Silly, stupid people and apparently bigots too. My uncle was the Sergeant at Arms at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. Sad.

Soldier seriously injured in Florida golf cart fight

By Joel Beall

A soldier that served as a sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery has been seriously injured after getting run over by a golf cart.

According to the Pensacola News Journal, Drew Glover, a U.S. Army specialist, suffered multiple fractures in his leg when a group reportedly ran him over August 12 at Osceola Golf Course in Florida. The Journal reports that a fight broke out between Glover's playing partner and the group involving music.

The person that hit Glover said she was heading to the scene to alleviate tensions when she accidentally ran Glover down with her golf cart. The offending party stated trying to stop, only for the vehicle to continue into Glover when she hit the brakes. The police report remarked, however, there were no marks at the scene showing an attempted stop. The report also said that the group had signs of intoxication at the time of the incident.

For his part, Glover told police officers that the group approached yelling racial slurs and started the fight. He was pinned beneath the cart, eventually able to push the vehicle off him.

The person that hit Glover has been charged with aggravated assault, released on a $10,000 bond.

I'm blaming the music on the golf course, the trigger for the argument.

I'd laugh if it was something like The Insane Clown Posse.   Or Lawrence Welk!   Equally funny....

I think there's a bunch of people that don't really respect the damage a golf cart can do. There have been a few occasions where playing partners of mine have damn near crashed into this or that. One old boy I play with goes full NASCAR and I have to grip the frame to keep from getting ejected.

At this rate, rangers may need to learn course sobriety tests.

If you can get a DUI for driving an electric powered cooler chest on your own property... then certainly driving a golf cart (even if on private property) should carry greater consequences. 

I hope the aggravated assault sticks and she gets the DUI/DWI charge and others if applicable.

There are no cars allowed on Bald Head Island, and I went to college with a guy that got a DUI in a golf cart.
