Breitbart ^ | 11/01/2024 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 11/01/2024 5:29:20 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A 17-year-old is in custody after eight people were shot, two of them fatally, just after 1 a.m. Friday in Orlando, Florida.

FOX 13 reported the incident occurred near an area where “hundreds of people were celebrating Halloween at bars, clubs, and restaurants.” There was the sound of gunfire followed, minutes later, by more gunfire.

The 17-year-old was tackled by officers and apprehended.

WESH noted that Orlando Police Chief Eric Smith indicated the 17-year-old “has a previous arrest record” and that he was not at the Halloween celebration long before alleged opening fire.

Smith said, “He pretty much walked into downtown, walked into the street and did what he did.”

Why are 17-year-olds awake at 1am?

On a school night no less.

Yes marijuana turns pretty much everyone into a mass shooter right?

And “Yoof?” You think that ebonics crap communicates What you want it to? It doesn’t. It makes YOU sound like the dumb one.

Sorry for the victims.
A few of the basic rules were broken here, primarily, #4.
(hint: 4. Avoid crowds)

A minor, a juvenile, a youth, a teen, a child. A student when he is at school. Just a kid. A youngster.

He must have been a very good shot. Is he related to the shooter in Vegas who harmed or killed so many all by himself a few years ago?

The images I have seen showed a packed street. Just pointing into the crowd and he would hit someone, hitting 8 would not be unusual in that situation

You have hit upon an important and often overlooked point. Idle hands are the devil’s workshop.

Many decades ago when I graduated high school (in a rust belt state) there were good jobs galore. The mills were hiring. Factories were hiring. The railroad was hiring.

That’s all gone now. And only Trump talks about bringing industry back. Every other politician just wants to set up more welfare programs.

If we lose next week…it’s all over.

At night, downtown Orlando these days buzzes with activity based on drinking, dancing, dining, and music. Despite a substantial police presence, drug dealing, and fights are common. As you can imagine, Halloween is one of the most well-attended nights of the year. And with a large black community nearby, many of the attendees and most of the troublemakers tend to be black.

I can think of very few places I would like to be less than in that crowd.

I’m sorry, was that sarcasm? I guess you lived a very sheltered life as a 17 year old, there were many times I was out at 1 AM and later. Of course We weren’t going around shooting people or destroying things.

Actually you are the clown if you smoke marijuana or vote to legalize this dope for dopes. My state has a legalization referendum, I just voted no. Sad to say, Trump voted yea.

Are you being clowned by marijuana? As in smoking or eating edibles? I know that some Freepers have not given up this childishness. I smoked some years ago that was ye old low-THC type. Thats all there was. Todays weed can be as powerful as a low dose of LSD. This really ruins young brains of teenagers, that are still developing.
