If i saw a grown man pinning a young girl on the ground, im going to kick him in the head as hard as i can first, and ask questions later. I can't think of a single reason that he would be justified in doing that.

A vicious kick in the balls would be a good alternative.

That's what all the child molesters say, when they get caught on video pinning down a child. Where would a child get enough money for eggs?

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 21 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

He thought the girl was throwing eggs at his apartment. What a loser, tell the landlord to do something about it, it’s not even his property.

Florida landlord caught pinning down...girl gets life in el Salvador.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago

What a great way to make sure your house and car continue to get egged, more aggressively and more regularly to boot.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago

The Deregulated Florida Oblast has many fine fucking residents.

Psychopath.

Egging? Who the fuck can afford egging?

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Once you become a woman, you get one egg every month...but its tiny. And you'll bleed a ton and get cramps. God....yeah that looks good!

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 hours ago

Why did my brain immediately go to period blood water balloons?

Ya know it's good those of us in the penis havers club aren't supposed to bleed from our dicks monthly cuz we have an inbuilt nozzle.

The city confirmed that Mutu started his job as a parking enforcement specialist last week, with an annual salary of $42,078,40.

"He is currently suspended while the situation is under review," a city spokesperson said

Yeah, that was what jumped out at me too. Paul Blart got his first whiff of authority, and immediately jumped straight to police brutality.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 10 points 11 hours ago

"I'm a police officer, comply with my orders immediately!"

"Fuck off, meter maid!"

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 76 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A Florida man ran down and pinned an 11-year-old girl he suspected of egging his home in a "reprehensible" confrontation that was caught on video, authorities said Monday.

In Texas, it's legal to shoot someone egging your house, as long as they're doing it at night and you have a reasonable belief that you can't otherwise safely stop them. Egging a house is criminal mischief.

Texas Penal Code - PENAL § 9.42. Deadly Force to Protect Property

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by FindLaw Staff

A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:

(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41; and

(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:

(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or

(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property; and

(3) he reasonably believes that:

(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; or

(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.

EDIT: Also, where are all these people in Florida getting affordable eggs to egg with?

[–] MisanthropiCynic@lemm.ee -1 points 7 hours ago

It’s bullshit the laws only count at night. It should be legal in the daytime too.

If someone steals from you it’s literally legal to chase them down and shoot them to recover your property

Best law in the nation in that regard

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 points 11 hours ago

Eggs at Aldi in Florida are under $4.50.

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

9.42(2)(B)'s last word "and" makes it clear to satisfy the statue one must:

-Satisfy 9.41(1);

-Satisfy either 9.41(2)(A) OR 9.41(2)(B); AND

-Satisfy either 9.41(3)(A) OR 9.41(3)(B).

That reading effectively reads the final requirement out of the text or presumes some extreme fact pattern that was not mentioned.
