ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Central Florida man was ambushed and beaten with an aluminum baseball bat for a $1 bill in a random attack at a busy gas station

Investigators said three men approached Nate Curtis at a Hess station gas station pump located on South Goldenrod Road in Orange County and wanted money.

"They asked me for a dollar and I said, 'I don't have a dollar,'" Curtis said. "Then, I was putting my wallet away and one of them had a baseball bat and hit me across the head. Another guy came out of nowhere and poured beer in my eyes and that was it, I couldn't see because my eyes were burning."

Curtis was then beaten by the men.

Hm. I see the problem here. We must ban baseball bats since they hurt people. How dare we hold people accountable for their actions.

You know they tried banning most everything in Britain, and what did they get out of it? Rocks and sticks in violence, fists, kitchen knives and more, anything people can fashion into instruments of violence they WILL do so irregardless of all the bannings that take place.

Rink, you should know by now when I'm using sarcasm!!

I know that silly, I just HAD to make that point anyhow!

The banning in britain shows bans dont work, all they do is get people to become creative in their violence.

And.... I dont know if they can ban violence either, sicne its such an integral part of the human species psyche.
