How about we break out measuring tapes and examine where the tree cutters were?   Let's question whether this level of escalation was necessary?  Guess we'll never know how Carlos'  tree hackers interacted with a fellow...on HIS property.  Polite or smugly confrontational? Could have left a citation on the door and let him decompress?  Was ANYONE in danger when APD arrived? Musser didn't seek out trouble.  It came to his "castle".  

That aside, another septuagenarian, lying in a coma was the THIRD victim assaulted by 4 thugs, three blocks form a police sub-station.  NO SUSPECTS IN CUSTODY. Please explain the greater danger to public safety and why the same level of resources expended on a man defending his property wasn't spent bringing this to a resolution?   

Never mind.  This narrative has been pre-ordained by Chief Wiggum and the spoon-fed revisionist accompli at ADN.

I suppose CHAOS=CA$H.  No APD overtime chasing thugs in Mt. View when Hillside Property owners offer a land grab
