Peter Harbachuk, 46, told the Tampa Bay Times that he and his wife were walking their 4-year-old golden retriever, Bella, when the dog escaped from her leash. Bella darted in front of a pickup truck, forcing the vehicle to stop. After coming to a halt, a woman got out of the truck to yell at the couple. Harbachuk said that he asked the woman to get back in her truck while he tried to get his dog back on the leash. That’s when the woman got back in the pickup, and a man emerged with a gun. “Some dude hopped out and he pointed a gun toward my head,” Harbachuk recalled. “I said, ‘Hey. This doesn’t have to go down like this.’” The man then lowered his aim slightly, closed his eyes and fired a round into Harbachuk’s leg, he explained. The couple in the truck fled the scene before police and paramedics could arrive. St. Petersburg police were searching for a clean-shaven, muscular, 5-foot, 10-inch tall man between 30 and 35 years old. The woman was thought be about 5 foot, 5 inches and 20 to 25 years old. She was petite with short brown hair. The suspects may have been traveling in a dark Ford F-150 pickup truck. Harbachuk said that he doesn’t understand how the situation escalated so quickly. “This could’ve been anyone. It could’ve been my wife,” he insisted to the Tampa Bay Times. “It could have been just any person walking down the street.” Yup, you can get shot for pretty much anything these days, because that's how we roll here in Merica. Thank god you live in Seattle, where it's safe. Who said it's safe? I don't this is likely to happen here but I seriously doubt the people of Florida would say it's likely to happen there. Although there's apparently a lot of fruitcakes in the south. They're everywhere. Be careful. |

Would you mind rephrasing it? |

Yeah, and we got a great crew above the Canadian border too... lol! Seriously, three of you, and all three of you hate each other.. Great job guys! Another insane post that no one can understand except the author. Careful, or you'll get the full PsychoScotty treatment. -- I'm a *Liberal* because I knew the militant christian fundamentalist racist militaristic xenophobic corporate oligarchy wasn't going to work for me. |

If the ratio of fruitcakes to decent folk is the same in the south's general population as presented in here for those living below the Mason Dixon line.... Canada is such a crime-free peaceful place: "Furthermore, in recent years,[when?] the gap in violent crime rates between the United States and Canada has narrowed due to a precipitous drop in the violent crime rate in the U.S. For example, while the aggravated assault rate declined for most of 1990s in the U.S. and was 324 per 100,000 in 2000, the aggravated assault rate in Canada remained relatively steady throughout and was 143 per 100,000 in 2000. In other areas, the U.S. had a faster decline. For instance, whereas the murder rate in Canada declined by 36% between 1991 and 2004, the U.S. murder rate declined by 44%. [17] ***Both Saskatoon and Regina consistently have violent crime rates that would place them among the 10 most violent cities in the US***, and often individually exceed larger US centres in terms of total numbers for Aggravated Assaults and Robbery.[citation needed]" (Emphasis added) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Canada#United_States Salmonbait -- "That's not a baby kicking, dear Bride, it's just a fetus!" |
