Richard Rosengarten walked into Publix at 4:20 p.m. November 15, 2013. Normally, not even Rosengarten, a brilliant and bespectacled University of Miami law student, would remember the exact date and time he went grocery shopping. But it’s not every day you see cops electrify an innocent man. The supermarket’s automatic…
Last week, U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle ordered the state to respond to his same-sex marriage ruling by midnight Monday. And just before the midnight deadline hit, the state threw it back to Hinkle and said he needs to make the ruling. Hinkle, who had previously ruled that Florida’s same-sex…
The Delray Beach Police Department is currently investigating Shatara K. Shatara, an off-duty PBSO deputy who shot and killed his own son last week. But don’t expect to see any updates about the case on the department’s Facebook page — every statement related to the case has been removed from…
Earlier this year, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which owns shares of SeaWorld Entertainment Inc., tried to propose a solution for the park’s ongoing public criticism over its treatment of captive orcas: the creation of a coastal retirement sanctuary for SeaWorld’s killer whales. The proposal was…
U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle has ordered Florida to respond on its position concerning his ruling on same-sex marriage by today, Monday, December 29. Particularly, Hinkle is waiting for a response on whether county clerks will be legally allowed to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples come January 6. Earlier…
Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is either blind, indifferent, or nuts. One would have to be, no? The NFL season for the Dolphins has come and gone and, exactly as we predicted, Miami finished with an 8-8 record and failure to once again enter the playoffs. And as it is…
Update: All of the posts related to the Shatara shooting on the Delray Beach Police Department’s Facebook page have been removed. But we have inserted screenshots of those now-missing posts in the story below. Almost a week after off-duty PBSO Deputy Shatara K. Shatara shot and killed his 21-year-old son,…
Former professional wrestler Kevin Nash, AKA “Diesel,” spent a portion of his Christmas in jail this year after he and his son apparently had a little unsanctioned WWE action in their Volusia County home on Christmas Eve. Nash, 55, and the 18-year-old Tristen both caught domestic-battery charges after the family…
Update: Two days after the shooting, the Delray Beach Police Department confirmed that the victim, Khamis Shatara, is the son of PBSO Deputy Shatara K. Shatara. An off-duty PBSO deputy shot and killed one of his own relatives on Christmas Eve, but police are mum on details, releasing only minimum…
Ahhhh, the holidays. A time for family, unhealthy amounts of booze, a lot of sports on TV, and more booze. So, basically, the perfect combination for trouble. But while you’re at home bickering with Sis or putting your cousin in a headlock, keep in mind that for some unfortunate souls…
Just two days before Christmas, in one of those delicious stories the internet was built for, the popular website Bleacher Report — and some guy (from Portland, Oregon!) named Tom Sunnergran, dropped a bomb on Heat small forward Danny Granger. “Danny Granger’s NBA Career Coming to a Swift and Painful…
We laughed, we cried, then we laughed again. Merry Christmas, Heat fans. In LeBron James’ first game back in Miami, the Heat put together its most LeBron-era-like performance Thursday, beating the Cavs 101-91. That one felt damned good and couldn’t have come at a better time or on a bigger…
Fort Lauderdale has been in hot water this year regarding its treatment of the homeless population, especially after the enactment of ordinances — called “homeless hate laws” by detractors — designed to drive homeless people out of town, or at least out of sight. People around the world were quick…
Welp, you done and did it again. Had that piggy bank all fat with money for the Christmas season, then made a couple ill advised trips to the bar and/or the race track, and now you’re trying to scrape together some last minute, on-the-cheap Christmas gift ideas. Don’t fret. Here…
Well, here we are. 2014 is about to be kaput, and a brand new year filled with crazy Florida news stories awaits us. Whatever 2015 brings, we’re sure it’s going to be pretty nuts, pretty wild, and pretty fantastic. We hope you come along for the ride, just as you…
The day Heat fans have been anticipating all season has finally arrived; LeBron James’ return to American Airlines Arena is just hours away. The Heat’s struggles this season may have taken some of the luster off the match-up, but you can be sure LeBron returning to Miami will be the…
Add South Florida to the list of cities that will screen the previously pulled Seth Rogen comedy “The Interview” starting this Thursday. The 13 screen Swap Shop Drive-In located at 3291 Sunrise Blvd in Fort Lauderdale will begin showing the film at 7 p.m. on Christmas Day. Preston Henn, the…
Eleven Palm Beach County precincts gave the wrong ballots to more than 100 voters this past Election Day, according to a report published by Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher. The problem was found to stem from voters being handed a ballot from the wrong precinct at polling places that contained…
Miami Dolphins fans aren’t exactly in the mood for good news right now. Their team will miss the postseason this season for the sixth straight year, guaranteeing they will live through a 14th straight year of witnessing no Miami Dolphins playoff wins. That sucks, but not everything sucks; nope, some…
Although Florida seems to be on the edge of a truly historic leap into the 21st Century with marriage equality, the football isn’t quite in the end zone. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision not to tackle whether or not to keep the state’s same sex marriage ban in place past…
Did your sister just remind you that your brother-in-law will be at Christmas this year? Did you just remember you need gas for the grill? Did you forget to pick up your medication? Thankfully for you, lots of places have extended their store hours this holiday season through late Christmas…
