Oh Florida.....

Florida is America's drain. All the trash east of the Mississippi gets sucked down here. Which, when you think of it, is Florida's best excuse for its remarkable ability to generate perverse news. Because most of the people who live here are from somewhere else.

A former Methodist preacher going through a Catholic retreat with me told me this after I told him I moved away from South Carolina: "There are two basements in the United States. South Carolina is one. Mississippi is the sub-basement."

Savage burn from an 88-year old man. Fire and brimstone indeed.

I do like Tampa though. I see why a lot of SOF folks move there.
 
Cassowary kills suspected breeder in Florida

Cassowary kills suspected breeder in Florida

A Florida man who authorities believe was breeding cassowaries has been killed by one of the birds.

Key points:
  • Cassowaries are sought after in the United States by collectors of exotic birds
  • Florida requires owners to have a permit and "substanial experience" dealing with birds
  • It is believed the man was fatally attacked after falling over


The large, flightless birds are native to Australia and the island of New Guinea, but are sought after by collectors of exotic birds in the United States.

Regarded as the world's most dangerous bird, they stand up to 1.8 metres tall, can weigh up to 60 kilograms, and they have a 10-centimetre, dagger-like claw on each foot.

The Alachua County Fire Rescue Department told the Gainesville Sun a cassowary likely injured the man using its long claws.

He was taken to hospital where he later died.

"It looks like it was accidental. My understanding is that the gentleman was in the vicinity of the bird and at some point fell," Deputy Chief Jeff Taylor told the newspaper.

"When he fell, he was attacked."

The county sheriff's office identified the victim as Marvin Hajos, 75, and said an investigation into his death had been opened.

"Initial information indicates that this was a tragic accident for Mr Hajos," Brett Rhodenizer, a sheriff's office spokesman, told the Gainesville Sun.

"The cassowary involved remains secured on private property at this time."

In order to own a cassowary, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission requires a person to obtain a permit, have "substantial experience", and have a cage meeting specific requirements.

Florida Fish and Water spokeswoman Karen Parker told the Gainesville Sun the commission believed the man was breeding the birds.

2 teen girls are facing a raft of felony charges in alleged plot to kidnap and kill 9 people
A pair of 14-year-old Florida middle school girls are facing felony charges for conspiracy to commit kidnapping and murder after being arrested this week in what authorities described as a plot to kidnap and kill 9 people.
Court records obtained by ABC News Tampa affiliate WFTS and reviewed by ABC News indicate that a teacher told police she observed the girls acting “hysterical” while searching for a folder at school, and heard one say that “I’m just going to tell them it’s a prank if they call me or if they find it.”
ABC News is withholding the identity of the girls due to their age.
