I'm not going to keep quiet about this. Last November Florida residents defeated the medical marijuana bill at the polls. A Pyrhhic victory at best. On July 19 I wrote a detailed report and submitted it online at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office website. This is the Tampa area of Florida. My report documented the suspected existence of a single family detached residence rental home in our subdivision being used as a marijuana grow house by a drug gang. A tax search disclosed that the property is listed to an Oakland, California real estate management firm known as FETLAR LLC. This property was purchased by them at a bank foreclosure. Without going into detail, the home began displaying the characteristics of a grow house soon after a single solitary massively built Hispanic male driving a brand spanking new Chevrolet pickup took occupancy of the premises about 2 months ago. As of today there has been not a single response from the Sheriff's Office. Neither an online reply to my report, nor a telephone call to me, nor a single drive-by from a deputy sheriff. Just tonight I witnessed the occupant of the rental home walking two absolutely huge pit bulls down the street. Why does one exceptionally muscular man living alone in a rental house on a quiet residential street suddenly purchase TWO pit bulls? That's the kind of buy you make to protect your business after hours. I called the Sheriff's Department local office to report this latest "new acquisition." After speaking with a deputy for five minutes, he hung up on me. I called back but no one would answer the phone. My conclusion is: The new policy in Florida is "hands off" the cartels. We no longer have a law enforcement presence in Hillsborough County. The sheriff's name? The Honorable David Gee. Is he on the take? We know the cartels use bribery in Mexico. We now are allowed to live peaceably and undisturbed--only at the sufferance of the drug gangs who, very well-funded and -defended, are moving into rental homes on the streets where we live. Congratulations Sheriff Gee. Congratulations Governor Scott. Congratulations Jeh Johnson. Congratulations Obama. Enjoy your new-found wealth.

Just which "dangerous folks" have I alerted? No one has my identity or my specific location. Are you talking about the Sheriff's Office? Your sadistic veiled threats regarding my personal safety are inappropriate and tell me that you are one of the ones who aids and abets potential illegality by averting their eyes when they see it just to save their own skin. As an American you have an obligation to your neighbors and community to call attention to criminality if you suspect it is in play. Grow up. And grow a pair. Or move to Mexico where everyone tries to play nicey with the cartels or just shuts up and gets diced and sliced in the process.

Wow - looks like the others were correct and you are nuts and paranoid.
