    And now the dad won’t be getting visitation at all for endangering his child. Not real smart move. Another case where the child is used as a weapon to hurt each other. Mom should have done the exchange herself and not sent her boyfriend.

    Almost a shooting every day this month in Pensacola. Where is the Mayor, why isn’t he speaking out on this? Community leaders pretend this isn’t happening and instead tout our beautiful beaches and the Foo Foo festival. Guess what, tourists are not showing up when there is a shooting every day here.

    That poor child. Having to witness that. People need to think about others. How about think about the poor child that was there to go to their other parent. KESUS!

    I was near the McDonalds on Cervantes only an hour before the shooting that started at A and Cervantes started and ending at 9th and Cervantes. A shot hit the building. If they would have started this BS a little sooner I would have been in the middle of it. Makes me sick to think about it. I’m a wife and mother and have people who depend on me, like most others. Innocent bystanders could have been hurt. Sickening!

    @Henry, are you kidding or are you as messed up as this story? An “Ethical reason for shooting him that may make some sense”??? Do you even know the meaning of the work “ethical”? The only reason there ever is for shooting someone is if your life is threatened. Not because you got “disrespected”, not because “he slept with my girlfriend”, but because your life is in danger period. Anything else and you are in the wrong.

    If you do not think this child has been traumatized by this, you must have had one crappy childhood yourself. The only way this does NOT effect a child is if that child has been desensitized to violence by being subjected to it on a daily basis. Much like a police officer gets desensitized to violent crime scenes.

    Didn’t something similar to this happen at the McDonald’s in Cantonment a couple of years ago?

    I can’t wait to hear the rest of this story. I’m guessing the guy who did the shooting was legally in the wrong, but, there may be some ethical reasons for shooting him that may makes some sense.
    I think it is jumping to conclusions to assume the kid was traumatized by the shooting? For all I know it may have been the kid’s idea. I don’t know. We will find out.

    Wow. Keep it classy Pensacola. If you’re so lame that you cant have an exchange without resorting to shoot another human being in front of a child you don’t deserve to have that kid. That is the most selfish thing I can imagine putting a child through.

    I’m sure that was GREAT for the child to see. Way to set an example guys.
