So last night thousands of people were out on the town celebrating Cinco De Mayo. Our very own DJ dLux was seen around town looking something like this:
One can only hope last nights parties were as good as the notorious “Scoop de mayo”, which was last years captivating party held at everyone’s favorite UCF area bar “Knightly Scoop”. If you don’t remember last years chaos let me refresh your memory about this hugely successful event:
As you can see maneuvering through last years massive crowd was borderline hazardous. No word yet on how successful “scoop de homo” **cough** “scoop de mayo” was this year…
In other related cinco de mayo news, some nutcase decided to go “cinco de psycho” last night on Church St. I guess he couldn’t take all the Mexican madness that was overtaking the city.
“Barb Jones with Orlando Police says a “man went nuts” on Church Street just as the clubs were letting out, slamming his car first into a parked car, then the Antigua nightclub, and finally some pedestrians. “At some point, officers engaged that driver. Shots were fired by the officers, and the driver of the vehicle was transported to ORMC. I do not have an update on his status.”
We believe 3 OPD officers opened fire, all have been placed on administrative leave while the FDLE investigates. None of the pedestrians were hurt seriously, but we are not expecting the suspect to survive. In fact, homicide detectives from OPD have been working this scene since the early morning hours. What is most unclear initially is why this man went on that rampage.”
Thanks to WDBO for that story. Word was later that this guy didn’t make it. I can already hear the cries of excessive force by the officers in this case, although it does seem a little extreme to swiss cheese up some guy who was probably drunk and acting a fool on cinco de mayo. I wasn’t there so I obviously don’t know the details first hand, but I have a feeling this story is just beginning. Anyways, all this excitement makes me happy I went cinco de sleepo early last night.
In related news, the MASSIVE GLOW PARTY Thursday, May 14th @ Antigua won’t be disrupted by the damage caused by the “man who went nuts”.
Was that a tasteless promotion? Anyways, this party is gonna be amazing, and I had to tie it into this blog somehow.
One final note… Following up on the Shannon Burke story, Orlando radio host Shannon Burke is now out of the Seminole County Jail. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Burke, 43, was released from jail Tuesday and is wearing a monitoring device. He was also fired earlier in the week from his job at WTKS, Real Radio 104.1 FM. Isn’t this the type of thing that would increase their ratings!??! Shannon Burke was arrested, and accused of shooting his dog and wife. He claims it was a mistake, and it seems pretty obvious of that by listening to the 911 call (see below blog for 911 call audio).
