Florida Shooters Network

Damn, talk about being stupid when given a BIG out by the cops to walk away without any charges in a viral news case like this. Too much ego, lol. Now he'll lose his gun along with the CWP too as a felon.

Now, we can draw conclusions.

Years ago, a friend worked at a Haji Mart around the block from where the Ft. Lauderdale SS store now sits. A $cumbag robbed the store, & my friend unloaded his Glock 21 at the getaway car. The cops came, & in the end took his gun, & gave him a ticket for shooting at the getaway car. Months later, he went to court, & the deal he agreed to was if he gave up all claims to his Glock 21, all charges would be dropped, & the case dismissed. The next day he bought a new Glock 21, & kept his CWP until he passed away. GARY

That's what I'd call a smart deal on his part (yeah, he shouldn't have shot at the "fleeing" car). Have a "give-away." Also a good reason not to have a fancy gun, which you'll never see again. Reliable, yes, fancy, no.

So the charges have been dropped.

Turns out they looked at a different camera video, & the other guy was poking him with the pointy end of his umbrella, so he legally stood his ground, & wont be prosecuted. But how much did his lawyer cost? I’ll probably see his Dad this weekend. GARY.

An umbrella isn't a deadly weapon unless it was a sword or modified/sharpened to stab. If the guy was poking him in the chest, that wasn't placing him in "fear of imminent death or great bodily injury". Had the guy raised the umbrella like Excalibur, that's another story. That didn't happen.

This loser should go buy a lottery ticket, because he's lucky...

Sure we will see him in the news again years from now.

Seriously? Stand in front of me and let me jab you in the chest/gut/neck with the 2" metal tip on my $10 Ho' Depot umbrella and let's see if I can't make you leak inside and out. A good jab to the gut could easily rupture something, and you might get an eye put out.

...Estrada pointed his umbrella at Scavetta again, appearing to get close to Scavetta’s face with the tip of the umbrella, the video shows.

Well...please let me know where/when you'll be whenever it rains so I can avoid getting shot.
