Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

No one was hurt in the 2 a.m. domestic dispute at 2811 S County Line Road, said Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Debbie Carter. Floyd, 44, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

I am American

OMG!!! the man gets charged for the woman breaking into his house??????

I agree she should be charged, but here is the rub:

Floyd admitted to shooting the gun but told deputies he had only fired into the air as the woman was leaving

If he would have shot while she was chopping the door down no issue, but apparently the attack was over when he fired the shot....that will get you every time.

What?! Somethings not right here. Where's the full story? Was he suppose to just let her come after him with an axe?

      adam-1262066

      the woman charged. debbie carter

      I REALLY wish you were right adam, but:

      No one was hurt in the 2 a.m. domestic dispute at 2811 S County Line Road, said Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Debbie Carter.
      Floyd, 44, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

      Debbie Carter is the police spokeswoman, Floyd was the one that was arrested.

      So much for reading carefully Adam!

      Side note, if it was Adam or Bob breaking the door down with an axe, the cop would have shot him for her.

      isn't the whole idea here that the guy was arrested in his own house after being attacked by a crazy women with an ax to his property and him most likely him if she had gotten in. but of course he was arrested?

        sexism may be at play here....but there is no indication of racial profiling or racism...IMO

          yea...we can laugh now, but in my case booze, cars, locked doors and another man did not mix. got rid of the booze the vw and the wife, she kept the guy...but it is a hell of a lot better to be laughing free!
