"A Florida man is recovering from a gunshot wound after a motorist
became angry and pulled a gun because a loose dog forced his pickup
truck to stop.

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.

And you don't recognize the difference between an inner city struggle
between the have nots and shooting at the owner of a dog that ran in
front of a car?

It's amazing to witness the (non) recognition of fundamental
differences in circumstance. Yours is an argument I'd expect from
Snotty.

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.

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....
