“Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother’s sword has been sheathed in a brother’s breast and that the once-happy plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?” - George Washington, 1777

Why I carry
Man giving out $20 bills at Waffle House is shot and killed by a man angry that the victim didn't give the shooter's girlfriend $20.
Yeah. The WH should be in a 'safe' area of Gainesville, but... close behind the Home Depot there's a large Section 8 and Low-Income housing complex that is rife with illegal drugs and all that goes with illegal drugs.
Fortunately for Gainesville, the Gator People can't see the aforementioned complex.
Now we get to see how the locally elected State's Attorney and Judges will handle this case. (My personal feeling, from watching drug cases get flushed down the toilet, is somehow this will be pled or dropped to involuntary manslaughter...)
