Golf cart protests intensify in the Villages, as one anti-Trump Florida man receives threat
Orlando Weekly ^ | 1/31/2020 | Solomon Gustavo

"Be very careful if the well being of your family is of importance."

That's the threat Ed McGinty of the Villages said he received in the form of a hand-written note left on his door. McGinty, who was a counter-protester at a recent pro-Trump Villages golf cart parade, evidently has a reputation that precedes him.(snip)

According to Villages-News.com, who refers to McGinty as a "well-known anti-Trump protester," this threat is part of the reason he hit the streets using – what else? – his golf cart, decked out with signs calling Trump all kinds of things: "Hitler And Trump Exactly Same DNA," "Trump Bigot and Racist," "Trump Is A Sexual Predator," "Trump Filthy Pig," and "Trump Compulsive Liar."

On the afternoon of Jan. 28,(snip) He said Sumter County sheriff’s deputies stopped by because so many people called them to complain. McGinty said the deputies told him they couldn't do anything about his protesting and noted he can't impede traffic.

The show-stopper was a cameo by Villager Marsha Hill – honestly, its like self-parody at this point – whippin' a golf cart like skrt. She told McGinty that his signs were "blasphemy" and that he should be locked up. She also said she was going to send footage of the signs to the Trump campaign.

Hill said she was driving by and needed to step to this man. The Sumter deputies were there, too, and heard Hill's complaints. She told deputies that McGinty called her a "pig." Again, the deputies said they couldn't do anything about his protest.

You might see McGinty around. He said he likes to drive his FTD cart ("f--- Donald Trump,") an hour or so every day in his Village of Hadley, to let his very Republican neighbors know.

We recently moved to Ocala from Long Island. My husband is a real estate agent here if you have any questions.

“...Ed McGinty of the Villages said he received in the form of a hand-written note left on his door....”

Guarantee it’s in Ed McGinty’s OWN hand-writing. Poor little drama queen...

He needs to have all the teeth busted out of his mouth, perhaps by a "white Hispanic".

Of course. Leftists can’t help themselves faking hoaxes. Like burning down the Reichstag.

>>Ha—they just start looking younger to you!<<

No, it’s real. Yes, there is some of that eye of the Beholder thing but the overall demo has gotten younger as the first crop or two of Villagers has “aged out”.

I was at the Spanish Springs square in October and the cover band was playing Black Sabbath. The music was entirely different back when I first went when my mom moved in. I realize they are adjusting entertainment but Sabbath appeals to 50-65, not 70+.

Here’s proof: https://youtu.be/iiR0_cAywl0

Black Sabbath was big back to 1970—50 years ago!

But yeah, I can imagine there’d be a wave of turnover with a younger crop replacing the older ones. But it wasn’t that long ago that 50 was considered retirement age and most such communities start at a 55 cutoff. So I imagine you are probably what was the lower end of the prime age when it was first established.
