An elderly Florida couple were shot after being surrounded by a mob who were gathered for an illegal street race, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff Carmine Marceno announced the arrest of 17-year-old Armando Cruz in connection to the shooting. He's facing several charges, including two counts of attempted murder and aggravated rioting. He's being held for 21 days at the Department of Juvenile Justice and could be charged as an adult.


quote:

the victims were towing their boat as they were on their way to Key West. As they approached the intersection of Milwaukee Blvd. and Homestead Road in Lehigh Acres, a car club blocked the entire intersection for a street race. 

"At the intersection, a mob broke away from the larger group and surrounded the victims truck and boat and began to hit, punch and kick the vehicle," the sheriff said.



quote:

Before they could drive away, the sheriff says Cruz ran up to the truck and fired inside, shooting both victims. Video from the scene shows shots being fired into a truck during the chaos. 

The victims were able to drive away and get help. 



quote:

According to the sheriff, in July 2022, Cruz was arrested after a video showed him beating a disabled man in a wheelchair. The video surfaced on social media and he was arrested.


SIAP. I did the Google search deal and it didn't come up.

This is why police/authorities simply cannot allow this shite to start, and keep, happening. It never ends well.

Video at link, but it is a Facebook video.

These “mobs” are actually gangs organized through social media.

Example 1million why you run over the mob first, ask questions later.

My car gets mobbed, people getting skid marks. Im not sitting around until you decide you’ve had enough fun destroying my property or killing me.

Also, it's Florida. DeSantis's anti-rioting laws give protection to drivers who run over mobs like that.

I guess he didn`t like the elderly people interrupting their idiotic behavior so they were shot.

This the same culture being glorified on social media with all the rap, gang, druggin` and thuggin` videos being blasted out to the young people 24/7.

This crap has been allowed to go unchecked for years and it's only going to get more out of hand.

Lets be real, it wasn't street racing, they block the intersections so they can do donuts and burnouts for their live streams.

They don't listen to reason, either. This will only change with a violent, violent, violent pushback.
