Florida man shoots out tires of AT&T truck outside home

Dude some people are weird as hell about cars out front. My girlfriend's neighbor has approached her parents every single time I park in front of their place, whether I forget they have an issue with it or I can't park in front of the gf's place. I've heard it before from friends as well. Its weird but a thing.

This is obviously taken to a whole other level considering they're working and HE SHOT AT THEM.
 
The tires are black so he feared for his safety.

You understood his frustration? What?
Read the post to which the poster to whom you're posting a response is posting a response.

I think they just meant "AT&T has terrible customer service, so I am making a joke that I could understand someone sabotaging a truck".

The other post was clear, that was a little less so. I see it now.
 
In all, police said, Jove unloaded at least 18 shots. “He seemed to be a quiet man, and something made him snap today,” said Zogby.

This is all you need to know about the risk of gun ownership.

Everybody loses it at some point in their life. It's just a question of whether you lose it and reach for a gun, or lose it and reach for ... a tomato.

Assholes from Cox parked on top of brand new grass I had planted.

When they wouldn't move I started filling their van with my hose.

Suddenly they were able to move their van what a shocker.

Why don't you set of the area with a rope? It's what we always do when we plant new grass. Instead of having to resort to vandalism just for some stupid grass...
 
Defending oneself from violence when black gets you years of jail time in Florida. Perpetrating violence against others for "reasons" makes you a hero when white in Florida.

The law couldn't be any more clear people!

Firing warning shots is illegal and should be illegal, although the prosecutors should have absolutely taken into account the context in that case.

There is no context that justifies firing at the engine of a vehicle with someone working directly above it. My guess is they're trying to find out how to make tougher charges stick, but whatever, it's Florida.

Yea thankfully in the city people just don't care and park in front of whoever's house they want
 
Clearly the tires need to have guns to protect themselves. When is the NRA taking up that cause? Oh wait, tires are black so NRA won't, got it.

Nope... throw the book at him. He wasn't in any kind danger and he could have killed someone. I hope he goes to prison.

Yeah.

You gotta throw the book at this guy. Grabbing a gun and shooting up a vehicle out of frustration is totally unacceptable.

It would've been just as easy for him to get a knife and slash the tires (not that that is a great thing to do either) but nope, let's grab the revolver because I got it handy and they need to learn a lesson

The footage also shows Jove taking aim at one of the trucks’ engines. “He flattened their tires, he shot into the bodies of the trucks, he shot at one of the radiators of the trucks,” said Zogby. “We’re trying to determine now whether he was actually intentionally trying to shoot the workers or just shoot the vehicles.”
With all the shots into the trucks, the employees potentially being shot would not have surprised me. Glad they weren't shot in the end. Guy needs to be away from others for awhile with that kind of behavior.

I cannot tell if this is supposed to be a parody of something or if you are serious.

Yup it was a black woman. She fired warning shots and got sent to prison for years.

Didn't she fire warning shots at her ex husband who was literally attacking her? And got 20 years? And tried the Stand Your Ground defense and was denied?

Edit: YEP

He clearly wasn't trying to injure anyone, just really f up the trucks.

Just charge him with reckless endangerment and have him pay a fine and for damage to the trucks then move on.

If this guy is a real firefighter he knows that his property line doesn't extend into the street and those trucks were allowed to be there.

Are you f;ing kididng me?

The guy is legit crazy and a danger to people.

He needs to face serious charges, he needs to be going to anger management, he needs to have any and all weapons confiscated and be prevented from ever owining a gun.
