A Florida man is using the state?s ?stand your ground? law as a defense after he shot a customer who was complaining about slow service at a St. Petersburg Little Caesars Pizza restaurant.

Randall White, 49, was in line waiting for his pizza on Sunday when he began complaining that he wasn?t being served fast enough. According to the Tampa Bay Times, 52-year-old Michael Jock was also in line and scolded White for whining.

The two began arguing and it eventually ?became a shoving match,? police spokesperson Mike Puetz said.

After White allegedly raised his fist, Jock pulled out a .38 Taurus Ultralight Special Revolver and fired a shot into the man?s torso. A second shot also hit White in the torso. One round became lodged in the restaurant wall.

When police arrived, Jock told them that the shooting had been justified under Florida?s ?stand your ground? law, which says that gun owners do not have a ?duty to retreat.?

?He felt he was in his rights,? Puetz explained. ?He brought it up specifically and cited it to the officer.?

Jock, who had a concealed-carry permit, told police that White had an object in his hand, but later abandoned that story under police questioning.

?We determined it did not reach a level where deadly force was required,? Puetz said.

Jock was arrested by St. Petersburg Police and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and shooting at, within or into a building. He was released by the Pinellas County Sheriff?s Office after posting $20,000 bond.

White later told the Tampa Bay Times that he felt lucky just to be alive.

?There are arguments every day, but how many people pull out a gun?? he observed. ?He was in my face and I pushed him. His life was not being threatened.?

White admitted that he had been agitated when he started complaining that his thin-crust vegetable pizza had taken more than the 10 minutes the restaurant promised. :rolleyes:

?Twenty minutes later, I?m like, ?Where?s my pizza??? White recalled, adding that he still had a bullet fragment in his back but he ?got lucky.?

?To me, that stand your ground rule ? people are twisting it. He?s twisting it. I walked in to get a pizza and I got shot ? I?m hoping the law prevails. We?ll see.?

He was WRONG and these morons give responsible gun owners a bad name, hope he's charged and looses his carry license on the grounds that he didn't pay any attention to his training, had he payed attention he would have known that this was not a situation where the castle doctrine does not cover

So glad every Tom, D*ck and Harry isn't armed in the UK. Not saying we don't have guns on the streets as that would be silly, but we don't have problems like this in general.

Just out of curiosity, what paperwork/background checks would I need to buy a gun and get a concealed weapon permit if I was a U.S citizen ?

Another dumbarse who should have his right to own a firearm removed.

He knew he was in the wrong, that's why he tried to claim a false story first. I bet he's been storing this little tid-bit of information for just this reason.

All you need to do is prove that you have mental health issues and they give you a gun for free.

No, you'll get stabbed or beaten to death.

Depending on the State, there is a Federal background check that takes ~4 days to complete, that one makes sure you aren't a criminal or wanted or have been institutionalized or have lost the right to carry there is also a mandated class in firearm safety before you are allowed to carry, or even buy a weapon, usually the shop won't sell you the weapon till you show proof of taking the class, it costs between $100 to $300 again depending on State and what class you actually take. In most Stets to carry concealed it's an extra process that involves your fingerprints, another background check and extra training involving the when and where to carry and or use the weapon, some States will issue you a card with your picture as a license to carry, some just give you a simple card. The fees an time required to get fully concealed carry will be ~$500 or so dollars, months worth of time plus the cost of the weapon and ammo, and could go higher, some States or Cities require that you have a bond taken out on you just in case you wrongfully shoot someone

What gets me is that all you hear is when someone wrongly uses a weapon, but like in the Mall shooting that story died because the criminal was stopped by a dude with a legal concealed weapon, and he didn't even shoot the criminal, he was worried about innocent people behind the criminal, the criminal killed himself after just seeing the guy point his handgun at him while the guy was deciding whether or not to shoot the criminal, no that doesn't make the news because it's counter to the agenda that guns are "bad"

All you need to do is prove that you have mental health issues and they give you a gun for free.

Took you long enough to show up and ruin the thread with your constant hate and ignorance

No. The UK murder rate is about a quarter of that of the US. But don't let logic or reason get in your way.

Background checks are standard for conceal and carry permits. No felonies, no mental history issues, etc...

If he's convicted of a crime, he will no longer be able to own a weapon.

I assumed so and that is what i was getting at, sorry if that wasn't clear.

Unfortunate that we can't see in to the future and see what people would do once they owned a weapon, i say that but the whole Minority Report thing does make me shudder.

They both should be arrested for eating Little Caesars.

Customer should be sent to the psych ward for attempted suicide and the worker for attempted genocide.

And yet you are 3 times as likely to be a victim of crime in the UK... but like you said, don't let logic or reason get in your way.

None of your **** makes any sense.

If you are incapable of reading in context, you are correct. Read the quote and it makes perfect sense. The joke was made that eating there was grounds for arrest. I expanded on that thought.

Most violent crime in the US happens in impoverished inner city ghettos, that are more prominent in the US because of a lot of reasons, but one is the countries are just demographically different. If you're in a gang area in the US or in the UK you'll be equally likely to be a target, whether by gun or knife. If you're in a suburb in the US you're not very likely to be murdered either.

And then once in a few years these incidences of mass shootings happen, which seem to becoming more common regardless of the fact that we have more gun control than we used to have. And once in a while you read of students planning to use a bomb, rather than guns, before the threat is diffused, and I don't know how you ban that.

Could you provide a source for your 3 times claim please? I'm not saying you're wrong, just curious to see the figures.

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
