Don't confuse the presumption of innocence in a court of law with actually knowing that an assault occurred based upon eyewitness accounts.

And don't think that someone can be refused bail from jail just because they are potentially dangerous.

e-flyer makes a good point: "Good thing his victim wasn't carrying a gun, it could have been a very different ending for the attacker. Millions in Florida have concealed carry permits, including folks here in TV. I would think twice before confronting/attacking someone. Best to call 911 if you have a legitimate problem."

I never respond to angry drivers who yell or gesture because they might be mentally unbalanced, armed, or both. Although I might prevail in a subsequent confrontation, it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

Never pick a fight with an old guy. He knows he can't whip you so he has to shoot you.
