And you wonder why the county residents want no part of the city, these two are the reason, and the voters who elected them.

Wow, now the Left bullies come out of the closet…even though we always knew you were lurking there, waiting for your one magnificent moment to rally together without fear of being challenged.
Liberal Democrats always appear invincible by loudly exerting deceptions and lies, all based on CNN, MSNBC, Tallahassee Democrat, and The View.
Reasoning with them is futile. Don’t waste precious, limited breaths you have in this life.
Just say “NO” to them…without guilt…then watch them riot and destroy property because just saying NO infuriates them. They don’t see what is happening to MSP, NYC, Chicago, and California.
They don’t care that their antics are causing Tallahassee’s population to migrate out of the city limits.
Let silence do the heavy lifting. Vote for common sense, law and order, and family values.

Prudence, I think its weird that you want someone to focus on what someone does in their bedroom after work hours. Where was your concern when Jack Porter and and Ryan Ray aide to Commissioner Matlow were dating? Where was your concern when Jack Porter and Max Herrle were dating? Where was your concern when she was dating a firefighter or the son of the the President of TMH. Clearly none of these things were brought to light because we can talk about what men do, but never what women do. She isn’t innocent you all just care to focus on digging up dirt on people you don’t like.

If you believe what either Jack or Jeremy say about this incident then you get what you deserve in your elected officials. I grew up here my whole life but moved a few counties away to try to escape this type of lunacy. Same with boys playing in girls’ sports, open borders. Fill in the blank. It’s sad that we have allowed folks that believe this way to lead in any capacity.

Although I may have empathy for Ms. Good’s family and friends as a result of this tragedy, I do not have sympathy for Ms. Good as she made a personal choice to place herself in a situation that went sideways as a result of her choices and ended in tragedy.

The phrase “don’t start no trouble, won’t be no trouble” is often used as a warning against provoking conflict. It implies that if one refrains from initiating trouble, they will avoid negative consequences. Yes, Ms. Good played a self-decided and instrumental role in her own demise.

Sad indeed, but reality always trumps irrational emotions, political narratives, and/or spin.

@Prudence-I’m not calling names, I am stating facts. Learn the difference. Please don’t deflect from the truth. Again, Matlow and Porter did not display Any outrage over the ki*llings of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Kayla Hamilton. Why is that??

Tim Walz signed into law the right of law enforcement to fire at a vehicle that is driven in the direction of a person or another occupied vehicle to stop the movement and save lives of those in its path.

When I was in the third grade, our family was touched by an international incident that I really didn’t understand until MSNBC made a documentary on it many years later.

A family member was a missionary doctor and saw 250 patients a day in the Congo. It was a dangerous political hotbed and he was taken hostage. After a year of my family member and others being held hostage the Belgium Allied Forces went in to rescue the hostages. President Johnson asked if the missionary doctor was okay. President Johnson was told no he did not make it. The family member helped the last person over the fence trying to escape gunfire and my family member was shot and killed. President Johnson was devastated when when he was given the news.

The family member was honored on the cover of Time magazine and the city we lived in awarded my mother the citizen of the year award.

Even though our family and family members were and still are conservatives, President Johnson didn’t take that into account. He didn’t call us names. He wasn’t unkind.

I believe it is fair to report news on all sides. As a conservative I support law enforcement.

I am disappointed in News Maven, Dwight, and August that they have to resort to name calling and not keeping it on a level of integrity and kindness.

I am always amazed when politicians feel it a civic duty opine on incendiary topics that do nothing to promote harmony or quell the fears and angst of their constituents.
Their Pavlovian response to any polemic tragedy is always guaranteed to be one that appeals and appeases to their base.

Notwithstanding, the public is manipulated and gaslighted by the media to provoke outrage on both the right and left. The media are not interested in truth–far from it. It is not to say that there are no honest journalists; however, they are few in number and not easily found by the indolent.

The press chooses which stories to promote and keep before our eyeballs while completely ignoring or burying news that the public should know. I doubt that many Americans know who Miriam Carey is. She was killed by the DC Capitol Police in 2013. It seems that she got confused and found herself lost in the area of the White House. She was struck five times from behind in the hail of bullets fired by police. She had her thirteen month old child in the back seat of the car. The baby was unharmed. This story may have made it through two news cycles if that. No one ever “said her name”. There were no “protestors” demanding justice.

Only stories that promote the destruction of our nation gain traction and remain in the headlines. In 2013 Miriam Carey was just another nearly nameless casualty. Wake up, people! There is an entity that wishes to annihilate our nation–and it’s not Democrat or Republican. These binary forces are mere tools to get the job done.

I disagree. If you’re not shooting they don’t need to either. No on should get shot for driving away.
