The Empire State may tolerate lawlessness within its boundaries, but the Sunshine State does not share the same leniency.
Bodycam footage captured by a Monroe County, Florida, sheriff’s deputy depicts the arrest of Richard Brothers, a New York native visiting the Florida Keys, on a felony charge of property damage as a form of political expression. Those considering a visit to Florida should be aware of this incident.
As reported by the Gateway Pundit, a sheriff’s office report revealed that during his visit to a Winn-Dixi supermarket on March 24, Brothers, a resident of Syracuse, New York, became infuriated upon spotting a truck displaying a “Let’s Go Brandon” message. The phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” gained popularity in October 2022 among critics of President Joe Biden. It originated when an NBC reporter mistakenly interpreted a crowd at a NASCAR race in Talladega, Alabama, chanting “f*ck Joe Biden” as “Let’s go Brandon,” due to the presence of driver Brandon Brown.
In response to his anger, the man used his key fob to strike the green Toyota Tundra, resulting in damages exceeding $6,000, according to the Gateway Pundit. The incident was captured on security cameras, providing concrete evidence of the crime and facilitating the identification of the alleged perpetrator. The owner of the Tundra expressed a desire to press charges.
