Blaziek, 46, fired nine rounds down the 2500 block of Wimbledon Street on March 7, 2016 after someone that he saw breaking into his truck took off.

Although he didn't hit anyone, Blaziek was charged with misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon.

Lucky he wasn't charged as a Felon.

I wonder how many others would do the same thing "in the heat of the moment". Most of us, if not all, would like to think that calm logic and reasoning would make us realize that this is both unsafe and usually illegal, but would adrenaline take over and cause us to make the same mistake?

Not a eFn chance I'm going to shoot up the street like that!

Blazidic did a truly stupid thing! I can certainly see pumping a couple of rounds into the Porsche as it approached, but no firing at a fleeing suspect!
Mr Blazidic is lucky that he didn't hit anyone, and in Napa, really good that no wine was shot before it's time!
