Hialeah was the home of KC and the Sunshine Band as well.

I guess those he killed and took hostage just didn’t understand the duty to retreat consensus - if they had all been armed, the perp would have died a lot quicker and a few more of the victims would be alive.

...I heard folks in Miami were leaving their car doors unlocked so thieves wouldn’t have to break window to steal the radio...

Walking through a parking lot so many car alarms were going off you just ignored them.
Car backfire? Hit the ground.
My BP dropped 20 points just from moving to NC.
Only thing I miss is the water/Keys.

It has grown a lot. I think it’s now the fifth largest city in the state. And I think it’s about 98% Hispanic. If you don’t speak Spanish, you will have a difficult time living there. I love Cuban food and coffee, though.

KC went to Hialeah High as did I. He was a year ahead of me and I never knew who he was. LOL

And one of the best DE ever, Ted Hendricks, graduated from Hialeah. So did Bucky Dent of the Yankees.

Dent would be named World Series MVP, batting .417 with 10 hits, 7 RBI, and 3 runs scored

He graduated a year ahead of me. He was a football star (running back) in high school but not very big. And so cute. All the girls loved him.

“They got complaints from some neighbor that a situation was going on they went upstairs to do their duty as property managers,”

Per Eric Holder and Barrack Obama, they should have just walked away and not done anything. After all, they had a duty to retreat. /s

You’ve never heard that someone could get killed by someone “taking aim?” Well, I’ll admit that it is not used, but your better marksmanship courses still teach it. “Spray and pray” seems to be the preferred technique these days. But during celebrations, some people like the “I made a shot into the air, where it lands, I know not where.”

That was an awful lot of bangin’. I wonder how many times they actually hit the perp.

Taking aim is one thing. Taking aim followed by a shot is another. The article merely said he “took aim.” I did deduce that he did shoot following the aiming but it wasn’t mentioned in the article. I just wanted to clear that up in case a low information voter was reading it.
