We came back into town yesterday evening and the whole area around the I75/44 interchange was surrounded by police with several ambulances. Police were stationed at the entrances of all the fast food establishments and traffic was horrific. What gives??

Father's day, together with some sort of car show. Wesh2 just reported on this evening's five o:clock news that they caught the shooter, Wesh said that many of the people who had attended were from Tampa.

There was a youtube recording of the shooting, but it was quickly taken down. This event has been held in that area since at least 2014 according to a google search I did. There was a deadly shooting in 2018 at this event. It is really not far as the Eagle flies from the Village of Buttonwood.

There is no “moving away”. TV isnt a bubble. Crime and violence is everywhere

The world as we knew it growing up has changed radically, I suggest that everyone get a CCL, go to gun range and practice, because you never know if you are in a life and death situation, and instead of becoming a victim you can protect yourself and maybe your love ones. Every day we see on the local news the terrible atrocities committed by criminals and believe it won't affect us, but you can't even go to Walmart, Publix etc., today without some degenerate kook looking to harm someone for no apparent reason.There is no where safe today,so why not be prepared in case a serious situation happens. How sad is it that kids can not go to a party, a bar,a dance, even schools, whatever, without some sort of violence happening. When we were younger it never crossed our mind that a shooting would occur. Like I previously stated, the world as we knew growing up has change radically, and for the worse.

We have chosen to take God out of America and this is what we as a society chosen to take Gods place. We now live in a society where good is called evil, and evil is called good.

The evil have taken god to the devil side of the world. God is not gone, people who promote the devil in the name of god is what is going on. Spewing hate, and ignorance and lies is what makes people turn away from so called christians.

This has not worked. It only exacerbates the situation. What’s that saying about repeating what does work? Something about lack of sanity? We are insane.
