Re: Florida man didn’t like the AT&T trucks parked in front of his home. So he shot t

Cell phone video rolled as Jove, 64, calmly walked around the first truck and shot at all four tires. The sound of the air coming out of the tires followed the blast.
Jove then walked to the second bucket truck and began shooting at the front of it, reloading the gun several times. Meanwhile, one of the AT&T workers could be heard calling police to report the shooting.

“He's shooting the truck right now,” said a man who identified himself as Derrick Taylor, a technician with AT&T. “There's a guy shooting the tires and shooting the engines and everything.”
Miami, Florida
A man, Jorge Jove, 64, from Hialeah, told the AT&T workers he didn't want the trucks parked in front of his home. The workers then told Jove that they would move as soon as possible when they were finished working on the telephone poles
The video shows Jove firing bullets into both utility trucks as a worker calls 911
Police say Jove was a firefighter with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue for 34 years. He has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm and two counts of felony vandalism said Hialeah Sgt. Carl Zogby.

For some reason there's a part of me that loves this......(not that I would ever encourage or endorse this type of incivility) :)

If you really want them to move the trucks, in the end, is the best policy is to shoot the tires out?

I forsee a Stand Your Ground defense...

But seriously, if you want them to move the truck, why shoot the tires?

I thought this as well. When you're tired of them throttling your internet and you can't watch "Gunsmoke" without buffering, steps must be taken.

"Gunsmoke" was a GREAT show! Especially the original 1/2 hour episodes. Marshall Matt Dillion! No one could out draw the Marshall!

Always wondered what Bazza's real name was. I'd have never guessed Jorge.

I'll pass along your greeting to my Mom. You don't want her involved, however. She will get very attached to your pups and try to keep them.
