Manhunt this morning in the Florida Keys

[tavernier]

for an 18-year-old kid who killed his little brother and stabbed his father last night. He was a high school student along with my grandson and in recent years had gotten into a lot of trouble. Perhaps the combination of isolation and the crazy full moon contributed to the craziness, but this morning sirens are wailing from one end of the upper keys to the other and the high school is in lock down even though only cafeteria staff are there providing lunches for transportation to the community kids.

So sad.

1. Oh my goodness, such a heartbreaking story.

2. Wow.

Well, only one road in and out.

They’ll get him.

[tavernier]

4. And those roads have been locked down for weeks.

Kid doesn’t stand a chance, not that he should. He needs help severely.

6. The Citizen says he's only 17, but either way he's gonna get charged as an adult.

Sad story.

3. My grandson just texted me and said he used to a great kid

and smart in school, but he got into drugs.
It’s always about the damn drugs.

[crickets]

7. Damn. *sigh* nt

5. So sad!

I fear such incidents are going to escalate. Especially "family annihilation." Those incidents tend to increase in economically depressed times.

8. Not from a poor home.

Executive Bay Club in Islamorada, elder Bush’s favorite town to vacation and fish in the Keys. The kid was was a druggie. Rumor at the location says he took off in a boat and marine patrol and helicopters are now all over the place.

Not if there’s anything remotely funny about this, but in the past week or so a ton of boats have come down from Miami with people wanting to use our beaches, and can’t because the roads are closed. I was just picturing these folks out on the water with no clue about what has happened, suddenly being deluged with helicopters and government boats. They must be shitting a brick thinking they are the ones that are being chased. Serves ‘em right.

10. Now that IS funny lol.

Not the situation, but all those mainlanders freaking out.

I read the story about the out of town boats the other day.

[cwydro]

9. I get the Citizen online, but keep us posted.

I hope this doesn’t end with suicide by cop or some such. What a damn shame.

[tavernier]

11. There is nothing to end well here.

After seeing his picture on several local sites, I do remember him, but as a younger boy, a happier face. Working at the school I’ve watched all of these kids grow, and I wished every one of them a happy life, but I have seen drugs take a few of the others over the years. As you can imagine, I’m crying as I’m writing this.
