Nobody has. "right" to air fills. It's a privilege that dive shops provide. If the shops chose to stop filling for this kid, it's their choice and I don't think Bob did anything but allow them to be aware of what this potential customer was doing to the dive site, which could cause them loss of future customers.You can't see it? Dude, I understand how you feel about the GPO, but if you ever went to every dive shop in my city and got me banned from getting fills because I was doing something legal that you didn't like, I would get a lawyer and own your rear and every dive shop the joined in. When it was all said and done I'd own my own boat and compressor and a nice scuba trust fund to last me for the rest of your life.
Personally I can't see how this thread is oven on SB. It is a blatant example of REAL LIFE harassment, stalking, bullying.
Many people confuse "rights" amd "privileges". They are not synonymous.

Haven't read all the responses but I'm surprised nobody picked up on this punk putting a firecracker in the snakes mouth. Isn't this symptomatic of how some psycho's start out? Does Dennis Radar (BTK strangler), Jim Jones, Henry Lee Lucas ring a bell?
Studies have shown that individuals who enjoy or are willing to inflict harm on animals are more likely to do so to humans. One of the known warning signs of certain psychopathologies, including antisocial personality disorder, is a history of torturing pets and small animals. According to the New York Times:
Alan R. Felthous reported in his paper "Aggression Against Cats, Dogs, and People" (1980) that"A survey of psychiatric patients who had repeatedly tortured dogs and cats found all of them had high levels of aggression toward people as well, including one patient who had murdered a boy."[4]
Also...In the United States, since 2010, it has been a federal offense to create or distribute "obscene" depictions of "living non-human mammals, birds, reptiles, or amphibians ... subjected to serious bodily injury".[8] This statute replaced an overly broad 1999 statute[9] which was found unconstitutional in United States v. Stevens.
Well written response and excellent information.
