Angry and an idiot. If you are upset vehicles are parked blocking your driveway, why would the solution be to shoot out the tires so they stay blocking your driveway?

I hope he gets made to pay for all that damage. Those truck tires are likely pretty pricey.

‘Bro, you scared to see a dead person?’: Teens film, mock man as he drowned, police say

About seven seconds into the video, a teenager raises the specter of death.

“Get out the water, you’re gonna die,” one of the teens shouts to a disabled man whom his friends are watching struggle fully clothed in a fenced-in pond. “You shouldn’t have gone in,” says another. The kids laugh.

“He keeps putting his head under,” another says. “Wow.” Once the group realizes the weight of the situation, one of the boys prods another.

“Bro, you scared to see a dead person?” he asks.

Jamel Dunn, 32, drowned on July 9 in Cocoa, Fla., a coastal city east of Orlando. The teenagers, aged 14 to 16, filmed the incident as they laughed and mocked Dunn, then posted the video to social media. The video, which police called “extremely disturbing,” was found by detectives and handed over to Brevard County State Attorney’s Office, which recently released it to Florida Today.

“He started to struggle and scream for help and they just laughed. They didn’t call the police. They just laughed the whole time. He was just screaming … for someone to help him,” Yvonne Martinez, spokeswoman for the Cocoa Police Department, told the paper, which posted only audio of the incident. Both the police department and attorney general’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The teens were identified and questioned by detectives investigating the case, but they are unlikely to face charges. They were not directly involved in Dunn’s drowning, and good Samaritan laws — which typically involve protections for bystanders helping on the scene of an emergency — don’t apply to the case, police said.

I agree... Disgusting.  Seems like they should be held accountable for something, in some way.  I don't know what. But that is horrible.

I read that Tenn. Its awful. And apparently they broke no laws, so nothing will happen to them. Because they were such asses, I expect there will be a new law concerning their behavior in the near future.

Opti-I believe the teens are going to be charged with failure to report a death or something like that. These teens pretty much posted the video right after the guy drowned but the family and police looked for the guy for several days before his body was located and retrieved in the pond/lake.

Minor charge I suppose but that is the best law enforcement can do..

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Two women trashed a Florida Chick-fil-A restaurant during an argument over an order.

Allison Music, who was in the restaurant and posted videos of the tirade online, tells Action News Jax it happened Monday night in Jacksonville. She wrote in a Facebook post that two women beat on a locked door trying to get inside as the store was closing

Video she posted shows the women arguing with employees, tossing condiments on the floor and throwing an object that could be heard breaking in the background.

A police report says the women caused $900 in damage.

Seriously...nine hundred dollars in damage because they got one item in your order wrong? It's a fast food restaurant, not something life-threatening, people!

And then you have these two charmers: Not Flori-duh, but so DUH, I had to include them.
www.wptv.com/news/national/five-children-one-adult-were-found-sweating-inside-u-haul-truck



ELYRIA, Ohio - Two adults in Ohio have been charged with child endangering for transporting children in the back of a U-Haul truck.

Police say the children were sweating from the heat.

Officers were called to a Speedway gas station in Elyria, Ohio around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday after someone reported that the children were in the back of the truck.

A 2-year-old was already being treated for heat exhaustion.

Five children ranging in ages from 2 to 15 years old were found in the back of the U-Haul with 25-year-old Jamie Adkin.

The youngest child was taken to University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center in Elyria before being air lifted to University Hospitals Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland for further treatment.

The other children went to a nearby hospital but didn't have any major injuries. However, the children did have bed bugs, lice and fleas on them, according to the police report.

The witness, a man who works for the City of Elyria, told police that he went inside the gas station to buy a Gatorade. When he walked out, he saw the back of the U-Haul open.

The witness intervened when he saw the children and one adult start to load back into the truck.

Brian Dekam, 55, was driving the vehicle. Adkin's fiancé was a passenger in the front.

Adkin told officers they all woke up around 4:30 a.m. to go to a flea market in nearby Amherst, Ohio. She and the children were driving back to Cleveland when they stopped at Speedway to get drinks.

While in booking, Adkin told officers she was the babysitter for the four younger children, not including the 15-year-old.

Adkin said she has been in charge of the children for nearly two weeks.

The four younger children will be placed in foster care and will await a foster home, according to children services.

Adkin was charged with four counts of endangering children, including one felony of the third degree and three misdemeanors of the first count. Dekam was charged with five counts of endangering children, including one felony of the third degree and four misdemeanors of the first degree.

Both Adkin and Dekam were given a summons for medical reasons and were released with their personal property and charges.

By all that is holy, He's 55 and she's 25. Is it just me, or do they look really run hard and put away so wet, that there is no hope at all? Talk about death on a set of crackers!!!!!!!!!!!!
And she is engaged. Not to the dude in the photo, but someone else actually wants to marry her. Story does not say whose kids they are (the 15-year old could not be hers, obviously, but who knows about the others).  As a condition of her wedding, I say she needs to have her ladybits removed, NO BABIES FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Attractive!  Just the sort I would leave my children with for 2 weeks!  

However, the children did have bed bugs, lice and fleas on them, according to the police report.

And in the back of a Uhaul.
Obviously, they were well cared for.

Toilet Flush Delays Thousands Of Passengers At Orlando Airport

In an incident that was still being investigated Wednesday, a toilet flush at Orlando International Airport in Florida over the weekend reportedly delayed thousands of travelers. Reports stated that an individual attempted to flush items down the toilet, which caused a backup and subsequent sewage leak.

Carpets were pulled up and a hazmat team was called in to deal with flooding. The Orlando Sentinel reported Wednesday that normal operations had resumed Tuesday after days of delayed travel. Officials reportedly found that the items flushed included clothing and packets of paper towels.

www.wptv.com/news/national/polk-schools-accused-of-cafeteria-classism-after-fundraising-letter

LAKELAND, Fla. - Parents at a Florida school are claiming classism in the cafeteria.

A letter, included with Lawton Chiles Middle Academy’s orientation packet, went home but Polk County Schools says it was a mistake.

The school fundraising for PTSA asks for donations, and with a certain amount would give children a pass to the front of the lunch line. A Lakeland father says, that’s not okay with him.

“You got those who can pay and those who cannot,” Christ Stephenson said.

Attending middle school is rough enough so when Stephenson saw the form in his 6th grader’s orientation packet, he went red.

“Hey my dad has more money than you I get to eat first you have to wait you have to wait,” Stephenson speculated what the form would incite from young students....

Is this middle school or Disney World? And whatever happened to selling candy bars, washing cars and just good old-fashioned begging for bucks? Nah, let the parents cough up that big donation. We'll "reward" those kids by letting them be first in line for the Mystery-Meat-With-Slop-On-The-Side Special of the Day.

Agreed!   It was a bad idea from the start. It should never have made it as far as a formal letter. Much less, one that was actually printed up. And then they distributed it?!?   Brilliant!    Just not very.

For years, as part of my job, I had to know airport three letter IDs. Easier for me to write the three letter ID than spelling out the airport name. Same thing with writing times of the day. Easier for me to write the time in 24 hour format than writing 9:26 PM (for example). Easier to write 2136.

Don't tell your Uber driver how to get there or get killed

According to police, shortly after Diaz picked Kimball up Thursday evening the 38-year-old Uber driver pulled into the parking lot of the Quick Pick convenience store in St. Petersburg.

Authorities said Kimball and Diaz had been arguing over the route Diaz was taking. Right after that there was one punch and the victim ended up unconscious. Kimball appeared to be the aggressor. He has been arrested several times for various reasons, including reckless driving, battery, threatening a public servant and disorderly conduct.

A couple transporting a barbecue grill were injured Sunday after their rental sport utility vehicle exploded, Orlando police said.

The couple had the grill in the back of their red Kia Sorento, Orlando Police Lt. Cindy Lane said.

The grill was turned on and the propane tank was open and connected, Lane said.
Police said the wife started to light a cigarette and the SUV exploded.

The vehicle continued heading westbound and crashed into a pole, Lane said.

Dadaille, 39, had an active warrant for his arrest on a fleeing and eluding charge, according to police.

He was arrested Sunday and was being held without bail at the Orange County Jail Monday on that charge and on a charge of resisting arrest without violence.

Police: Fla. drunk driver hits 17 cars while trying to park

DAVENPORT, Fla. - A 25-year-old Orlando man was arrested on DUI charges after he allegedly struck 17 parked vehicles while trying to park his own SUV on Friday, reports CBS affiliate WKMG.

The Florida Highway Patrol said it was called to The Gate Apartments in Davenport on a report of an impaired driver. When they arrived they found a condominium parking lot that could've been mistaken for a junk yard. 

Troopers said Tony Futch was driving a blue 2003 Chevrolet Blazer and struck the 17 vehicles in eight different crashes while maneuvering his SUV around the lot.

Futch was arrested and booked into the Osceola County Jail. Futch, whose license had previously been revoked for DUI in 2013, refused to provide a breath sample, the FHP said.

An estimate of the amount of damage that was caused has not been released.

A Florida woman was arrested for driving while under the influence of alcohol and pills with her toddler in the back seat.

Brandy Lerma was pulled over in West Palm Beach on Saturday. According to deputies, when Lerma got out of the car, she was so drunk she couldn't stand during her sobriety test.

Police were alerted to Lerma's dangerous driving by a tow truck driver who called 911. The man was driving next to Lerma when she flipped him off and proceeded to nearly hit several cars....



I give the tow truck driver props for stopping. Not only because he saved the life of the child in the back seat, but because he looked this creature in the eye. I mean, how could you avoid those?

Florida man’s parents fly in from India to help him beat his wife, authorities say

RIVERVIEW, Fla. — A woman and her child were rescued from an abusive husband and his parents, who allegedly flew from India to help the man beat her, according to USA Today.

The story was first reported WTSP-TV in Tampa.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s department said they were called to a home at 6:30 Saturday morning after being told a woman had called her parents in India and told them she was being beaten and held against her will by her husband and his parents.

The caller told police the woman might have been scared to talk to law enforcement due to cultural traditions.

Police said that when deputies arrived at the home, the occupants refused to answer the door or acknowledge the deputies’ presence.

A deputy continued to knock at the door as other officers waited for a supervisor to arrive. Eventually, a 33-year-old woman suddenly attempted to open the door and screamed for the deputy to save her and her child.

The deputy forced the door open, and was allegedly confronted by the victim’s husband, Devbir Kalsi, 33, who attempted to push the door closed. The deputy forced his way into the home and was arrested Kalsi when he was confronted by Kalsi’s father, Jasbir, 67, and mother, Bhupinder, 62.

When additional deputies arrived, they found the victim was badly beaten, with bruises over her entire body. Her one-year-old daughter was found, apparently unharmed.

An investigation revealed that Devbir Kalsi had called his parents in India and said his wife was being disobedient. The parents allegedly flew to Florida to assist their son in counseling and disciplining her.

Deputies say the parents allegedly helped hold the victim and her child against their will, held a knife to her throat, and took her phone so she couldn’t call for help.

Devbir Kalsi was charged with false imprisonment, felony battery, child abuse and denying access to 911. His father was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, child abuse and denying access to 911. His mother was charged with battery-domestic violence and failure to report child abuse.
