Never bring a banana to a gunfight.

A Florida man was jailed Tuesday after allegedly shooting at another driver who threw part of a banana at his truck. WFLA reports that the road rage incident occurred around 8 a.m. in the Tampa Bay area after an argument between Peter Sala Jr. and Robert Lewis went south on Highway 19 North.

Sala Jr. reportedly tossed what appeared to be a partial banana toward Lewis, striking the side of his vehicle. Lewis allegedly responded by firing his handgun at Sala Jr, shattering his passenger side window and causing a shard of glass to cut the victim’s leg.

Lewis was locked up in the Pinellas County Jail and his bond was set at $12,000. ........(more)

1. Repugs are turning Flawrida into a banana republic

They're making the state finally live up to its reputation as the "American Latin America" - though not for the reason most Repugs think.

Asshole or not get bail for 12000 dollars.

3. Oh come on people, he was standing his ground.

The castle doctrine in Florida allows deadly response for bananaing a car. It is all about the sanctity of the 2nd Amendment. You may have to live here to understand it.

5. If he had a gun, why did he use a banana ? Confusing headline. nt
