Eight people were shot during a family-friendly MLK day event in Florida on Monday evening, leaving one person critically injured.

Gunfire broke out soon after 5pm triggering a chaotic frenzy that allowed the shooter to escape. They remained on the loose on Monday night and it is not yet known if more than one person fired.

Those Amish never absorbed the non-violent message of MLK. In my mind, anything with the MLK label is associated with race baiting, grifting and violence.

I don’t disagree at all.

Worst street in every city in America?…

Interesting all the media Reports say it was a family-friendly event. What message are they trying to convey? Sounds to me like even a so-called family friendly event is dangerous.

Did MLK ever explain why 13% of the population commit over 50% of the violent crime?

Nothing says peace and love like MLK day. Guess someone couldn’t read the memo.

Gun fire, screaming “ma babies, ma babies” and idiots laughing. The usual BS. If there’s an MLK Blvd, Rd, St etc anywhere in the country that doesn’t have the highest crime in that city, I’d love to know where that is.

Almost any time certain groups of people gather in large numbers there’s going to be violence.

5% of the population.

Like Chris Rock says, the last place you want to run out of gas is MLK Blvd.

The article said this event happened in Fort Pierce.

IIRC from reading previous FR posts, Fort Pierce is quite the pit. Is this true?

Eight people were shot during a family-friendly MLK day event in Florida...

"Mostly family friendly", apparently....................

[Red Badger]

As Chris Rock once said:

New in town?... Need to score some drugs?.... Just ask directions to MLK Boulevard...................

[Qwapisking]

The message is “NOT havin’ a shootin’ at a fam event is white ‘premacy and racis!”. Looking more true every time.

[iamgalt]

“shot during a family-friendly MLK day event in Florida “

I have nothing to add.

“Fort Pierce is quite the pit. Is this true?”

yes it happened in Fort Pierce, but FP is where the inlet is and it is pretty nice area. Now that being said, yes outside of FP is MLK life.

Gunfire broke out

Funny how gunfire just, "Breaks out".

[V_TWIN]

We’re discussing a culture that has demonstrated in the past that they are willing to gun each other down at wedding and funerals......keeping that in mind, that it happened yesterday is of no surprise to me.

What is a surprise to me is that didn’t happen in my town.........AGAIN.

I really expected to turn on the news this morning and hear that it had.....but thankfully no.

Interesting all the media Reports say it was a family-friendly event.

Did it have trannies and drag queens? Because if its "family friendly" in 2023, its got to have drag queens.
