Same conclusion. Throwing a drink into a person’s face is assault but just grabbing for a drink isn’t.

Looks like we watched the same video but have different judgment about when the “attack” started.

Are you watching the same video i am? He throws a drink in her face to start the whole thing

A Florida woman who fatally shot a man in the parking lot of a Walmart during a confrontation over a parking space won’t face charges, prosecutors announced Thursday.

The Broward County State Attorney’s Office said Florida’s “stand your ground” law makes the shooter, who said she was acting in self-defense, immune from prosecution in connection with the June 30 shooting in North Lauderdale.

Bart Diguglielmo, 62, was shot and killed in the incident, which was captured on several videos, including from cellphones and a Tesla, according to a memo on the shooting released Thursday by the Broward County State Attorney’s Office.

Man fatally shot in Walmart parking lot following dispute over parking space: Authorities

“A dispute over a parking space. In a Walmart parking lot. The facts surrounding the June 30, 2026, homicide of Bart DiGuglielmo are as tragic as they are absurd,” Broward State Attorney’s Office Homicide Trial Unit Division Chief Stephen Zaccor wrote in the memo. “There is relatively no dispute about what actually happened because the entire incident was captured by various video recording devices.”

The shooter, identified in the memo as Melissa Payne, was driving with her niece and niece’s baby when she and Diguglielmo got into a “brief stalemate” after attempting to park in the same spot, the memo said.

DiGuglielmo “inexplicably abandoned his car in the through lane of travel” and went into the store, before shortly returning to his vehicle, according to the memo. Multiple witnesses reported hearing him say he was going to “mess her car up” and “---- her s— up,” before driving off at a high rate of speed, parking and then walking toward Payne’s vehicle, according to the memo. A witness described him as being “visibly angry” while looking at Payne, according to the memo.

Payne exited her vehicle holding a phone in her left hand and a firearm in her right and said, per a witness, “If you keep coming up to me, I’m going to ------- shoot you!” the memo stated.

The witness reported that “despite those warnings,” DiGuglielmo continued to approach, and video showed him “aggressively approach” Payne, according to the memo.

DiGuglielmo “continued his pursuit” as Payne backed away from him, according to the memo. He is seen on video continuing to pursue her and “motioned as if he was going to damage” her vehicle with his keys, according to the memo.

DiGuglielmo turned back and then approached Payne, at which point she fired her gun, striking him in the abdomen, according to the memo.

Payne was on the phone with her husband during the shooting, who told authorities that she said, “Bae, I shot. Call the cops,” according to the memo.

She was briefly taken into custody by the Broward Sheriff’s Office and her “recitation of the facts was consistent with the various sources of video evidence,” the memo stated. She was released after stating she acted in self-defense, prosecutors said.

In an analysis of the incident, Zaccor stated that Payne was “in a public place, a Walmart parking lot, and therefore was in a place she had a right to be.” She further is not a convicted felon and had a right to possess a firearm, “therefore she was not doing anything unlawful at the time she used deadly force,” he wrote.

“Accordingly,” Zaccor continued, Payne “had the right to stand her ground if she was in reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm.” Based on the evidence, the state is unable to prove that her fear of great bodily harm was “not reasonable,” he wrote, citing DiGuglielmo’s actions.

Zaccor said that because Florida is a stand-your-ground state, Payne “did not have to wait to be attacked before resorting to deadly force. She did not have to retreat as long as her fear was reasonable and no evidence has been presented to disprove that.”

Because they’re on a stroad and the business they want to visit is on the other side

Ye, but if getting hit on by men wasn’t danger-coded or gross, it would be less of a deterrent. You don’t have to blame yourself.

It certainly signals a lack of future investment which doesn’t bode well

Always has been. 🌍🧑‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀

This is the full text of the post. I don’t take it to mean “dead”, as that isn’t the opposite of growing. Despite what venture capitalists want people to think.

It is interesting to see that Deimos thinks the failed. I think that speaks more to his aspirations of what tildes could be, not a disparagement of the current community.

I will always remember tildes as the first reddit alternative I actually liked; that wasn’t an alt-right clone. Deimos showed it was possible, and the threadiverse picked up the baton and is still running further.

I’ve been assuming that this is fairly apparent since nothing significant has changed here in years now, but I suppose it’s best to be explicit.

There is no intention to do anything like:

• Actively attempt to attract more users
• Implement new functionality or change existing functionality
• Change the site’s structure
• Give any other people access to moderation/admin abilities or control of the site

Or anything else of a similar level. The site has basically been in “minimum maintenance mode” for a long time, and I do not plan to start investing more time in it or otherwise trying to reinvigorate or reinvent it. I recognize that a lot of information and documentation on the site does not reflect this, but almost all of it was written aspirationally nearly 10 years ago, and those aspirations failed. To be clear, I definitely don’t consider Tildes a failure—I’m proud and happy that we were able to create a small community that people (mostly) like being a part of. I enjoyed building it, and it’s great that the community has managed to sustain itself for so long, but it’s not the same as the goal that most of that writing had in mind. I should remove or update a lot of it, but there are very few new users and almost everyone here already knows how things work.

I’m certainly happy to continue keeping Tildes running while people want to keep hanging out here, but you should only do that if you are satisfied with the state of the site. If you are unhappy with Tildes’ current functionality, structure, design, userbase, culture, or any other major aspect, you should probably look for a different community (or start one, anyone can!). You should not pin your hopes on any major changes happening here.

I liked tildes, i just liked the fediverse more.

Tildes tended to have long, serious discussions. The fediverse had oneninetysix.

There’s probably people that still use tildes regularly and like the vibes. It’s good to have choice, and small to medium social websites existing alongside each other.

What exactly does the ballot do? It sounds like the people have already spoken

Ey yo? yo yo!

Can you explain the inconvenience?

For me, if i have to use my hand anyway to turn the doorknob, it doesn’t seem inconvenient to me to first turn a little thumb turn.

But maybe you have a different way of thinking about it?

If you unlock from the inside with a thumb turn, it isn’t inconvenient.

We’ve had this forever. It is called the “green wave”

I could try the power supply. Unfortunately it cost $120 + 80 shipping, and i didn’t realize its overheating tendency until it was too late to return. An expensive lesson to learn about vintage electronics for sale.

I bought a vcr from ebay, and it heats up terribly. I tried using the compressed air and vcr head cleaner, but it still does it. Any advice?

I also use the little usb input things, but you can get better more expensive ones from elgato

I’m talking about in the court of law, when they’re claiming you tampered with evidence by leaving the note. Your lawyer could tell the jury that there were many reasons someone might have a note with a pin that erases the phone, including theft. Their client (you) invoked their right to silence, and you had no obligation to prevent the police from erasing your phone.

I think you can install snaps on Debian

Is qc a concern?
