FLORIDA MAN STOPS PAYING FOR RENTAL CAR, USES IT TO GIVE UBER RIDES

Florida Man October 26

https://floridaman.com/florida-man-s...ve-uber-rides/

[POLK COUNTY] Usually people return a rental car when they stop paying for it. But not Florida Man. No, he keeps it. Not only does he keep it, but he uses it give Uber rides and make a little cash on the side.

According to a Polk County Sheriff’s Office Facebook post, this Florida Man had an ingenious way of keeping the rental company from stopping his engine from starting…but we’ll get to that a little later.

27-year old Elijah Mills was pulled over in Polk County while giving a ride to a couple from the United Kingdom. They were in Florida to get married. Now they’ll have a great Florida Man story to tell their friends and family back home. Little did they know that the Uber car giving them a ride was actually a stolen car.

Mills rented a Ford Equinox in Orange County, but stopped making payments on the car three weeks earlier. The Florida Man told deputies that the rental car company called him constantly, but he refused to answer. The company had no choice but to report the car as stolen.

Usually the rental company is able to keep the cars ignition from restarting, but that didn’t work. Why Not? Well, Mills told police how he was able circumvent their device by keeping the car running. That’s right…he kept it running for three weeks straight. With gas prices so high today, no wonder he had to use it as an Uber.

And who would have guessed that Florida Man didn’t even have a valid license? Mills was charged with Grand Theft Motor Vehicle and Driving While License Suspended or Revoked.

An old man just shot 2 climate activists who were blocking a highway in Panama

A 77-year-old man shot dead two environmental protesters on Wednesday in an apparent outburst of rage over a roadblock in Panama.

The gunman was named in local media as Kenneth Franklin Darlington Salas. If he is convicted, Mr Salas could be sentenced to house arrest rather than being sent to jail because of his age.

The protesters, who were opposed to a controversial mining contract, had blocked the Pan-American Highway in Chame, 51 miles from the capital Panama City.

Footage posted on social media showed the motorist walking from his car, demanding the protesters get out of the road.

Initially, Mr Salas removed tyres which were obstructing the road. The protesters, according to witnesses, shouted at the man: “Are you going to kill someone?”

The gunman replied: “You want to be the first?”

He opened fire, first shooting a protester holding a flag and then a second man who went to confront him, before walking off and removing tree trunks that had been blocking the road. He was then arrested.

Local media identified the victims as Abdiel Diaz, a teacher and union activist, and Ivan Mendoza.

The deaths are the first fatalities in protests that broke out on October 20 against a contract that allows Canada-based First Quantum Minerals to operate Central America’s biggest open pit copper mine for at least another 20 years.



Didn’t those climates activists know that mining operations strip the land of trees and plant life which in turn saves the planet?

Imho; this particular item, while horrifically interesting, is of a distinctly political nature involving the assassination of both a flag wielding protester and a union leader protesting a political/international-corporation global warming issue by blocking the Pan-Am highway. This was specifically nixed by the OP, Moonlight. It is worthy issue in its own right and deserves an appropriate thread of its own; inasmuch as the shooter is a 77 yearold lawyer and professor with previous firearm related legal issues.
