I’m not even gonna get on the high horse about giving kids the ganja. If Florida does legalize weed, will this be the power to bring balance to their state, or will it be the straw that finally gets them nuked? We will answer these and other questions on future episodes of…As The World Burns…Dat Ganja.

Shooting Over Movie Theater Texting Leaves 1 Dead, 1 Injured

An argument between couples over cellphone use at a Florida theater Monday led to one man being fatally shot and woman wounded, according to police who said a suspect was in custody.

Two couples had been watching “Lone Survivor” at The Grove 16 Theater in Wesley Chapel, north of Tampa, when the suspect and his wife apparently took issue with the couple in front of them over use of the phones, Pasco County Sheriff’s spokesman Doug Tobin said.

“It ended almost as quickly as it started,” Tobin said. Someone he described as a Good Samaritan was able to hold the suspect until police arrived.

Charles Cummings was at the theater for his birthday with his adult son and told a group of reporters that the show was still in previews when the two couples started arguing.

Cummings said the man in the back row got up and left the auditorium, presumably to get a manager. But he came back after a few minutes, without a manager and appearing upset. Moments later, the argument between the two men resumed, and the man in the front row stood up. Cummings said the men started raising their voices.

“Somebody throws popcorn. I’m not sure who threw the popcorn,” Cummings said. “And then bang, he was shot.”

Cummings said the man who was shot fell onto him and his son. Cummings said his son went to call 911, while Cummings and another patron who claimed to be a nurse began performing CPR on the victim.

A man sitting next to the shooter grabbed the gun out of his hand, and the suspect did not attempt to get away, Cummings said.

“I can’t believe people would bring a pistol, a gun, to a movie,” Cummings said. “I can’t believe they would argue and fight and shoot one another over popcorn. Over a cellphone.”

Both victims were taken by ambulance to a Tampa-area hospital, where the man died, Tobin said. The woman’s injuries weren’t considered life-threatening.

UPDATE 5:45 p.m. – According to multiple reports, the shooting occurred after an apparent argument over an audience member texting during a screening of “Lone Survivor.”

The suspect was identified as Curtis Reeves, a retired Tampa police officer, according to News 13. He has been charged with second-degree murder.

The Orlando TV station website identified the victims as Chad and Nicole Oulson, a married couple.

http://news.msn.com/in-depth/how-a-13-year-old-became-a-stripper

The girl, a runaway, told police that she had agreed to strip at a Miami Beach club but was forced to turn over her earnings to her pimps.

MIAMI — Strip clubs have been striving to clean up their image. The uproar over a 13-year-old dancer won’t help with that.

It’s early evening, and the dancers are beginning to trickle in to an Art Deco theater in the heart of South Beach, a place with a neon-lit facade that serves a mixed-gender clientele, from local businessmen and high-rollers to tourists, celebrities and swingers.

For more than two decades, Club Madonna, billed as Miami Beach’s only all-nude strip joint, at 15th and Washington, has been known not for what it has, but mostly for what it doesn’t have — a shred of clothing on its dancers or an ounce of booze behind its bar.

A dry club on South Beach is a little like a having a Miami Beach vacation without the beach, a detail that the club’s owner and the city’s political overseers have been at war over since the turn of the century.

But now, the club — long vilified by some as a sleazy blight on the city’s otherwise glittery, iconic image — is getting attention for something entirely new and especially unwholesome, not to mention illegal.

I swear. America is supposed to be the place all these other people are trying to escape to? Bugs Bunny better be wearing a hazmat suit when he goes to cutting, or he’ll end up catching whatever they have. :tdown:

There are worse tales than that in other states. How do you think Cali has so many streetwalkers? Young white girls think they can run away and go there just because they’re mildly cute and land a movie career…then end up turning tricks for food and drugs within a month of arriving. Hell, I bet a good deal of the white slave trade is alive and well in California.

[jimmy1200]

smh at that 13 year old stripper story. even sadder that so many young people come from such broken homes, that they feel its better to run away, then stay where they are at. its truly sad.

actually toledo ohio as of a few years ago was ranked 4th in the nation for human trafficking behind portland, miami, and las vegas. ive been to toledo ohio, its a typical mid west kinda place, with tons of shopping malls, and shitty little clubs/bars that is the only thing to do, and the young crowd flock there. i was there for a week for training, hung out with a local, went to a couple spots and partied a little. you wouldnt think its 4th in the nation for human trafficking at all.

speaking of human trafficking, back to how shitty florida is, and a wild story of human trafficking. im gonna do an exerpt from the reddit thread, and then two links to the story.

There was a pretty infamous case that occurred here in Pensacola, Fl where my friends daughter was drugged and used as a prostitute over a 3 day period. She was found at a gas station by her brother in a one in a million type situation. The guys responsible were heading out of town with her.

When she was taken to the police station, they put her in a room with no windows and a male cop. After her horrific ordeal, she was understandably shaken and begged for her brother to be in the room with her. They told her no and labelled her as a runaway even after the dr said no one could have possibly ingested the level of drugs in her system without being force fed.

She told the cops who did it, they ignored her. The guys work at Pensacola beach to this day and she will occasionally see them around town.

They even made a special about her story on msnbc (shauna Newell).

Is there anything you could do to get the fbi down here? They were obviously trying to traffic her and the escambia sheriff deputy just blew it off to hide the fact that human trafficking happens here.

Miami police were called to a bizarre scene at Northwest Fifth Street and Fourth Avenue Tuesday night: a 6-foot nurse shark in the middle of the road.

Two men were captured on surveillance video just before 7 p.m. Monday, dragging a shark’s body down North River Drive. The video shows the men holding the shark by the tail, dragging it on the pavement toward Casablanca Fish Market.

“It was still moving. The gills were moving and the eyes were moving,” said Jorge Sanchez, the owner of Casablanca Fish Market.

Sanchez pulled up his surveillance video after seeing the same shark on the news Tuesday night, sitting in the middle of an Overtown street, presumably dumped there by the fishermen who tried to sell it to him the night before.

“It was two homeless (men), and I said, ‘What are you guys doing with this shark?’ He said, ‘I got it myself. It’s 87 pounds. I want $10 for it,’” Sanchez said. “I said, ‘That’s not good. I’m not going to buy it,’” Sanchez told Local 10’s Roger Lohse.

Renaldo Martinez, an employee at Garcia’s Seafood Grille and Fish Market, said two men on bicycles also brought the shark to him on Monday and tried to sell it to him for $10.

“They brought it on a bike, tied it to a piece of wood, hooked it onto the bike and brought it here all the way from Key Biscayne,” Renaldo told Local 10.

“It was very weird because usually you see kids with their friends on the bike. In this case, it was a guy with a shark on the handlebars. It was very bizarre,” said Luis Garcia of Garcia’s Seafood Grille and Fish Market.

Renaldo said he turned the men down because he doesn’t buy fish off the street. He told Local 10 that the men then dumped the shark into some bushes before someone else dragged it out onto the street.

According to police, there were reports that the men carried the shark around on the Metromover downtown train. Investigators are working to determine whether surveillance cameras at the Metromover stations captured video of whoever might have taken the shark onboard.

It is unclear whether the shark was alive or dead when it was taken from the water and later dumped.

Officials are trying to find the people who dumped the shark.

“In my 20 years of law enforcement, I’ve never seen a shark in the middle of the street anywhere. It doesn’t surprise me in Miami. I’ve seen all kinds of weird things, but a shark in the middle of the street is something completely unusual,” said Officer Jorge Pino of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. “It’s not a major crime here. It’s something unusual. It’s something that we certainly would like to get to the bottom of.”

Investigators determined that the shark was not a member of a protected or endangered species. Officials threw it back into the ocean on Tuesday night.

The business owners who declined the chance to buy the shark said the fish tale is really a sign of the times.

“I got the sense from watching this guy up close that he was in one of those places in life – he was a very desperate guy,” Garcia said.

Those responsible could face criminal charges, including trying to sell a shark without a license and improperly disposing of an animal, both second-degree misdemeanors.

First there were gators, then came the killer mosquitots and killer giant snails. Now there’s motherfuckin’ sharks in the middle of the street?

Just in case Florida didn’t have enough going against it already (looking at you Florida Man), the state that everybody loves to hate is currently being invaded. No, not by Cuba—by a variety of non-native plants and animals that are wreaking environmental havoc and causing billions of dollars in damage. These are six of the most destructive.

Giant African Land Snails

Giant African Land Snails, or G.A.L.S (technically, Lissachatina fulica) live up to their name. Native to Kenya and Tanzania, these monopods are obscenely huge and, the problem is, they’ve got sex drives and appetites to match.

GALS were initially imported to Florida in 1966 from Hawaii, and have since experienced a population explosion—thanks to their ability to digest over 500 species of local plants and their ability to lay upwards of 200 eggs a year (they’re also hermaphroditic). Adults can measure over a foot long and tip the scales at more than a pound, making them an enticing prize for exotic pet owners. But in the wild, they’re a dangerous pest, out-competing native species for resources and destroying property. GALS have developed a taste for calcium-rich stucco siding, which the snails use to produce their massive shells, and have been known to puncture car tires with their probosces in search of a meal.

Thanks to a concerted effort by the Florida Agricultural Commission—employing specially trained sniffer dogs, bait traps, and community involvement—the snail’s days appear numbered.

Monk Parakeet

Monk Parakeets, introduced to the US in the 1960s as pets, are unusual among the parrot family. Not only are they one of the few species to eat fruit, they are also the only species to build nests out of sticks rather than grasses. What’s more, these nests are communal, condo-like structures that can grow to the size of a small car. And the birds just love building them on top of power poles and electrical substations—where they cause regular power outages, fires, and cost millions a year in repairs.

But even with more than 100,000 individual birds in Florida alone, the Monk Parakeet is not often targeted as an invasive pest. Likely because it’s so much cuter and more charismatic than the other species on this list.

Green Iguanas

Despite the fact that they’re strictly vegetarian, or rather because of that fact, Green Iguanas are among Florida’s most destructive invasive species. While they don’t compete with native lizard species for food, as invasive Nile Monitors do, the iguana’s ravenous appetite can decimate lawns and gardens.

Per the Green Iguana Society:

Green Iguanas in Florida eat shrubs, trees, landscape plants, orchids, and fruits such as figs, mangos, berries and tomatoes. Ornamental vegetation can be decimated by one large iguana taking up residence in a yard. In addition to destroying landscaping efforts, iguanas also cause problems by digging nesting burrows that can undermine sidewalks, sea wells and foundations. Iguana feces are odiferous, unsightly, and may harbor Salmonella bacteria. Because iguanas often prefer to defecate in or around water, it is not uncommon for an iguana to use a private pool as a defecation area. Large adults may be aggressive towards people and pets if they feel threatened.
They also grow to over six feet long and come equipped with big burrowing claws, sharp teeth, and whip-like tails. Generally not something you want to tangle with while drunk.

Like the Monk Parakeet, mass eradication efforts of the Green Iguana are not common—some folks even welcome them as a new addition to the local ecosystem. However, the University of Florida recommends people help control the spread of the species by making their yards less iguana-friendly and treating them like the wild animals they are.

Cane Toads

Cane Toads aren’t just a threat to the local ecosystem—these large amphibians use their stout stature to out-compete, or outright eat, smaller native species. What’s more, the toads are far more toxic than native Southern and Oak Toads. They even pack a poison that can kill or seriously sicken pets.

In addition to building silt fencing to exclude the animals from yards and water features, the University of Florida recommends that if you find a toad longer than three inches in your yard, first positively identify it as a Cane Toad, then kill it dead using the following method:

Purchase a small tube of benzocaine ointment, which is used as a pain-killer for toothaches. There are several well-advertised brands as well as much less expensive store brands (generic brands). Simply take a strip of ointment about 1 inch long (more for very large frogs/toads) and spread it down the spine of the frog/toad from the neck to the tailbone. In 5-10 minutes the animal will be groggy; in 15-20 minutes it should be unconscious, and in about 30-40 minutes the frog/toad will die or be near death. Now put the frog/toad in a plastic container and place it in your freezer for 3 days. This is a humane way to kill amphibians because their bodies go into a state of torpor (metabolism slows way down) — just as they do in cold weather outside.
The freezer bit is to make sure the toad is good and dead, lest you accidentally bury the animal alive.

Burmese Pythons

Alligators used to be the apex predator of the Everglades. That is, until the Burmese Python came along. Introduced in the late 20th century after escaping from, or being released by, exotic pet owners, there are now an estimated 180,000 pythons loose in the Everglades. Their near omnivorous diet of smaller animals (everything from field mice to deer) and their large size—topping 18 feet and 200 pounds—make Burmese Pythons (and related exotic constrictors) one of the top threats to Florida’s ecosystem.

In response, the State of Florida has not only required annual licensing for exotic snake owners and made microchipping the snakes mandatory, but officials routinely hold Nonnative Amnesty Days where owners can give up snakes they can no longer care for rather than dumping them in the swamps.

And for the nearly 200,000 snakes already established in the Everglades, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission holds an annual month-long, state-sanctioned hunting competition, dubbed the “Python Challenge” in every January. Though, last year, the competitors only managed to net 68 snakes in total. Ironically, these snakes are endangered in their native Southeast Asian habitats because of over-hunting for their skins—which are made in to handbags, boots and such—and now they’re being hunted in the Everglades for the exact same reason.

Walking Catfish

We all know what happens when you give a mouse a cookie, but when you give a catfish the ability to survive out of water for days at a time, you’re just begging for trouble. Walking Catfish are native to Southeast Asia, Thailand specifically, and usually make their homes in stagnant pools and rice paddies. The ability to wriggle over dry land (so long as it stays moist) allows these fish to move to other, better feeding grounds when the current pool dries up.

These fish are voracious eaters, consuming smaller native fishes, crustaceans, and their eggs during times of plenty—and they’ll eat just about anything during lean times. They’ve even been recorded walking into aquaculture tanks and eating every living thing inside.

There is unfortunately not much that can be done to stop the Walking Catfish that hasn’t already been tried. The Federal government has already blacklisted all members of the family Clariidae as injurious wildlife, making them illegal to possess without a federal permit. And while their spread north has been halted by the freezing temperatures present outside of Florida, their ability to survive months without food in hypoxic water make the Walking Catfish a formidable foe.

What's Eating Florida? These Six Voracious Species

Florida, where even the parakeets are out to ruin your day.

gross. they need to get it going with some home test kits for these diseases also. i mean yeah you can do a visual check, use a condom, and then get tested to make sure, but with so many dirtballs out here just not giving a fuck and spreading disease and not caring, we need to make sure we can protect ourselves in the moment. i mean even if you see him put the condom on, a mofo could pull it off on a sneak tip while he is repositioning or something, and then bam, all kinds of aids.

it should be punishable by death until cured to give someone hiv, aids. the h’s are gross as fuck too, but hiv and aids is ridiculous. if people knew that once they got caught giving people that shit, that they would get hung and set on fire, i bet they would stick to being truthful and using condoms, or just masturbating for eternity. at least this dude is exposed, so there is no turning back now, but hes been going ham for at least 7 years now. you know how much fucking you can do in 7 years, how much you can spread that shit.

when i see these regular, normal looking dudes spreading hiv, aids, herp derp, etc…, im just like ugh, this is why you can barely have any fun these days. i think of all the women i have enjoyed, and im like you bitches are getting dumber, and you would probably catch the hiv from someone like him. gotta strap up mane, and get tested. even if you have no symptoms, just check every few years at least. never know if your girl or boyfriend cheated on you and you got some shit dormant all up in your blood stream.

humans are so gross. lol. aaaaaaaaah, fucking gross

Detectives fear more victims after officer is accused of uninformed HIV infected sexual intercourse

Ervans Saintclair: Detectives fear more HIV victims following arrest of...

[d3v]

A naked man with “superhuman strength” was shot to death Tuesday night after assaulting a former police officer and biting part of a teenager’s face off.

According to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, the naked man was walking down a road near Delray Beach, Florida when, for reasons that remain unclear, he attacked a 66-year-old former NYPD officer. The retired cop was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries.

Meanwhile, the naked man continued up the road, where he encountered and chased a man walking with his 10-year-old son. Later, the naked man attacked an 18-year-old man, biting his face until the teen stabbed the man with a box cutter or knife. By that time, police officers had arrived on the scene and attempted to Taser the nude man.

“He’s obviously delirious on something,” Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw told the Palm Beach Post. “He is a huge guy. He takes a fighting stance. They’re trying to get him on the ground. He starts charging them. The Taser did not affect him.”

A deputy then shot the man three times, once in the torso and twice in the lower body. The man died later that night at a nearby hospital.

“We don’t know right now if he’s expired from the gunshots, or if he’s expired because of obviously he’s on some type of drugs that have made him act like this,” Bradshaw said. “There’s no way to know if those are the shots that actually killed him, or if he’s died from what they called exited delirium. He’s obviously on some type of narcotics to make him act like this.”

A naked man with “superhuman strength” was shot to death Tuesday night after assaulting a former police officer and biting part of a teenager’s face off.

According to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, the naked man was walking down a road near Delray Beach, Florida when, for reasons that remain unclear, he attacked a 66-year-old former NYPD officer. The retired cop was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries.

Meanwhile, the naked man continued up the road, where he encountered and chased a man walking with his 10-year-old son. Later, the naked man attacked an 18-year-old man, biting his face until the teen stabbed the man with a box cutter or knife. By that time, police officers had arrived on the scene and attempted to Taser the nude man.

“He’s obviously delirious on something,” Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw told the Palm Beach Post. “He is a huge guy. He takes a fighting stance. They’re trying to get him on the ground. He starts charging them. The Taser did not affect him.”

A deputy then shot the man three times, once in the torso and twice in the lower body. The man died later that night at a nearby hospital.

“We don’t know right now if he’s expired from the gunshots, or if he’s expired because of obviously he’s on some type of drugs that have made him act like this,” Bradshaw said. “There’s no way to know if those are the shots that actually killed him, or if he’s died from what they called exited delirium. He’s obviously on some type of narcotics to make him act like this.”

Start at DX. Keep walking until you hit the Chyna Sex Tape, and then keep on going for another 50 miles and you’ll be 1/10th of the way there.

it doesn’t even matter what I think. Everytime I think that florida has reached the limit, the next damn news article runs through that limit worse than Brolly smashing up the Z fighters. My mind ends up floating to the ground, so badly beat up that all I can do is laugh while the next blow comes to shatter the records of the previous one. Florida is just that damn terrible now.

Heh. Well, looks like I was right AND wrong on the dunn case.

He DID indeed get away with the murder. He still got slammed with attempted murder X 3, so he did NOT in fact, “get to walk” as I had predicted. Kinda score one for the good guys?
