That's odd. She was at a property site and they happened to be in the bushes with a gun at the same time? It would be good of the police released footage of these men... they say they have cctv.. video and cameras doesnt have to be a state secret

"*, he would not say who they were, claiming he did not remember.*"

This gentleman is making himself sound like an incompetent doofus. I didnt say he "*was*", he's making it seem so. And for what? Why is he in this position? I wish the European union would list this as one of the data points in their blacklisting criteria

"*could not confirm reports that the fire affected air quality in South Florida*"

Call Guardian radio it was on their 4 or 5PM news

Ah 20 years ago? .... a big nothing

Everybody pays VAT, even roadside vendors. And if someone is bringing in say 10 cars a years at 4000-5000 each thats 50,000-100,000 gross revenue a year. They don't pay business license.

Solve the problem. Do like the Chinese

This a easy problem. sell a good product at a good price. People would rather purchase a used car from a reputable dealer than someone out the want ads. There are many people who need good cars but cant afford or not willing to pay new car prices. That means you have volume. No need to make a 2000 profit off of one person. Your new car business should not be impacted, different customer base.

This whole saga is one big nothing. The govt is quite aware nothing will come of it. What they needed was a boogeyman to distract from their abysmal failure to move Freeport forward. Use the boogeyman to rile up supporters to make them believe the govt fighting for them and fire them up to get them to the poles for election. Thats all this is. I dont even believe they expected this to make news, if they did, they would have made it news by making some statement at a press conference (taking the GBPA to court "or else" is big news) as opposed to delivering the message to a small private group

This place is oftentimes made one big joke.

I was initially curious why a fire had started in the forest when its been relatively cool. Can we pleeeaaase get a sensible forestry monitoring system in place to catch illegal activity before it gets out of control? Please?

That aside, from the time the fire started officials have been telling us, and even in this article, "*nothing to see, no threat to life or property*", ignore for a minute that the homeowner said the fire behind his house and people with health issues had to evacuate.

So today, Florida meteorologists release a statement that smoke plumes from the fire are affecting air quality in a part of their state. Then like a thief caught in the act, NEMA pops up with a statement that they *right on it! are are monitoring the system and people should tell them of they see danger*. What?? Why? Who in charge? Im almost betting the senior team had been advised days ago by some low level technocrat on a plan of action, advice which was likely summarily shut down.... Because thats what "*title*" and "*position*" does in this country, ignore sensible advice then rush in with fire gear when the blaze out of control... in this case, literally.

I was surprised they tested it in seawater as if it might happen....but then again what better way for a layman living on an island to "try" to disable it than by dunking in seawater

In good news, sharks appear to be effective monitors, theyll show up right on time, track to your exact location and they dont have to worry whether police vehicles are available

Sad. If we dont start going after the money trail and get the kingpins, 11yr olds will be getting shot in 10 years
