You'd best not be out and about after sundown in Hillsborough County.

A curfew from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. is set to go into effect beginning Monday night after dozens of large gatherings took place over the weekend.

Hillsborough Sheriff Chad Chronister said there were 24 calls to police Saturday concerning large groups getting together and not paying attention to social distancing, and another 14 calls on Easter Sunday.

At a meeting Monday of the Hillsborough Emergency Policy Group, County Commission Chair Les Miller said officials need to send a more urgent notice to people to stop congregating...

Sat. night in Broward on 95, coming home from the epic Proud Boy party, fhp stopped us. A brother was driving and I was the passenger. Bro was speeding and has illegal dark tint. So.....

Mr. fhp leaned in the open pass. window <2’ from me. And asked us why we were out. I was the passenger. And said I was looking for work.

This is BULLSHIT. He was 2’ from me. And questions us about social distancing?????

The question I would like answered: is this group an elected legislative body authorized to pass laws? Certainly doesn’t sound like it is. So any old group of yahoos can get together and tell people that they’re going to get put in jail if they don’t do as they’re told?

I am not commenting on the advisability of these gatherings. I’m commenting on the legality of the prohibition these gatherings. Assuming that we have any laws in this country at all anymore.

I grew up in Tampa and thank Jesus I have been free of it for 40+ years. Still, I think of it as home. Talked with my sister today, who lives there with her husband. Her description of going shopping was out of a ‘end of the world’ movie. Grateful to be living in the boondocks of North Central Florida.

Sipping a Gin & Tonic (the closest I can come to that wonder drug) and enjoying the peace of the night. No curfews/ God is Good!

FHP “troopers” aren’t known for their brains or their civility. My most recent encounter was decidedly unpleasant. And it was the trooper who had the tude not me.

The Karen FB snitches are the worst. They are the type to read stories of a HOA fining someone for some minor thing they had little control over and go “I aspire to be like that some day.” They found that with the ChiCom Virus. A bunch of angry bitter women who can finally do something with their life that is “good” or so they think.

It probably started with a post “After staying in my house for the last 8 days in a row, I finally needed to venture out to get some necessities. After putting on my home-made mask and gloves and going out I was shocked, horrified and dismayed to see the disregard of the Government social distancing mandates at....”

These folks making these arcane rules are bereft of any sense or reason. They crave power and control. This is s travesty which will be addressed.

I have switched to vodka and tonic, myself. But, enjoy your quinine.
