Oh sure, 2 old guys on Meth.....that has to be the answer...:ohdear::ohdear::ohdear:

If there was a violent incident, the police were at the scene as stated , there should have been a ticket or arrest. I can find nothing regarding this from any news source. I believe any assault on a person over 65 in Fl is a felony.

Could it be that the one attacked didn't want to press charges?

The Villages "Toughman Contest" in the townsquares. Participants could drive their carts to the ring. All would need spectacular robes. All would need a theme, or a catchy name, like, The Wisconsin Whopper, The Minnesota Menace, The Ageless Wonder, etc. They could wear their sponsors on their robes, like, Viagra, Cialis, Preparation H, Bengay, Fiber One, Buick,Old Spice etc. All would have introductory song to the ring. Lets do this. Contact Morse immediately. Elderly pugilism at its best. Only in The Villages.

Gate receipts could go to local charity, foodshelf

Think of the popcorn sales!:popcorn:

"Lets get ready to RUMBLE!!!!!:boxing2:

I know there is a law regarding over 65 assaults.
However, if someone over 65 starts swinging at me (just under 65) do I have to stand there and take it?

I think some of the road patterns along Morse north of 466 are just plain confusing! Honestly! something should be done!

My wife and I were in the car headed north on Morse Blvd around 4:25 pm today and as we came to a stop for the red light at the intersection at Rio Grande we witnessed a shocking and sad incident. Two golf carts were traveling north on Morse and one had moved into the right turning lane and the other was in the golf cart lane going straight. We didn't notice anything unusual until we heard the screech of tires as the cart going straight slammed on his breaks to avoid striking the cart in front of him. At the same time, the cart in the turning lane suddenly stopped right next to that cart and the driver jumped out and reached into the first cart and tried to grab and strike the driver. He was yelling something but we couldn't hear what they said. The driver being attacked jumped out of his cart and ran around in front of his cart and confronted the other man. They both raised their fists and the original aggressor took a couple of swings but the other man moved back and said something like "I don't want to fight" and "what did I do?" But the first man continue to be aggressive. The light changed and as we were pulling away (I couldn't pull over there) I could see them both rolling on the pavement. Other cars had stopped and we saw a police car coming down Morse so I assume it was stopped. Another case of apparent road rage gone bad. Very sad and disturbing to see this behavior on a public road here in TV.

In the state of Florida what the aggressor did is very dangerous. We all get angry at some other driver at some point but the man who was assaulted could have shot the aggressor. All that is necessary, in Florida, is he felt his life was in danger or he was about to receive grave bodily harm. This could have been the last day of this man's life.
