That right! I was taught to stand up for yourself.

I haven't seen the Flotida video since it happened. I thought that after the guy got knocked to the ground, the other guy was standing there and not punching anymore. These inbreds kept being aggressive. Lets look at it this way. Obviously the kids didn't pull a gun and shoot so you are baseing your opinion on that video. What if after the 1st ramming and telling the inbreds to stop they are going to leave. They ram them again. The kid pulls a gun and tells them to stop, we are trying to leave. They keep trying to ram them. The kid shoots. What is your opinion then?

Happins again, crankup that outboard and run over that basterd

Bunch of tough guys on this thread. I'm all for punching a guy in the mouth when it's needed but can't help wondering how those boys were supposed to jump in the jon boat without ending up in the water. And the idea of shooting those idiots over some boat damage is too reckless and stupid to even comprehend.

I may not have shot the guys ramming me. But I would have made them evacuate the jon boat and hunt some cover.

they would've got the boat ramp beat down...

so are the cops going to do anything about the assault?

While I most likely would've handled it the same way you say you would have, by jumping in their boat and whipping some serious a$$, I think the two should be commended for the way they handled it. I would've been going to jail, you would've been going to jail. These two won't because they didn't further escalate the situation by jumping onto somebody else's boat and proceed to assault them(self-defense or not). Jumping on their boat would be no different than dragging somebody out of their car and whipping their a$$ if this was a car wreck. Two wrongs don't make a right. That said, remember I am admitting I wouldn't have the patience and self-control these guys had in a similar situation, but these two were raised in a world where there can be legal implications for just barely touching somebody, much less jumping onto/in their property and beating the tar out of them. Yeah when you grew up you might've been handed an a$$ whoopin for standing up for yourself, but these two might've been handed a jumpsuit. I know of somebody who had a disagreement with somebody and when walking away the other person took him down while his back was turned. The one walking away took control and beat the [censored] out of the guy. He got 3 years in jail and a couple years of probation after his release. Maybe they aren't "soft" and maybe they do sometimes stick up for themselves. But maybe they feared a result like that if they handled it the way we probably would have.

What did you expect him to say? Look at the tools in the boat... that was a working boat, not a fishing boat. Word is that the driver of the john boat is a relative of the marina owner.

Lots of marinas in OK post signs that say you can't fish within a certain distance in an attempt to buffalo fisherman.

Its time for a higher court to rule on this issue and settle these disputes before a tragedy happens. The only area that should be off limits to fishing is a fueling area, and only a limited number of feet within that area. These are navigable waters... your tax dollars were used to construct these lakes, and all users should be allowed full access except in areas where safety is an issue. Private entities and the Corp of Engineers should not have the right to limit access.

It was certainly justified-- in the least-- to fire a warning shot over their bow and state the next one would be deadly to protect ones self
Oklahoma --- while they like their Bubbas --- also cherish their STAND YOUR GROUND law and their GUNS !!!!

Those guys(and some of the responses on here) is why it’s illegal to marry within your own family!

So much wrong info in this post...
With extremely rare exception, you shoot at someone or shoot someone - your going to jail.

Warning shot is never a good idea.

Wow that’s insane
