A man in Cape Coral, Florida on Wednesday was arrested for shooting and killing an unarmed door-to-door salesman on his property.

Kenneth Bailey Roop, 52, has been charged with second-degree murder for killing 30-year-old Nicholas Rainey.

A co-worker who witnessed the shooting said Rainey had knocked on Roop’s door, but received no answer. While Rainey was walking down the drive-way, Roop pulled up in his pickup truck and asked why Rainey was at his house. Rainey explained that he was selling steak and seafood. The witness said Roop then pulled out a black handgun and shot Rainey. As Rainey lay on the ground, Roop fired another bullet into the back of his head.

Roop later told police that he shot Rainey in the head “for effect” and that he had three no trespassing signs on his property. Roop said he feared for his life.

“I’m not going to give him the chance to do something to me,” he told police. “I was in fear.”

An off-duty Collier County sheriff’s deputy was nearby and heard the gunshots. When she arrived at Roop’s property, she found Rainey dying on the ground while Roop was in his garage reloading his handgun.

“He was telling the officer, ‘he stepped on my property, he trespassed, I’ll kill anybody that steps on my property,’ somewhere along them lines. It was just unbelievable,” one witness told the The News-Press. “She never flinched. She deserves a medal. I don’t think he was done [shooting].”

The deputy ordered Roop to drop his weapon and held him at gunpoint until police officers arrived.

Roop’s neighbors described him as “the neighborhood crazy.” Roop has a concealed weapons permit and approximately 14 firearms.

    Why is this second degree? Looks like like it was intentional, premeditated killing to me. A second shot in the back of the head, execution style and he was even reloading.
    What was he afraid of from an unarmed man?
    Is it second degree cos he's mentally unfit?

    Are you angry that the man was arrested?
    Are you angry that the man killed another man?
    Are you angry that the man killed was a salesman?
    Are you just angry?
    What?

    I assume you mean either we, or something along those lines at least.

    We had a case here in PA where some nut attacked his drug dealer with a samurai sword and set fire to the house. After extinguishing the fire, the firemen found the victim's burnt body pinned to the floor with the samurai sword through it.
    At least that nut didn't give guns a bad name.

    we are not talking about drug dealers, this is a case about a salesman doing his job and a gun nut thinking he could shoot some one and claim stand your ground, so how does what you say even comes close to what this nut did?

    ANOTHER gun control agent provocateur!

    Well ain't this just 'coincidental'? Finally the libs have a 'law abiding' poster boy for gun control.

    If you didn't see this one coming, you weren't paying attention.

    Define 'substance.' I'm guessing from your comments throughout that any opinion which differs from yours lacks 'substance.'

    If that's correct I'll only try to post in response to you when we agree about something. Will that be more to your liking?

    No, you can't have my gun. I don't kill people with it, unless I would have to.

    Last month, US president Barack Obama ordered US flags to be flown at half-mast for six days in the memory of 12 Americans killed by a fellow American at premiere of the latest Batman movie in Aurora. He also spoke against the US gun culture.

    However, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and the Journal of the American Medical Association – doctor’s prescribed FDA-approved prescription drugs kill far more people each day in the United States than guns. It says you are 6200% more likely to be killed by your doctor than by a homicidal shooter. Their data shows that FDA-approved prescription drugs kill 290 Americans every single day.

    Actually the fire arms murder rate is less than the drug overdose death rate but not by as much as you might think. More people commit suicide with firearms than die from ODs.
    I would rather someone shoot himself than try to wreck his car or jump in front of a bus.

    Here are my sources. Check for yourself.

    19,445 drug related deaths in year 2000
    http://drugwarfacts.org/cms/?...

    In the United States during 2000. the majority of gun-related deaths in the United States were suicides with 17,352 (55.6%) of the total….. while 12,632 (40.5%) were homicide deaths

    This country has lost it's way. We worship violence in almost everything we do now and this is the result. This man was known by the neighbors as the neighborhood crazy and yet he still was able to get a permit to carry and had all these weapons. The worst part of this is the very people who will do this are the ones we should be most afraid of.
    Not long ago my state passed a law that makes it legal to carry as long as it is in a holster and the safety is on. And this without a permit.
    There is a need for being allowed to have guns but to what end does carrying a gun do? This is a perfect example of how it can and will only get worse. If you are an honest law abiding person that does carry there is very little chance that you will ever expect someone to pull a gun and shoot you. You will be just as dead as you would without that gun so what is the point?

    To be honest, I really didn't know which choice to take. Am I sick of these psychos that are allowed to run free instead of being locked up or put down? Absolutely. But, and I'm only guessing here and could be wrong, if the question is linked to whether we need gun control, then my answer is never. Now, I'm not in any way advocating the senseless acts of these psychotic few, but, the second amendment is there for a reason people. And one of the reasons(a reason we, as a people seem to forget) was that, if the government became too oppressive or unjust(much like our current asinine admin) we, as a people, would be able to rise up against that corrupt government. Much like what was done in the Revolutionary War.
    Perhaps the answer lies in actually enforcing the gun laws that are already in place.

    Keep in mind that if you try to overthrow the government, you are also overthrowing the institution that gave you the Second Amendment. There is no guarantee that whatever form of government follows a violent and bloody coup will have any Bill of Rights whatsoever. In all likelihood, it will not.

    It is the chance we take if the government turns against it's people. Same chance they took to start our great land.
    Besides, the current admin has pretty much been using the constitution for tp anyway.
