The victim was in the area to meet the buyer of a phone he had advertised for sale online, deputies said.

Deputies said the victim shot at the four people after they tried to rob him. The four would-be robbers fled in a vehicle

Perhaps a Craiglist armed robbery that went well as in the bad guys did not get what they wanted. Tried to get more info, but this one is sketchy and had no sympathetic victim to be milked, so i expect a dismissal from the editor’s attention.

I think Craiglist is the Mos Eisley of interweb sales.  But that is just my very opinionated view… these are not the ads you are looking for.

The deputy obtained a search warrant for Correa’s residence in West Palm Beach, and on March 5, PBSO deputies arrested Correa and at least two other occupants of the house.Officers found a small arsenal that included ammunition, a .38 revolver and a PPS-42 fully automatic machine gun.

From one can gather by the really crappy photo, it seems to be a “Pistolet-pulemyot Sudaeva.”

The question that now begs is, Where the heck did that thing come from? Maybe stolen from some collector of NFA items? A Google search does not show any news item mentioning a PPS or any Russian machine gun. Maybe an import from Central America? Sure as hell it was not bought in the local 7-11. Gunbroker has a magazine for the PPS-42 going for $225 and the ammo is not cheap either averaging $45 per 100 rounds.

PS: Yes, I know there is a PPS-43 pistols in semi version being sold from kit parts before ATF shut down that door. I find doubtful that some gangbangers would take the time to seek an original folding stock and install it to make it look like a regular PPS.

And as bonus, we have the accidental admission by the Miami Herald that there are indeed Gangs in South Florida that might be involved in violent crimes and not the fault of the NRA and Marion Hammer.

Somebody is getting fired.

… than a rifle with a high-capacity magazine. 😀

Headline: Man who shot at George Zimmerman charged.

Picture?

Same news item by the Orlando Sentinel:

I swear George Zimmerman is the Miami Herald’s Viagra.

Layers and layers…..

I have been a fan of Janis since I was a young teen and of Kaleigh since I found out about her in 2011. I had made comments in Facebook about how much Kaleigh Baker reminded me of Janis Joplin, and apparently enough people thought the same she is about to do a little play at the Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival.

You decide if I am wrong.

But just a quick update. It is the longest outbreak recorded (14 months so far. March 2014 to present) and has claimed 11,080 lives or almost five times all other outbreaks together going all the way back to 1976.

About the only “good news” is that it runs about a 50% mortality rate compared to other outbreaks.  That and that is still “contained” in remote areas.

Dear God, keep that biatch over there.
