A political argument on Facebook led to a 44-year-old Florida man driving to the home of a stranger he'd been arguing with and shooting and wounding him.
Now Brian Sebring faces felony charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and carrying a concealed gun.
Sebring told the Tampa Bay Times he "just snapped and let primal rage take over" when he left work early on Monday, went home to get his gun and headed to the home of Alex Stephens.
Sebring and Stephens, 46, had never met, though they live in the same neighbourhood.
"I'm not a bad guy," Sebring told the newspaper, "but I mean, this guy threatened to hurt my family, and I went off the deep end."
Sebring said he's probably going to see a therapist now because it scares him that "I could lose my temper like that and do something so stupid."
Sebring told the newspaper that he wrote on the Facebook threat that if someone wants to voice an opinion, "don't do criminal activity, don't get caught, be a productive member of society."
