#Guns #Shooting #Florida
Let’s see. No prosecution for ANYTHING is happening everywhere in major cities. Chicago was just looted by thousands of black teens. BLM. They put people on edge. I mean the same thing happened to a 6 year old who’s ball went into a black man’s yard.
This is what 2020 brought. And this is what you wanted.
F these White Shooters thinking they can shoot for NO reason bunch of Trigger Happy Racist WHITE Supremacist!
All these random shootings are being reported now because the media wants to ban Guns & it’s a Bigger agenda to make it seem like nobody should have guns cause of bad ppl like this who are irresponsible
lol they were just waiting for the oppurtunity to dish their pain on strangers. yeah your country is being laughed at pretty hard arpund the world
Food delivery drivers in Florida (or any stand your ground state) are pretty much fair game. If you read the law people have the right to shoot people on their property under almost any condition by only having to say they were scared. Who’s going to tell them they weren’t? The way the law is written I would refuse to step on anyone’s property if I was a delivery person of any kind. And I would wear a bullet proof vest. Standing on an old man’s lawn in Florida will get you shot. “Justifiably”.
Fearful Man: tells TWELVE YEAR OLD BOY to tell STRANGER to get off his property.
Also Fearful Man: Proceeds to shoot the tires so they can’t leave.
It’s the reason i don’t like nor trust Caucasians; are blood thirsty devilish ppl whom always preyed on earth’s natives, inherently hates God.
Correct decision. You still have the right to protect yourself and your property no matter what some may think about this particular situation. Double checking the correct address prior to accessing someone’s property might be a good idea next time. 🤷♀️
Mhm, i hope you marry a sissy so weak that hee sends his child to the danger.
Florida sucks
An armed father sends his 12yrld boy to tell black trespassers to leave? Lol 😂
My father wouldn’t have handled it that way. Some dumb crap out there..
Sends a child out… thsts so believable
THANK GOD I LIVE IN CANADA
So many paranoid gun crazy Americans these days.
Yet us crazy arabs live in neighborhoods where everyone leaves their house gate cracked because its so safe and we very peaceful people.
Knock on an American’s front door.. get shot, shouted at, or argued with at least. And treated like some alien from mars about to snatch their kids.
Knock on a random arabs front door.. “Oh who are you?, you look hungry, please come inside for lunch and tea, i dont have to know you to welcome you!”.
Yall got problems fr man. What happen to the good old classic 1970’s Americans? Everyone today so trashy and rude.
Lol a racist thing….. The old man who shot that kid at his door trying to open it is clearly justified and in the right…. Notice the news about it died down quickly??? Because the old man luckily has a camera pointed at his door……. What about the little white girl shot in the face and her dad shot because the little girls ball rolled in dudes yard?????? Oh we don’t want to talk about that because the racist shooter was black….
Here we go again with they shot at us and I know it was racism that caused it
Unbelievable. I guess the next time they be shooting the pizza delivery person or Uber eats.
Keep showing how foolish you are, they will just use it to take your guns and then what will you do?
They never said where this was in Florida.
Cbs miami has the story.
So not only is our elementary classrooms slaughter rooms, but residential neighborhoods, shopping malls, college campuses, Fourth of July parades, music festivals churches.
What a beautiful vision that these so-called “moral majority”, that hide behind the Bible the flag and children, creating a country of fear and violence.
What everyone looks at each other as suspicion and threat and chooses to shoot first and then let God sort them out.
Don’t you feel so safe that every “responsible gun owner” has a gun? What a beautiful vision that the NRA and the gun manufacturers have for all of America.
I call bs this story doesn’t even make sense I will bet it’s a plant story a made up lie the left is great at making up stories I am just surprised they aren’t blaming Trump. They are trying to take our guns though
Oh my god. You people are so short sighted you can’t even see past your own dumb logic! republicans are fear mongering the country with books and abortions. Why is it that all throughout high school, learning about racism was fine, but now all of a sudden they’re indoctrinating our children????
Was the brave American who sent his 12 year old child to deal with this terrible threat of mis-delivered groceries a cop? Just asking questions.
he rayciss bixnood 😢 i jus wanna steal his stuff
This is just crazy. It’s totally wrong. Zero excuse for this kinda b.s.
Imagine the day when we could legally shoot anyone for any reasons!
People really need to calm TF down.
I wonder if anyone is tracking these kinds of “false alarm” shootings?
I dont think it falls under the category of an accident, the shooting happened intentionally. Id be willing to bet, these false alarm shootings, or even a false alarm with someone drawing/pointing a firearm, they probably happen a lot.
We live in a deeply fearful country. A certain political party is constantly obsessed with how dangerous normal life is…
Fodder for 2nd amendment nuts
Florida is the worst place to live especially when the devil is the governor desatan, I mean desantis
Hey y’all forgot the black guy that shoit the 6 year old getting her ball ot of his yard but hey you have a narrative
Lesson learned: Do not trespass.
All these stories are incredibly similar and haven’t been on the news before. What’s the push?
Ah America! Land of the gun. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
well there was a lot more to the last story like this so let’s wait for the facts again before getting all silly
such a stupid country.
The perception of being black 😆
Why are multiple teens in car car for a food delivery? And of course he would use the racist card
Angry scared people with guns are everywhere and they’re waiting for a reason to shoot someone. Expect more of this unacceptable behavior.
Psy op
And that’s why I don’t do Uber, door, dash, or Lyft.
I think it’s time that u.s should not allow owning of guns to common citizens in order to avoid killing due to guns which has occured so often in recent times.
Bunch of scared punks.
A lot of fearful, paranoid people with gun backed by a law ready to shoot any one they don’t like..This would never happen even in war torn countries.
Look at that entry gate. That’s the starter pack of a homeowner who posts signs on his property that reads, ” Trespassers will be shot.”
Wow why he block them, and the police went for that one!
Remember Florida gig workers: It’s legal to murder you, so stay strapped, and fire back.
No charges for sending a twelve-year-old out to handle possible adult problems. Will this child negligence for one. And attempted murder for shooting at them
Has everyone in this country really gone crazy at the same time, or is there another side to some of these incidents that we’re not hearing about?
Like, are some of these “accidentally went to the wrong house” incidents actually “decided to go to the wrong house” incidents?
I’m not saying they are, just saying it’s really weird that so many people’s first reaction to an innocent mistake is to shoot first.
🙄 lies
Ofc no charges in Florida that is fighting thr happiest place on earth 🤦😅
I’m an avid supporter of the Second Amendment, but this is insane. You do not shoot at people for frivolous reasons. This homeowner was looking for trouble, and I’m going to go far as to say this was possibly racially motivated.. Their was no justification for this shooting; none!! People go to wrong addresses all the time. If you are that scared, bury yourself in the basement, and you have no business owning a gun.
When I did air conditioning service and pulled up to a customer’s house and knocked on the door, I always stood to the side, never in front of the door, just in case.
Our country is lost! And I fear we will never be found.
Shooting over groceries? God..how insane the US is now..ashamed to be American lately..our country is a sick joke now .
Hey Democrats stop normalizing violence you f ing idiots
No story about gang bangers shooting each other. Why they won’t report on this?
Well, just in time for campaigning: how many people will be shot for knocking doors now?
Paranoia is the far rights’ sweet spot when it comes tooter suppression.
No little boy bullies with big guns will ever keep from the polls! And because of them I will vote a straight Democratic ballot!
America has a gun problem
The MAGA guns are out of control. Time to end their terrorizing of Americans. The 2nd Amendment must be repealed and replaced. End Stand your ground laws that cause this horror.
What are we becoming
This is the media’s fault for perpetuating divisiveness. It’s time these “news” organizations pay for what they’ve done.
Awwww young thug thinks he was being racially profiled. Sounds like the homeowner had no idea of skin color. Why does the news always play up that every white man is racist?
No 1 got gps just pull up at a random address
Baca Baca!!
Stay out of white man’s neighborhoods it’s just that simple.
if you’re scared then go in the house and lock the door.
Get it together, America! This is not acceptable!
Why are wyte men scared of everything and everybody now?
NON-American:This country is crazy. You mindset is GUNS before anything else, GUNS, GUNS, GUNS. What next baby guns?🤦🏿
It’s legal to shoot at black people if you feel like it in Florida.
Time to setup GoFundMe account to fund the project for mental health treatment for white people in this country.
Their fear of black men and women is an absolute tragedy. As long as this fear exist, and it will exist, there will be thousands of these racial shootings and killings.
Anyone who shoots at innocent people when his life is not in danger, she should lose their right to own a gun.
Hate Crime that benefits from MAGA gun strategy.
No more pizza deliveries to that house. I would tell the UPS man to stop if he fears for his life.
Homeowner is within their rights to shoot first and ask questions second. You don’t need to wait for a formal declaration of intent by someone you don’t know lol
Most criminals don’t give you a formal declaration of intent, and criminals come in all shapes sizes colors and quality of upkeep. We have rights to protect you from becoming the victim.
Maybe these Black kids should have considered the world their liberal friends have engineered for them socially, before walking around knocking on random doors in the US.
Who were in the car? Criminals. Shoot, reload and repeat. Too bad they didn’t buy the farm
Thomas belongs in a cell. 6×8. Hed feel right at home
It’s only racist old white people killing kids facts they are republicans voters.
Wow no chargers are filed wow if ur black and live in Florida or Texas get out asap before there state kills ur Kids
Davie police and prosecutors could let a grand jury decide. That’s their purpose.
LOL!!!! The Red Necks running Florida make no sense!!!
How did the rest of the nation allow for deadly Force to be justified by Delusion? 1:40
PERCEPTION IS NO WHERE NEAR ENOUGH JUSTIFICATION FOR DEADLY FORCE!
How the F uck did that get past anyone who is dominated by Logic?
This is what happens when everyone thinks they’re John Wayne
Will stand-your-ground shootings become new casual normal America in the future of MAGA?
Let me guess….white guy with a gun that just watched the Tucker Carlson show?
I don’t understand. why would you send your 12-year-old son to the car ordering them to leave if they were such a huge threat that you had to shoot at the car?? shows you how much he cares for his sons well-being
🎉das right 💩DAS RIGHT… DO UNTO OTHERS AS💩 OTHERS DO UNTO YOU….. das right💩 DAS RIGHT…. FOR DA CULTURE💩🎉
Build the wall around Floriduh before anymore of them infest the United States.
It’s reasonable to them bc he’s a cracker
Florida is where you go to get shot
This smells fishy
After they do what they do they come out crying and saying that it was racist thing ..
Southern hospitality is getting pretty aggressive
The homeowner did nothing wrong.
More guns, right DeSantis and other radical right Republicans?
So the police basically said “there were good people on both sides”????
C’mon peeps, put the guns in the safe for an extra minute.
Here in Europe the “homeowner” would be charged with attempted murder…
Huffington Post (Apr. 24, 2023 )
author Terry Spencer AP, gives best explanation. Keep in mind it was 10:00 PM at night. It was dark and the property was large (several acres)..The grocery delivery driver could not see well.
According to the police report, Thomas and Darville got lost while delivering groceries for Instacart shortly before 10 p.m. They were on the phone with their customer when Thomas turned their 2014 Honda Civic into an area where the shooter stores equipment for his excavation business. The address they were looking for is across the street.
The shooter and the couple gave investigators conflicting reports about what happened next.
The homeowner told officers he asked his 12-year-old son to tell the driver to leave but soon heard the boy yelling for help. The father said he saw the car driving erratically, banging into logs and boulders, and so he told his son to run.
He said the car then drove toward him and ran over his foot. Saying he feared for his life and his son’s, the man drew his handgun and fired at the car’s tires, but it sped away. He called police.
An officer found Thomas and Darville parked nearby. When he asked what happened, they replied, “We just got shot at.” He said that Darville was crying and that Thomas appeared “extremely nervous and scared.” The officer said that there were two bullet holes in the car’s bumper and that one tire was flat.

Now imagine if races were reversed. Ronnie would send the national guard to that house.
Florida is an embarrassment. Soon it’ll be under water!
Its embarassing to read your copy paste comments…
Go to a local city and see how life is kid…
