|u/UsaiyanBolt - 1 month
|
|Yeah, and the dude is from New Jersey apparently, and the
|article really makes it seem like he chose to open his store

|property” first, but unfortunately for him, it seems like the
|locals and police even aren’t willing to put up with his
|bullshit. Good for them.

|I think the key piece of information is he’s autistic. He has it in
|his head that if he tells someone to leave his store, he can then
|proceed to beat the shit out of them if they don’t immediately
|comply. In the case of the woman he beat up on video, she had been
|kicked out of the bar next door for fighting and had recently been
|convicted of resisting arrest and felony assault of an officer. So I
|think a drunk chick who thought she could do anything she wants ran
|into an autistic asshole with the same attitude and that was the
|result. Sometimes shitty people deserve each other.

|I think what they’re trying to say is that a blackout drunk

|maniac with autism and the interaction clearly did not go well.
|This doesn’t really fall into any social or gender politics
|categories. It’s not like a man abusing a partner, it’s more
|like a crazy people truck stop or Bourbon St. interaction
|u/-random-name- - 1 month
|
|You are correct. My point was they both appear to be raging
|assholes who think they can do whatever they want to whomever
|they want in life. And when two people like that collide,
|you're likely to have a fight. That should have been pretty
|clear. But then you have assholes like the one you replied to
|who would rather twist someone's words to make them look bad
|than have an honest discussion. There are a lot of shitty
|people in the world. Not surprising to find them on Reddit.
|u/-random-name- - 1 month
|
|I don't think politics has anything to do with it, but you sound
|like an idiot all the same. He claims she tried to force her way
|into his store when it was closed. Then was biting and kicking
|him when he tried to escort her out. If true, that's a very
|different situation than him randomly beating some girl up.
|u/Dragonheart91 - 1 month
|
|I just read the article and it sounds like he steadily escalates.
|Like one of the cases was: 1. Tell person to leave for 20 minutes
|2. Physical push them 3. When they resist and start mildly
|damaging the shop he gets violent with them 4. He then tazes them
|and drags them out by the throat Was he in the right? No lol. But
|there are lots of points where a reasonable person could walk out
|of his store. There are also lots of points where a reasonable
|non-insane store owner could call the cops.
|u/-random-name- - 1 month
|
|That's my takeaway too. He seems to look for situations to
|escalate into violent confrontations. He knows he can get away
|with a lot being the property owner and pushes it as far as he
|can. The law says he can use reasonable force to remove
|someone from his property if they refuse to leave. Looks like he
|has a history of going past what most people considered
|reasonable.

|Yeah I've lived in St Pete for 5 years. There is a TON of places to

|It’s also a smoke shop in the south. Florida back in like 2016 tried
|to outlaw pipes. They have medical but only for the rich white folks
|because no other medical state has crack vs coke laws with its weed
|laws. Meaning if you have the money you can get a med card and
|freely buy a THC cart in a dispensary. But if you don’t have the money
|for the med card that same THC cart is a felony with 1-3 years in
|prison. Now watch all the privileged Florida folks whine about how
|it’s not that bad because they aren’t the ones on the other side of
|the law having wax/concentrate be labeled a felony. While you all can
|freely buy it. It’s modern day coke vs crack laws to keep big prison

|I think it’s state dependent, but “emotional support animals” are
|not legally Service Animals. There is also no legal documentation
|for emotional support animals in general. Most businesses oblige

|u/xxSuperBeaverxx - 1 month

|The sign says "only seeing eye dogs". That *is* banning legally
|protected *service animals*. There's no such thing as an emotional
|support animal outside of housing laws. You have no legally
|protected right to bring an emotional support animal into a
|private business, however a *service animal* can never be
|disallowed entry to a business. If you only allow seeing eye
|dogs, you're banning service animals like the one my sister has,
|which can detect her narcolepsy symptoms before she can. This sign
|would be directly violating the laws which protect her right to
|bring her *service animal* with her.

|Under ada, if it’s not clear what type of service animal it is

|This feels like the final stage of some dudes war on tourism. Started

|people what they needed and when they needed it. Then, tourism season
|#1 came, and Ted realized the world was much more complex than his
|little beach town. After hundreds of Ken's and Karen's of all shapes and
|sizes, Ted embraces the intrusive thoughts and decides, "if you don't
|like it, I probably don't like you. So buy some goodies, or get the hell
|out"... Perhaps one day another young, free stoner will swing through
|and remind Ted of the kinder days, but until then, the aisles will get
|smaller, the lights will get brighter and blinkier, and the signs will
|loose all passive in their agression.
