How Much INFLUENCE do the Latin Kings have in Tampa FL

We've got a black man run over in the street by a white man. The black man's father got ONE SENTENCE. ONE SENTENCE in the Tampa Tribune to say 'everyone seems to have forgotten my son died that night.'. Over his son's murder. (Lawrence Storer Shantavius Wilson)

We've got a Latin King's guy in jail ---- no judgment here but it seems pretty stacked against him. Five or six hours of tape of a beating that he is calling a fight gone wrong. (whew, that's one long fight gone wrong ..... huh??) At least he has his wife believing that. Or so she says. Add that to a few other quite heinous things they're accusing him of and it's pretty serious ..
If you look close, you'll also see another Chicago connection. Man, I'm feeling so like I'm in the Windy City lately, eh??? South Tampa is proud to be called Lil New York but I am NOT so proud to be part of the Windy City. Keep it. It works up there. This HERE is Flori-duh.

To me, of course, he's still innocent til proven guilty despite his previous .... fights gone wrong??

I'm asking this question because I see Latin King connect everywhere I go. They're having a big impact on the way life is in Tampa FL. My friends, it is NOT a blessing they are giving. They're honestly not a religious group. LOL !!!

They make it personal when they come after your family. When they sneak up through the ranks of the TPD to Internal Affairs Investigator and/or just have them on the payroll. When they lie in open court and two judges (Mark Wolfe and Robert Field) give them passes in the same trial. (hmmmm) When they work for every City and County Dept in Tampa and harass and intimidate others. When they're getting arrested out of Dept of Housing and Development and out of the Driver's License Office for fraudulently issuing documents to each other. When they work with neighbors to intimidate other neighbors from their home. And, especially when they take their stupid lil skate BMW's and drive around you like locust .... now, where the heck is all this money coming from? Selling bibles ya suppose? Cool. I could sell bibles. I'll let yall know if the initiation is prayerful and all.

So, Dee Ann Athan is a GREAT attorney; I give her points for giving her clients the best defense.
But, she doesn't come cheap. Where is the money coming from to pay this defense and WHY is this woman (the wife) being given any airtime at all? Also, there have already been some issues raised over some sneaky maneuvering in this coming trial.

The Tampa Tribune could have said, "Why HELL NO, we are laying off SEVENTY people we don't have time to come out there and find out some guys' wife's opinion of his antics." Or, "we don't even investigate rapes that happen right across the street, so bite us."


There's a bunch of guys in jail and I think that ALL of their wives should now be given this opportunity.

Tribune???

Where you at on this?

WTF????????????????????????????????????????????

If there are any ladies out there with your man locked away and he's getting a bad shake and you can't get your story told .... contact the Tribune.

Tell them you want the same chance Angela Lugo got to tell her man's story.

Oh and LOTS AND LOTS of Latin Kings in the Tampa Fire Dept. Imagine your earth-shattered surprise.
