No story that contains the words "Florida Man" in the headline ever ends well. Florida Man Shot to Death After Attacking Cops at His Niece’s Wedding Reception.
I have never been at a wedding reception that turned into a drunken brawl. And there are some pretty hard-drinking people in my family.
Uncle goes to niece's wedding. Gets drunk. Pushes people. Cops are called. He knocks one cop out, and fights with second cop. A Taser is deployed to no affect. He gets shot. Click thru for the details.
A civilized society must have rules, and these rules must be enforced. When a wedding reception turns into a drunken brawl, this is not the fault of police. When the police show up to arrest the disruptive guest, interfering with the police is not going to make the situation better.
Could anything have prevented this? I don’t know. Maybe don’t invite your jailbird uncle to the wedding? Or maybe do something to keep your jailbird uncle from getting so drunk at the reception? Or here’s a completely wild idea: Teach your kids to have respect for the police.
As I said, there is more at the link. More details about the incident, but what is more interesting is the additional thoughts on society and the rule of law. It is worth your time to click that link.
This is Peak Florida; at least for today.
