As the old saying goes, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
That’s the lesson a jealous, and dangerous, Florida man recently learned when he decided to assault one of his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriends. Threatening someone that you’ll shoot them is dangerous in more ways than one—it’s illegal, plus it can get you killed.
Such was the case in a September 4 incident in St. Petersburg, Florida. According to police, 39-year-old Matthew Weisner was drinking with his girlfriend, Amber Souza, at her house in Pinellas Park when the two began arguing. Soon, according to reports, “Weisner began contacting Souza’s previous boyfriends out of jealousy.”
One ex-boyfriend Weisner called was Michael McMann. During the call, Weisner began yelling and threatening to harm McMann with a firearm, even saying that he would be coming to McMann’s home to get him.
When Weisner arrived at McMann’s house later, McMann wasn’t there. However, his younger brother, Austin McMann was, and Weisner’s sudden arrival startled him.
Austin McMann later told detectives that he didn’t know who Weisner was but thought he might have been in a car accident because of the speed and angle that he pulled up to the house, where he had stopped partially on the road and partially on the property.
When Austin went outside the house with a firearm and demanded that Weisner leave, Weisner started yelling and reached into the console of this truck. According to the sheriff’s report: “Austin heard a sound he felt was consistent with the racking of a gun slide and saw corresponding movement.”
That’s when the younger brother fired multiple shots, gravely wounding the aggressor. Austin McMann then ran back into the house and called 911.
While the investigation is ongoing, Austin is claiming self-defense in the altercation. Weisner remains on life support at a local hospital with what detectives called a “non-survivable gunshot wound to the head.”
Never stick in crazy, long term is just never worth it.
The guy who got shot either had a gun or he didn’t. Regardless of what he “appeared to be doing” it will definitely matter which it was.
*results may vary by state, reasonable belief may apply, offer void in people’s republics.
Not likely. FL has adequate self defense laws, to include SYG and civil immunity.
“Mostly peaceful” really is mostly peaceful. A notable lack of flash mobs, takeovers, looting, arson and raging around on private property with a gun.
Not a coincidence.
If we can keep those laws, that will continue.
Isn’t the drinking of alcohol wonderful? It has so many redeeming qualities.🙄
Reasonable person doctrine. were the kid’s actions reasonable? surely sounds like it.
at the same time he shoulda stayed indoors to eliminate all doubt.
Picking fights with some hose-bag’s *former* boyfriends?
Not just one, but multiple? Weird. Could you imagine getting that call? She’s all yours, man. Okay now, buh-bye.

Keep calm and carry, at home.

You’ve sold another 10 thousand AR’s and helped to boost Trumps ratings.
jwm, you can make these claims but they are just as empty as most of your statements.
You really are too blind to see, aren’t you. You guys kept Trump front and center and enabled his comeback. You’re still doing it. Your greatest weapon against Trump would have been silence.
And every time you and your fascist buddies comment about gun control you sell more guns.
I never owned any sort of MSR. The most modern non hunting rifle I ever owned was an SKS.
But you can believe that the moment I am able to legally buy one here in CA I will.
You, and your kind, are the best asset we pro gunners have.
Remember, if Trump looses in November he is still eligible to run again in 2028. The only way they will ever get rid of Trump is to let him win and set out his second term. He’s even got a guardian angel so what they tried in Butler won’t even work.
Just let it happen. Get used to having Trump as your president again. It will only be 4 years and then JD Vance can be president for 8 more.
Life is Good
A mere pittance compared to the number that’ll be sold the day after watching Kamala cackling out her nonsense in the “debate”.
I’m thinking that she’s going to pull out of the debate.
She simply isn’t in the same class as Trump and she knows it.
Doggone her honor was at stake and Doggone he was going to get to the bottom of it one way or another and Doggone all he got was a splitting headache.
More likely his honor was what he was thinking about – now His/Her Honor is gonna say “SYG” as soon as they pull the plug.
The girlfriend must be a real piece of work. She chose this (almost dead) guy to be her BF.
As usual, “Florida Man” strikes again!
10,000 years from now, archaeologists will ponder how in God’s Name ‘Florida Man’ didn’t go extinct for so long!
yesterday I get this news on FM Snapchat.
