However, according to a different CBS DFW report, James Michael Meyer’s neighbors were standing up for him, claiming they understood and that he was only attempting to save his property.

Others, such as Alondra Flores, were also perplexed by the circumstances. I never imagined he would do that, therefore I think it’s crazy. However, it is somewhat comprehensible,” she stated.
