Florida Father And Son Open Fire On Woman Mistaken For Burglar
source
They stood their ground. Welcome to Florida.
Isn’t Florida a Stand Your Ground state. Sadly that’s what they do. Some can get away with it and some can’t.
Oh the things that happen in Florida.
Love this chief…. People are idiots! Both should be locked up and father should be sentenced for life for allow his son to fire that gun ! Idiots
Gino??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
God will continue to up lift you #DROSABA for curing my boyfriend from HSV completely
Crazy stupid people with guns !
This is America.
Son we're gonna have a quality father son day at our Neighborhood gun show in Genetically deficient poke County Florida.. we're gonna buy 2 handguns out of the trunk of a car NOTE: perfectly legal!!!! Because I can't read or write To fill out a ATF gun form, and BACKROUND Check.. I'm gonna give you one of the guns, And we are now the new Neighborhood crime watch..
It never ends with Florida's Polk County… It's an endless genetically deficient county..
Guns.
When you talk tough about crime & the use of a personal weapon not everyone will know exactly what you mean. More of these will happen in Polk County unfortunately.
Stuff like this will become more common if they weaken gun laws. These guys weren't criminals just very dumb citizens
Republicans and the gun lobby will NOT allow any laws to prevent people like this from getting guns. I doubt they will serve much prison time. Short sentences for these good ol boys.
Gunfight at the OK Corral is our Republican led future.
Let the rot!
Repeal the second amendment.
If it was white on white crime I can't worry about it. Those people live to shoot their guns for any reason
Blame the governor of Florida for that he the one put the spark in the people back when he said if you come stealing . He just don't know how to be careful with his word IT WAS WAITING TO HAPPEN
Hey, ya can't be too careful these days. Too many libs running around causing trouble.
Seems like they're really paranoid. Probably involved in some bad stuff
Americans are governed by some of the dumbest politicians in the entire world. The irony here is that she's now terrified and these two morons have no way to give her relief. She can't sue! They can afford to buy guns and bullets but they complain about the price of bread and milk. They will shoot their neighbors before helping……all because of the idiotic gun laws in place by the morons who run the State. My next trip to Disney will be in Europe……states like Texas & Florida…. keep your guns and continue to blow each other away!
What a total shame 😮🤪❗️
And people wonder why I send mail back "Return To Sender, No Such Person At This Address."
This is why guns should be registered and insured and gun owners required to go through education and safety requirements every few years. Laws can be explained and owners instructed on what is and isn't allowed. This father and son acted out of fear and fear leads to stupid actions like this. 😡
Father and son probably have a failed ticktock page and was looking for something to post and say, Hey Look At Us,
Yup, sure is a good thing there were two good guys with guns there
Hmm, where are all those people who like to say that more people should be allowed to carry so that we'll all collectively feel safer…
They seem to forget that people make mistakes, sometimes horrendous ones that could potentially cost people their lives. This father and son duo wanted to live out their buddy cop fantasy on a person who they thought wronged them in some way and look what happened. Not just exponentially multiply that potential and see what happens…
Makes me wonder what they had of such great value that they reacted that way to possibly being robbed.
Uhm… trigger crazy.
Polk County Florida be Wilding out!!!
That's the issue with some people having guns. You get the kind of person who fantasizes about the hero and is super excited about the day they get to defend their home from intruders, so every time someone's at the door they get all wound up hoping that'll be the day they get to shoot someone and have it be legal. Of course, even if this had been a burglar it's not legal to shoot someone sitting in their car, but the kind of person who can't wait to use their gun usually isn't intelligent enough to understand that.
This is why untrained civilians should not own guns. The rest of the world recognises this but not Murica.
Guns guns guns
Pure Ignorance.
& this is why guns shouldn’t be so easy to obtain…. Smh
Poor woman. Throw the book at them. She must have been terrified.
OMG!!! These men are INSANE!
Those two need to find a psychiatrist at the very least. Not here to judge but they don't seem mentally stable at all to own a gun. When is America gonna start asking for a psychological evaluation in order to give a gun permit??
Stupid people with guns! For crying out loud! Lock them up, two men afraid of a woman! Ffs
I'm glad they survived! Death penalty to those terrorists shooters!!
All these states with lose gun laws are making living in the US more like the wild wild west.
