A cheap motel, a white tee shirt, and a twenty dollar bill

What a cab driver will do to make a living is beyond what most people can handle or comprehend. One thing we do is go into very bad areas of town and pretend it is normal. At least I still think it is normal. Like the Pakistani store owner who sells smokes, beer, lotto tickets and blunts to the people who walk in his door while all the time hoping he doesn't get shot, you begin to think this is normal. I got this call about 4 in the morning today. Things got a little weird. Not to bad, but not what I was expecting.

It was the Downtowner Motel, one of Tampa's swankier joints. Its the kind of place that has "weekly rentals" and calls them apartments; imaine what kind of crowd that will draw. The dude was on the balcony and very anxious to get going, a clear sign that someone wants to buy drugs. I guess his buzz has worn off and he needs to get more. He and some chic with sunken cheeks and a glazed stare get in the backseat. They seem to have a bunch of nervous energy.

After we bound around from one hotel to a back street this black dude on a bike with a white tee shirt does a "fly-by" of the cab; he is trying to determine if he has a customer. My fare tells me the black dude is a friend of his that he owes money. People will tell us anything, it is their boss, their cousin, whatever, he wasn't even being original. I tell him fine, but "get out and do whatever you need to do outside my cab." I tell him. He complies and after about one minute, he returns looking happy. I end taking them back, no big deal.

What bothers me about these people is they think they are slick. They are not fooling anyone; we know what is up. Eventually, they cab drivers will stop responding to the call. However, in today's climate and the need to make money, many drivers will take the call. It is amazing how desperate you can get for a twenty dollar bill.

$5 Million in red light fines for Tampa

They said was for our safety and to reduce accidents. Sure, we all feel safer with the big brother cameras watching us.
The amount of revenue is staggering. Thats just millions less people will to spend in this poor economy because the local government has involved law enforcement in revenue generation.
What if everyone just told them to pack sand? What could they do? Suspend drivers licensees by the scores of thousands? This is just another way to screw with people and they are doing it hard.
How do they think people have this kind of money. A third of the people have not paid and I know why. They are struggling in this poor economy and can barely cover their basic expenses, much less this crap.
People who drive for a living are more vulnerable then others ..

Stand your ground law in Florida no help for a black women

Marrisa Alexander was sentenced to 20 years in Florida prison form firing a warning shot at her abusive husband. She claimed she was standing her ground.

It seems she had been abused for years by her husband and was trying to get him to back off.

George Zimmerman shot a kid and, will use stand your ground as a defense. Casey Anthony killed her kid, and walks free. One of the first things you learn in life is there is no justice.

What did her in was Florida's "10-20-life." 10 years mandatory for the commission of a felony while using a gun. 20 years if someone is hurt. Life, if someone is killed.

Trevor Dooley and Trevon Martin: What Justice?

Tevor Dooley being led out of his house

In the Tampa Bay area two years ago we had a black man Trevor Dooley kill a white man in cold blod. This murder was over an argument about a skate border in a public park. Because of that, a 10 year old girl will grow up without a father. No race angle was played on that.

In Sanford Florida a 'white' man killed a black man that may have been attacking him (the facts are not in yet). In both cases the "Stand your ground" rule was invoked. Only in one was race made an issue. Even the Presiedent got involve to defend the side of Trevon (Obama never defends the side of white people) by saying if he had a son he would look like Trevon. That was way out of bounds for a lawyer and constitutional scholar to make that statement.

TrevorDooley was on trial but I cannot find out anything about a verdict. Does anyone know what happened to this case? was it swept under the rug somehow? Its strange. Police I have talked to don't even know.

I am glad to see that George Zimmerman was granted bond today and I hope his rights are protected in court. I really hope we can stop seeing these things only on race lines.

Face it by a ratio of 87 to one a black is more likely to be killed by another black. We do not live in the world of Mississippi Burning anymore. The white man is not their enemy.

Mohamed Atta Had A Hack License From United Cab OF Tampa And A Commercial Pilots License

Mohamed Atta once had a hack license issued by the Hillsborough County Transportation Commission. Atta never came back to pick it up. He had applied to work at United Cab of Tampa, but never showed up for work either.

My research shows he was living in the Tampa area for some time while taking flying lessons in Venice Florida and Jones aviation in Sarasota.

Most people were told that he only had a few hours on a simulator and was not interested in knowing how to land. This is not true.

The owner of Huffman Aviation in Venice said Mohamed Atta and a friend walked in the front door one day in late 2000 and wanted to know about getting pilots license and how much that would cast. They were told the cost was $18,000 with $1,000 down and $1.000 a week for the entire 18 week course. They paid with a check drawn on First Union Bank.

All did not go smooth as their first instructor found them arrogant and hard to teach. They switched instructors and were able to finish the course and Atta earned his "Temporary Airman's  license" with a score of 90 of a 122 possible points during a five hour exam.. This allowed him to rent out planes on his own which he did on many occasions.

Proof Mohamed Atta Know how to land and take off in an airplane

Atta did not stop at this, he went on December 21, 2000 he earned a full instrument ratting and a COMMERCIAL PILOTS LICENSE. ("airplane multiengine land/ instrument airplane/ private pilot privileges/ airplane single engine land"). (Source) He earned these credentials in a rather short period of time. 

I believe he was running out of money and It was during this period that he applied for a hack license in Tampa. The TPC still has his license on file. It is unknown what his intentions were about driving a cab, considering he had goals of altering world history for ever. He flew planes to Miami from Venice and from Jones aviation to Tampa. He knew how to take off and land. Skills that he really would not put to much use.

It was from Tampa where he flew American Airlines to Spain to meet with representatives from Iraq.

Is Dontae Rashawn Morris A Runaway Slave?

The Tampa black newspaper the Florida Sentinel Bulletin had an editorial today that hinted that Donae Rashawn Morris may be a runaway slave. The article was by "The Sole-Man Speaks" and his logic was that every city in the south, including Tampa, has an area of town that most white folks never go into. In Florida it is called the Black Bottom. The best of the best, and the worst of the worst will rise from these blighted neighborhoods. Unfortunately, it is usually the worst.

Dontae Rashawn Morris was raised in Jacksonville Florida in the worst black bottom there is. He is now suspected of killing two Tampa police officers. The Sentinel cited the incident in Polk County a few years ago when a black man killed a white police officer, and when he was arrested he was shot 68 times by the cops to the point that his body was not recognizable as a human being. That was wrong, but I think it had more to do with the rage of the police and the actions of the suspect himself. Somehow he was innocent in the Sentinels mind.

They say that black fathers are cautioning their sons not to be out at night because they may be killed by the Tampa Police. Fist of all, 70% of all black boys do not have fathers active in their lives, and the police are only looking for Dontae Rashawn Morris. Are you people still slaves? Is that what you really want to be? The last I checked the President of the Untied States and the Attorney General were black. They seem to be doing fine living in this racist country. Are we still living in "Mississippi Burning?"

The Sentinel writes:

"...Dontae Morris is Black. The officers he reputedly shot are white. Not that it matters, but somewhere down the craggy, putrid road of American History, it matters, dearly"

The only thing putrid is Mr. Morris. Clean up your own acts before you start blaming this on the Tampa Police you bastards.

"Our condolences go out to the slain officers' families. Our sadness embraces the accused assailants's mother and father. Our heart breaks to consider that we HAVE STILL NOT OVERCOME."

What they mean is that they have not overcome the white man. I hope it is a black police officer that greases this piece of human shit.

2137 W MLK - Martin Luther King Tampa

The Pain Management Center at 2137 MLK in Tampa Florida is a very popular destination for taxi drivers. Many drug addicts, dealers and crack heads are coming to Tampa to get long term prescription opium based narcotics and other drugs. They have found a loophole in the law, at the doctors have who are prescribing the drugs that can only be filled at certain pharmacies in the Tampa Bay Area.

Their days are numbered. The police and the DEA are forming sting operations that will soon take these assholes down. Get your drugs soon crackhead or you may not have the chance.

If you call for a cab from the Days Inn Stadium, I work that area, and I may be the one to pick you up to take you to 2137 w MLK. Howdy.
