[From article]
The mayor of a central Florida city was carjacked while standing outside his home, according to police who said Sunday they were hunting for a third suspect.
The incident unfolded in Sanford. The city made headlines in 2012 after George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin at a gated community there.
Mayor Jeff Triplett was outside around 2:15 a.m. Saturday when three men approached, pointed a gun at him and stole his car keys, police said. They told reporters the suspects also stole Triplett's wallet before driving off in his Mercedes.
Triplett gave a detailed description of the suspects to police and 18-year-old Jermine Jacques Horne and a 17-year-old were arrested a short time later.

The third suspect has not been caught, police said. It was not immediately known if either suspect had a lawyer.
Police eventually found the mayor's damaged car, Fox 35 reported.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in February 2012, said he was defending himself when he killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The case sparked protests and a national debate about race relations. A jury acquitted Zimmerman of murder charges the next year, and the Justice Department later decided not to prosecute Zimmerman on civil rights charges.
Triplett said, "Being a victim of a crime is unnerving, yet it was reassuring to witness both speed and diligence from the Sanford Police Department."
Sanford is about 25 miles northeast of Orlando.

Orlando's Muslim Population Grew Ten-Fold in Past Decade

[From article]
The Muslim community has increased more than 10-fold both in Florida’s Orlando metropolitan area, home to the recent Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL)-linked massacre, and St. Lucie County, where terrorist Omar Mateen hails from, reveals the latest U.S. Religion Census, a county-by-county tally of religious bodies in the United States.
Meanwhile, the number of Muslim congregations in metro Orlando grew 5 times and doubled in St. Lucie County, where the Shariah Board of America-linked mosque attended by Mateen is located.
Data from the U.S. Religion Census shows that the growth in the number of Islam adherents in metro Orlando and in St. Lucie County between 2000 and 2010 far outpaced that of the broader population of Muslims and non-Muslims.
While the overall population in the Orlando region and in St. Lucie County less than doubled over that decade, the Muslim population in those two separate areas grew more than 10 times, respectively.
That means that with every person added to the population, at least ten new Muslims came.
In the Orlando metropolitan area, the number of Muslims skyrocketed from 2,691 (1.3 out of every 1,000 inhabitants) in 2000 to 27,939 (13.1 out of every 1,000 inhabitant) in 2010. During the same period, the number of Islamic congregations in the region grew from four to 20.
The Muslim community in St. Lucie County grew nearly 12-fold to 1,747 (6.3 out of every 1,000 people) in 2010, from 150 (0.5 out of every 1,000 people) in 2000. At the same time, the Muslim congregations in the area grew from one to two.
[. . .]
According to the Center for Security Policy poll, 24 percent of U.S. Muslims agree that “It is legitimate to use violence to punish those who give offense to Islam by, for example, portraying the prophet Mohammed.”

Florida Police Rescue Dog Trapped in Septic Drain

Puppy in peril: Hearing the whimpering cries while on assignment, sheriff's deputies in Florida discovered a puppy in a collapsed septic drain.

[From article]
A dog that was found abandoned in a septic tank in Florida, has been adopted by the police officer that rescued him.
Deputies in Fort Pierce in St. Lucie County were out serving papers at nearby homes when they heard the dog whimpering in the distance.
Upon following the sounds to determine the source, it was found that a puppy had become stuck, neck deep, in a collapsed septic drain.
Thankfully, the officers were able to free the animal which would have surely died sooner or later.
While the dog wanted to get out of the drain, it became agitated when the deputy approached, so officers ended up using a catch pole to drag the animal out of harms way.
Scared and exhausted, the little dog was given several baths to clean him, before police began to stick up fliers around neighborhood in the hope they might be able to track down the original owner.
In the end, nobody came forward to claim the cute canine and so one of the hero deputies decided to adopt the pooch for himself.
'He had been balancing on his back legs to keep his head above the water,' said Deputy James Gettings, who now owns Puddles, to TCPalm. 'I don't know how long he had been in there. His hind legs weren't working once we pulled him out.'
Humane Society staff in St. Lucie neutered the puppy and gave him vaccinations,
After all that was done, the puppy was clean, able to walk again and given a clean bill of health.
Puddles is just a few months old. 'He mostly likes to lounge around,' the deputy said. 'He loves being home.'
Puddles joins Getting's family that includes his wife Rachael, their two-year-old daughter Evelyn, and their basset hound, Lacie.


A dog's life: After the deputy who found the dog and adopted him, the cute little puppy is now living in comfort.

Florida Gentleman Tries To Kidnap Teenage Girl Who Was Shopping With Her Mother

Blaming psychiatry. Yes, that is the cause of crime. All crazy people are violent and dangerous, just ask Hillary Clinton the first woman, blah, blah, blah. All it takes is one psychiatrist or a psychologist employed by police or a crime family to say, "The subject is dangerous and will be violent in the future." Judges enable this misguided abuse of the courts and waste of taxpayer money. Shame, shame on the continued institutionalized slurring of all persons accused of psychiatry, and made up illnesses. The gentleman who tried to kidnap the teen is an evil man, a criminal. 

[From article]
Shocking video footage shows a 30-year-old man trying to kidnap a teenager by dragging her across the floor of a Dollar General store in Florida while her mother desperately tried to stop him.
Craig Bonello was seen shopping in the store when he suddenly grabbed the 13-year-old girl, who was shopping with her mother in Hernando just before noon on Tuesday.
Bonello, who was stopped outside the store by an off duty sheriff's deputy, will be charged with kidnapping and child abuse.
Bonello appeared to be pushing a shopping cart loaded with goods when he circled around an aisle and suddenly grabbed the teenager, whose name is being withheld.
The Citrus County Sheriff's Office credited the girl's heroic mother, who followed Bonello and desperately tried to snatch her daughter in a 'tug of war', NBC reported.
According to WFAA, the mother eventually lay on top of the teen to prevent Bonello from dragging her out the store.
'In my 10 years on the road I have never seen anything like this. He truly intended to abduct this child right in front of everyone in the store,' Sergeant Craig Callahan said in a statement.
'It actually was violent enough to tear the girl's shirt up pretty badly that she was wearing,' Callahan added.
'We're very fortunate that the mother had the motherly instinct and did what she did. She may have saved her daughter's life.'
The manager yelled as Bonello tried to flee, and off-duty deputy Jonathan Behnen happened to be walking into the store after spending the morning in court.
Behnen blocked the 30-year-old's car as he tried to drive off and eventually arrested him.
No one was injured, and an investigation is ongoing.
Bonello's uncle suggested the man was suffering from mental illness, saying: 'It's just sad that this has happened, because this is not the kid that grew up with my kids.
'He needs to talk to some psychiatrists and find out what the issue is,' Tony Bonello said.
Bonello, who has several misdemeanors on his record, was most recently arrested for trespassing at a Walmart in February.

Muslim Instructor at Florida University Advocates Cutting Off Hands Under Sharia Law

[From article]
FAU Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Associate Professor Bassem Al Halabi was included on the panel of these distinguished experts and he made the incredible statement about the case to be made for Sharia Law and it’s provisions of capital punishment, including the cutting off of hands.



‘“Where there is no Sharia, Islamic Sharia, they die in dozens and hundreds every day because of organized crime. People kill people, other people or steal pizza for $10 and so – so when Islamic Shariah is saying about capital punishment – so even though it sounds like it is severe but if that is the solution to prevent any crimes, then it still has a lot of rules and regulations. I will just mention one and stop here, which is let’s say cutting off the hands of a person if they steal. It sounds very severe. It sounds very barbaric, I know. But if takes one or two people to have their hands cut off, and then there’s no more stealing and there’s no more stealing in the whole nation – that’s a much better resolution than having hundreds of people die every day.”

Woman Florida Attorney Disbarred For Taking Drugs, Phone Sex With Inmates

Disbarred Florida Attorney, Linda Hadad

[From article]
The Florida Bar announced Friday it had disbarred a defense attorney accused of taking a slew of illegal drugs and engaging in phone sex with at least two jail inmates.
Linda Hadad admitted she used crystal meth, crack ecstasy, cocaine and marijuana, WFTV reports, adding that she also took Adderall, oxycodone, Xanax and Lortab without prescriptions.
The Volusia County Jail recorded her steamy phone conversations with inmates, according to court documents. In one chat, Hadad reportedly mentioned getting a sex toy.
Police had arrested the attorney last summer after she tried to escape officers who stopped her for an expired tag. Investigators used a helicopter to help find her, The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports. A judge put her on five years’ probation.
Hadad also admitted she used her credit card to rent a vehicle for man who repaid her with more drugs, WFTV adds. She had started her own practice after serving as a public defender, according to the news station.

Black Jacksonville, Florida Officer Fired After Beating Handcuffed White Woman

31-year-old Mayra Alejandra Martinez

[From article]
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—An officer with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office was fired and arrested Thursday after a Wednesday incident after he reportedly punched a female inmate multiple times while at the Duval County jail.
Akinyemi Borisade, 26, worked for JSO from March of 2015 until Thursday and was still on a probationary status with the organization. He is charged with simple battery.
Borisade was caught on the jail's camera pushing the woman, 31-year-old Mayra Alejandra Martinez, up against a wall and then punching her several times after she kicked him.
The Florida Times-Union also obtained dashcam video of the arrest at a gentleman's club on University Boulevard. The video shows Borisade and another officer on top of a woman who is believed to be Martinez, repeatedly striking her.
Martinez was drinking at the club Wednesday afternoon and had reportedly become belligerent, an arrest report said. She was harassing patrons, according to the report. When officers told her she was being arrested, she started swinging.
That's when Borisade allegedly took her to the ground and struck her in the back multiple times, the report said. In the dashcam video, you can see Borisade shove the woman's face repeatedly into the concrete.
Watch the full dashcam video below, courtesy a reader of the Times-Union.
Borisade is charged with simple battery, a misdemeanor. Martinez has since been released from jail.
Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams spoke in a press conference on Friday, about the open investigation concerning the incident.
Williams said that both videos were troubling and a cause for concern. "We don't tolerate that type of activity. We have set that bar for professionalism, we're working hard to make sure that we all maintain that," he said.
There is a duty to report a crime that is seen, said Williams, and JSO is working to find out who are the officers who can be seen standing around in the jail video, seemingly not stopping the officer as he repeatedly strikes Martinez.
The investigation could take a couple of weeks to a month, according to Williams, but JSO is working to find out who the officers in the video work for, and will take disciplinary measures in accordance with policy.
However, the standard is that if a crime is happening, it should be reported and there is a duty of officers to step in.
The investigation continues as JSO looks to see if the right paperwork was filed in a timely manner and if the accounts of the attack corroborate each other. Williams also called for body cameras for officers, saying it would show officers doing good works 99 percent of the time, but help the investigation when things like this incident happen.
Borisade has had previous run-ins with the Sheriff's Office. In 2008, he was arrested for petit theft after trying to steal from a Belk on the Arlington Expressway.
In 2011, an incident report from JSO asserts that he busted out a woman's rear window on her car. Police said that they did not witness the incident and provided the victim with a state attorney's card, which is standard protocol.
Both incidents were misdemeanors, and neither would preclude him from being an officer when he was hired four years later.
Martinez said she is embarrassed at what happened and suffered from a broken wrist. She is now out of the hospital and has hired an attorney.

Florida Catholic School Hears Muslim Propaganda Promoting Discrimination As Higher Priority Than Terrorism and Public Safety

Creepingsharia.com published a report on March 16, 2016 titled Florida: Terror-linked, ex-CAIR Thug Addresses Catholic School Kids. The article reports in part:

Source: Family Security Matters
by PAMELA GELLER

The infamous founder and past executive director of the Tampa chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Ahmed Bedier, was given unfettered access to St Petersburg Catholic High School children to spew and spread his vile hate. If a religious school not only sanctions this deceptive propaganda, but gifts these terror-tied CAIR operatives their own school assembly, what shot do our kids have?

ISLAMIZATION OF AMERICA

Despite the continuing Muslim genocide of Christians in the Middle East and Africa, American Catholic leaders continue not only to turn a blind eye to jihad terror and the persecution of their fellow Christians, but are actively aiding and abetting the forces that are persecuting them. Last month, the entire student body of St. Petersburg Catholic High School in St. Petersburg, Florida, was called together to hear a deceptive presentation on “Islamophobia” from the notorious Ahmed Bedier, who openly supports the jihad terror group Hezbollah and has worked for the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Bedier’s address was ostensibly about fighting the supposedly rising level of “Islamophobia”; he also offered what he presented as a primer on Islamic culture. In it, he blamed the U.S. for ISIS, claiming that the bloodthirsty caliphate arose because we bombed innocent civilians in Iraq. He also called out Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, white people, Jews, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and Ben Carson – all as examples of Muslim-haters – while proselytizing for Islam. Click here to read full report at CreepingSharia.com

Ahmed Bedier:
• Is the leader of the national Islamist organization called United Voices for America. One of United Voices of America’s top issues is to oppose federal legislation that would prohibit American courts from recognizing Sharia law.
• Was the founder and director of the Tampa office of the Council on Islamic-American Relations.
• As CAIR Tampa director, Ahmed Bedier defended Sami Al Arian, who was indicted and plead to federal charges of raising support for a Palestinian terrorist organization. The Tampa Tribune reported in part on April 15, 2006: “Ahmed Bedier, Tampa spokesman for the Council on American Islamic Relations, said Moffitt was wrong about the Al-Arian plea. Al-Arian did not agree to admit to any charges associated with terrorism, Bedier said. He stayed true to his convictions - he stayed true he wasn't going to plead to those issues," Bedier said. "There is no conspiracy to support terrorism. Bedier said he could not reveal what charge Al-Arian agreed to, and he refused to reveal the source of his information. Bedier convened a 7 p.m. news conference, saying he hoped to have Al-Arian's family there. They did not appear.
• As CAIR Tampa director, Ahmed Bedier spoke on behalf of Youssef Megahed one of two University of South Florida students who were arrested for allegedly carrying pipe bombs near the Goose Creek, S.C a naval base and Megahed was arrested later for deportation. The Tampa Tribune reported in part on September 1, 2007 "We have faith in the American judicial system," said Ahmed Bedier, executive director of the Tampa chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations. "So far we've only heard and read about vague language describing an explosive device, but no actual evidence. Until that's displayed it's going to be unclear what's going on."
• As CAIR Tampa director, Ahmed Bedier’s lobbying efforts resulted in the Hillsborough County School Board removing Yom Kippur and Good Friday from the school calendar even after nearly sixty percent of the students (supported by parents) protested by staying home from school on subsequent Good Fridays. The school district reversed their policy after more than half of the student body showed up for school on Good Friday.
Ahmed Bedier made reckless and erroneous statements and disparaged numerous people and institutions who have legitimate concerns about the Islamist political and cultural agenda in America. It was irresponsible to allow his pro-Islamist propaganda to be presented to students.
It is truly disappointing that the St. Petersburg Catholic High School allowed Ahmed Bedier with his Islamist background and agenda to proclaim the bogus evils of Islamophobia to impressionable students.

Florida Deputy Sheriff, Massachusetts Native, Killed By Wrong Way Driver

[From article]
A Florida sheriff’s deputy was killed after his car collided head-on with another vehicle early Saturday, authorities said.
John Robert Kotfila, Jr., 30, was a deputy at the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. He had just left a hospital where he had been working on an investigation when his vehicle collided with the vehicle of a driver who was heading the wrong way on the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway.
Erik Thomas McBeth, 31, of Hudson, was identified as the other driver in the accident and died at Tampa General Hospital, The Tampa Tribune reported. He was heading west on an elevated highway that was dedicated to eastbound traffic at the time and slammed into Kotflia’s 2013 Dodge Charger at around 2:45 a.m. in Tampa.
Larry McKinnon, a Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said the investigation into the wreck is ongoing and a toxicology test will be conducted to determine whether drugs or alcohol played a part in the crash.
Authorities said Kotfila died at the hospital. He had worked with the agency for six years.
[. . .]
According to The Tampa Tribune, Kotfila comes from a law enforcement family. John Kotfila, Sr. told the paper that his son’s grandfathers were both involved in police work. Kotfila Sr. himself is a sergeant with the Massachusetts State Police. His uncle is a deputy in Pinellas County, Fla.
“Both his grandfathers were in law enforcement,” Kotfila Sr. told the paper. Kotfila Jr’s grandfather on his mother’s side was a Massachusetts State Police lieutenant and his paternal grandfather served in the Holyoke, Mass. Police Department.
Kotfila, Jr's brother, Michael, is an officer in Falmouth.

Are Muslim Women Casing Out Jewish Synagogues in Florida?

[From article]
A police report shows two women pulled up in silver Nissan Altima to Beth Israel at 770 W 40th St.
The driver remained silent while the passenger was standing just outside the car.
The woman that was standing outside the car asked, “Did you have services already?”
The people they engaged replied, “Yes.”
Then the woman asked, “When are you saying Yizkor?”
The men found the question unusual because Yizkor is a prayer that is only used a few times a year such as Yom Kippur.
They replied, “We only use it a few times a year.”
The woman then asked, “Do you also get together during the week?”
They replied, “Yes, in the evenings.”
The man questioned didn’t think anything of the whole incident until the following evening when his mother told him about a similar incident occurred.
Lunger, who is involved with the independent security agency that patrols the heavily Jewish neighborhoods of North Miami Beach, is very concerned about the women’s actions.
A picture of what appears to be two Middle Eastern women who walked into several temples and engaged with temple members has circulated in community websites and newspapers.
“Showing the Koran, asking certain questions that raised concerns, enough to alert the police department,” said Lunger.
A similar incident occurred in Miami Beach.
Again, two women pulled up in a car and asked similar questions about meeting times and services.

Miami Couple Charged With Kidnapping Rape Of A Woman

The woman was released by the couple after five days, when the couple took her to a train station on January 22. 

Pictured above is Rosado.

[From article]

The pair met the victim on January 16 at Miami Beach, and the victim willingly spent the night with the couple at their house, WFLA reported.
The following day, Rosado told the victim that she and Forbes 'meet people and commit robberies', an arrest affidavit said.
When the victim tried to leave the home, she was aggressively told not to, the arrest affidavit said.
She was then bound by the legs and arms and prevented from leaving the house for five days, police said.
'[Forbes]' actions, combined with the knowledge hat they commonly commit robberies, placed the victim in fear to leave the residence,' police told PEOPLE.
At one point during the victim's captivity, Forbes tried to have sex with her, and later told Rosado that he had sex with the woman, which prompted an argument between the couple, according to the affidavit.
The couple then ended up attacking the woman, bruising her right eye after striking her multiple times with a cloth belt.

[. . .]

'[Forbes and Rosado] then carried the victim upstairs, placed a sock in her mouth and covered her head with a black sheet,' the report said. [They] placed the victim in a bedroom where she remained throughout the night.'
On another occasion, the woman was forced to perform oral sex on Forbes and then he raped her, the police report said, according to NBC Miami.
The woman was released by the couple after five days, when they took her to a train station on January 22.
She then promptly called the police and Forbes and Rosado were later arrested.

Lawsuit Naming High Ranking Politicians, Prosecutors, Ignored by Mainstream Journalists

Brad Edwards, Attorney


Paul Cassell, Attorney

[From article]
the deal that handed out token punishment to the statutory rapist has been hidden from the public and from the victims themselves:
Federal prosecutors in Florida intentionally kept underage victims of billionaire perv Jeffrey Epstein in the dark about his plea deal, newly unsealed court papers reveal.
The documents also show prosecutors wanted to keep the extent of Epstein’s alleged sex crimes away from a judge reviewing the deal.
[. . .]



This plea involved the slap on the wrist sentence of 13 months -- and he got to spend his waking hours at his Palm Beach mansion. That is, he only had to check into his "jail" eight hours a day.
Note: Epstein slept in a vacant wing of the Palm Beach County Stockade, so he was spared the ordeal of interaction with other prisoners.
[. . .]
Ann Coulter saw the problem a year ago, speaking to Sean Hannity:
This is a really important story. And I so love that you're pitching it just as a Clinton sex scandal, but it is so much more than that. And it's appalling that the only place that covered it last night -- I watched TV, every station -- was Megyn Kelly. God bless her. At least we got it out there. This is not just a Clinton sex scandal; this is the elites getting cozy and covering up and protecting one another. It also involves the Bush administration, it involves Ken Starr, the lawyers for Epstein.
There are some facts that are absolutely known, there are some that are only allegations right now. But the basic story is that Jeffrey Epstein -- there's a major Palm Beach police investigation, a young girl, 15-year-old girl's mother went to Palm Beach police back in 2006 and said my daughter is being paid to have sex with this rich man in Palm Beach. Palm Beach police staged a very detailed investigation without Epstein's knowledge.


Recipient of Sweetheart Court Deal, Billionaire Jeff Epstein, BFF of Bill Clinton 

They went through his garbage, they get sworn statements from about a half-dozen of the victims as well as this slightly older girl who was procuring them. The evidence was quite strong and the same prosecutor that was going after Rush Limbaugh for back pain medication for two years wants to just give him a little ticket, just pay ten dollars and that's enough for having sex with these underage girls, that's of course statutory rape in Florida.
The Palm Beach police went mental after they staged this investigation and put all the evidence together. So they went to the federal government. That's where this case comes involved.
[. . .]



The prosecutors private's lives were investigated and according to the U.S. Attorney they were just pressured, jerked around, everything was appealed. Eventually they get Epstein to agree to plead guilty to a state charge, allegedly sentenced to 18 months, in fact it was 13 months and for 16 hours a day he was allowed to go to his mansion in Palm Beach. So he got basically no jail time. He is a registered sex offender.
[. . .]
A secret agreement was struck. The documents are under seal. A no prosecution agreement against not only Epstein but his lawyers and all these other friends of his. They are suing under that, they can open this case again. They could breach the no prosecution.
That case has been going on since 2008.
[. . .]
And the fact that thus far this has only been covered on Fox News is shocking. This is not a political thing. This is what MSNBC and the rest of the networks have been describing what they thought these fraternities, what they thought the [Duke] lacrosse rape [case was]. This is the elites circling the wagon and protecting a pederast. It's a shocking case and that's just the known facts.
[. . .]
Two teenage victimes of Palm Beach billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have filed court papers asking to depose top federal officials who were involved in inking the secret deal that saved Epstein from serious federal charges.
[. . .]



The victims filed the motion, in part, because of a new argument Assistant U.S. Attorney Dexter Lee made during a routine status check hearing in November.
Lee said the girls aren’t really victims because they procured other minor girls for Epstein and received money for it so they’re not protected under the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act.
[. . .]
Filed in 2008, the lawsuit says the U.S. Attorney’s Office violated the federal Crime Victim’s Rights Act by failing to confer with the victims before signing a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein in September 2007.

Lasting Cultural Changes To Society From Baby Boomers

Dance party: The development has gobbled up more than 20,000 acres (8,094 hectares) of pastureland, hay fields and vegetable farms in three rural counties, dominating most of the historic small towns nearby in both size and population.

[From article]
U.S. baby boomers have been on the planet for nearly 70 years, long enough to reshape almost every aspect of American life. Rock culture, consumerism and political activism are part of their legacy.
So too are the lasting changes they've made to the landscape. The modern American suburb was carved out of the unspoiled countryside around established cities to serve as the boomer nursery. As many boomers remained there to raise their own families, suburbs sprawled outward exponentially, plowing under the forests, farmland and natural habitats and covering the land with asphalt and lawn turf.

At 34 square miles, The Villages is already bigger than Manhattan and approaching the size of central Paris, and it's still growing
The Villages is a self-contained exurb, a housing island sprung like an exotic fruit from rural central Florida, untethered to a city

Ex-FBI Agent, Convicted of Murder, Inarticulate

John Connolly, before his favorite color was orange.

This gentleman Special Agent, was also Director of Security/Public affairs for Boston Edison.


[From article]
Zip Connolly tried to get the Florida state appeals court to overturn his second-degree murder conviction and lost on a 6-4 decision.
Now he must reference the majority’s ruling, only he spells it, at least twice, as “majorities.” Like a modern graduate of Dot High, where he once taught, Zip writes “it’s,” contraction, when he means “its,” possessive.
Zip has degrees from Boston College and Harvard. I’m going to blame his illiteracy on Harvard.

In 1970, as U.S. House Speaker John McCormack approached retirement, he asked his dear friend, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, for assistance for two of his Southie constituents.
No. 1, the Speaker requested, please make a psychopathic bank robber named Whitey Bulger an FBI informant, in order to allow him to continue his blood-soaked spree unimpeded. Request granted!
No. 2, make a local punk named Zip Connolly an FBI agent, so that he could run interference for Whitey as the Bulgers’ reign of terror accelerated. Request granted!
Whitey and Zip have been thisclose ever since. Zip is 75, and Whitey turns 86 in 10 days. Together they reaped millions on cocaine, extortion and murder, but both now claim to be indigent,
in order to get free legal counsel.

Florida Judge Encounters Childhood Playmate As Defendant In Her Courtroom

Is that you? Burglary suspect Arthur Booth suddenly realizes he was childhood playmates with the judge.

[From article]
An unexpected class reunion occurred inside the unlikeliest of places - a criminal courtroom.
Miami, Florida judge, Mindy Glazer, was presiding over the case of a man arrested for burglary and theft on Thursday.
But she suddenly realized she had seen the man before - years ago in middle school.
The judge and the suspect had once been playmates at Nautilus Middle School, reports Local10.
Asking the suspect standing before her if he had attended the same middle school she did, the man instantly perked up and seemed to recognize the judge.
The suspect breaks into a huge smile when he spots his old pal.
But then remembering the embarrassing circumstances of their reunion, he immediately breaks down and repeatedly wails, 'Oh, my goodness! Oh, my goodness!'

CT Police Official Arrested In Florida For Theft of Winning Lottery Ticket From Niece

Michael Royston, 49, Windsor Locks, CT Police Commission Chairman
[From article]
A Connecticut man was busted trying to cash in a winning $520,000 lottery ticket he allegedly swiped from his niece.
Michael Royston, 49, was arrested Thursday at Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. Royston claimed the ticket was a gift but dummied up when asked who gave it to him, the newspaper reported.
Royston’s niece told the cops she had shown her uncle the ticket last month, the paper reported, and a few days later she reported it stolen to Northampton police.
Northampton police did not return calls yesterday.
Royston, who is charged with fraud and grand theft, is free on $1,000 bail.
Royston has since resigned as chairman of the Windsor Locks Police Commission — an unpaid position overseeing the town police department. In a statement, he denied any wrongdoing and said he was stepping down because he didn’t want the arrest to affect the commission.

Thoughtful Florida Gentleman Tries To Hijack Car With Two Armed Policemen Inside

[From article]

A knife-wielding Florida man who attempted a carjacking Thursday night quickly discovered that the vehicle he targeted was an undercover cop car occupied by a pair of armed plainclothes detectives, according to an arrest affidavit.
Dominique Albert, 27, allegedly approached the car on a St. Petersburg street around 9:45 PM and yanked open the passenger door. Albert [. . .] leaned into the auto while holding a steak knife in his right hand.
While Albert’s would-be victims were initially startled by the interloper, they quickly rallied.
“Police!,” shouted Detective Daniel Torok from the driver’s seat as he drew his handgun and leveled it at Albert, who “turned and fled on foot.”


Dominique Albert, 27
Torok and his partner then chased after Albert, who dropped his knife during the pursuit. When the cops caught up with Albert, he “fought Police with violence, but was finally taken into custody after a lengthy fight.” Albert, who allegedly continued to struggle after being handcuffed, stopped resisting after a backup officer “deployed his Taser.”

Miami, Tampa Florida Said To Differ on Hosting Cuban Consulate

[From article]
Officials in Miami want no part of a consulate. Their politically powerful Cuban-American population is heavily influenced by those who fled Fidel Castro's 1959 communist revolution and have campaigned against the Castros for five decades since then, sometimes violently.
Tampa's smaller and politically weaker Cuban-American community was formed generations earlier -- by people who left the island during the era of the Spanish-American War of 1898, which led to Cuba's independence from Spain. And Tampa's leadership sees the opening of relations with Cuba as an economic opportunity, thinking a consulate would enhance Tampa's position.
[. . .]



Many Cuban-Americans in Miami fled the Castro revolution or are descended from those who did; some have relatives who died opposing it or had property seized.
The city has become home to anti-Castro Cuban-American groups ever since, from those involved in the Bay of Pigs invasion to the Brothers to the Rescue group, whose members were killed when their small planes were shot down trying to drop leaflets over the island. Many believe the Cuban Five spy ring, which infiltrated anti-Castro groups in the 1990s, enabled Cuban fighter jets to destroy the Cessnas.
"A Cuban consulate is a headquarters for espionage, so I don't know what city thinks of that as a badge of honor," Ros-Lehtinen said.
[. . .]



the chamber's president and CEO, said Tampa can boast cultural connections with Cuba from the time of Jose Marti, who fought for Cuban independence against Spain and lived in the city in the late 1800s while working on his revolutionary plan. Tampa's Ybor City neighborhood once boasted 200 Cuban cigar factories, and is the birthplace of the Cuban sandwich.
The city's port also has been much more aggressive about courting Cuban business than Miami's, and Tampa's "long historic friendship" with Cuba makes them the best option, Rohrlack said.

Illegal Alien Gentleman, 23, From Mexico Arrested in Michigan, Charged With Rape, Kidnapping 13-year-old Florida Girl

Aurelio Hernandez Gomez, 23, illegal alien from Mexico, arrested in Michigan.

[From article]
On Thursday, Michigan police arrested a Mexican illegal alien, 23-year-old Aurelio Hernandez-Gomez, after finding him with a 13-year-old Florida girl who had last been seen two days before her ordeal.
Cops acted on a tip that led them to a Hartford home where Hernandez-Gomez hid the girl while assaulting her.
Michigan authorities charged Hernandez-Gomez with one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, meaning they believe he raped or otherwise penetrated the girl after incapacitating her or otherwise rendering her helpless. They have not released further details, such as whether or not the victim was related to the alien suspect. Hernandez-Gomez is being held on $150,000 bond in a Paw Paw Michigan jail and will be back in court on Wednesday.
[. . .]
Hernandez-Gomez hails from Chiapas, Mexico, where the sexual age of consent is 12.
