I'm guessing he was just having a really bad game.

I read both TOTV and Villages News. Both are flawed in their own way: TOTV is--or attempts to be, with some failures--Pollyanna with a capital P. Villages News is the seamy side of things; more a National Enquirer clone than an actual newspaper. Both represent an extreme, with the real picture somewhere in between.

Can't blame them, though. They are just filling a niche. We long ago have shown conclusively that either-or, rather than compromise, is the way we want things to be.

Did you mean "TOTV", or did you mean The Daily Sun?

Everyone knows a 6-iron is the proper club for a beat down...

Nothing to do with the dog. It was all about golf.

Levine shot 3
Merritt said he shot 4
Levine said I ain't gonna let you get away with that
Levine went home to get his 44 (wasn't there so he took the 9mm)

Lying about or criticizing someone's golf can be way more dangerous than dog poopy.

I hope you’re not naive enough to think that such an incident cannot (or could not) happen here in “Florida’s Friendliest Home Town” !!

Not long ago, a man was arrested for shooting up a woman’s front door because she wound not respond to his romantic advances. Pretty much empties his clip from a 9mm handgun. Luckily, she was not home and no one was hurt (except for his feelings!). Yes , right here in TV

Already mentioned was incident at a dog park involving a gun right here in TV !

And there are many others if you care to do the research.

Unfortunately, there are lunatics ready to snap at any given moment anywhere you live …. INCLUDING The Villages.

And yes , I am a Villages resident , first home in 2005 and we’re on our third …..

I Believe this will people discourage other people from doing the same thing. Plus I hope he did not damage his golf club.:popcorn::gc:

Aren't they pretty much interchangeable, at least as far as philosophy goes? I suppose we could throw WVLG in there as well.

Relentless positivity.

I am glad that he did NOT shoot the innocent dog! If it happened in the Villages, our newspaper would fail to report it anyway.
