"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.

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....

I don't understand what you just said. Would you mind rephrasing it?

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)
