[QUOTE=rubicon;768347]I am surprised that people who live in TV are surprised that criminal activity occurs here. I mean some folks may believe they live in a bubble but they may consider that the DOME may be a fun show on TV but is feasible.

About the "BUBBLE"...
When I drove around with The Villages Sales people they almost laughed at me when I asked if the home I was considering had an alarm system!
Then they said, "you don't really need one here, most people don't install them in their homes!......?????

Seems to me that a lot of people are commenting about this guy and they don't even know the full story.

Is there something else we need to know? Some guy was impatient waiting behind someone to pull in the circle and got out of his car and started a fight and broke some one's windshield and punched some woman who was 68.

Could it be he was an alien from Mars and didn't know the traffic rules?

Could it be that he carried a baton because he was a drum major?

It could be that he had impulse control issues, but that isn't a reason to overlook what he did.

What is it that we are missing?

I have known almost a dozen people with dementia in my life and no one hurt anyone. It is possible, but would his family allow him to drive?

It looks pretty much like he was a jerk to me.

If he was 63, then his mother cannot be 68. Also, what burglary took place? I know the charge was said to include burglary, but what was stolen? I don't think the facts were presented correctly or very well in the paper. rewrite!

The 68 year old woman was the mother of the driver of the car that was attacked. The attacker was 63.

Burglary means illegal entry with intent to commit a felony. Nothing has to be stolen.

The French word baton is generally translated into English as stick.

Thus, the Louisiana capital of Baton Rouge is translated Red Stick.

Why Red Stick? The European-American history of Baton Rouge dates from 1699, when French explorer Sieur d'Iberville leading an exploration party up the Mississippi River saw a reddish cypress pole festooned with bloody animals that marked the boundary between the Houma and Bayou Goula tribal hunting grounds. They called the pole and its location le bâton rouge, or the red stick.

I love trivia.

Let's just hope if he's still at home in December that he likes Christmas! It looks to me like he lives one street away from Dunkirk where the "musical Christmas houses" are on display!
