Sounds like he deserved it

Damn, I only live about 20 minutes from Lake Keowee. This is the first I heard about this.

Sheesh.

"The man, who had been rescued, became agitated and began assaulting the couple on the pontoon," the statement said. "Investigators have been told that the man may have wanted to get back to the Jet Ski."

The rescued woman tried to de-escalate the situation by pushing the agitated man back into the water, the statement said. The couple then helped him back in the boat a second time.

Another confrontation occurred, the sheriff's office said, and the man on the pontoon boat "shot the man fearing for his and his wife's life while being assaulted."


If it was me I would have thanked them and politely requested a lift back to the jet ski instead of trying to assault them. And then like offered to take them out to dinner afterwards.

The story aside, why take a gun with you if you're just enjoying a boat ride with your wife?

The way the country is now, I'd carry a gun too. Way to many wackos out there to trust anyone. I'm thinking the guy was on drugs or something.

In case you happen to rescue a drowning man while out boating and he proceeds to start beating the shit out of you and your wife.

maybe he saw the gun and was afraid he'd get shot by fuckheads who'd bring a gun where fish live

This is my favorite part:
The rescued woman tried to de-escalate the situation by pushing the agitated man back into the water, the statement said.

A notable de-escalation tactic!
