at first I read this as a police chief was actually fired and charged with murder, should have known better
Also, not police chief, but chief of volunteer fire dept. Did it on security camera too. Shoulda torched the place.
Florida also gets morons from all over the country. I have a few neighbors from Boston, one from Wisconsin, from Pennsylvania, Michigan and a shit ton from New York.
Florida Man Accused Of Throwing Hot Dog At Police Officer By Zuri Anderson July 5, 2022 allegedly smacking a police officer with a hot dog, according to The Smoking Gun. Jason Stoll, 47, of New Port Richey, was selling hot dogs in downtown St. Petersburg early Saturday (July 2) when authorities reportedly warned Stoll "numerous" times that he was violating a city ordinance. The 47-year-old man allegedly "ignored the warnings and continued to sell hot dogs in the roadway after the street closure permit ended," according to an arrest affidavit. When the cop asked Stoll to close up shop, that's when the suspect got "extremely upset" and threw the bun and beef at the uniformed police officer, authorities allege. The officer wasn't hurt by the airborne food. Stoll was booked into the Pinellas County Jail and charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, a felony. He got an additional charge of resisting arrest for allegedly struggling with authorities as they tried to take him into custody. The 47-year-old was released the same day after posting a $2,650 bond. This wasn't the first time Floridians used food to attack people. One man was jailed for allegedly throwing hot ramen noodles at a woman. A couple was arrested for throwing spaghetti at each other during a dispute.
Savage Florida Obituary Slams Dead Man For Allegedly Abusing His Wife, Kids By Zuri Anderson July 6, 2022 One obituary published in the Florida Union-Times had no kind words to spare for a father who passed away recently. The obituary didn't waste time calling out New York-born Lawrence H. Pfaff Sr., who died on June 27, for allegedly being a narcissist and an alcoholic. It begins by saying that he lived a life "much longer than he deserved" and that he leaves behind "three children, no four. Oops, five children." The writer even suggests that there may have been a sixth child known to his family and possibly more. The wild obituary goes on to say Pffaf Sr.'s "hobbies included abusing his first wife and children" and that his "path of destruction" left his adult children damaged and "broken." It also detailed the father's 20 years with the New York Police Department, where he reportedly got his badge and gun taken away because of his rampant alcoholism. Despite the horrific recounting of this man's life, the writer indicates that his kids are learning to mend the pain their father inflicted on them. "Lawrence, Sr.'s passing proves that evil does eventually die, and it marks a time of healing, which will allow his children to get the closure they deserve," the obituary concludes. "Lawrence, Sr. can be remembered for being a father to many, and a dad to none."

Ohio Groom Forced To Leave His Own Wedding After Allegedly Punching Guests By Taylor Linzinmeir An Ohio groom was forced to leave his own wedding in handcuffs after allegedly punching one of his guests, according to Ohio officials. The groom's family members and other groomsmen suspected that the wedding guest had made a comment about the bride. The Erie County Sheriff's Office received a call from local police Saturday (August 27) about a fight that had broken out at the Kalahari Resort convention center. Security footage from the time of the incident captured a wedding guest being grabbed by the neck by another man and pushed against a nearby bar. The man was then seen being pushed off camera. One witness told deputies that the best man, a groomsman and a family member of the best man were also involved in the incident. Shortly after, the group entered the camera's frame again as the groom raised his fist and appeared to punch the other man in the face, according to officials. Luckily, people nearby deescalated the situation before it went any further. When the police arrived, they found the groom attempting to fight someone else while others tried to hold him back. Officers arrested the groom, who they said seemed "highly intoxicated" and smelled of alcohol.

As a native South Carolinian, but now live in Cincy - I've seen this in the wild. It infuriates me to no end
We vacationed in Hilton Head in 2017. In one random week in July down there, we ran into three other families we knew from Cincinnati. Im convinced that 60% or more of metro Cincy only vacations in Naples, FL or Hilton Head, except for Spring Break in Destin.
In 2012, my wife and her sisters decided to vacation in Myrtle at a place they stayed as a family when they were kids in 1984. It was like showing up at the run down hotel in Hot Tub Time Machine, except we were stuck with it. This was a massive place too, like five hotel towers, conference center, multiple pools. It was the worst place I have ever vacationed.
Every native Cincinnatian I’ve met seemingly has a house in Hilton Head. It’s astounding. my cousin used to live in Hilton Head and would bitch non stop that every single visitor is from Ohio.
No idea, I forget what it was called and didn’t book it. My girls were 8 and 6 at the time, and as one of the activities, the hotel advertised a clown who would make balloons for the kids at like an 11:00 AM show. The clown was a chain smoker, literally smoking cigarettes while making balloon animals.

Man Tries To Order Hit On Son, Dials Wrong Number, Gets Arrested By Jason Hall March 29, 202 Photo: Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department A Cleveland, Ohio, man who attempted to place a hit on his own son but accidentally dialed the wrong number was sentenced to 18 months in prison, as well as an additional two years of probation following the completion of the sentence, on Tuesday (March 28), Cleveland.com reports. Desmen Ramsey, 58, who had previously pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, received the maximum sentence in relation to the incident. Ramsey was initially charged with two counts of complicity, which could have resulted in a possible life sentence. The incident took place on October 13, 2022 when Rasmey intended to call a friend, identified as 'Jessie,' who was a member of motorcycle club and instead left three voicemails with Budget Dumpster Company in Westlake, according to a transcript read by Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge David Matia. “It’s a five grand hit on him,” Ramsey said in the first message, referring to himself as 'Tommy'. “I don’t give a f--k where he’s at or what he’s doing or who he be with. Kill that b---h.” Ramsey then left a second blank voicemail before calling back and telling his friend to call him back, "ASAP." “It’s business,” Ramsey said. “This ain’t bulls--t.” A Budget Dumpster Company employee discovered the voicemails the following morning and caller ID listed Ramsey's name and phone number. The company's vice president initially called Cleveland Police to report the incident, with the judge describing the department as being "less than helpful" and instead telling the man to contact the FBI field office in Cleveland, who he also described as "less than helpful." The employee contacted Westlake Police and detectives used cellphone tower data to track Ramsey's phone, which resulted in his arrest later that day. The 58-year-old reportedly admitted to making the call while being questioned and said to himself that he was "headed to jail for a drunk mistake" after detectives had left the interrogation room. Detectives also said the man who Ramsey intended to call denied being aware of the plot and claimed he would never commit murder-for-hire.
