Kyle Tate is charged with grand theft and criminal mischief...

A Palm Bay, Florida Homeowners Association board member was arrested last month after allegedly pulling a gun on three kids fishing at a lake in his subdivision, taking their equipment and throwing the rods, reels and tackle into the woods..

Police charged 57-year-old Kyle Patrick Tate with criminal mischief and grand theft as a result of the incident.

A court affidavit filed in Brevard County, Florida alleges that on April 14, officers with the Palm Bay Police Department were dispatched to a suspicious incident at Stillwater Lakes, a subdivision owned and managed by an HOA.

FOX 35 in Orlando confirmed Tate is the president of the community’s HOA.

...

The responding officers spoke with three kids who were fishing on the south side of the lake in Stillwater Lakes, who said a man, later identified as Tate, walked up to them while holding a firearm and telling them to get off his property.

But the property belonged to the HOA, not Tate, according to police.

Still, Tate grabbed their fishing rods, reels, tackle boxes and other equipment, before throwing the equipment into the woods and damaging them.

...

The kids told police they estimated the fishing rods and reels to be valued at $1,900; the tackle boxes and lures inside to be valued at $150; and cast nets to be valued at $150.

Tate also allegedly took a phone valued at around $1,500 from one of the kids, which has not yet been recovered,

And I never said the guy was right in what he did, I’ve consistently argued and rules and property rights, perhaps you didn’t read the multiple post where I stated that. Talking about the need to read slowly, projection is your name.

No, you considered an adult pulling a gun on young people who were fishing to be, "Stupid". Stupid is the understatement of the year and certainly the wrong description in this case.

Pulling a gun on someone can get your ass killed and thrown in prison for life. This dangerous assh*le needs a serious mental evaluation.

Learn the difference between someone being simply 'stupid', and a dangerous psychopath who pulls on gun on kids for fishing. It's not stupidity, it's insane!

What I find interesting is this violent lunatic is the HOA president. He’s a controlling nut job....lol

In addition, you yapping about property rights is pretty much irrelevant and moot regarding this story, since the story is about about violent mental case pulling a gun on kids for fishing. Walking timebombs, people like this lunatic, shouldn’t be ANYWHERE near a gun. That’s the story!

That was by design, Bob. The Republican Party wanted Trump out worse than the Democrats. If Trump had been left in, this shit going on in Ukraine would not be happening. And the Republicans would be missing out on all the graft and blood money from the Ukraine Money Laundering Operation. Trump hit them hard in the pocket book. By hook or by crook, they [the Republicans] are going to keep him out of the White House.

A mite excessive

But around aged 12 we were skinny dipping in a pond on a small cattle farm outside my suburban neighborhood

The owner snuck up and fired his 38 over our heads and took our clothes on the bank

He walked up the hill a few hundred yards

Looked back and yelled and fired again and dropped our clothes and walked back to his house a quarter mile away

1969 you could do that then lol

“It still does not bring the child back to life.”

Young death is always sad, and people shake their heads for multiple years over the why and what if. Compounding an unfortunate and tragic accident by making somebody completely innocent of the situation lose everything is wrong. Especially in cases of trespass.

And what was the source of the disagreement, a person fishing in a neighborhood which led to a discussion about HOAs and property rights and rules of a neighborhood, the guy was an idiot for pulling a gun but the other question was his decision to stop a person from fishing

Following the discussion is a quality that evades many people on FR who can’t process more than one thing at a time, in-depth discussion evades them

Did you miss the part where he had no property rights here, as the property and the lake was not his.

Btw, his "Property rights" as you call it resulted in this mental case being charged with multiple felonies. How'd that work out for him?☺

HOAs are filled with nannies, wannabe cops, control freaks etc.

Did you miss the part of where, if he’s a due paying owner in that neighborhood, he is part of the HOA.

One thing we don’t know for sure is if he neighborhood HOA has rule against fishing, which in Florida they likely do, I used my Florida Neighborhood as an example, we have signs in the community lake prohibiting fishing perhaps you missed that as well, not just myself, but everyone in the neighborhood has the right to tell someone fishing to stop, if for no other reason than liability issues.

As I’ve stated the gun part was stupid and likely criminal. You can’t seem to separate legitimate property rights issues and HOA rules from the fact the guy was an idiot.

And that means zip zero. Did you miss the part where this mental case was hauled off to jail and charged with multiple felonies? ☺

Being a dues paying owner in a HOA absolutely gives you the right to tell people to stop what they are doing if they are violating the rules. The owners are the HOA, if you are an owner you are part of that.

Please read my responses, nearly every time I’ve said the guy was crazy, stupid or wrong for pulling the gun.

Like I said you seem incapable of discussing property rights and HOA rules as a wider discussion of this issue.

And they have the right to tell you to eff off. All you can do is call the cops like anyone else. His HOA status didn't mean jack s**t here.

And that's not what happened anyway, is it? You keep bringing up something that never happened. This guy threated young kids with a gun and now he's charged with multiple felonies. His HOA rights have zip zero to do with this story.

Try to keep up with the story at hand.
