal clear. Even if the boarder is lying and he knew, it's not legal to threaten or point your gun at people on your property simply for being there, unless they pose an immediate threat. Hands up while verbally saying "sorry" isn't going to meet the criteria of a threat, bud. I feel bad for the property owner for the repeated instances of trespassing, but this really seems like it's between him and the resort and he's taking it out on unsuspecting/lost ski and snowboarders.
Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law @@SecretSauceyjuice
Not a ski area but I had a place in a remote mountain community, 13 miles up a 2 lane road from the highway. It had a beautiful creek running inside the back fence and amazing berry bushes. There were no sidewalks, and no street parking. I would come home to find 2-3 cars parked on my private drive, and up to 10 people on the property well inside my gate and fence picking berries! They left trash, including soiled diapers scattered about, on the property, and in the drive. The property was posted "No Trespassing", and "No Parking". I even put up 2 signs that read "No Picking Berries", as I would pick them for family and friends and even neighbors who made wine and jams. People even stole my firewood for their campfires. The sense of entitlement was nothing short of breathtaking. I'm sure it's gotten much, much worse. One ray of light in the neighborhood was a Vietnam Veteran, he was firm but polite, until he was disrespected, then he'd think nothing of breaking a windshield, or slashing a few tires. (Think "Burt Gummer" from the film Tremors.) One of those FAFO fellas, bless his soul, he's gone now, R.I.P.
Fences make good neighbors. Either the resort or the guy could build it.
Why should he bear the burden of the cost?
@KidPersepolis because it's his property and that's what property owners are required to do if they want a fence. Imagine thinking other people owe you a fence 😂
@@bethanyanne2185 he had posted signs, which is all you need.
Boarders need to see the maps, pay attention and follow rules. Guess what state does if you cross lines when hunting? Loose your gun, truck and big fines. Private is private and the homeowner is not responsible to teach you out of stupidity.
You do see the difference between armed men entering your property and firing upon wildlife without concern for where your children or animals are and a snowboarder sliding down your driveway ?
He's stupid if he can't use his enclosure rights to fix his problem with being in a national forest and not understanding that he's not special and the forest doesn't belong to him.
@@sixtoseven7563Who's to say that "snowboarder" isn't up to no good? It's trespassing. End of story. Why should this homeowner have to spend every second of his time trying to protect himself &/or his family from lord knows who?
@@patriciat.7917 try to tell the jury that you didn't know the boarder was from the ski resort next door that you got history with and thought he was up to no good. Instead of going out with his gun he could have hooked up some video and if the problem is as persistent as he claims take video to local authorities. 2 posts and a chain or gate across his driveway might work too. Check out the old man in upstate NY who shot the carload of kids who got lost going to their friend's house and were Trespassing. He's spending his golden years in prison.
@@sixtoseven7563I see trespassers on private property. We don’t need to know intentions. Stay off private property.
He should NOT be charged! What if tons of people keep walking across your grass and come up to your house, or if people are walking through your backyard? It’s NO different! He OWNS the property & has the right to protect it. YES “Stand your ground” applies if the trespassers make you fearful & scared! 🙄
He wasn't fearful or scared he was just annoyed. You cannot threaten someone's life for accidentally going on your property. That is ridiculous
@@saramarshall2957 So you would have reacted differently if you had been in his position? Strangers cutting across your land, strangers roaming around in your yard, strangers looking in your windows at you, for years and nothing you have done has stopped it and no one in authority will help you. Wouldn't you be scared each and every time? How would you have handled it?
If I was the homeowner I would NOT settle or try and have the charges dropped. I would want to take this to trial. The DA is obviously nuts.
@@saramarshall2957easy for you to say when you don't have a barrage of random people walking through your property.
@@shawnycoffmanyes absolutely would handle it differently. And i have and so own property that's right by a college where people constantly walk through a part of it. I don't buy his people looking through his windows bs. That's a fallacy to swing the case his way. Just like putting up brand new signs before taking pictures to show the court as justification. People skiing through a section obviously going from point A to point B where it's obvious that they are only going through and not stopping is NOT justification to use deadly force or the appearance of. That's like me pulling a gun on someone cutting across my open lawn with no signs while i live on the corner and people just cut from one sidewalk to the next instead of going to the corner and turning. And i lived in Utah for half my life and can say that they are not Texas. They don't have gun laws anywhere close to that.
Resort should enforce property lines especially ski ones because traditional property lines markers are harder to make visible with all the snow. To make a fence high enough to show the boarder it would have to be 20 feet at least and cost them fifty percent plus of the property value.
The resort should have been the ones to pay for a fence! 🤬
Cali kid trespassing. Kid was on a road with no trespassing signs everywhere because of people like this. Claiming ignorance is not a valid defense.
The snowboarder should be charged with trespassing
He does NOT deserve to be charged!!!!! 😡
For the assult yes, gun, no
Yes he does. Stop defending unreasonable Behaviour
He absolutely SHOULD be charged! Diminishing the fact the gun wasn’t loaded is BS the skier would not have known that.
People keep referring to the trespasser as a snow boarder. He is a potential home invader on a snowboard. A potential burglar on a snowboard. When someone enters private property illegally you do not know why they are there. Maybe the "snowboarder" was there to do harm but was deterred when he saw the gun. If you don't own the land stay off of it.
YESSSSSS!
He clearly knows he's on private property, stating to apologize as soon as he sees the owner.
He knew he was on private property, the first thing he said, “I’m sorry”! If you just thought you ran into a random threat, you don’t apologize.
YEP... He saw the signs...
The city/county/resort should help the property owner put up signage to keep everyone safe. The property owner needs progressively aggressive signage installed at various spots along the private road: ▪︎ "Do Not Enter. Private Property" ▪︎ "Turn Around Now. This Is Private Property" ▪︎ "Turn Around Now. We Already Told You" ▪︎ "Why Are You Still On Private Property" ▪︎ "Beware. You Are Entering A Target Range"
Good for him! GET OFF MY LAND!!!!
What he wasn't expecting 😅 was that it would be caught on camera📱📸📲💻
Seems like an electric gate on the driveway might work…
Trip wires
It's illegal to booby trap your property and your house
Pain for by the by the resort.
On mountian, that gets enough snow to ski
"I thought I was going to die, that *'needs'* to stop.." What a "brave" *cry* *baby‼️🤦🤦*
🤌It's a tough guy over here💻... the snowboarder had No way of knowing the Shotgun pointed at him was unloaded. How would you feel, oh wait, grab the weapon and disarm him, huh 😂!
Its not just a nuisance, its trespassing. Skiers need to familiarize themselves with the resort layout, and stay on designated trails.
For the record thats not a shotgun
What is it ?
He explained stand your ground so badly,
Well within his rights. He can't be charged with a gun charge on his own property! You have a right to bear arms on your own property!
The signs aren't working because vandles pulled them down
He should have had signs posted if he was going to “threaten” someone this time around.
The threat is not whether the gun is loaded or not, it’s the victim’s perception - like robbing a bank with a fake gun or finger in a pocket.
He apologized. The owner knew who didn't know since he told him "private property".
It’s because people who live in rural areas get tired of tourists who just drive all over the place and don’t give a crap about signs we deal with that here all the time I had to put my car up to block people from coming through my road. Because I’m in a small community ranch, we are not allowed to put up fences across our property because deer and elk are supposed to be able to use the highways to get around, it doesn’t always apply to people driving. I’ve had people drive onto my land and onto my property. I live rural next to a forest and nobody is supposed to come back here. I’m with the homeowner!! When you go on a vacation in a rural environment, be careful where you go because people take this very very, very seriously. I have tried to tell people this. Anytime I’m hiking or walking. I don’t go near private property not even an inch!!
It's NOT just that ONE snowboarder coming on his property. This young man doesn't realize it. He thinks he's the only one who made that mistake. How would he like if many humans were on his property.
You make the point for the snowboarder... How on God's green Earth would that guy Ever know he was in the wrong Area? No signage from the ski resort.. You see as he walks out of the driveway ( which I agree the home owner has rights to his privacy), there are no signs or warnings. Why not put a gate, or sign b4 the entrance and then problem solved. What do you think..
@earthangel8596 Obviously, the snowboarder is oblivious to the home owner being upset bc the snowboarder thinks he's the "only one" who showed up in the driveway. Otherwise, he would have understood why the home owner went off on him. Wait until he has a home and uninvited people show up in his yard. If the snowboarder had any empathy, he would take it up with the resort, not the frazzled home owner.
The snow boarder knew what he was doing and didn’t care Let’s close the ski resorts That might stop the entitled snowflakes
@goods, says the frazzled ❄️ 🤣
@@earthangel8596 ?
How long before prosecutor apologizes for this idiocy?
If the prosecutor is a Democrat? NEVER
@@steveprice3355that’s just ignorant. You are wrong. The prosecution never apologizes. Show me one republican who’s ever apologized. BTW …it’s utah
Respect for personal property is lacking.
So technically in that state , you can no longer be trespassed, as you just claim you feared for your life, because the other person was armed and there wasnt any posted signage.
Then don’t buy property next to a ski resort…unbelievable
Did you seriously say "Quote unquote Nuisance" about snowboarders and other people trespassing on his property over and over, past MULTIPLE posted signs, to the point of walking past his FRONT DOOR and LOOKING IN HIS WINDOWS?! I'm sorry, but that's more than a nuisance! I was originally on the side of that snowboarder,but i can see now that he left out part of his video and lied about seeing posted signs, because he was snowboarding DOWN THIS GUY'S DRIVEWAY! Of course he saw the signs! He just chose to ignore them because his buddies told him they came that way so he could too. He's a liar.
Narly dude...
Totally was lying and that's why he was doing that video "by chance" and acted innocently "I'm sorry!" even though he clearly knew what he was doing was wrong and he was enticing the owner!
@@LisaPFrampton Yes... I believe they call it... NARCISSISTIC TENDENCIES...
In a genuine free society there is nothing stopping a homeowner from defending their property. It's a basic.
Everything probably is marked off properly and he just wanted to record what would happen
CHARGES!??? On your OwN property!!!???
That boomer is going to end up in jail if he keeps acting like a cowboy over lost tourists walking around his driveway
Did you see a “No Trespassing” sign anywhere in the video. Real weapon or not - this was an ambush.
There were signs. The entitled Californian either couldn't read (not surprising) or believed that they didn't apply to him (also not surprising).
YEP... He saw the signs... He no care... Laws only apply to those that care...
@@robertyoung2819 I wonder if the ones that are charging the property owner actually from Utah and not originated from California. The fact that the property owner was even charged sounds suspiciously like a California system.
@@ericagilvin1859 I have NO idea where this "DUDE" is from... However... Yes... He does sound as if he may be from California... With his lack of brain capacity to understand and acknowledge the legality of what the signs might mean... That he righteously ignored... Which... Ended up with him boarding down a private driveway... Instead of some NARLY trails... I mean marijuana has been legal in California for some time now... DOH!!!
HE SAID SORRY RIGHT AWAY HE ALSO SAID HE DID NOT KNOW IT WAS PRIVATE PROPERTY HE WASN’T A JERK ABOUT IT AND STARTED WALKING AWAY THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THAT MAN TO TELL HIM DO IT AGAIN AND YOU WILL HAVE HOLES IN YOU ‼️ THAT WAS RIDICULOUS AND UNCALLED FOR ESPECIALLY SINCE THE SNOWBOARDER WAS POLITE AND LEFT WITH NO PROBLEM ‼️‼️
it’s private property he can brandish his weapon or point it at any trespasser
He only exercised a justified use of force to enforce his property line. He didn't hurt *ANYTHING* except the trespassers feelings. I can't understand why he is being charged. The resort or where the snowboarder came from is who should be charged with any crime if there is one.
Bluff? How would the snowboarder know that?
Looks like utah doesn't give a crap about property owners
A man has to do what he has to to protect his property. Read the Constitution and Bill of Rights🇺🇸
That misunderstanding could have gotten someone dead!
Does the resort not have a map of there property? Do they not give a tutorial? Look at the snowboarder's attitude, "what is the big deal". For the lawyer "fear for your life"? How are YOU going feel if you are getting startled by a strangers in your yard?
Whatever state that is, you can just trespass kindly... As long as no violence is involved, you can trespass all day. Remember, trespass with a smile or they'll use their gun on you.
so you're ok with trespassers looking in your windows all day as long as they do it nicely?
@@yvongauthier4409 are they doing it with a smile? Apparently to the DA there that's the case.
Entitled Californian
@@mikehilbert9349EXACTLY!!!! Utah has been invaded by entitled, spoiled Californians who need to leave and take their Woke is Broke policies back with them!
Lots of comments about the resort not having signs. I am not sure where people are getting that information from; maybe I missed it in the video. Its been forty years since I skied. I don't remember going to any location that did not have a sign at the lift, either at the bottom or the top, telling people to stay on the trail. Even the sky patrol would tell you that if they spotted you off the trail. The best argument I was ever given is that if I hurt myself off the trail, how would they know? That got through my teenage brain.
The property owner didn't break any laws.
The homeowner needs to press charges for trespassing for sure. The DA is in for a difficult time in court, although the defense attorney is apparently an idiot. Making a public statement, especially the one he did is the worst thing for his client to date.
Property owner is correct. Great job by him.
He can use any force nessasary. 😡
You don't know if he put the signs up after that or if the gun was empty. Which I doubt the gun was empty. Who carries an empty gun to attack someone. You can tell the guy is a little off. So is his attorney gonna make up excuses when he kills someone??
you don't use guns as a prop
You absolutely can when people go on your property constantly, if the gun wasn’t loaded and only used to scare people, it’s not illegal
And yet...Alec Baldwin shot a womans head off and will never see the inside of a prison
So i can come on your property no problems?
@joshkrause2977 How about folks just steal everything he has!? Forced sharing is okay...According to him. If we just all turn in our guns...you know the criminals will too! 😆 Of course the police would be there the minute he calls!😂

That homeowner was well within his right people stay off of private property if you wouldn't have been on his private property that poor man wouldn't be in trouble can't you read stay off private property!!!!!!!!!!!
This is so similar to the guy that shot at a car full of teenagers and killing a 20 year old girl for getting lost and making a u turn in his driveway by accident.
really so tolerate the problem until a break in occurs oh you're so naive the property owner already caught people look into his home physically the problem was clearly growing out of control in a way that the property owner had to do something drastic to force the Resort to actually consider doing something
What he did in NY was uncalled for and he was rightfully prosecuted for it . This is nothing like that
This is not similar at all...unless you have no knowledge of property rights, laws and are biased against those who own things that go bang.
not even close
Stay out of peoples private property You have no right on their property
Carrying your gun is one thing. Pointing it is a no-no.
So it's trespassing.
@@umadbra yep especially in todays age given how government property maps are being overlayed by private services onto services like google maps to keep people like hunters from getting into trouble

Unresolved emotional issues.
That is why he was snowboarding
There needs to be some common sense used here!
Why does the property owner not fence the property? Make it impossible to trespass in skis
He really shouldn't have to pay for a fence to keep people from trespassing.
Thats like saying why doesn't he wear a protective cup all the time, to keep keep people from kicking him in the balls
6' fence with 8' of snow on top of it. "Make it possible to trespass"
@tedgale1079 Then get a 10 foot fence. Do what u gotta do. But a reasonable person wouldn't have an unfenced property bordering a resort and think that people aren't gonna frequently wonder onto it without knowing. And you could even make a makeshift boundary with a rope tied between trees during the winter if snow level is an issue.
@@bullseye2474We don't live in a bubble. We live in a cooperative society. And no, he doesn't have to pay for a fence. But if you want people to be absolutely aware of where the boundaries are then yes, a fence you must pay for. It's no one's responsibility to know where the property boundaries are everytime they venture into a new neighborhood.
fencing large pieces of land is EXPENSIVE! I dnt see any of the complainers raising a gofundme for this man to be able build a fence? city folk who live on half an acre of land & can hear their neighbors sneeze & are commenting here, don't understand what the implications are of "just build a fence" 🙈
The resort is responsible.
This "innocent" snowboarder was looking for trouble. He knew exactly what he was doing. His smugness and innocent act says it all. There was nothing wrong with what the property owner did. At no time in this video was the snowboarder in real danger. Sometimes letting someone know you're serious is what's needed. The entitlement of this snowboarder is the real danger.
The owner gets charged and the trespasser gets to humiliate him by putting up a video. Next your neighbor can walk in your house and take food out of the fridge and the owner gets changed for not having this brand of milk in the fridge!
Skiers and hikers disappear all the time.😳😂😂😂
Funny the snowboarder is from California, the state known for ridiculous lawsuits That man was defending his property which is his right, I’d be fed up to
Trespass is trespass. The ski resort shouldn't be so "innocent." They NOW need to let skiers and boarders alike to know where properties of the resort end and the beginning of private. Let's be fair... at least no one was hurt.
He shouldn’t face any charges!!! He has the right to protect his property!!
Fence...? 🤷♀️
Ya know... Americans have let the government take a mile when given the opportunity, so when this happens, it becomes very hard to feel sympathetic for fools who walked themselves into this trap with the government. Js.
Unfortunately, sometimes having to constantly deal with the same thing over and over just pushes the person into over frustration. That's all too bad. I feel bad for both men.
I do not feel bad for the skier. He knew exactly what he was doing, skiing down that man's DRIVEWAY which had signs clearly marking it as private property, conveniently recording himself just as he came upon the landowner! Watch the entire video and you'll see. Not even all of it was shown here. The skier was knowingly trespassing and provoking the landowner!
Owner should Sue the ski resort. This was intentional. I feel bad for the property owner. Skiers are responsible for knowing where they are
He just sits there in his lawn chair. Snow up to your shoulders.
Good way to enjoy your property in the winter wonderland... Must be nice... Except for when the careless individuals who feel that they can do whatever they want... Come along...

Who's the DA filing charges? I think complaints need to be made!
Besides the fact that videos don't just "go viral" organically, there's the question of who's filming? Camera angle keeps switching from one side to the other and no GoPro on his head, so as usual, even without the "viral video" lie, the story is 🎭🎭.
The punk needs to be prosecuted for trespass.

Maybe stay off his private property
This is so backwards. Look...if it was me, I wouldn't care. But I grew up surfing and skating... and eventually infrequently snowboarding. Wouldn't have been happy about people looking in my house... But overall I wouldn't care. BUT I'm not the property owner. That's HIS place and as evidenced by the many signs he DID have a problem with it. I don't think the homeowner did anything wrong and the DA should go see a shrink, the homeowner isn't the problem here... The many people going on to his private property are the problem.
TikTok at work. This guy seems pretty happy with the free publicity.
With all the gps, digital maps, and tech, there’s no reason for the resort patron to have any doubt about where they can go. Property will never be sued, and will win the day. Next time mr youtuber may not get so lucky.
The last sentence is misinformed. Homeowners are entitled to defend their EXTERIOR property but not with deadly force (unless threatened with force - SYG). Homeowners are entitled to defend their INTERIOR property with deadly force if someone is being violent or tumultuous.
Wrong
???
Just jehovah's witnesses
To be threatend with a gun is unforgettable and really nasty.
They two of them should sue the resort together. They are both victims of the resorts negligence.
No The home owner is a victim The snow boarder is not Stop the nonsense That guys property is his Why can’t people stay out He knew he was trespassing
Should have his property posted no trespassing. I’m not against the property owner, because the other guy should know his surroundings. Two wrongs don’t make one right.
He did. It's shown in the video.
@@susandean5622 then the other guy should de held accountable for trespassing.
@@susandean5622those signs look awfully new and there weren’t any in the boarder’s video
@auggiedoggiesmommy1734 That is because he deleted those parts... Or... Started filming right after he had passed the signs... Don't want those silly signs in my videos... At least not the videos I show the public... The ones he showed his "Bro's"... Probably have them in plain view... Like dude... Check it out...
His property 😅WAS posted!
Doesn't matter if the shot gun is unloaded, the fact he had it in his hands and got confrontational earned him the charges
On his own property……
And this type of logic is exactly the problem. The were numerous signs and the snowboarder knew he intentionally violated the homeowners request. Why is it so hard to respect other people?
First off, he's saying it's unloaded. The shotgun very well could have been loaded, and at the time, that snowboarder had No way of knowing it was Not loaded. So put yourself in that position. Also I watch this video over again, and as they walk out of the driveway, I'm not seeing any signage saying private property. There is skis and parked cars as they exit the tunnel drive.. if you truly want to FIX the problem .. a simple gate or sign stuck into the snow would remedy the situation.
