Florida may have accidentally banned computers and smartphones

In an attempt to ban Internet cafes in the Sunshine State, legislators may have been a bit too broad in their language, resulting in what some legal experts say is a law that inadvertently makes it illegal to own a computer or a smartphone.

The bill, which was signed into law by Florida governor Rick Scott in April, was meant to shut down cafes, some of which have been tied to illegal gambling in the state. And shut them down it did: over 1,000 cafes were immediately closed.

But it's the wording that's problematic, as it defines a slot machine as "any machine or device or system or network of devices" that can be used in games of chance. Turns out the Internet is full of gambling sites, which is where the definition runs into some problems.

Fucking hate Rick Scott, can't wait till he leaves office in 2 years, cause he won't get a 2nd term for sure.

[Eurell]

[Tajin]

Florida doing it right.

[Tricen]

Yeah have no idea. It also closed down a lot of those arcades too. My friends family was out of a job, they all worked there. BUT HEY, HE'S NOT PUTTING ANYONE OUT OF BUSINESS LOL. Fucking idiot.

[Anoat]

Most of the "Internet cafes" in my town weren't even trying to hide the fact that they were anything but a gambling house. They had names like "Gold Rush" and "Full House" for fucks sake lol

[arus2001]

Was gonna say, what the fuck is wrong with an internet cafe? But if it's just being used as a front for other shit, well... still wtf.

[Tricen]

There's a different between what they wanted to ban and what they ended up banning. It's all kinda confusing and stupid.

[Vandalhart]

Shuts done 1000 internet cafes.

Job creator etc etc

The number of Starbucks alone would be that number!

TEENAGERS Arin Andrews and Katie Hill look like any loving young couple posing in their swimwear.

It is hard to believe that just two years ago he was a girl called Emerald and she was a boy called Luke.

Arin, 17, and Katie, 19, have both undergone surgery to change their gender.

Just over a year ago Katie, a university student, had gender reassignment surgery.

Last month Arin, who is still at school, had his breasts removed.

He says: “I hated my breasts, I always felt like they didn’t belong. Now I finally feel comfortable in my own body.

Athens County Woman Wants Possessions Back After Bank Tried To Repossess Wrong House

An Athens County woman is looking to get her belongings back after a bank incorrectly broke into her house and took them.

Katie Barnett says that the First National Bank in Wellston foreclosed on her house, even though it was not her bank.

"They repossessed my house on accident, thinking it was the house across the street," Barnett said.

Barnett, who had been away from the house for about two weeks, said she had to crawl through the window of her own house in order to get in after she used her own key that did not work.

Some of the items in her house had been hauled away, others were sold, given away and trashed.

It turns out the bank sent someone to repossess the house located across the street from Barnett's house, but by mistake broke into hers instead.

"They told me that the GPS led them to my house," Barnett said. "My grass hadn't been mowed and they just assumed."

She called the McArthur Police about the incident, but weeks later, the chief announced the case was closed.

Barnett said that according to the bank president, this was the first time something like this has happened.

She presented him with an $18,000 estimate to replace the losses, but the president refused to pay.

"He got very firm with me and said, 'We're not paying you retail here, that's just the way it is,'" Barnett said. "I did not tell them to come in my house and make me an offer. They took my stuff and I want it back."

The shock of having her house broken into and belongings taken by mistake has now turned into anger.

"Now, I'm just angry," Barnett said. "It wouldn't be a big deal if they would step up and say 'I'm sorry, we will replace your stuff.' Instead, I'm getting attitude from them. They're sarcastic when they talk to me. They make it sound like I'm trying to rip the bank off. All I want is my stuff back."

No one from the bank would go on camera with 10TV about the incident. The bank vice president told 10TV News that the bank is trying to come to terms with Barnett.

Wow, if there was ever something that would drive me to shoot up a place, that would be it. I cannot even fathom how angry I would be with that situation and response from the bank.

[notorious bum]

She needs to lawyer-up. Fuck allowing the bank to negotiate a price.
