Asshole

A guy is walking on the golf cart path of the golf course. Another guy, Eddie Orobitg, knows that this is against the rules, so he takes it upon himself to be the enforcer of rules, and reads the offender the riot act. The offender tells this guy on the rules committee to fuck off. Well, our self appointed referee wasn’t having that, so he spit in the guys face and then beat him with a golf club. The victim wound up with broken ribs, a traumatic brain injury, a ripped earlobe, a broken jaw, and multiple lacerations. Under Florida law, this is serious bodily injury, making this attack a forcible felony. Aggravated battery.

Orobitg’s juvenile son said his father had asked the couple to get out of his way. The son said the man “got into his father’s face” and a verbal altercation broke out. He said his father spit in the man’s face. The other man spit back and pushing began. The son said that was when his father “accidentally” struck the man with his golf club.

The deputy who wrote the arrest report noted that Orobitg did not have any injuries other than a cut on his hand. There was blood on his clothes and golf clubs.

For breaking a golf rule. Accidentally? He struck him half a dozen times “on accident?” Orobitg is a dentist that practices in the area and obviously has some anger control issues.

A Tennessee cop and a criminal get into a gunfight after the cop initially mistakes it for an ordinary Taser deployment. The cop gets ventilated by hits below his vest, likely due to his giant stomach making the vest ride up. The woman gets hit several times and manages to dump her weapon and escape, before expiring a short distance away. Here is the video:

Quote of the Day

The honor goes to Billy Woods, the Sheriff of Marion County, Florida:

All the gun laws we got in place didn’t prevent it, did it? Neither will any new ones, because here’s the fact: the bad guy is going to get a gun no matter what law you have put in place, these juveniles shouldn’t even possess a handgun, but they did.

He said it in the press conference announcing the arrest of 2 gang members, aged 12 and 17, who killed three people. The weapons used were a pair of handguns stolen in automobile burglaries. The killers’ identity will surprise no one.

There’s More to the Story

JKb over at Gunfreezone gets angry at the cops because they went to a girl’s home to retrieve a goat. I would have commented over there, but I just don’t want to pay to make comments, seeing as how I already pay for this website, so here is my answer. He says:

I read shit like this and I wonder how anyone can “back the Blue” anymore.

How about the entire story without all of the tear jerking spin?

Mom bought daughter a goat last April. They named it, fed it, and raised it. Then mom sold the goat at a livestock auction. The auction sold the goat at auction June 25 for $902, of which $63.14 was supposed to go to the state fair and $838.86 to the mother and daughter.

It was at this point that the daughter found out that the goat was to be slaughtered and eaten, a fact which mom was well aware. Daughter promptly threw a fit and demanded that mom rescue the goat. It’s proper to point out that the rules of the state fair say that all sales are final, and that’s that. So when the fair wouldn’t undo the sale, mom stole the goat right out of the auction’s barn. Mom then hid the goat on someone else’s property (an animal rescue organization) so that the fair and the police could not recover the stolen property. The stolen goat was eventually recovered, slaughtered, and barbecued.

Now mom is suing, and JKb has his panties in a bunch because he thinks that police should ignore grand theft, conspiracy to commit theft, and fraud because someone’s snowflake child is upset.

So I guess he is now OK with California decriminalizing theft if someone is really upset? Or are the cops wrong for enforcing the law? Just what should the cops do when someone buys something, the seller then steals the item back, and then hides the stolen property in order to prevent its discovery?

The response should be that the cops arrest mom for grand theft, the animal rescue for conspiracy to traffic in stolen goods, and conspiracy to commit grand theft.
