  1. Maybe a dementia patient. They can get violent sometimes. Kinda like a dementia patient I heard of who threatened to run a reporter over with a car for asking a question.

  2. “unknown medical call”

    …but sure, no need to have cops go on “non-law enforcement” calls, nope, nuh-uh, everyone ALWAYS tells 911 EXACTLY and TRUTHFULLY what’s going on for SURE, so go ahead and use that as an excuse to take more money from PDs, I’m sure unarmed ambulance crews will have NO problem dealing with unexpected active shooter situations, yup…(SARC)

  3. …in a lot of ways, Nancy Pelosi is just like this guy. Old and bitter and tired and lazy and just wanting to blast the next person who tries to get something USEFUL out of them out of sheer bitterness and spite.

    …difference is, the cops arrested THIS guy for blatantly committing a crime and boldly bragging about it.

    But the cops will HELP Nancy boldly commit crime after crime after crime and arrest anyone who COMPLAINS when SHE boldly brags about it…

    Was wondering if anyone else noted the uplifting stories to the right on that website (MOST POPULAR). So Florida Man is no longer going to get the credit he deserves.

    On another note my old man (when in his eighties) tried to run over the next door neighbor. Unfortunately the guy was to quick and the old man too slow to the gas pedal. Missed him…

  5. More to this story than told. Dude was a neighbor who riding this guys ass for years and went into his house to confront him..

    Not saying homicide was justified but you rag on my ass in my house and you will be carried out also. As a big fella and cranky old vet most of my neighbors are polite, but I keep my properties up so I understand the dead neighbors attitude, just not his approach.
