Ashley Richardson Of Winter Haven

Police in Winter Haven arrested Ashley Richardson for having left her four children by themselves at a city park while she went to a food bank. To get food. 
To feed her children.

We wonder if there’s anything else these “negligent moms” have in common? 
You know, besides being poor and black, which couldn’t possibly enter into it.
Ms. Richardson if you ever need food to feed your kids, write us.

Bishop Chuck: How we Git r Done in Tampa, Florida

On the orders of city hall 
I was targeted by the Tampa police department. As corroborated in the discovery material obtained from the TPD, the police spared no effort in their campaign to entrap me. They tried to get me involved in the delivery of drugs. I refused. They tried to get me to engage in sex with a prostitute. I refused. They sent an undercover police officer to try to get me to accept child pornography and I refused. Bishop Chuck Leigh

I understand the power of the Tampa mayor and the cruelty of the TPD. I have often told the street people in my neighborhood to refuse to move on when they are rousted by the TPD, but to back off when the police call for backup. I guess when faced with abusive power that is all was able to do.

President Obama: Stop the terror in #Ferguson

Last night, St. Louis and Ferguson police — dressed in camouflage and equipped with armored tanks and military rifles — fired tear gas, rubber coated bullets, and flash grenades at thousands of Black residents 
exercising their right to peacefully assemble and demand accountability for the police killing of 18-year-old 
Michael Brown. 
Local authorities have proven incapable and the federal government must step in.

RIP Robin Williams

RIP Robin Williams
 July 21, 1951 – August 11, 2014
Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most – from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. Barack Obama

The Queen of Versailles

"The Queen of Versailles" was a film documentary based on the sleazy time-share mogul, David Siegel, and his wife, Jackie.  David had major financial troubles following Bush's 2008 economic crises.  He even had to stop work on his private home, dubbed "Versailles", which was to be the largest home in the U.S.  Poor guy. Naturally, Obama was to blame for this.  As you may recall during the peak of the presidential campaign, Mr. Siegel penned a letter threatening to fire all his employees and close down his Orlando-based company, Westgate, 
if Obama was elected. here

Florida Call For An Investigation Into The King Ranch Scandal

Gov. Scott and his legislative allies have allowed sugar industry polluters to foul the Everglades and stick taxpayers with the tab to clean up their mess.
 Is it a mere coincidence they've done this while accepting expensive hunting trips to the exclusive King Ranch in Texas on Big Sugar’s dime? It’s time for Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to quit her partisan antics and get to the bottom of the King Ranch political scandal that has engulfed Gov. Rick Scott and the Republican Party. here

Florida's Culture Of Corruption "Fountain"

Investigate the 2012 death of Mr. Darren Rainey

On June 23, 2012 Darren Rainey, a 50-year-old mentally ill state prison inmate in Miami-Dade County, died after guards responded to his defecating in his cell by locking him into a 180-degree shower for two hours—at which point his skin was separating from his body. 
Local police, and the state, failed to properly investigate. The case was only brought to light in recent months by The Miami Herald. After two years, no one has been held criminally accountable, or even charged.

"He was crying, please stop, please stop, And they 
just said "Enjoy your shower, and left."

Only the U.S. Department of Justice can properly investigate this terrible crime, and a broader culture of abuse in Florida’s prisons that has led to other unnecessary deaths, and which falls especially hard on the mentally ill. here

Tampa Bay—21 Years Ago this Month

On August 10, 1993, three vessels, the freighter Balsa 37, the barge Ocean 255, and the barge Bouchard 155, collided near the entrance of Tampa Bay. Over 32,000 gallons of jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline and about 330,000 gallons of heavy fuel oil spilled from the barges. Despite emergency cleanup efforts, the oil fouled 13 miles of beaches and caused injury to birds, sea turtles, mangrove habitat, seagrasses, salt marshes, shellfish beds,  as well as closing many of the waterways to fishing and boating. here

More Florida GOP BS

Rick Scott has tirelessly touted the evils of the ACA. After it was projected that premiums in the state could go up by 13.2 percent for the 2015 enrollment year, Scott said in a statement that 
“Obamacare is a bad law that just seems to be getting worse,” and “Florida families are going to be slammed with higher costs. Obamacare has failed to live up to its promises in nearly every way.”
Scott didn’t bring up that he and his Republican-controlled legislature have done everything they can to make sure that the ACA fails in Florida. here
