"Years ago, some cars in suburban Delray Beach used to display the
bumper sticker, “Pray for me, I drive by Kings Point.”
The barb addressed the perception that many of the senior-citizen
drivers who went in and out of that sprawling condo complex south of
Atlantic Avenue and west of Jog Road were dangerous drivers.
The old bumper sticker may have to be revised.
“Pray for me. I walk a dog at Kings Point," would be a suitable new
warning message.
The proliferation of guns in Florida, where about 2.5 million people are licensed to carry concealed handguns, put lethal firepower in the hands
of an apparent dog-poop vigilante at Kings Point.
Dog walk turns to running from bullets
Kings Pointer Robert Levine, 74, fired five shots at an unfamiliar
fellow condo resident, Herbert Merritt, 64, while he was walking his dog
near the 15th hole of the golf course at Kings Point early one evening
last month, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
Levine, driving a golf cart, pulled up to Merritt, and confronted him
about walking his dog too close to the golf course, according to the
arrest report.
The verbal confrontation took a potentially life-and-death turn when
Levine pointed a handgun at Merritt, who then ran, as Levine pursued him
around a tree in the cart while shooting at the fleeing dog owner, the
arrest report said."
