Murder Suspect Arrested Near Disney World

[emcclay]

Gotta love my home state.. and I thought Florida was bad!

 

[ShookieJones]

Pheww !! Seeing as he was from CT, I'm just glad it wasn't our buddy @ShookieJones !!

i've done some things Steve..even some I could have been arrested for, but not murder, never even had it in my heart, except that one time when my Monorail cup broke......

The Sentinel does this all the time. One of the worst instances was a Disney cast member who committed "child rape." Turns out it was a statutory case of a young 20s CM having otherwise consensual sex with a 17 year old girlfriend. Still a crime, but I'm sure they were tickled to have folks assume it was a 50 year old pervbag forcing himself on kindergartners.

That is terrible ... But so is criminalizing consensual sex between a 17-year old and a 20-something ...

I know what the law says, but I'm in favor of the "half plus 7 rule". If you're 20 you can be with someone half your age + 7 years. I understand why the law is there, but at times it seems silly.

Hahahahaha......the Monorail cup.....you're killing me bud...ahem, oh wait !! Maybe you'd get manslaughter for making somebody laugh to death

Ya know if he had a MagicBand they might have tracked him sooner?

Haha. Yes now disney sees and tracks all!!

Totally agree (surprised ya' right?) This is completely unethical and wrong. In this online era of news, though, it is designed for maximum click count.

The man may well have been taking a WDW vacation to celebrate taking a life, but he wasn't at WDW and the story was designed to lead folks to believe that.

But this is from the same mindset that allowed Jason Garcia to rewrite a Disney press release on MM+ in the Sentinel and pass it off as news.

Like putting Miley Cyrus over chemical weapons in Syria??

While they were at it can they arrest whoever killed my childhood and closed 20,000 leagues under the sea?

I believe that is only so in a handful of states. In most others, he would not have been charged.

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

So its not WDW management for killing the parks.

 

[WDWDad13]

nothing like relaxing at the world after commiting murder...

I heard he got stuck on Carousel of Progress because people kept moving around inside the theater and he called the cops to turn himself in instead of being tortured

I am 100. Do you know any hot, available 57 year olds?

Yeah, but they're all hanging out with 36 year old guys.

 

[Goofnut1980]

You notice the Sentinel and everyone else leave that piece out. It's sexier to let people think this happened on Disney property. Journalistic malpractice to even mention Disney in this article. "Man arrested at Orlando area hotel." Disney has literally nothing to do with it.

That is why I cannot watch or read the news... They make the crap up!

 

[scout68]

Mike Cruz, you've just ended one man's life and ruined countless others'... where are you going to go now?

"making a quick stop at Disney World then its off to an all expenses paid long term trip to the Big House."

Congrats Mike!

Ya know if he had a MagicBand they might have tracked him sooner?

The band would probly have had the wrong name assigned to it, thus allowing him to escape in the 3 months it took to correct the problem and identify him.

Wonderful! Way to represent CT!

That was my first thought.

 

[CtDisneyGuy33]

That was my first thought.

Lovely! Thats what we need, better thoughts of this crumbling state!!

I just read an article saying that we live in the richest state. Tell that to my paycheck.
