The guy was riding his bicycle, texting and holding a beer at the same time?

That insight changes the context so I would tend to agree that maybe tazing him might have been a little bit overkill.

Youre poorly informed

Key West is down South?

You are apparentlylacking in knowledge about the Keys

Conchs are from everywhere.

Maybe you think Key West is interchangable with Everglades City

Very little of Florida is down south as anymore goober

Sadly.

But take heart you just made my yankees who suck wall of shame

Hi Anti Freepers!

The only thing left to do then is pack up and move, which probably what ‘they’ want.

Bicyclers puzzle me . I see so many of them completely ignore stop signs and stop lights. They zip right through and I am talking about the serious bicycle rider types. The ones with expensive bikes, helmets and all the right shorts and t-shirts. They might glance both ways quickly but not even slow down. They form big groups of cyclers and do the same thing. Then when one of their own gets killed doing that they put up a ghost bike and flowers so we can all mourn. It makes no sense.

The sad fact is that in person Dinkins is actually a very nice, generous gentleman. A terrible mayor, of course, who did nothing to stop a pogram. What horrifies me today, is the re-elevating of Sharpton who was frozen out of both the Guiliani and Bloomberg administrations. This is not end well.

Key West isn’t down south? I realize it is not southern in culture (I’m sure it once was) but it’s certainly down south on a US map!

Have you ever seen the amazing Weegee photos of drag queens and gays being pushed out of paddy wagons into the Tombs in the “bad old days”?! The Stonewall bar disappeared years ago and yet there’s another bar that now bears that name - and stupid tourists gather there thinking it’s the original...of course, Marie’s Crisis goes on and on, decade after decade.

I’m not sure of when this dopey Stonewall myth took off - certainly it was no Rosa Parks moment at the time.

When did riding a bicycle with a beer in hand go out of fashion in Key West?

Jessie Jackson can be found in his speedo

I think these days he wears a Depend-o model.

Would YOU put yourself in harms way EVERY day, not knowing if you will come home at the end of your shift? I think not.

A fisherman is ten times more likely to die than a police officer, has no pension, is paid less, and works under often terrible conditions. A logger is five times more likely to die on the job. Policing doesn't even make the top ten of hazardous jobs.

Would someone here please let me know the upside of living in a “diversified” Neighborhood. Apparently, the more “diversity” is inflicted upon the Populace, the less “Common Sense” seems to prevail.

Before The One showed up, I never gave a passing thought to such things, now I find myself trying to figure out where I could live and not worry about this stupidity affecting me and my Family.

It’s in an alley behind a Presbyterian church. Cinderblock buildings jammed in together.

You know exactly what she meant by her Heat of the Night stereotype of Key West which was plain ignorance

Key West is mostly yankees and cubans and some bahamian descended

East bloc motel help

Only rednecks are those on cruise ships...a recent blight btw

Yankees just say crap about the south from their own libtard environs

Cause they are oblivious to themselves

Key West is about as southern as Ferguson Missouri

Since were stereotyping cops and white folks south of Cincinnati

should we have only hispanics in hispanic areas? only muslim in muslim areas? only gay in gay areas? maybe even different laws for different colors depending on sensitivity or political leanings?

it’s a slippery slope that leads to balkanization and chaos.

Why must an anglo-saxon nation bow to losing its identity as one of the few sanctuaries for caucasians left on earth?

I never said that other jobs were NOT dangerous so come on back down off your horse.
