For people who do not heeled, New Yorkers (And Jersey people too) have big attitudes and accompanying mouths. That is all fine and dandy if they are in their little Gun Free Zone reservations where they can use physical violence against a weaker subject, but it does not play well in Fly-Over Country.
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – A New York man was shot Saturday after police said he attacked a woman in front of her boyfriend and his young child along Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, police said.
Mamadou Bah, 26, of Brooklyn, faces a charge of battery.
According to the arrest report, Bah had been fighting with a group of unknown men in the 1000 block of Ocean Drive just before 7 p.m. when the couple, along with the 8-month-old child, passed by. The victim’s boyfriend began recording Bah on his mobile phone, causing Bah to become irate and confront the couple, the report said.
Bah then struck the victim with his fists, the report said. The couple tried to retreat, but when Bah continue to lunge at them, the boyfriend pulled out a gun and fired three times, striking Bah in the left arm, the report said.
New York man shot in Miami Beach after attacking woman, police say
I know I am not the only one that think the only reason more of these type of tourist are not sent back in boxes is because we are nice and law-abiding. And since we carry, we already know there is a gun that can get involved in the fight and that is something we don’t want.
I did a quick check, and I found a man from New York City with the same name who was arrested outside Kennedy Airport for having a bunch of dope in his possession.
I guess we have to endure the flapping abusive mouth, but hopefully the message will be sent that laying hands on a mother may cost you an unannounced trip to the ER followed by a stay at the local Pokey Club and Handcuff Boutique.
As for the rest of us, let us not forget that we win nothing by trying to win a silly argument with an idiot. Our final objective is to go home and sleep in our bed that day, safe and sound and with our loved ones close by. Anything else is just trying get an unnecessary ego boost.

Yes. And preferably secured with a Final Recourse that one hopes to not need, just as the couple had.
Bloomberg, maybe Cuomo, and possibly De Blasio are going go to the media to stand up for this exemplar of New York City who was shot by a Gunshine State ruffian.
I guess you can fault the guy for recording the fight, rather than moving on and ignoring it, but it was on a public street. After that point, though, they clearly tried to disengage, but the thug decided to pursue.
And a quick check confirms that “Mamadou” is yet another variation of “Mohammed”.
The “elemento” in south beach has changed so it has become a shithole vacation spot.
The shooters girlfriend needs to buy her boyfriend a range membership for Christmas. And yes, my first thought was that Mamadou Bah sounded muslim and possibly Somali.
Bah is very lucky he was not zipped up in a body bag from this assault.
