Florida man runs for his life as neighbor chases him in tractor

[k0ua]

I'm surprised by the number of people on here that are okay with a man being chased by a neighbor on a tractor when the man is on his own property.
Albeit tractors are slow, the property owner is clearly feeling threatened.

Is it because the man is fat?

We can debate the theoretical use of force that I brought up, however, no person should have to run from another person when they are on their own property.

No, the point is we don't believe the man on the tractor was "chasing" the fat running man with any malice. My contention is the man on the tractor, took every precaution to NOT injure the fat running man. In other words this could have been a staged encounter. If the tractor operator had wanted to run down and injure/kill the fat man he certainly could have. But he didn't.

He was probably too mad to get it out of low range....

They aren't going to have much of a case, because the scraggly old Santa made no attempt to actually hurt the fat man. if he had wanted to hurt him he sure could have, but he did not. An attorney for Santa will show that he had no intent to hurt the "running man" He was simply following the "running man" on his tractor and never approached him closely at all let alone touch him. The whole thing is just two old pizzed off old men acting like children.

WHAT said he was on his own property?. this was over a property dispute, so he could have been on his neighbor's property, and the neighbor was chasing him off, and I'll bet that tractor can go 20MPH, so, there was no intent on the tractor driver's part to actually run him over..

Police said Morris was arrested after police viewed the video, which showed him, "steer the tractor toward the victim as he was running down his driveway.
