Golden Beach police: Sexual assault, kidnapping, and violence

Logan Morrison in the Marlins’ tweeter in chief

There are so many beautiful moments in this YouTube video of a girl making out with and humping a tree at Ultra Music Festival. Our favorite comes at the 1:40 mark, when she sassily slaps it and tells it to shut up before hurling her body at the tree. What…

Update: Wonderfully, Business Insider touted the bogus photo as accurate in a story on how the media is badly reporting the Trayvon Martin saga. Their source for the photo: white power message board Stormfront. Update 2: See the response from the Business Insider author at the end of this post…

Maxigate: A CVS employee and a menstrual pad make for a wild lawsuit

Jimbo’s Place is closing, and a crazy family feud is to blame

What happens when a multibillion-dollar company wages legal war against a teenage girl? Her diaries, adorned with Mickey Mouse and Bob Marley, get subpoenaed. And her psychiatric information gets entered — unredacted — into the public record. On Monday, we reported on the evolving craziness that is one Florida girl’s…

Count Miami-Dade Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho’s voice among those blasting the lack of an arrest in the shooting of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin. An Orlando-area self-proclaimed neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman, killed the 17-year-old Miami Gardens native Martin, who attended Michael Krop Senior High. He claimed it was self-defense, but 911…

You weren’t holding out hope that the City of Miami was going to delay closing Jimbo’s Place, were you? The city ordered the property closed to the public yesterday. It might take Miami workers months to fix that pothole in front of your house, but best believe they’re eager to…

About a year ago, pharmacy chain CVS and its Pembroke Pines employee Lisa Conteh were named in one of South Florida’s most bizarre lawsuits. Outlets from MSNBC to Univision reported that Conteh was accused of accosting and trapping a 13-year-old girl in the pharmacy’s bathroom — and then forcing her…

Miamians reacted with horror this week to news that the end is nigh for Jimbo’s, the open-air beer-and-smoked-fish joint that’s been Miami’s weirdest, most beloved hangout for nearly six decades. But no one has yet told of the Old Testament-style sibling feud — including accusations of drug use, insanity, and…

Here is the nail in the coffin of Jimbo’s, Miami’s weirdest bar which has existed in a state of quasi-legality for almost six decades. We couldn’t believe it when we heard that founder Jimbo Luznar’s daughter was exercising her power of attorney over the ailing 85-year-old man to close the…

South Florida is a mecca of everything, journalists say

EXCLUSIVE! You know Nikki “Hoopz” Alexander, the reality television star who is dating and possibly married (without a prenup! What?!) to Shaquille O’Neal and is always comically kissing him? Well, she’ll be doing some celebrity boxing in South Florida, and Shaq will be the corner man, and, pending negotiations, I might fight…

​Even though former gay porn star Shawn Loftis won a surprising appeal from the state allowing him to pursue teaching certification, Miami-Dade public school district tells Riptide they have no plans to reinstate him as a teacher in the district. In response, Loftis is threatening litigation. “They’re going to have…

We were reading the Miami Herald January 15 and their writer was investigating whether Miami or Tampa was the real “mecca for lusty dance.” Suddenly, this religiously mixed metaphor exploded into a vividly weird mental image: millions of pilgrims in Saudi Arabia marching piously toward… a woman with no undies…
