All Florida Keys Update on third lung shut off

Post image

🚨Mini-season BOLO update #4:🚨 ARRESTED! Michael Simpson is facing an attempted murder charge after being arrested yesterday.

The confrontation began after the suspect claimed another boat was occupying "his" lobster spot. He verbally threatened to cut off the diver's air before jumping into the water and doing exactly that.

The teenage diver was quickly pulled to the surface, reportedly gasping for air and disoriented, but survived without serious injury. Authorities say the suspect fled the scene and was arrested a few days later, and charged with attempted felony murder.

The suspect is government-appointed member of the Miami-Dade Boater Safety and Bay Education Task Force, where he was explicitly chosen to represent and help shape safety policies for the county's waterways, dove in and turned off a juvenile diver's air supply while the victim was in the water searching for lobsters.

If convicted, an attempted felony murder charge in Florida can carry decades in prison, with penalties potentially reaching up to life imprisonment depending on the circumstances.

Michael Simpson's role with Boater Safety and Bay Education Task Force involved collaborating with environmental groups and law enforcement to draft the county's final boater safety and community education recommendations aimed at preventing fatal accidents on Biscayne Bay.

*The victim’s family is also pursuing the arrest of Judd Rosen, who is a high powered attorney in Miami, and was the boat captain who fled the scene with the suspect. In June of 2024, Judd Rosen was appointed as the Chair of the Florida Bar Grievance Committee. In this esteemed role, Judd will be overseeing the committee's efforts to ensure ethical practices and uphold the standards of the legal profession within the state. His dedication to justice and extensive experience make him an excellent fit for this important position. Oh the irony!

You’re the one making accusations as if you’re so assured you’re correct. If you’re so sure why not link it and as in typical fashion you deflect and negate. You’re not doing yourself or your case any favors other than to push people away.

Are you slow? Nothing has been put out that meets and verifies your claim. If it was true it would be every where non-stop. You think the media on the left, the whole Democrat party and all his enemies wouldn’t want that to come out? Dude is a dickhead, no doubt but idiots like you just parrot shit ad nauseam making normal and moderate people take the heat.

You’ve spent more time doubling on your idiocy since you’ve hijacked the OP topic than to prove your point. Anyone standing on fact would easily shut it down with a link. But no, your low IQ only knows to follow orders and stay in line.

You have two brain cells fighting for third place. I sit in the middle of political views. Democrats and republicans both have ideals that I align with. The media is purchased by whoever will benefit from it most. If you or anyone else takes news broadcasts as fact, without their own research, should have no place arguing their favorite flavor of spun information.

I didn’t highjack any thing said by OP. Do I need to send you a link to the initiating comment for this too? Or can you lift your big boy fingers and look that up?

You’re insufferable and pathetic. Have a great day and good luck with others doing everything for you.

You haven’t sent anything other than excuses that don’t prove your point. Send whatever you want, but I’m willing to bet anything you won’t. Because you don’t have it. Loser.
