"On March 4, 1985, Monroe Counto Sheriff's Office Internal Affairs Inspector Mike Young released the results of his criminal investigation. The report concluded that Fortune had consensual (???????) sex with a 17-year-old high school student (boy) on as many as four occasions. On one occasion, Fortune and the boy reportedly spent the weekend together.

The yourg man had been a participant in the Sheriff's Cadet program.

The next day, Undersheriff Lawrence Meggs sent a memo to Fortune: "It has become apparent that you do do not meet the standards of efficiency, morale and reputation required .... for the responsible position of Deputy Sheriff with this department.

Fortune's letter of resignation was short and to the point: " I hereby submit my resignation effective March 5, 1985."

We broke this story in June 2000. the "secret" had been rumored around the Police Department for months, but it had been difficult to investigate.

Sources inside the KWPD speculated that Fortune had been promoted to captain because Avael "had something on him" and could therefore control him." KWTN 1.23.04

And so the demoralization and corruption of our society by homosexuals is clearly seen by all in this article, and will spread to every corner of society. Sad.....

Key West has been a lost cause on this issue for a very long time. Hell, they'll probably have a public orgy to celebrate the news down there.

some wear the black robes of the judiciary ... some the white robes of the Klan

But that doesn't mean that a vocal minority can impose their will upon a moral majority

don't give up the battle

On a related thread

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1089972/posts

The argument was offered that we should worry more about Iranian nukes instead of "trying to moralize" or words to that effect.
The argument came in the form of the trite political cartoon of Bush standing on a giant nuke and railing against a homosexual-couple.

I would submit that this news story is the natural consequence of ignoring moral conduct and denying that sexuality has a moral component.
