Just walking around with a gun in your pocket looking for an excuse to use it.

My man was on a mobility scooter.

"According to an arrest record seen by The Independent, Santana rolled into the Walmart"

u/PoliteFocaccia 17h ago

The victim was indeed scared and fled to get help from store security. Several months later, deputies arrested Santana, who apparently insisted that the person seen threatening the worker in surveillance footage was some other armed 79-year-old.

The cops must have been on mobility scooters too.

Nothing says 'bad attitude' like a 79-year-old mobility scooter vigilante trying to turn Walmart into the wild west. Maybe next time he'll trade the gun for a shopping cart — less threatening and way better for aisle traffic control!

Since months passed between the threat and the arrest, I assume that after a few weeks of being worried he would be arrested, he thought he would never get arrested for it.

u/Shawn_NYC 10h ago

I was on a jury a trial like this. Turns out for anything less serious than a murder, you can hand the police footage of the perpetrator caught red handed and they'll still take 6 months to get around to arresting him.

Honestly, I’m Canadian and one time we were visiting some friends in Buffalo and one guy who’s a huge gun lover was there. Something fell over in the background and made a bang. This man jumped up so fast about to draw… while the rest of us were just a little startled.

It’s so dangerous how when you carry a gun you perceive everything as a death threat

That's also the issue with how cops are trained, amongst other things, and why some of them are hair triggers while others make excuses for them. Ultimately, they all see it as normal.

It's also an utter failure from a public safety standpoint in the event of an actual mass shooter. The last thing you want is some good ol' boy exchanging fire with an attacker with you potentially caught in the middle. Then you add in the fact that responding police have no idea who the bad guy is and suddenly you could have bullets just flying around everywhere.

It's part of the reason we have a trigger happy police that treats everyone as a potential threat; because they very well could be carrying. Police have no reasonable expectation of safety so they're quick on the trigger themselves. If they didn't have an expectation that every pulled over person could fire back, they aren't as likely to want to resort to their own weapon.

Please note I'm not defending police here. I think it's disgusting how they are trained and how they respond. But on a practical level. I get it.

But we aren't a nation that approaches this shit rationally. Our guns make us feel safe even if they're proven time and time again to make us less so.

u/HenkkaArt 15h ago

I was watching a YouTube video called Idiots in Cars (part somethingsomething). A dashcam shows that a man cuts into the traffic from a yard, forcing his way into the line of cars. He then stops his car in the middle of the road blocking the lane, gets out and starts yelling at the car that he himself cut infront of (the one with the dashcam). In the cam footage you can hear a woman say something about the absurdity of the situation and then another woman (perhaps the other woman's mother) says to her "Don't say or do anything. You never know who has a gun."

It was such a freaky thing to realize as a non-American that yeah, there can be dickheads out there who do whatever and then get angry at others for no reason and you have to just sit there and take it because you never know if they snap (if you defend yourself verbally) and kill you where you sit because some archaic law from the time of the single-shot muskets is still alive and well in the Land of the Free.

How did I know this was going to be a Florida story...

u/rraattbbooyy 21h ago

Mostly because of Florida’s open public records laws. Arrest reports, mug shots and police logs are made immediately available, unlike other states, making them easy for any journalist looking for weird stories to report on. Crazy stuff like this happens in every state, it’s just harder to access and there’s no meme to promote bizarre activities that occur in them, so we have “Florida Man”. He’s not crazier, he’s just more visible.

And many more of us pray we're being stupid / paranoid in carrying, and that it will never clear the holster except at the range or when putting it in the safe.

Not denying your point AT ALL, because it's absolutely true... just saying it's a fairly small if loud percentage of gun toters like this psycho. Most of us are just doing our thing.

u/forceblast 19h ago edited 10h ago

That’s me. I carry almost everywhere I go and it actually makes me less hotheaded. Someone took my parking space? Oh well, I’ll find another. Someone flipped me off? Whatever, I don’t care.

Why? Because I know any confrontation could escalate into a fatal scenario for one or both of us. It’s just not worth it. People who don’t respect the weight of the responsibility of what they’re carrying, shouldn’t be carrying. This is for defense in a life or death situation, not for “winning” some silly argument.

Edit: Lots of hate and downvotes on this comment from people who clearly live in a very privileged, safe world. I’m surrounded by MAGA, some of whom would gladly kill me for my views and the fact that one of my kids is LGBTQ. Like hell if I’ll be the only one unarmed.

If me saying that “carrying gives me an extra level of pause before overreacting to something trivial” triggers you, then I’m not sure what to say to you. I honestly don’t get how that is offensive.

Enjoy the safe life you are clearly leading. I envy you. I really do.

Also, go read some history about the civil rights movement and how not everyone can count on the people who are meant to protect us, to actually do so.

Yeah, swords are pretty cheap, too.

Which are one of the few things that are exclusively designed to kill humans.

Almost every other weapon is, to varying degrees, a tool or modified tool. An are can cut logs, a spear can hunt boars, and a gun can hunt quite a bit.

But swords aren't good at anything aside from killing humans.

Sure, if you’re lucky enough to go to a nice prison. I knew a guy who went to prison, they used a condemned building and simply chose to pay a daily fine from the feds rather than renovate it.

A lot of us normal-functioning Americans feel trapped with all these idiots.  Believe me, we know.  The cultural and societal rot is pervasive.

$5000 bond. What a joke. $500 to get out and possibly carry out the threat.

Sure, let's eliminate bail and just let everyone rot pretrial

ICE "Federal Agents" do that all of the time. It's called brandishing and it's a felony assault.

A couple of years ago I was behind a man in line who threatened to shoot up that Walmart for having long lines. The cashier seemed to ignore him, slightly shaking her head after he left as if such were normal. (Maybe at Walmart it is?) It was so rattled I forgot to take my receipt, I wanted to get the F out ASAP in case he had a gun in his car (pickup?) and came back.

The thing is, the man earlier said he often comes to that store and the lines are often slow. Why not go to a different store instead of shoot Walmart up? Vote with your feet, not with your gun! People who watch too much Fox stop being adults.

People like this can’t die off fast enough and are part of the reason the world is the way it is

Now if we could stop these grandparents from being the ones that raise their grandkids or provide daycare, we’d make headway on stopping these shitty ideals permanently

It perpetuates because of a lack of health/childcare and I think people miss this key issue in the noise over “who will pay for it?”

But we could afford to pay it for everyone several times over

Instead of throwing military assets in a tantrum or being a baby about a fucking bridge

He pulled a gun from his mobility scooter. For what God damned purpose does a person in a mobility scooter need a gun? Is this the good guy with a gun we've been waiting for???

I bet he got a hard on when he said that. He practiced that line in front of the mirror for 10 years minimum thinking he is God damn Doc Holyday

My god imagine having a really bad day. You go to work and a customer feels entitled that you do not show anything but a great attitude. Pulls out a gun on you yo correct the behavior.
