Man charged after allegedly showing gun to jump ahead of women in West Palm fast-food line



WEST PALM BEACH — A West Palm Beach man was arrested Tuesday after being accused of wielding a gun at three women so he could cut in front of them in the drive-through line at a fast-food restaurant.

James Lee Cruz, 58, is being held at the Palm Beach County Jail in lieu of $7,500 bond. He is facing three counts of aggravated assault.

City police arrested Cruz after the three women called to report that a man in a silver Buick just couldn't wait in the drive-through line at the McDonald's on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard near Congress Avenue during the early morning hours of May 13.

The women told police the two cars were side-by-side around 1:35 a.m. when the driver, later identified as Cruz, pulled out a gun and pointed it at them, the arrest report said. They also said the man was yelling something at them, but they could not hear him.

um maybe I shouldn't offer that as a defense. On second thought maybe it's true. Anyway, I sort of hope it is and he wasn't just being really really impatient.

And, his action won't get listed in the gun crimes that the gun culture attempts to use to assert gun owners/carriers are pillars of society.

If not, where's the insult?

All gun-owners, including myself, are not asshats; but all gun-owners that act as this man did, are!

Florida tracks and publishes that data every year.

You think Zimmerman can still buy a gun, and still has his permit?

And no, a conviction under these circumstances would be reported to state and federal databases.

In addition to providing funding to push thru SYG laws in many states, the right-wing KochSuckers over at ALEC have now embarked on the SYB campaign to shove Stand Your Burger laws down America's throat.

So unaware and out of touch,
Without a care nor thinking much,
Catching a wave, riding it high;
Unsuspecting that it was lie.

BTW, an insult would be aimed at you. My reply was aimed at your logically challenged implications. Every thread needs a dunsel.

Oh goody, that makes you an exceptional gun-religionist. An unusual gun-religionist. Remember, your experience is not shared by all gun-religionists. Thinking one's personal acts are done by everybody is the "reasoning" process favored by repigs.
