He was chased down in the second incident because he shot people dead in the first incident. He shot people dead in the first incident because that is basically allowable under US law: The precise details of whether he was really cornered in the first incident are probably open to interpretation, but since it takes a unanimous jury to convict, then the law was essentially on his side. The issue of whether he was there solely protecting property is also relevant when considering original motive. That point could have been examined more closely - e.g. to what extent he was acting alone. - Shyaku
