And this gun-wielding cowboy is out on bail? What am I not understanding??? Where do these stupid judges come from and what is their justification for the penalties they give -- or don't give??

After Ms Klem was arrested for the square incident, she WAS allowed to bond out of jail (as was he). It wasn't until she turned herself back in for Violation of Probation that she was denied bond for that offense (the probation violation). The reason they are both still in jail now is because they took plea deals and agreed to the six month sentences rather than go before a jury where they may have gotten longer sentences. The other two utility box yahoos were denied bond based on their unique history.

None of these cases have anything to do with the road rage incident and it doesn't make any sense to try to compare them. The primary purpose of bond is to ensure that the accused shows back up for trial. The amount of bond is based on various factors unique to that particular case.

I think the bond and jail time is based more on past record, then on the current event. Don't forget....the square sex lady was on probation from a prior and I believe a stipulation said she was to stay away from the booze.
There's always more to the story than is printed. We don't know the whole story with the gun wielding motorcyclist.

And he may be a reader of TOTV and your neighbor and reading your comments.

Mr Michael Dunn, of the loud music case fame, got 30 years for each shot he fired at a moving car even though no one was injured - three shots fired equals 90 years in jail. To top it off, he just received (in a separate trial) a life sentence for first degree murder. So he is serving a life sentence plus 90 years.

The moral of the story is think long and hard before shooting at an occupied car.

So this is what America's Friendliest Home Town looks like to the rest of the world - the media are going to have a field day with this one - first sex and now road rage. It's been a long hot summer, but this is ridiculous.

I'd have to look up his address to be absolutely positive, but I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that the motorcyclist is the same jerk that I followed through the Calumet Gate a while ago. No sooner was he through the gate and he took a hard left in front of oncoming traffic and gave it full-throttle onto the southbound cart path and took a shortcut into where he lives.

Mr. Macho needs a mental evaluation in my opinion.

Someone named Amy Greene is championing this jerk and has written long rants on the other online news. She must be his girlfriend.

I have a ccw permit, all those who expose, shooting it out--remember the gunfight you can always win is the one you avoid; otherwise, its 50/50. Be aware of your surroundings & let nuts go their way & also you're not a law enforcement officer--do not try to correct others.

So far they are allowing hers to stay on there. Different from yesterday. She is extremely defensive and it must be very personal to her. I have yet to hear one word, here or there that shows a need for gunfire. As an earlier poster said, if he was trying to play mr policeman, he would have been a speed bump. Saw an incident live on TV several years ago where a group of protesters tried to stop a car in Miami. The lady ran one over. She then went to the police station. She was followed by the injured protestor. Guess what, they arrested the protestor ( as soon as he got out of the hospital with a broken leg).

ALWAYS check the real Villages news website for crime details. Google The Villages to find their website. Other websites will also show up when there is a crime report of this nature.

This is a popular device in many countries and I'm told some insurance companies give a discount if you have one in your car.
I would suggest that the person that was shot at also consider a civil suit on the shooter.

If it were me, after I hurried home to change my underwear, I'd head to my lawyers to prepare for the civil suit.

Happy Employee.. you got it right except add an (s) to your answer for shot fired.

I fully support the second Amendment and also Right to Carry.. but we just hate this type of person.... his life was not in danger but he in fact put the driver of the vehicle in fear of their life or lives. The Motorcycle to the rear was also a large factor in this case and could also be charged and most likely will.

Come on Concealed Carry, people clean up your act or we the law abiding carry believers will eventually lose our rights should these type of actions continue.. You know dam well you should not have even think about shooting in this situation... you in fact put your own self in a life situation.

You know dam well your life was not at stake here but the vehicle driver had the right to take yours...you pulled a gun and left him/her no way to escape or drive away..

Has it been established that the shooter had a license to carry?
