Hello Darth,
If FL is a big deal why isn’t the southern border?
College kids will be heading home soon, if they aren’t already; yet from now till who knows when, the border will continue to be admitting tens of thousands of economic refugees and packing kids in the Obama-Trump-Biden cages like sardines. By the OP’s reckoning this is a recipe for disaster.
Yet it’s crickets.
This thread is about Florida. If I choose to comment about the border, I will do it in my
THREAD on the border situation.
Florida's Gov DeSantis has done a terrible job:
"Mar. 24—Florida's spring break debacle — rowdy COVID super-spreader crowds at beaches around the state, at some spots with violence thrown in for special effect — is the perfect showcase for what ails the state's governor: recurring poor judgment.
On March 5, Gov. Ron DeSantis' State of the State Address was a self-back-patting ode to the virtues of having an open state during a deadly, worldwide pandemic.
"We have long been known as the Sunshine State — but, given the unprecedented lockdowns we have witnessed in other states, I think the Florida sun now serves as a beacon of light to those who yearn for freedom," DeSantis said, just in time for the annual ritual of sexed-up boozing and partying on beaches from Panama City to Miami.
Super-spreader party
The governor might as well have stood at the Florida-Georgia-Alabama borders waving a sign that said, "Y'all come down and have your COVID super-spreader party here!"
Young, unmasked and unvaccinated?
No problem.
A high-risk behavior crowd?
No problem.
Panama City Beach, yeah!
The tally there so far: Three people from Georgia arrested in the shooting of a hotel clerk. A Kentucky teen shot dead and his stepbrother injured, 12- and 16-year-olds vacationing with their parents and hanging out alone on the beach at 1:30 a.m., shot by a local man they encountered.
Daytona Beach, yeah!
Some 300,000 in town for Bike Week alone — and more expected!
Clearwater Beach, yeah!
Watch the spectacle of a teenager busting out of a cop car and running down the beach in handcuffs!
Miami Beach, yeah, yeah, yeah, sí, sí, sí, the mother of all parties!
The crowds became so large and unruly here that city officials had to declare a state of emergency over the weekend, impose curfews and close bridges to everyone except residents, hotel guests and workers.
Violence & COVID"
Blame Gov. DeSantis for Florida's COVID super-spreader spring break beach madness
