Victor Licata: Ybor City's Axe-Murdering Marijuana Addict
An American murderer who used an axe to kill his family in Ybor City on October 16, 1933. The killings, were reported by the Press as the work of a

W.D. Bush, city chief detective, said he had made an investigation prior to the crime and learned the slayer had been addicted to smoking marijuana cigarettes for more than six months. However, a day later the Chief of Tampa Police Department downplayed the role the drug had in the murders, although he pledged himself to the cause of marijuana prohibition.

Grant, and two others are accused of intimidating and bribing voters in the 2015 election that led to Grant's victory. In six cases examined, a grand jury found that Grant, Mia Antionette Nowells and James Randolph unlawfully marked absentee ballots or forced people to vote for them, according to the 25-count indictment released Monday. here
Florida GOP Jeff Brandes: Let’s Make a (Corrupt) Deal
An activist group is running a radio ad in the Tampa Bay area against St. Petersburg-based state Senator Jeff Brandes that questions his ethics. The ad from Florida Strong is called “Let’s Make a (corrupt) Deal.” It attacks the Pinellas Republican for receiving campaign contributions from companies like Duke Energy and insurance lobbyists, and then claims that he voted on issues on behalf of those companies at taxpayers expense. here
Florida GOP Ends Prohibition On Slungshots
Scott signed measure HB 4009 that deletes part of state law which has prohibited the manufacturing or sale of a maritime tool known as a slungshot.
The slungshot consists of a weight affixed to the end of a long cord of being wound into the center of a knot called a monkey’s fist. Although the slungshot is a maritime tool, it became an improvised and very effective weapon, widely used by street gangs in the 19th Century.

The bill removed slungshot from the definition of a concealed weapon and also lifts a prohibition of the sale or transfer of a slungshot to a minor. here
