Every Friday, Riptide brings you the most eye-catching mugshots taken the previous week (or thereabouts) in Miami-Dade County. Yes, there is some mockery of bad neck tattoos, but also adulation directed at perps who just plain look more badass than we ever will. This is the italicized intro to that…
The Dolphins just can’t catch a break. Defensive end Dion Jordan, the Fins’ first round pick in 2013, has been suspended for the first four games of next season without pay after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs…
Twice a year, local leaders have to remind Miamians of a basic facet of gravity: what goes up must come down. Because some people do not seem to remember this when they decide to fire their guns off during Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve. Because apparently when they…

Florida’s first openly gay legislator will return to Tallahassee next year… because his GOP opponent’s filing fee check bounced. So much for Republican fiscal responsibility. David Richardson, who represents a district that includes parts of Miami Beach and the City of Miami, was elected to the house in 2012 as…
We love our tourists down here in Miami, if only because they keep a large chunk of our economy running. But like anything we love, they sometimes annoy us. As the barrage of summer break tourists pours into South Florida this holiday weekend, let’s review the things that bother us…
For a road that leads to a sparsely developed island sitting just north of a national park, the Rickenbacker Causeway has all the charm of an anonymous highway. A string of accidents, often deadly, have called attention to the fact drivers often zip through the road like it was I-95…

Ask any Floridians a Family Feud-style query of “Name things we should protect,” and they’ll instinctually shout back at you “Manatees.” Along with Florida panthers, those plump little sea cows are practically synonymous with endangered species in the state. We’re brought up from a young age with a general sense…
Last week, video of a little kid busting out into some seriously sick dance moves after he found himself on the Marlins’ Jumbotron went viral on the Internet. It was the most anyone has paid attention to anything related to the Marlins in a long, long time. So, of course,…
We’re not sure how a sports columnist in Portland, Oregon, managed to break big Miami Heat news, but John Canzano of the Portland Oregonian has tweeted that Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are prepared to re-sign with the Heat for a pretty heft pay cut. No one else is confirming…

Nigel Bethel II, a former standout at Miami’s Booker T. Washington High who went on to be recruited by Texas Tech, found himself behind bars and off the team after punching the school’s star women’s basketball player. The incident went down Saturday in the Lubbock, Texas school’s rec center. Bethel…
Some particularly annoying men love to derail online feminist discussion with the war chant of “Not All Men,” to the point that it’s been memefied and ridiculed. What’s scary though is the amount of men who try to justify their sexual violence against women by claiming that, well, “yes all…

After Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, and Udonis Haslem opted out of their contracts over the weekend, conventional wisdom has it that the Big Three are angling to re-sign with the Heat under restructured deals. After all, the trio was spotted lunching at Soho Beach House last week. However, it’s not…

Students at the University of Miami were taking their final exams for the Summer A term today when a shooting disrupted the campus. Not much is known, but apparently a disgruntled girlfriend shot her boyfriend in a School of Communications building…
I’ve held off writing about Ann Coulter for a decade — or about the length of time her average fan takes to read one of her books — so as not to offend anyone. But enough is enough. Any attacks on the sport of soccer are downright un-American and offensive…

The economic downturn had forced several leaders on both the state and local levels to rebrand Florida as some sort of tech- and business-friendly state perfect for young, entrepreneurial professionals. That might give you the impression that Florida is turning into some hip, youth-friendly state. It’s not. It’s still America’s…
