It is very sad, but I don't think the SO is as responsible as many think.

Re: State Fair
The office stop using magft at the fair and strawberry festival after magft got rough and threw some connected plant city people out of the festival. I wonder if they will bring magft back next year because last Friday night they sure could've used them!

Re: State Fair
I turned on the news this morning and the family was having a vigil for "Pee Wee" who died while crossing I-4 after being kicked out of the fair. A clear indication that the family intends to sue and blame the HCSO as well as the fair authority. Pee Wee was a good boy. He was caught up with the wrong crowd, and just getting his life together. Rather than run a story like this how about you run a story about how he was ejected for participating in a riot, and was stupid enough to cross a 8 lane interstate highway.

I would hope that one day, we can stop pointing fingers and passing the blame game, and start taking accountability for our own actions.... Yeah. Like that's ever going to happen. :roll:

Re: State Fair
Want to point fingers. Why did his parents let him run with the crowd he was running with? Why did the parents allow him to go to the fair without checking it out first to make sure there were not problems on these nights?
Pictures showed him with a cell phone, why did he not use it and call them?

HCSO has become without any doubt the absolute worst law enforcement agency in Florida. They have to pay slightly higher then some of the other agencies just so they can recruit or keep anyone. Even the pay hasn't help recently with attrition and it's not just folks retiring either. Four deputies on my platoon alone are all quitting within the next 5 months to take other jobs and 3 more are retiring. I've given up any hope for this office as long as sheriff Gee is here. It feels like the office is rapidly caving in like a sinkhole. Who will be swallowed up next is the question.

Re: State Fair
Here is another question: Where was the Jail's TACT Team (currently renamed SSD Deputies) at? In years past we use to work the State Fair, Strawberry Festival and all the parades. This could of easily put another 20 to 30 deputies on the ground.
Nice to see all this riot training I got at 34th Street prior to the RNC getting put to use.
