MLK, Jr Park

If you are wondering why that park in Winter Park, Florida is the topic of this post, read here.

The story is this 3 year old kid was playing soccer. The parents think he is the best thing to step on to a soccer field since Messi, and began questioning why the kid was pulled from the game. The coach responds that in that particular league, everyone plays. The parents get irate and make a scene while claiming how the kid is the best player on the team and should be left out there.

They are told to leave, they refuse. The father says you can’t make him leave, he paid hundreds of dollars for his kid to be out there. The cops are called. The parents set up a go fund me:

“It traumatized him, like he’s scared,” she said. “Like he’s scared to play soccer hard that we’re going to get kicked off of the next place.”

In the days since, a GoFundMe connected to the family has gained widespread support. Griffin says the “fundraiser has raised more than $40,000…eventually we’re going to get him overseas to play with people that appreciate his talent and take it as far as we go,”

Keep in mind: he is three. Three.

I used to coach little league football in a league for 6 to 11 year olds. One of the reasons I stopped was the parents. Some of the parents think their kids are too good for the rest of the team, and they will argue with coaches and staff about coaching style and how the team is playing the game, and it’s always that the team needs to revolve around their kid. It’s even worse when you see teams where those sorts of parents are the coaches.

At three years old, it’s impossible to tell if a child is going to be any good once they grow into adulthood, or even if they will WANT to play as an adult. They just want to have fun. The parents that are like this make it not fun for anyone.

Now combine that attitude with “I paid for my kid to play,” along with an attitude of “the cops are the evil enemy,” and “no one can tell me what to do,” then add in a bit of MLJ, Jr Park, and you have a recipe for GoFundMe drama.

Racism?

Today is laundry day here at AreaOcho. I had iHeart radio playing as I was putting the clean clothes away. A commercial came on, and the first words frankly just pissed me off.

I heard this commercial, so now you get to.

Imagine a white dude coming on the radio and saying some stupid, racist shit like that… and know that David Jolly is pushing this racist shit.

Monica

I don’t fully understand how blacks can be so overtly racist while the rest of society actively looks for white privilege, so-called dog whistles, and micro aggression.

It makes me feel as if I am living in a dystopian future on some alternate timeline.

Smug

Some Americans pretentiously think they are better than you because they can pronounce names from foreign languages like native speakers of that language:

Just like the people who insist on pronouncing the name of our current hurricane as if they speak Spanish:

Then there are Americans who don’t give a shit:

Standing Ground

A child gets on a school bus with a pizza. One of his fellow students (a 14 year old feral) by the name of RJ McIntyre decided he wanted a piece and when he didn’t get one, struck the student. The father reported the attack to the bus driver and asked that the “teen” be disciplined.

The next day, dad took his son to the bus stop himself and had another confrontation with the bus driver. The 14 year old called his brother (Trevor Ivory, note the different last names) to the bus stop. Why the 16 year old had to respond from home was predictable- he was already suspended for being a violent little turd. When he arrived, Ivory confronted the dad. That’s when the 14 year old son decided to get off the bus, followed by McIntyre. They both dropped their backpacks and were about to fight while Ivory attempted to hold the father back from interfering.

That’s when the father pulled his son behind him and told the two attackers to get back. The article then says the two “approached” the father. I’m sure they were being calm and not threatening at all. That’s when dad, who has a concealed weapons permit, drew a handgun and told them to get back. This defensive use of a firearm appears to have ended the attack without anyone getting hurt.

Detectives from the Martin county sheriff’s office spent an entire day investigating this and decided that no charges would be filed against the father, and the father declined to press charges against the two ferals. Of course, the two attackers went immediately to the press and acted like choir boys.

They and their families attended a meeting of the National Association of African Convicts and Parolees (NAACP) to vent their frustrations. They are staunchly opposed to white folks being armed. After all, if would be victims are armed, this could severely disrupt the livelihoods of those in the black community. Here is a quote from one of the little criminals:

“I feel like under any circumstance, however you felt, no firearms should be displayed at a bus stop where there’s a bunch of kids on a bus looking forward to going to school,” Ivory said. “Instead, they had to see a man with a gun on two teenagers that they know ride the bus in the morning.”

Those same kids were on the way to school and had to be attacked by negro criminals.

“The dad had a thousand options. He chose the wrong option,” said Pam Ivory, Trevor’s aunt.

It looks to me like the correct option was chosen. He legally displayed his firearm, and the incident ended without harm to anyone. Perhaps your criminal nephew shouldn’t be attacking people.

Jimmy Smith, president of the NAACP Martin County Branch, also addressed the situation:

“We know guns aren’t allowed on school property. They also shouldn’t be allowed in school bus stops,” Smith said.

You know what else isn’t allowed at school bus stops? Little criminals who have been suspended. Still, he is incorrect. The news didn’t care about that, and jumped on the bandwagon by having some idiot lawyer make this comment:

But attorney and former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg said there is another issue at play: Florida law generally prohibits possessing a firearm at a school, school bus or school bus stop, subject to exceptions. “Florida law makes it a low-level misdemeanor to have a firearm at a bus stop. There are some exceptions,” Aronberg said.

Aronberg said one exception involves a firearm secured inside a vehicle.

“Parents can have a firearm in their car during school drop-offs as long as it’s securely encased or not readily available,” he said.

He said that protection can change once someone leaves the vehicle with the firearm.

“But the moment an adult exits the vehicle and steps onto the bus stop with a gun, that vehicle exception expires, and it’s a potential crime,” Aronberg told WPBF.

Firearms ARE prohibited at bus stops, even for CCW holders. However, the law (Florida statute 790.115) also says this:

A person who exhibits any sword, sword cane, firearm, electric weapon or device, destructive device, or other weapon as defined in s. 790.001, including a razor blade, box cutter, or common pocketknife, except as authorized in support of school-sanctioned activities, in the presence of one or more persons in a rude, careless, angry, or threatening manner and not in lawful self-defense, at a school-sponsored event or on the grounds or facilities of any school, school bus, or school bus stop, (emphasis added)

The dad has decided to pull his son out of school to homeschool. I think that is a great option.

I’m Sitting Out the Governor’s Race

In a followup to my post about Republicans, here is a big reason why I won’t be casting my vote in the Florida Governor’s race:

That right there is the Republican nominee in the Florida governor’s race. To the Republican party:

We always talk about a line in the sand. This is one of them. I won’t EVER vote for someone who says I am the enemy. You want to call me a white supremacist? This honky is keeping his Governor’s vote to himself.

His record sucks balls anyhow. He’s been convicted of drug possession, writing bad checks, and who knows what else. This is the best that Florida’s Republican party has to offer?

Being Overrun

To those who keep supporting immigrants, watch as the city commission of Lake Worth Beach, FL disqualifies a candidate for City Manager because he isn’t Guatemalan and doesn’t speak Spanish.

Facebook Jail

I’m sure many of my readers found themselves in Facebook jail or suspended from various social media platforms. I remember when some woke whore tried to get me fired by calling hospitals in Central Florida to find out where I worked, all because I said I don’t use made-up personal pronouns. I’ve been suspended from platforms dozens of times for opposing lefty viewpoints. Now watch this and ask why the same isn’t true of this guy:
