O’Keefe should try jumping over the fence at the Governor’s Mansion – let us know how that works out.
And Stinkle is getting national attention again for his activist ways. Hope he gets struck down again in the SCOFL.
@ TallyAnti-Patriot… Save it, slick. Your twisted rhetoric is tired. Mental patients have the same rights we all do. Pedo indoctrination books should be banned. Free speech doesn’t mean free from consequences. You evil clowns can still kill innocent babies. Weedheads are easily manipulated… check the mirror on that one.
@ Concerned… 100% dead-nuts-on. Well stated.
@ Frank… CCPP = Coddle the Criminals and Protec the Pedophiles… It’s the Democrat way.
@ John… Elect better Commissioners. I support decriminalization and medical use, but not full-blown recreational. Crashes increase and insurance rates follow.
@ David… 100% correct, and Pizza Boy is a coward.
@ John = Bad Example…….. Commissioner Okeefe knew he was in the Wrong the second he decided to climb over the Fence. He knew he was Trespassing which is against the Law, I bet that’s why Matlow didn’t join him. I am shocked that Matlow didn’t try to stop him.
@Concerned Citizen
You make my head hurt. Why does the Radical Right always think they have an exclusive
on common sense. The hurt speech in Tom Sawyer has no redeeming value, unlike the
enlightened new age prose dealing with real issues of childhood : gender and species identification.
No freedom – no gender equality, as long as we live under that ” concerned patriarch.”
4 county commissioners voted AGAINST decriminalization. PBA no doubt wants to write more tickets and impound more private property over marijuana. Same people said nothing when Dailey, Williams Cox and Richardson tried to arrest David Okeefe for jumping a fence because they like locking people up and increasing their govt’ surveillance powers.
Bob Hinkle…at it again. Protecting the purveyors of the lie and not the victims of the lie.
@Concerned Citizen-Thank you!??
@TallyPatriot
No one is getting their freedoms taken from them. Give it a rest. Some people are just demanding new freedoms to IMPOSE on others. If the Left doesn’t want Tom Sawyer allowed in school(because it uses outdated slurs) it’s OK that the Right doesn’t want books about anal sex shared with elementary students. And if you can’t buy a cigarette or rifle until you’re 21, you shouldn’t be cutting off genitals or breasts or blocking hormones at 6 either. Use some common sense.
Freedom Florida…Except for gay people, books, free speech from corporations, abortions, marijuana, and on and on.
Don’t believe Morgan and Morgan… For the Morgans.
Decriminalization and medical use – Yes
Full-blown recreational use – No
Ron DeSantis starts a new Political Committee to fight marijuana and abortion. Really not doing us any favors locally to make Republicans credible.
This is why he got cooked by Trump in every state.
