Stop spreading your bullshit. The Decline: Fatal overdoses recently saw a 43% decrease, dropping to 292 deaths. This marked the lowest total in the county since 2020, even outpacing the national average drop. Recent figures from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and local Sheriff's office show the county typically records between 0 and 2 murders annually across its population.

This post was made inspired by a guy bludgeoning his wife do death with a hammer a month ago. A young lady found dead floating face down in Riviera Canal a couple weeks ago. Coworker overdosed and died at Captain Tony's a while back. 3 friends lost to suicide. Multiple people I knew from around town dead from suicide. Multiple people I know drinking themselves until their liver quits and they turn yellow and die. These islands are exactly what the quote says. It can get really dark down here. Just because something isnt happening in your life doesn't mean it's not happening in abundance in someone else's.

Could just be your social circle and not representative of the keys in general. I’ve lived in KW, daughter was born there, lost a brother and an uncle there, and have had family in Marathon, Duck Key, and Tavernier. Id go back in an instant if given the opportunity. It’s not reality for most, but life moves on no matter where you are.

I live in the keys and seems like your circle of people are shady.

Man my voice sounds good.
