Having been born and raised in Tampa, and never having missed a State Fair during those years, I wanted to verify my first reaction to the article. After all, I have been away for many years. So, I made a call to a friend in Tampa who is the owner of the famous Prophet Parrot.

We chatted a minute or two and then he switched on the sound in Prophet Parrot’s cage. Having known this parrot since it was an egg, it recognized my voice at once, “Awwwk! How’s the Guru”? When I responded “How’s Prophet Parrot?” he said, ‘Awwk - too many Liberals!”

I asked “What’s wrong with Liberals?” and immediately came “Awwwk, there are like Harvard men, you can always tell one, but you can’t tell them much!”

“Tough being a prophet?” I asked. “Awwwk, You got no idea.”

“What do you think about the Yutes ‘wilding’ at the State Fair?” and back came Awwwk! Lucky Ferals!”

“Explain” I asked. Back came “Awwwk! Didn’t meet your 82 year old friend! Lucky Ferals, Lucky Ferals”.

My friend likes a double stack S&W 9mm and carries three extra magazines. Total of 61 rounds. Parrot knows said friend’s brother was a cop who was on the Police Pistol team. Parrot also knows fiend was waaaay better shot than his brother, so much so that he was listed as a cop so the brother’s department could win the local PD competitive pistol matches.

Lucky Ferals, indeed. In Tampa, there are many CCW permitees, many of which could account for a Feral or three if pushed to defend life or prevent serious injury.

The real issue is what will happen when a crowd of Ferals threatens a disabled person like my friend. He can’t take any beating for fear of his life. Unfortunately, he may be surrounded by a perimeter of dead/dying Ferals if he is ever swarmed by “Yutes wilding” as they did at the Florida State Fair.

What a waste of future Rap stars, drug dealers, and expensive self defense ammunition.
