Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire FL Man Sentenced to 20 Years For Shooting Over Handicapped Parking Space

He was certainly within his rights to say something to her about parking illegally. What further purpose did it serve to stand there and argue with her about it? Why didn't he just call a cop?

I have the right to flip someone off if they cut me off in traffic. Getting out and engaging in fisticuffs (or worse) with them solves what? That makes me the aggressor.

Jeez- how many times do we read guys in this forum telling us all what they would do if some guy dared to confront 'MY' wife.

Stupid and avoidable by all parties.

Disrespectful people with entitled mindset parking in the spot. No problem with someone telling them off- to a point.

Then there is cocky little man, over the limit - walking around armed. No effing excuse for that. WTF. Beyond dangerous.

Discovers his mouth has written a check his intoxicated azz can't cash because, oh-oh, it ain't just a woman he is dealing with.

Worst part of all is, if I remember correctly, there are kids in the car. They certainly didn't deserve to see that. No Sir.

Blame enough all around. -adults!

If Dad parks in the right spot, or keeps his head and gee, I dunno, sets a good example he lives to set another one.

If responsible gun owner stayed responsible he sleeps it off at home. No jail time or sore ass and ego.

Avoidable. That word will 'what if ' these folks for the rest for their days.

Mom was driving and it was a police officer who was drunk.

Right, not the shooter. Amazing how people want to twist this.

Sorry- I am not wanting to twist anything - just misread. My bad. I still stand by that responsible thinking would have saved lives- and spared children.

This guy is the self appointed sheriff of handicapped parking. And he is a bully.
Why? Because, he saw a black female, by herself, and he confronted her.

All we need to ask, to see if he is a bully, is What would he have done, if rather than a single black female, what if there were two big Hells Angels on their Harleys, parked in that handicapped spot. Would he have confronted them?

Since I carry 24/7 365 I’ve learned to stay out of petty squabbles. I don’t GAF if some mud shark parks in a handicap space, it ain’t my fight. I damn sure don’t care enough about petty laws enough to get into a fist fight over them and a gunfight ain’t gonna be precipitated over a parking spot.

I don’t know about 20 years though....I also don’t know the particulars that got him 20 years. The entire thing was stupid and unnecessary from get go.

Yup, agreed men, that's why I was after TRH's take on the matter, iirc he's pretty quick to call out trigger happy popo's, if correct, defending this pos pussy is 180 off that, guess I'm just looking for a little consistency in conviction, oh well, I may have said something bad about a bulldog and got put on ignore ; ]

TRH never misses an opportunity to display the product of a You Tube education. He continues to retain a narrow lead in the KOTY comp as a result of his depth of ignorance on such a broad variety of topics. Credit must be given for consistency.

The detective who busted the shooter, got busted for DUI, in a completely unrelated case, many months after the shooting.

Why did someone post this? What in the world has this got to do with the case at hand?

What makes you think I have you on ignore??

Amazing how YOU want to twist this.

The best ending to this story is that two idiots will not do any more breeding and that my friends is a win -win in my book !

Only one was shot.

it takes TWO to argue, and the parking offender was prepared to argue her case.
but according to some the argument is all the fault of the shooter.




The physical aggressor did not even begin with a reasonable approach by asking what's going on,
he just came charging in and assaulted.

effectively we have an aggressive rash hot headed man breaking the law in order to defend his female partner
that is breaking the law..
but again a number here see the fault of the situation as being all on the shooter.




walking away?....I only see him take A step back after he sees the gun....maybe if he had actually turned and walked away
with his back to the self defence gunman,.. he would not have been shot.

No it's not. But then again he got 20 years for killing the guy who knocked him down. Frankly, I'm not sure how I would react if a critter from the dark continent knocked me down. Or anyone else for that matter.
Paul B.

George Zimmerman was carrying a gun and looking for trouble by not minding his own business,
in fact he was a very nosy and highly enthusiastic neighborhood watch type.
but most of the CF vehemently defended his actions of shooting Martin for assaulting him.

Even the cops just prior had told Zimmerman to leave it alone when he called 911.

Not even close. Zimmerman was on the ground with his assailant astride him, getting his head pounded into the sidewalk when he shot St. Trayvon of Skittles.

This guy was knocked down by someone who was starting to walk away. I have no problem with him pulling his gun and holding it to make sure the guy kept walking, but he had no reason to shoot.

So an assault victim has to wait till the assailant has an increasingly huge physical advantage over them before shooting in self defence?

You would not shoot the carpark physical offender until you were being so severely beat up/disadvantaged like Zimmerman was?

well consider, [for some folk] that may be way too late to have opportunity to save themselves from serious harm or death.




NO body is considered walking away till they are actually walking away, A simple step backward is not walking away.

iF an intruder ever knocks you down on your own property remember not to shoot when he takes a single step backward.





Kept walking?...you are conveniently imagining things like those who erroneously say he was 'shot in the back'.
