Sir Arthur Conan Doyle through the Sherlock Holmes character brought the point home that crimes are easier to hide in the rural areas than in the city. At the time he was referring to the fact that in big cities there are more people, thus more eyes, ears and mouths.

And I have said, and even wrote an opinion piece to point out that the FBI and other legal agencies, as well as the political arm in Tallahassee have been ignoring Central Florida when it comes to law enforcement. They, instead, send public money and direct their focus on bigger cities. They do this at their own peril. At our peril.

White Supremacist groups will grow where there is an absence of legal oversight. And the tremendous lack of oversight in Central Florida, as well as a strong right-wing gun culture, has made us a ripe target for these kind of cult groups.

And then you add the fact that we do not have the best court system to handle these issues when they do come up. We are out of practice.

Because they are white. And supreme. But really folks, it was an honest mistake geckosfeet May 2012 #1
