newsThat's a walk away and tackle later kind of problem. If their only move is "gun" then they have no other ability to protect themself. Walk away slowly, wait for them to let their guard down before tackling them in the scooter and taking their gun away. Let them cry that they can't abuse anyone anymore. Point it at them to show them what it feels like to stare down the barrel of someone angry at you, uncertain of what the next few seconds bring.
"Get off my lawn!" taken to the extreme.
What do you mean he was arrested several months later
Well, the guy was on a mobility scooter, not pedestrian. And armed with a gun. Chasing isn't a joke. It took a month, but the job is done!
I assume plenty of overtime was required
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a mobility scooter is a good guy with a mobility scooter.
I want to see that hot pursuit in action. A chase through town, at times reaching jogging speeds with no concern for bystanders.
Something like this?
Does that make the scooter a technical?
Florida man strikes again! Armed with a gun, riding on a mobility scooter, fighting with a bad attitude. Courage and imbecilism!
"No but you seem to be if you have to pull out a gun instead of fighting me with your bare hands."
Witty one liners are always a good idea when faced with an emotionally unstable gunman.
They'll either back down or kill me. Either way, I win. 🤷♂️
You could be in the hospital in excruciating pain and then survive with long-term health problems.
a cashier surviving the US healthcare system? I doubt.
Important to note that you'll survive trauma because you're in the care of the hospital. It's later, when you need specific medication, that you die due to not being able to afford it.
But they win tho!
I’m not sure we have the same definition of win, but I suppose you do win by your definition so continue.
Tbf, at 79 with mobility issues, if you're an able bodied adult male let's say 18-35ish and you actually started and escalated the altercation, and local laws regarding attempt to retreat (or lack thereof) are followed, he might could actually win the court case for self defense due to the totality of circumstances if his lawyer can convince the jury that he didn't start/escalate and he prevented death or great bodily injury to himself. Just a fun fact, you don't necessarily need to be armed.
Yeah, if the situation was completely different he might’ve been justified.
OOP: "Are you scared now?"
What I replied to: "No but you seem to be if you have to pull out a gun instead of fighting me with your bare hands."
I'm not saying what OOP did was legal, I'm saying "you r pussy because you no fight likely younger stronger man" doesn't consider the totality of the circumstances the way the law does, and therefore isn't really that strong of a point itself. Especially over other points like "he escalated/started it" and whatnot that y'know are more to the point.
Feel free to continue whiteknighting their point, but at least get mine correct please.
theres another florida man that is 79 years old.
