You really shouldn't bring a knife to a gunfight. Seriously. The Flagler County Sheriff's Office posted on Facebook:
A Palm Coast man is behind the bars of the Green Roof Inn for an attack involving a road rage incident Tuesday afternoon. 50-year-old Rafael Vincent Rivera is being held on no bond and facing a charge of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon without Intent to Kill.The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) Dispatch Center received six 9-1-1 calls notifying deputies of the armed confrontation occurring at the intersection of Pine Lakes Parkway and Whirlaway Drive just after 1 p.m.Rivera was driving a Silver Toyota Tacoma when the victim says he cut in front of him while he was operating his motorcycle. When the vehicles came to a stop, Rivera exited his vehicle with a knife in his hand.Concerned there was about to be a physical altercation, the victim grabbed his metallic knuckles. After exchanging words, Rivera stepped aggressively toward the victim and began slashing his knife at him. In fear for his life, the victim, who has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, pulled out his firearm. The victim then told Rivera to back away, which he did. The confrontation was recorded by the victim’s passenger.FCSO Deputies arrived moments later and detained both men while they investigated the incident. After viewing the video, interviewing witnesses and both parties involved, deputies arrested Rivera and transported him to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility.“Traffic disagreements should never result in violence in our streets. In this particular incident, the video captured by the victim’s wife clearly shows that her husband’s life was threatened. I applaud the way the motorcyclist handled this situation,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said. “After his life was clearly threatened, he lawfully defended himself and then de-escalated the situation. The offender is lucky he was not shot. I also remind the community to not take traffic enforcement in your own hands and control your anger. Call the Sheriff’s Office instead.”Rivera has been a guest in the Green Roof Inn four different times since 2015 on three felony and four misdemeanor charges involving theft and trespassing.

Catch and release works!
I am familiar with Palm Coast - white trash.
Girlfriend's verbiage says it all - potty mouthed hog hunny,.
Always take a knife to a gunfight. Take a knife everywhere. You never know when you'll need to open a really stubborn bag of Cheetos. My father told me that a man who gets dressed and doesn't put a knife in his pocket is like a man who gets dressed and doesn't put on pants, he isn't fully dressed.
Wow…for a minute I thought I was watching either a Bruce Willis movie or a Bad Boys movie. The “M F” was thrown around so much that I thought those are the only two words the woman knew. But then again, biker babes.
I'm sure that guy is really proud of his wife & her very limited vocabulary!
I'm glad the victim pulled his gun on the crazy guy with a knife.
Knife-dude's attitude changed within a split second when he had a pistol in his face.
(But if only the woman would have kept her mouth shut).
She was distracting "her man", the assailant ... along with those trying to film this fiasco.
FYI. I ride a Harley-Davidson cross country and have concealed carry at all times.
You try to gut me with a fucking knife, I’ll blow your lungs out.
But there's always some damn woman jackin' that jaw and helping egg the entire shitshow along.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes!
Florida man...
Why didn't knife guy get shot??? The gun guy broke the first rule of firearm safety. I wasn't much more than a toddler when the first rule of firearm safety was drilled in to me. Never, point a gun at any object you didn't intend to shoot.
If it has gotten to the point that I have to pull my sidearm, you can bet your ass somebody is getting shot. The time for talking has passed.
got to win the call to 911, great example of criminal the one started it and made it deadly force level calling the police! Left handed draw, cool.
4:09 - Interesting that you have 50 concealed carry permits. Bad ass ain'tcha? (key the music to 409 409 409)
I grew up in Daytona Beach, next door to Flagler. It has always been a dump. Flagler Beach is nice, but the rest of the county is trash.
this sort of thing is a common occurance in the reservoir area of rankin county by punks jacked up on crystal meth and heroine while driving around in their monster pickup trucks .meth heads love to see how many pedestrians and bi-cycliests that they can blow off the road.
they consider a pedestrian or a cyclist to be ''in their way''.
but , there is a least one meth head out there who screwed with a guy on a mountain bike and he's still in the hospital. and still wondering what he got hit with.
well, it was called a sham-bock mr meth head.
I cant tell if 6:55am had a stroke, or maybe I did after reading that.
May 23, 2022 at 7:02 AM; you don't need 50 concealed carry permits. there's this thing called reciprocity. however, i do believe there are some states that would not allow a non-resident to conceal carry. but, that's why you conceal carry, no one knows you're carrying. just don't get searched by the po-po when in an unfriendly state, ie.. new jersey, new york, illinois, california, etc....
I used to be embarrassed by these un evolved creatures. Now I am just sad and angry that this is how humanity ends. And rest assured that it is. You can't breed this kind of stupid out.
O'Biden's America-
Just going to say, it may appear that he was confronted by knife guy, but if you are a dude that carries around brass knuckles, it has been my experience that those dudes are typically looking for a fight. Especially bikers who carry brass knuckles and a pistol.
"punks jacked up on crystal meth and heroine" wrote 7:40.
Yeah, them boys all stoned on a Wonder Woman DVD and snorting some Jane Eyre. Them "punks" are known for that!
I think the only folks "blown away" in Rankin on bikes are the geezers on 14 inch high recumbents who strongly seem have some kind of a death wish involving being hung up under an F250 going 50 mph headed to a construction site.
I can't tell which is a bigger Bad Boy (in his mind), a rightie on a motorcycle with a pistol (let me know how that works) or a millenial militant biker on an expensive toy with a "sham bock."
Sham Wow!!!! Fearsome warriors immune from traffic laws AND the laws of physics. Not.
Grow up, little boys. And get some life lessons before donning Harleys as a Fake Biker.
Still remember a Hinds Co Female deputy telling me to go to Walmart & buy a black toy gun that looked like a real one made out of rubber as 13 year old boys in Byram began breaking into cars & houses. She then told me to pull down the garage door next time they entered by garage when they opened the door to my laundry room peeking to see if they could steal & beat the life out of them. She was Stupid as I replied no because 12 & 13 year olds are carrying real guns. They did get the kids & let them spend the nite in detention 👍
I now hate EVERYONE on this video. Well maybe not Ol Dude with the gun......still though. That old lady of his I imagine is an everyday handful.
11:51......you better call the police. you sound a little upset.
and yes, anyone who rants like that is jacked on meth.
To be as educated in the law as she is you would think she would not be so foul.
One need not be familiar with Palm County to recognize white trash.
to the total green teeth redneck @11;51.....its called a sjambok. goggle it. with a mouth like yours , you will be eating one very soon.
