No official word as the why, but apparently the location was known to be a drug distribution point. However a local paper was not shy in describing the who and why and to explain this is the 5th shooting of the yer in that neighborhood.

‎The fifth massacre of the year was staged today’s night in the vicinity of the residential Ernesto Ramos Antonini, in Río Piedras, where winds of war for control of drug trafficking was blowing about a month ago. ‎
The intense shooting that terrorized the area’s neighbors, who picked up on their cell phones the audio of the bursts, was reported past 7:00 p.m. when hitmen opened fire on a group in the communal area. ‎
‎According to information that emerged at the scene which is corroborated by the investigators, the victims could include an individual who was allegedly the target of the hitmen who was suspected of the shooting reported on the Day of Kings in the marginal Villamar on the grounds of a nightclub in the tourist area of Isla Verde‎.

Se registra quinta masacre del año en residencial Ernesto Ramos Antonini

I am still in favor of giving Puerto Rico its independence.

More details have been revealed about the Republican-sponsored proposal being filed in Tallahassee that would restrict who could purchase an assault rifle.
Channel 9 sat down with the state senator who is drafting the law, David Simmons, who said the measure is being put into place to prevent the sale, gift, lease or loan of an assault rifle to anyone under the age of 25.
“The question is how do we deal with this significant crisis today and that is with young men using these assault-type weapons, creating some of the worst crises (and) massacres that we have seen,” Simmons said.
When asked why he didn’t go for a complete ban on assault rifles, he said it’s “not necessary to go that far,” but the draft he intends to file is so that the dialogue can be opened.
Democrat Carlos Guillermo-Smith was among the first to speak with Simmons about the proposal.
“These are weapons of war, made for war and don’t belong in civilian hands no matter the age,” said Guillermo-Smith

Florida Republican proposes gun reform measure limiting who can purchase assault rifles

And the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, no less. Was the Bloomberg money well spread around from Galvano? Is he really thinking Democrats are going to like him more because he is coming up with a “compromise” bill? I think he is for re-election next year and maybe thinking Democrats are going to vote for him rather than their candidate. HA!

Young man walks in a gun store, cash hot in his pocket and approached the counter.
-“Hi, I would like to buy an AR15 like that one.”
_”Sure enough, here. check it out.”
-“Perfect. I’ll take it. .
-“Let’s fill the paperwork. First thing, how old are you?”
-“24”
-“I m sorry, law says I can’t sell you this dangerous weapon because you are too young.”
-“What? I just got out of the Army and I carried an M4 for four years. Suddenly in Florida I am too young and stupid to buy an AR15.”
-“According to our legislators, you are a potential mass shooter and needs to be isolated from this weapons. It is all for the good of the People according to them.”
-“Do it for the Children, right?”

Yes Senator Simmons, it is that stupid. Probably worse.

Hat Tip MiniMe

It is not enough that the Hallmark Channel will start its Christmas Movie avalanche of 40 new Holiday romantic movies in 10 days, but this year Lifetime has decided to go toe to toe against them and on the same date they counter bringing 28 “romance under the snow” films themselves.

And the only counter we have is Die Hard and only allowed for one day.

Guys, we are so boned is not even funny.

PS: The wife is gloating something fierce:

PS: I forgot to explain something. When we got married, we decided that the bedroom was a location where the TV was not going to be allowed.  So basically there is one TV for us to watch (mom has hers) and the TV stays in the living room for all our entertainment needs. For all intents and purposes, our household has only one TV: Hers starting October 25th.

OK, I promise to make one recurrent post per day with all funnies in it rather than go retail. If you are in Facebook you recognize the graphic.

I checked the comments and they are running about 35% in favor of Israel being re-instated. Personally I think the Florida Senate will not reinstate Israel which will be used as rallying cry for his re-election campaign next year.

And Scott Israel will be elected again.

As for the Parkland Parents, unless they toe the line of the Democrat Electoral Machine, ignore the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission official report and support Israel (Blame will go to the NRA, of course) they won’t be able to get any air time in the regular Media or will be called puppets of the Republican Party and the Gun Manufacturers.  Basically their use will be pretty much over and can be safely discarded.

I saw this Tweet and it made me do a double-take.

To explain this whole thing:

Governor Ron DeSantis removed the disgraced Sheriff Scott Israel from office for “neglect of duty” and gross incompetence for his department’s failure to properly respond to both the Parkland shooting and the Fort Lauderdale Airport shooting the year before.

Scott Israel sued the governor and the Florida courts decided that DeSants had the right and justification to fire him.

Florida State Senate Democrats found a Special Master to review Scott Israel’s firing and decided that the Governor and court were wrong and he should be reinstated.

The State Senate now has the ability to vote to overturn DeSantis’ decision and make Scott Israel Broward County Sheriff again.

I absolutely believe that they should vote on this.  It will come down to party lines because DeSantis ran partly on removing Scott Israel and getting to the bottom of the Parkland shooting response.

I don’t believe that the State Senate should reinstate Scott Israel.  But every Democrat state senator will have to answer to why they wanted such an incompetent boob of a Sheriff, who bumble fucked two consecutive mass shooting in two consecutive years, reinstated over the wishes of the parents of the Parkland victims.

It will make the Florida State Senate election campaigns fun to watch.
