Shotgun against baseball bat studded with spikes.

Christmas morning.

[Dr. Sivana]

Note: this appears to be a milder entry in the ongoing saga of “Florida Man”.

[BobL]

The moral: Don’t bring a nail-studded baseball bat to a gunfight.

[rey]

OOOO! He got one of those for Christmas too?

[mylife]

was it a Louisville slugger assault bat? those are the WORST!

[CrazyIvan]

“with ...10 long metal nails sticking out from different angles ...”

In his defence, Have you ever tried to line up the nails in your bat in perfect order?

[Artemis Webb]

He should have kept the door shut and called the cops (with shotgun at the ready). Instead he opened the door and fired THREE warning shots before shooting the perp in the leg. This is just weird.

Shaler told detectives it was all a joke and he'd walked there with the bat wearing a mask to "thank" his former boss, though would not tell them what he was thanking him for.

[Chode]

no Christmas bonus???

[rrrod]

Classic FR comments! LOL

[catnipman]

“a nail-spiked baseball bat”

did he give it a name?

[Chewbarkah]

I assume Shaler was merely showing off the new nail-studded bat he received for Christmas. Must have been a b____ to wrap.

“...Shotgun against baseball bat studded with spikes. ...”

Yikes...

“...After a struggle in the doorway, Shaler swung the bat and the man fired the gun a third time next to his leg, “still not wanting to hurt (Shaler),” Scribner stated...”

The next time Shaler approached him, he shot him in the leg. Shaler said, “Ow, that hurt,” and crawled away, according to Scribner....”

He discharged the shotgun FOUR times during the course of this struggle...

“..”Ow, that hurt,” ...”

Understatement of the year.

[Rockingham]

And “Florida Man” is the one arrested.

[nuconvert]

Somehow I knew just reading the headline, that this was going to be in FL

[SheepWhisperer]

FTA...

“According to the report, Shaler had threatened the man before with homemade explosive devices.”

After that, there are no warning shots.

In reality no matter the previous threats, you pull the gun, you shoot the prep DRT. no warning shots EVER.

Shotgun against baseball bat studded with spikes.

I don't think the business owner's problems are over.

The dude with the bat is on the street, and he isn't wrapped too tight.

How about if the business guy doesn't see him coming the next time?

If your life is in danger, save it.

No warning shots, no leg shots, center mass, end it.

I hope he doesn't regret his choice.

[wildbill]

I think this business needs a reorganization of the HR department.

[BubbaBasher]

I bet he didn’t get his Christmas bonus.
