If there is any lesson to be learned here its to do ones best to be prepared to use deadly force to protect yourself if/as required. In hindsight, after the first assault he should have been thrown a lifejacket and left adrift for the Lake Patrol to come around and charge him with assault.

Pushed back in by the woman he was rescued with for bizarre behavior, then started acting bizarre again and threatening his rescuers plus the woman he was rescued with . . .

Probably not worth wasting a life jacket on . . .

Maybe he felt disrespected having to be rescued by some cracker in front of his woman.
The sight of his floating chariot doing 360’s out there in the water probably didn’t help.

I’m a news junky i can’t help it...

From what I have read, it sounds like the guy deserved to get shot.

What an idiot. Now he is a dead idiot.

He was a "cracker."

Someone posted his picture the other day. Young and stupid.
