You made my point.

I wonder how many Villagers would go to that? I am surprised that Red Sauce has not invited him right or maybe they have?

It's a long article.

The London Daily Mail is the European equivalent of The National Enquirer. Next thing you know they will have "Alien Baby Born to Villages Woman Who Is Cheating on Her Comatose Husband With President Obama" or some nonsense like that. I had a friend send me the article too, and they believed all the ridiculous claims. Its not true, but it hurts our community and is embarassing for us all. People believe this sort of stuff because they want to. It gives their lives some excitement, and many people like to tear down those things that they long for but do not have, like The Villages. We have no choice but to ignore it, and keep living the friendly, wholesome, and productive lives that we live here in TV. And we can stop buying ridiculous tabloid papers. It would be nice if the developer or one or both of the Homeowners Associations would write an article for release that tells the truth about this community, but that also might just stir the fire. We know what we are, and we'll probably have to be satisfied with that.

I also feel sorry for the woman. I don't see why the police couldn't have just told them to pull up their pants and drive them home. It's pretty certain they were drinking.

I do look at the grocery check-out counter rags but have never bought one. And I doubt if many people believe what is in them, they just look at them for a laugh. I do feel compassion for the people targeted by these "journalists" though. And, this type of press has been going on since cave paintings or drawings on Roman Walls making fun of the latest emperor's antics.

The best thing would be for the Morses to just be quiet about this negative publicity. They get good publicity quite often. I seem to see The Villages ads on most golf tournament telecasts.

I share your feelings of sorrow for the woman Happyliz, but I think there must be consequences for lewd and unacceptable behavior or else it (or worse) just happens again. And drinking can not be used as an excuse for breaking the law, or conducting oneself in a manner that shocks the conscience of our community. I think the cops did the right thing.

I think most of the items in the article are accurate. I have single friends who stay out late once in a while and they say it gets pretty crazy late at night. The only bogus part is the std things which was one dr. who has since left saying they had more patients here than in miami.

Kathie probably happily socializes more than anyone I know.
She has been hanging out with the after 9 PM crowd for years and years.
I don't know where she gets her energy, but she always has a great time.

I'm sure there are a few swingers in a city of 100,000.
But it's not the norm.
If The Villages was a den of debauchery, Kathie would know about it.
IMHO, most Villagers are responsible and well behaved.

In my experiences, you are right. But, I do not get out much, like many Villagers.

Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus, Lindsey Lohan, and Beyonce continue to get contracts for millions of dollars for demonstrating/teaching their similar lewd antics to pre-teen and teen girls, and they are adored every day by the very same media. Beyonce is making millions off this trash:

I don't get why you all are embaressed by someone else's behavior. When you get the emails and comments just laugh and say "Yeah, isn't that something?"

This is all about age-ism, if it was a 28 year old sales agent with a 22 year old waiter would it have been as shocking?

Most people that I've talked to are more than a bit surprised that they were arrested and booked. The conclusion most are drawing is that the police went hard on her because of her past DUIs, one of which she was on probation for, or that one or both of them gave the officers a bad time.

Sometimes if the police have dealt with someone on multiple occasions, they will not let them get off as easy as someone who they have never net before.

I'm that one thing in the article is true, although probably not to the extent that it's author would like us to believe is that this has happened before in the Villages. I actually witness it happening at about 10:00 at night on a golf cart about a year ago. It was in a much more secluded place however. I'm fairly confident that the police that run into it before and simply told the participants to pull up their pants and be on their way, along with a stern, "and don't let me find you doing this again or I'll take you in."

Come to think of it, maybe this wasn't the first time that one of them was caught in the act. Who knows, but something had to happen for the police to throw the book at them like this.

I didn't open your link to read it BUT what your post (I'm speaking to the OP here) it sounds like a post that a friend of mine (who lives just outside of T.V.) sent to me. It was pretty negative in my opinion and doesn't exhibit anything that I've observed or experienced here. I'm sure though, there's a faction (and a small one at that) who all this applies to. That said, in any city or town you'll find debauchery. I deleted the post but not without sending a comment to my friend telling her the same things I'm posting here. Her article was from a Tampa newspaper and really it could have angered me as that reporter didn't do "due diligence" to report on the broader citizenship here!!

Good points. I too wondered why the police picked up this couple this time.

The names of the trial of this woman seem like something out of a Saturday Night Live or MadTV skit. Judge Joe Skidmore, Defense Lawyer Joseph Indelicato, and Prosecutor Tina Smith. Have to have a normal name like Tina Smith in there. And, the potential jury members will probably be put in the same jury room with the coffee pot that sounds like a moaning dog. At least, it sounds like that on Monday mornings. I had Jury Duty in Sumter County on May 19, 2014.
