TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) - An argument on Facebook over politics led to the shooting of a man in Tampa on Monday.
According to police, Alex Stephens, 46, and Brian Sebring, 44, became involved in an argument over politics on the social media platform.
After receiving several explicit messages and threats, Sebring went to Stephens home to confront him.
Sebring, anticipating the confrontation would escalate, brought his Glock semi-automatic pistol.
When he arrived to Stephens home, Sebring honked his horn and waited by his truck for the victim to leave his home.
Stephens left the home and immediately sprinted towards Sebring, who drew his pistol and fired two shots at Stephens, striking him in the right thigh and buttocks.

Sounds more like testosterone poisoning!
As Forrest Gump would say, “but-tocks”.
Here is the answer most are looking for:
The nature of the political dispute on Facebook was not described in detail, and it is not apparent from public views of the mens home pages.
Sebring is a registered Democrat who follows Barack Obama on Twitter.
Voting records do not show a registration for Stephens, who is a felon, according to Department of Corrections records.
The stories out of FL just get weirder and weirder. Maybe its the heat.
If you ask me....one or more of these gentlemen....had a drug dependency issue.
Sebring was booked into the Hillsborough County jail, his bail set at $9,500.
Jail records state that he is a delivery driver for a pizza company. His Twitter account describes him as a married father of two. Like Stephens, he went to Tampas Robinson High School.
It didnt take long before a critic weighed in on Facebook.
Mike Williams, one of Sebrings Facebook friends, posted Tuesday on Sebrings page, accusing him of throwing away everything for something dumb. Williams elaborated on his own page.
“Throw your whole life away including your kids because you cant handle s-— on Facebook. SAD SAD SAD,” he wrote, before making a derisive comment about “snowflakes.”
More of the fruits of Saul Alinsky’s work.
It is simply impossible to have a respectful, rational debate with a Liberal anymore.

Look at the guy’s face. Dull....dumb.
The rules and the laws are very different outside your own property.
Never confront a person at their home. Even a mean dog knows it is dangerous to start a fight outside his own yard.

Okay, what was it about?.......................
“It is simply impossible to have a respectful, rational debate with a Liberal anymore.”
When was it ever possible? I can’t remember such a time.

Dem shooting Dem.... some would say that is a win/win....
That’s the norm in Chicago.
