Gators could fly, the Everglades could freeze, and Disney could be cut off from the political teet (OK, that last one actually happened), and we would hardly bat an eye. So great is its capacity for chaos. So long has it reveled in it. And yet we cant help be shocked by this story out of Delray Beach, where 74-year-old Robert Levine is under arrest for attempted first-degree murder for shooting 64-year-old Herbert Merritt in the ankle after he found Merritt walking his dog along the 15th hole of Kings Point Golf Club just before 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Heres how it went down according to Merritt (as reported by WPBF News):
Merritt told deputies he was walking his dog on the grass next to the golf course when Levine rode up in his golf cart and began causing a verbal altercation with him due to having his dog on the golf course He then began shooting at him while Merritt was running away.
Levine chased Merritt around a tree while continuing to shootMerritt said he shot about five rounds at him, according to the report and witnesses he felt that Levine was trying to kill him. ...............(more)
