re: Florida Man Whines About His Ruined Reputation After Pulling Gun On Uber Driver

I'm not sure I would even consider this an over-reaction. You wake up to find your 13yr old missing from her room, call the police, they do nothing, but then she shows up later with some stranger just dropping her off?

I can understand the emotions that might have led to this reaction from the father, but I think it’s pretty objectively an over-reaction.

I get that he’s upset about his daughter sneaking out, but that doesn’t give him the right to pull the guy who brought her home out of his car at gunpoint and make him lie face down on the road while searching him. Even if the driver had been a friend of the daughter rather than an Uber driver, it would still have likely amounted to false imprisonment and assault.

Unless there are some serious omissions from the story right now, it looks to me like he fricked up and is paying the consequences.
