Duval ping!
Was it the one on Lem Turner in Lake Forest?...........
The fast food brick bandit strikes yet another fast food restaurant.
A master criminal. Quite intrepid
Wow, stupid is as stupid does I guess.
Hard to imagine a guy like that ever contributing to society.
I see the media has been refining “Florida man” down to more precise geographic distinctions. lol
Not my side of town brother....only time I’m on Lem Turner is on the way to see my dad at the National Cemetery.
If it’s on the West side of the river I’m not very familiar with it.
725k bond for a brick? He should move to Texas, you can stab a and kill a guy over a chair and it’s only 250k.
Something kind of symbolic about robbing a Burger King in the city that had the very first Burger King. :P
This is a terrific example of having no impulse control......a trait that seems to be very common in a certain ethnicity.
I got fired once.....it never even crossed my to come back and start trouble.
He is a member of the permanent underclass.
If it is the one in Lake Forest, I used to eat there a lot when I was a teenager. A Whopper was 59 cents! And I thought that was very expensive!.............
Burger Kings birth anniversary was June 1. Also, it was founded in Miami where the 1st BK was built.
He should have dropped it at a McDonald's, so he could say, "You deserve a brick today."
Throw hot fryer grease in his face; he was only armed with a brick, fer Pete’s Sake.
Situational awareness works; you almost always have a weapon at hand. ;)
And the burgers were probably twice as big back then
This is why we need universal background checks and a 36 hour cool down period for purchasing masonry.
I wonder what Taco Bell did with the brick.
