[Gene Eric]

For many years, Ruel dreamed of being a “Florida Man”.

[InvisibleChurch]

I notice recently that criminals are often showed sitting in a barbers chair.

[Born in 1950]

Used to be no one would hit a girl, a person with glasses or an old coot. It was inviolate code across society. It’s true.

No kidding, I was looking forward to that thin silver lining to the dark cloud of age. But no.

[plain talk]

Ruel can be cruel. Mental problems - perhaps substance abuse.

[sport]

Ruel needs someone to bust a cap on him.

[max americana]

good thing I’ve never been to a barbershop in 20 years..

[LibertyWoman]

punishment should be: give the 76 year old a ball bat and use the perps head as a baseball, then jail.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Mental problems - perhaps substance abuse.”

Our maybe just a spoiled asshole with no coping skills. I’m guessing that.

[Born in 1950]

I think you can shoot them if they do that.

[Deaf Smith]

>>sitting in a barbers chair

That was to not taint their arrest pic for jurors…clothing and body tats.

Reasons not to live in Florida:

Bugs
Humidity
Hurricanes
Alligators
Lizards falling out of trees

And certainly not least:

Florida Man
Florida Woman

The current Governor is about the only good reason I can think of...

[ought-six]

“I think you can shoot them if they do that.”

I think in Florida you can.

[neverevergiveup]

If you were born in 1950 you are probably still able to kick a** when required.

[Chode]

[Secret Agent Man]

It used to be girls and wimmin didnt attack anyone.

That was decades ago. They are worse than the men now.

I mean just about any fast food debacle is a woman shooting at a worker, or jumping the counter, or a gang of them pounding on a lone female worker.

[fidelis]

That’d be my guess too. He even looks like a jerk.

[Allegra]

Or maybe just a spoiled asshole with no coping skills. I’m guessing that.

He’s in the age group where that is common, that’s for sure.

[Olog-hai]

Ruel, imperial aerosol kid…

You say I must be crazy
’Cause I don’t care who I hit, who I hit
But I know that it’s me that’s hittin’ out
And I’m—I’m not full of s—
I don’t care who I hurt; I don’t care who I do wrong
This is your mess I’m stuck in; I really don’t belong…

[sport]

What he did may be a first degree felony in Florida. Worth 20 years.
