If one of the guys in the Nitro had his CHL, what would he have been within his rights to do?

Copied from Wired2fish website: Court Case <==== Click Here According to Oklahoma Highway Patrol officials, Austin Potts of Arkansas has been charged with two counts of felony Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon, one count Acts Resulting in Gross Injury, one count Failure to Possess Current Registration on a Vessel and one count Failure to Have Required Equipment on a Vessel after an altercation with two anglers fishing around the Sunset Cove Marina on Ft. Cobb Lake in Oklahoma. The Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon charges are felonies with a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in the state penitentiary or up to 1 year in the county jail. We followed up with Jacob Russell who was the owner of the the fiberglass Nitro bass boat that was rammed by Potts and co-worker in a jon boat around the Sunset Cove Marina on Ft. Cobb Lake. He was aware of the charges and is still seeking restitution for the damage done to his boat. His boat had to be totaled by insurance because it is now considered as having been in an accident which voids the warranty on their new boat.

I watched the video and think this was all staged...they did it as a metaphor. I think the guys in the Jon boat may represent many of the guys on the TFF ( maybe life in general) that are a horses sphincter, calling people out unnecessarily, attacking someone’s opinion or wares for sale or trade, on matters that don’t involve them, without provocation. The guys in the bass boat may represent the healthy majority on the TFF (maybe life in general too) that prefer to move along freely in life and let them be chumps and not engage. Maybe I’m reading too much into it.
