Florida Democrat Party Chairman Manny Diaz is resigning from his current position. Diaz said that he regrets stepping down but that he will continue to work to get Democrats elected in Florida.

Will “everyone” include six year old kids?
Thankfully the Governor and Republicans are going to pass Constitutional Carry so EVERYONE will be packing heat. No background checks no license required!
Today’s Leon County Today tv show illustrated how clueless the Leon County Sheriff’s office is. The Sheriff and his detective have two suggestions: at 9pm go lock your car and get their App. Their $759 milion dollar budget has allowed them to determine the majority of crime is on the southside and car key fob batteries go dead. IMO, the law enforcement management team needs replaced. Soft on crime is their playbook.
I’ve been on every continent (even Antarctica) and I’ve worked in almost every state in the Union. Its my opinion that in Tallahassee, you can shoot anyone you want, run as many red lights as you want, drive like a wild Indian with no tag or registration all you want, with very little risk of retribution from anyone outside of a rival gang…
Tallahassee has turned into the wild west, you still wanna defund the popo? haha
Thank you for the DAILEY crime report! Sewage spill report to follow…
“we have to have our community say enough’s enough,” said Chief Revell.” ………… We NEED to have our DA, ADA’s and Judges say enough’s enough and start charging the Shooters the MAX and give them LIFE in Prison. Maybe THEN they will start leaving their Guns at home. It is past time for Sentencing Reform and giving Criminals longer Sentences.
Can’t wait for the $5-million boondoggle to kick in.
Welcome to Tallahassee… where you’ll have the best shot at… um… getting shot
Chief Revell what ever you are doing isn’t working. Someone in Tallahassee, on average, was shot every 3 days in 2022. Pee or get off the pot. Fix the problem or let someone else try.
