Florida deputies shoot man they mistook for car thief in his own driveway

The bizarre story started Saturday around 2:30 a.m. as Middleton was returning home.
Searching for a cigarette inside his White Lincoln Town Car, he appears to have been mistaken for a car thief by a concerned neighbor who called 911. Escambia County Sheriff's Deputy Jeremiah Meeks and Sgt. Matthew White responded to the call.
This is where the story takes a fork in the road.
Middleton's family said he was not feeling well enough to discuss what happened to him.
But earlier this week, he told the Pensacola News Journal that he first thought someone was joking when they yelled at him to, "Get your hands where I can see them."
He said that as he was turning around to face deputies with his hands raised, they opened fire.
"It was like a firing squad. Bullets were flying everywhere," he told the News Journal.
But the deputies involved told a different story.
Meeks fired 12 shots and White fired three times, authorities said. They are now on paid administrative leave. Five of the bullets hit the White Town car, which was parked under a carport in a dark area of the property.
The deputies were in fear for their own safety, according to the sheriff.
"He came out of the car with more of a lunging motion coming out of the car, and the deputies were standing behind him and he had what appeared to be a metallic object in his hand," Sheriff David Morgan said.

We should all pitch in to buy some land and build a "community" on it, away from people. We'll build a garage, with a dyno, and a drag strip and a small road course. Gary, you in?

Went back out after dinner and FINALLY managed to get one of the rear nuts loosened. Couldn't get the bolt to come out though. I got it to turn freely, but it wouldn't budge. Tried lowering the arm up and down with the jack, and that didn't seem to help either. Ended up having to put it all back together though cause I need my car tomorrow. I also need to get some better tools and jack in the mean time.
You live in the Cesspool of crappy people....not sure it could get much worse
