tons of cars, right, everybody shows up. Yeah, they go
out there. The family was having a nice, peaceful barbecue.
There was kids playing.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
There was no gun at all. It's unbelievable, No, because
why is this neighbor?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
As many times as name called, the other neighbors have
to retaliated.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And nothing hurt that man and nothing him to know.
Don't do this again, right, stop doing this.
Speaker 2 (02:35):

But Samuel, you are seven years old, sir. Yeah, I
will push you down your board. Oh yeah, Samuel, and
throw your rocking chair on top of you. That's a
death sentence. Okay, you hear me, Samuel, Samuel, I love it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Oh, Samuel is not happy. He's arrested. Now, ah, we
go next to a Florida man he threatened to shoot
some people in an argument over mangoes. All right, well,
glad to see it wasn't over something stupid.

Why And mangoes are delicious, I will say, especially in
a margarita, right however.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, mango margarita.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
There was an argument over mangoes and did in a
Florida man pulling a gun on another guy saying.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I'm gonna shoot you.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Now, when you pull a gun on somebody, do you
need to say I'm going to shoot you, because it's
kind of implied with you with a gun in your hand,
you pulling it out on me and stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
You know, I think it just adds to the effect
of the gun.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I didn't think you were pulling it out to show
it to me, you know, based in the context of
the argument we're having about mangoes.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Just now.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Rodrigo Mendez Ball twenty nine years old. He's been accused
of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon to a person
sixty five or over after getting into a fight with
another man who was picking mangoes off of a tree.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
The elderly man, uh always man Yep.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
He was driving by a Miami home when he saw
a mango tree outside, so he decided to go to.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
The home and he asked to pick some fruit.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, there was a woman that greeted him and said, yeah,
you can take some mangoes, go ahead. The woman was impatient,
and that's when she called Rodrigo into the picture and said, hey,
go see what's taking that guy so long out there.
I told him he could pick some mangoes off the tree.
But he's been out there for half an hour already.
Let's go see what's going on, Rodrigo.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And what was going on?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, Rodrigo went out there all you know, whiz and vinegar,
you know what I mean. He was not happy about
it at all, and I guess the man explained that
he had permission to pick the mangoes. The woman confirmed
that she allowed him to take some mangoes. The guy
was walking to his car. That's when Rodrigo followed him
and pulled out a gun. He racked the slide and
said I'm gonna shoot you.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
This started off so nice and kindness.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Right, Yeah, according to this, Rodrigo allowed police go ahead.
Look at my ring camera footage and that's when they
saw the whole thing. They're like, Rodrigo, you're a jerk.

for no reason.

Thirty minutes in the yard picking my mangos. He's an
old man. Oh yeah he is. Now he's old. They
should have helped she should have helped him.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Right, sure, old man, go ahead, have fun. Yeah now, Rodrigo,
I guess, approached the guy's car, followed him all the
way out to the car, went to the guy's passenger door,
pointed the gun at him and said, go.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Ahead leave, get out of here. Wow, Rodrigo, I mean
that's a little while. You don't know what that old
man is packing.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Right, you know, he could have got to his car
and blowie all that bur for mangoes.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Mangoes totally worth it. We go lastly to a Florida man.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
He started a gunfight in the roadway because the victims
were quote two big guys in a bigger truck than his.
So that's why he attacked them. They're big guys and
their truck was bigger.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
N therapy brow.
Speaker 1 (06:10):

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Florida man is facing felony charges after turning road rage
into a gunfight. The Pasco County Sheriff's Department said that
the twenty five year old suspected His name is Hunter Bibb,
and he was driving his Dodge when the two victims
were in a bigger Dodge. Ram bib abruptly cut off
the victim's car and then a few minutes later, their
(06:33):
truck pulled up next to him. Words got exchanged between
the two parties. At one point that's when mister bib
started brandishing a large handgun and he fired two or
three rounds at their truck. In return, the Ram driver
fired one round out of his vehicle into mister Bibb's vehicle.
It didn't do any damage or anything like that. The truck,
(06:53):
on the other hand, had a shattered passenger side window,
there was a hole in the passenger side door, and
there was a hole through the windshield in the police
were able to get projectile fragments and they matched mister
Bibb's gun. Bib told police that the guys were big,
bigger than him and that their truck was even bigger
than his.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
They're drugging bigger than man bad a shoe gan him.
I had no one of the chores people never grow up.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
He provided the police with a video of him following
the victim's truck, driving in normal speeds, listening to music.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But you know, he did explain his actions, saying that
he was outnumbered and they were in a bigger truck,
bigger truck than man. He was arrested on aggravated assault,
shooting a deadly missile into an occupied vehicle and discharging
a firearm. Wow, you're in trouble, mister bibum. But we'll
