Will Mr. Fleming become the next Ward Bird of the Lakes Region?

In my opinion Ward Bird's poor judgement led to his problems. In this case, Fleming's actions seem well thought out and perhaps even courageous. The next time instead of firing into the ground and risking that a ricochet hit an innocent bystander, Fleming should shoot the burglar between the blinkers! The Fleming fiasco seems like something that might only happen in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Hopefully, common sense prevails and the cops drop the charges quickly. I nominate Mr. Fleming for New Hampshire Man of the Year.
