And he is more likely to have stayed in a hotel now that he doesn't live there.

Not if he don’t stay overnight. I’ve been here 9 years and have yet stayed in hotel in Orlando. |

I did not say that he has contributed to the effort. I said it is MORE LIKELY that he contributed to the effort if he no longer lives in Orlando. Yes, that is because it is MORE LIKELY that he stayed in a hotel now that he no longer lives in Orlando. You have not stayed in a hotel in Orlando in the nine years you have lived here. Good for you. I have stayed in Orlando hotels every year I have lived here (except 2020 - Covid). Either way, it is MORE LIKELY that someone who does not live in Orlando would stay in an Orlando hotel - not guaranteed, just MORE LIKELY.

Bail simply is to let innocent people go free while guaranteeing that they will appear for trial. If you don't show you lose your money. So bail is set high enough that it is extremely unlikely you will flee, combined with ankle monitors and pulling passports as needed.

Do you actually believe that the distress about the bombing of WTC was because about 400 responders died and would not have been a problem if only the 2200 civilians had died? My feeling is exactly the opposite. Civilians did not sign up to be in the line of fire. That does not mean I don't mourn the loss of the 400, but they chose a career fraught with risk of death from that career choice. I honor their devotion to service.

HONOR 1. a. : to regard or treat (someone) with admiration and respect : to regard or treat with honor. b. : to give special recognition to : to confer honor on. If I recall we seem to do a lot of honoring of people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time during the holocaust. I for one am 100% OK with that. I am also 100% OK with honoring people who died for absolutely no reason at all other than an individual hated them so much. I'm trying to figure out if I am more amazed or more saddened by the fact that judging from the comments most here in the villages do not feel the same way and this is nothing more than a waste of money and time |

The mass shootings are different in that they happen every day. What I ask is where do we draw the line, 10 deaths, 20 deaths, 50 deaths? Do we spend millions of dollars to memorialize each and every occurrence? How about the thousands of individuals that get killed every day? Do we just forget about them because it wasn't a mass shooting? I just don't understand the logic. |

My opinion - if they've committed a crime in the past, then their next arrest should have another 0 added to the end of their bail amount. Every subsequent arrest should get an additional 0. First arrest is 500? No prob, he's out, plea bargains, goes out and gets arrested for the same thing 3 months later? New bail is 5000. Posts bail and goes out and gets arrested again for something else a week later? Bail is now set to 50,000. And so on and so forth til he's just stuck there. There's a guy who keeps getting caught shoplifting expensive stuff from Home Depot. He's not supposed to be in the store at all, but not every single employee will recognize one person out of thousands who come in every day, that they might never have seen because they weren't working the day he got caught last time. He keeps making bail, getting out, and stealing again. Over and over again. By now, his bail should be around $500,000. And no bondsman should be wanting to go anywhere near him. |

Taxpayers can agree to either a) continue paying for memorials for victims of mass shootings or b) start agreeing on common sense, 2A-respectful gun ownership laws AND enforcement. I'll keep paying my fair share until the vote turns around. I'm all for 2A. I'm also all for common sense gun control. Federal database, fingerprinting, registering, licensing, background checks. No gun bans. If people pass those tests, they can own a Sherman tank loaded with heat-seeking missiles for all I care. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. So we need to legislate better laws to regulate the people since they're clearly not capable of regulating themselves. |
