Oh God, that's horrifying. Thanks for highlighting this.

if this leads to incarcerated people coming to harm, I know that there will be people who will say that was a good thing and that makes me feel sick. As someone who has been a victim of violent crime, I thought that the perpetrator receiving a prison sentence would help me to heal from the trauma. I was wrong, and increasingly I understand that there is no justice to be found through retributive punishment, just more injustices heaped onto people.

That's fucking awful. What is wrong with Florida?

Sure they left the prisoners behind, but the cops worked "around the clock" to make sure they moved their "evidence, paperwork and supplies" somewhere safe before the storm hit.

I guess they didn't learn their lesson from when thousands of prisoners were abandoned in their cells during Katrina.

Were there no buses available to take them to other facilities? I guess they would argue that there is no way to securely transfer that many people that quickly. I wonder if there is an evacuation protocal requirement by the state that the prisons are not complying with, or if this was always the plan?

Thank you for posting this. This truly is a travesty.

Your advice is excellent.

Someone has posted that Waffle House is closing with less danger than in the past because of fear of litigation so, if that's the case, the Waffle House Index won't hold the same value

I'm watching that one too. Straight to the point, nothing unnecessary. Great coverage

That's just freaking bonkers.

I live in Orlando and one just touched down within a mile of my house. Scary stuff.

I see your dudes with a flag and raise you a guy in an inflatable dinosaur costume

Santa Cruz (with crest)?

It's a surprisingly high visibility moment... I agree it's dumb but if you have a cause to draw attention to that's going to get a lot more nationwide eyeballs than a giant protest in DC.

But it’s the Democrats who shove politics into everything. /s

If they meant to show that Trump is a massive windbag that will destroy everything he touches... message gotten across!

The flag seems to have taken the entire feed down.

No offense FlyingSquid.

From the looks of the video it doesn't necessary look like the dog was tied up, but that maybe it escaped its house/owner and got its leash stuck in the fence. It's still sad, and especially fucked up if the owners left the dog behind, somehow, but I don't want to jump to the conclusion that this happened on purpose until there is further info on it.

I was watching when there were over 400K watching live. I suspect YT was struggling because it was sluggish at times.
