Well, the first question is "bath salts?"

Good for him! I love stories like this. btw, was it his dad's eyeball in his pocket? Inquiring minds want to know.

Good for him, but he needs a little more power. A decent karate chop to the Adam's apple should leave an attacker helpless, both hands flailing at his crushed windpipe before he passes out and hopefully dies and saves the taxpayer paperwork and prison expenses...not that I'm ranting or anything...

A good Jack Bauer thigh-shot would have been in order, too!

'You can get run over real bad if you don't protect yourself,' he said.

Police clarified that the gentleman was talking about being a bouncer, not driving in Florida.

Stay off his lawn!

Cheesewiz, Google on the term. The Wikipedia article is a good place to start. "Bath salts" is the street name for a synthetic drug which is similar to methamphetamine, but with horrific side effects, overdose risk, and persistence effects sometimes lasting weeks.
