Although it may not seem intuitive, depending on the type and how it is used, a baton can be even more lethal than some guns. Just imagine someone bludgeoned to pieces with an iron pipe designed to maximize devastation. Not pretty.

While I am not usually the one to suggest tolerance (as the folks who dumped on me for suggesting low IQ on the part of a certain car driver on the multimodal path), I would like to point out something important.
One of the things which happens in Alzheimer's (and some other dementias) is the folks often retreat from rational to lizard (primitive) brain. They become much more easily angered and much more likely to physically strike out. And in this wonderful paradise of ours lurk a lot of folks who either have or will have dementia. Had an interesting chat summer of 2012 with a psychiatrist who treated patients in nursing homes. He related seeing a growing number of veterans (usually WWII or Korea) who developed dementia and reacted violently to various triggers (like loud noises). Hopefully all of us fine folks on TOTV won't be cursed with acting out when we lose our marbles. Last edited by Bizdoc; 10-25-2013 at 07:15 PM. Reason: correct year |

Bizdoc: I hear what you are saying as long as the person is still held responsible for their acts of violence. "it's not my fault because ....... Doesn't "cut it" in my world.

Some with dementia have a total personality change. The meek become arrogant and argumentative.........while the former naturally assertive types might now become meek and docile. One never knows. Often there is a distinct and noticeable personality change. Great patience and tolerance is necessary to deal with this. Not condoning his "acting out" and injuring others, their vehicle, etc. But irrational behavior like that is NOT normal. Belligerence and picking on family members is NOT normal. Striking out at perfect strangers is totally NOT normal. Also, maybe he was coming off of some drug? Even nicotine reduction might cause erratic behavior. Sad, but true, that our society nowadays has so many on every type of psychotropic drug out there, plus prescription meds that often have strange side effects......even in normal folks. |

Good question! Don't know for sure, but the fact that it was capable of breaking out car windows suggests that it was something more potent than a twirlers' baton.

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.

He obviously did something wrong because he was arrested. I can't imagine how scared the people were in the car that he attacked. He is already guilty. It's just a matter of how much time he spends behind bars. If I were the victim, I would certainly press charges. There's no excuse for this type of behavior. And yes, let the justice system do its job.
