Even if I was unarmed... I would have ruined his day during one of those reloads. Knocked his ass unconscious with his own damn revolver.

Some people REALLY don't like AT&T.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

I would have either ran and stop filming or I would have disarmed him. likely taken cover instead of trying to disarm him. I sure as hell would not film the crazy guy with a gun especially if he was shooting at my property, he may turn it on me.
He didn't like the AT&T work trucks in front of his Hialeah home, so Jorge Jove retrieved his revolver and began shooting out the tires and the engine, police said.
Cell phone video rolled as Jove, 64, calmly walked around the first truck and shot at all four tires. The sound of the air coming out of the tires followed the blast.
Jove then walked to the second bucket truck and began shooting at the front of it, reloading the gun several times. Meanwhile, one of the AT&T workers could be heard calling police to report the shooting.
“He's shooting the truck right now,” said a man who identified himself as Derrick Taylor, a technician with AT&T. “There's a guy shooting the tires and shooting the engines and everything.”
As Taylor spoke to the dispatcher, Jove continued his attack on the trucks.
Hialeah police confirmed Wednesday afternoon that at about 11 a.m. Wednesday, the workers were parked outside 620 SE Fifth Place when Jove walked outside with a gun.
“Apparently the homeowner was upset the trucks were parked in front of his driveway,” said Hialeah Sgt. Carl Zogby in an email.
Taylor, who stood at a distance from Jove, told the dispatcher that another worker could be in danger.
“Someone’s up in the bucket truck and he can’t come down because he’s shooting the truck,” he said.
Charges are pending, Zogby said.

Hialeah... I used to commute right through there if there was an accident on one of the highways. Hialeah is its own kind of place. Not a lot of English spoken there, and not a great place to be an outsider.

That crazy old dude is lucky the cops that rolled up on him didn't come out guns blazing. But I wouldn't be crying for him if they did.
I like his reasoning too. "I'm mad that the trucks are parked in front of my house, so I'll disable them with a gun to guarantee they will be stuck here for a long time."

Yes, because in the grand scheme of things, the way to assure to get the vehicles to move from in front of your home, is to totally disable them.

Other than having these vehicles parked outside his house for a while, what kind of legal penalties will he face? I'd imagine, time in jail?

Don't think I would try to bumrush a shooter during a revolver reload. It doesn't take much to extract the empties and get one or two rounds in.

Considering his buddy was in the bucket and could have been shot that old dude would have been unarmed, bloody and hog tied by the time the cops got there. I would not sit back hoping that crazy dude would not fire at the bucket.
