David James, a 41-year-old father who was reportedly defending skateboarders against an irate neighbor was shot and killed while playing basketball with his 8-year-old daughter Sunday afternoon, September 26, 2010 in Valrico, Florida, according to story on Tampa Bay.com.
Neighbors say James, 41, was . . . telling a man who lives across the street there was no sign to prohibit them from skateboarding on the courts. . . “I see a sign,” the assailant replied as he pulled a gun, neighbors said. . . The suspect, though, had a reputation for nagging neighbors about loose dogs, and yelling and swearing at the skateboarders who like to set up ramps and rails on the community basketball court to practice their moves.
In an only-in-Florida twist the shooter was “questioned by detectives and the State Attorney’s Office and released.” How’s that?

I am stunned at the fact they did not take him in, and want to see justice here. Hey Nike use your juice. Step up and use your skateboard cash to shine some light on how whack some of these people are, advertise SB during golf matches.

Kooks and guns. Please keep us posted on this case.
I can’t wait to see this murderer punished. If there was an issue he should have called the police. He is a filthly low life murder who kill fathers in front of their young daughters.
I hope this murder is reading all of these comments. Somebody should plaster pictures of the guys daughter all around his neightborhood so he has to see the face of that little girls father that he murdered.
This murdering scumbag needs to be punished..sorry for his wife, but he chose to pick up that gun when all he had to do was call the police.
I only hope that the sheriff’s office is delaying arresting him so taht they are sure they have all of their t’s crossed so that he has no chance of defending himself for this cowardly act.
Here’s a nice little kicker – according to news reports the suspect, TREVOR DOOLEY, was not only released, HE WENT BACK TO WORK THE NEXT DAY AS A SCHOOL BUS DRIVER!
WTF?

Oh yeah, I was only kidding about the murder part.
That’s illegal.
…unless you live in Florida.
Thay just arrested him.
The Republicans passed this stupid law. This guy has been waiting to shoot somebody ever since the Republicans passed this stupid law. He thought that he would get away with it. I have money and I am a Republican. Think what kind of crazy laws will be passed if the Republicans take over again. The law was passed by JEB BUSH.
STOP THE CRAZIES
This is bullshit…. Put that man to death..
