After Shooting Whiny Customer at Little Ceaser's Pizza, Florida Man Cites "Stand Your Ground"

After Shooting Whiny Customer at Little Ceaser's Pizza, Florida Man Cites "Stand Your Ground"


An argument that started over bad service at a Little Caesar's Pizza shop has lead to a shooting and a man claiming his innocence under Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law.

Randall White, who is 49 years old, got angry when his vegetable thin crust pizza took longer than 10 minutes to prepare. A 51-year-old named Michael Jock was also in line and started arguing with White about his complaining.

The two exchanged harsh words and eventually got in a shoving match.

According to The Tampa Bay Times, Jock has a concealed carry weapons permit and pulled out his .38 Taurus Ultralight Special Revolver when White raised his fist. He fired once and hit White in the lower torso. The two continued to struggle, and another bullet fired, hitting White again in the lower torso.

and the coward strapped with a gun can claim self defense.

This is attempted murder and the coward with the gun should be behind bars for life.

And there's far more stupid people with guns than there are al Qaeda members in this world.
