If they didn't have guns, it'll just be two or three people wrestling around until they get tired. Maybe a ambulance.
But thanks to FREEDOM, 2 people and 18 others were included! Yay! Guns guns guns guns guns guns!
I think the solution is: MORE GUNS
Thanks to GUNS, were providing jobs to doctors, nurses, and funerals! It's a job maker!
I think the solution is not infringing on my freedom to force multiply my hurt feelings into everybody's problem.
This is in Ybor City, a historic business district to the east of downtown Tampa. If you're familiar with Broadway in Nashville, it's kind of the same thing with a bunch of bars, restaurants, music venues, and similar all in a row on 7th Ave. Ybor cycles every few years between relatively safe and out of control depending mostly on how much police presence there is. Usually it takes three or four violent events before the police crack down but since this is making national news I expect they'll be doing it sooner than later. I don't think there's ever been so many people injured at once in Ybor.
For many years, we used to have a Halloween celebration called Guavaween where the city would fence off the entire strip and search everyone trying to get in. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring that sort of security back next year.
This guy Ybors. Can confirm, grew up in Tampa and lived in Ybor for a couple of years. I remember when downtown Ybor started trying to be more family friendly. I also remember being able to tell when that coffee roaster burnt a batch, you could smell that from miles away.
Cuban sandwiches and cafe con leche.
Been in Tampa for 40 years. Lived in Ybor for a year in the late aughts. Spent most of my twenties there at least once or twice a week. My wife was in Ybor Friday night. Very glad she decided to go out on that day instead of last night. I only go once or twice a year now and several coworkers have recently told me it's gotten bad. The TPD is going to crack down hard after this.
People have always gone to Ybor just to hang out but from what I understand there's a ton of people now that just go and hang out in the parking lots and don't even go in the bars. Is that because they're all carrying? Who knows? But I don't think the TPD is going to be tolerating that much any more.
I lived there in the mid 90s and even more time when visiting my father who lived there.
