​There's currently a 76-comment long thread on Occupy Fort Lauderdale's Facebook page about New Times' coverage of the group's choice to comply with a new city rule that effectively bans tents from the occupation spot at City Hall.

Among the things discussed are what's apparently a rift in the group over the tent issue, as well as the possibility of eating this writer's babies.

Thanks to our "cynicism hammer," there's now a bit of discussion available for public view over the group's decision to comply with the tent removal, most of it not related to feasting on infants.

​Our feature story last month about Pine Crest School continues to generate discussion and feedback from people who are concerned about the school's future. Lately, two recent graduates came forward to talk about the secretive student groups that met with Hank Battle, the president who served for 99 days earlier this year.

Now, a commenter named Brian Ross, who identifies himself as a Pine Crest parent, says there's another part of the story. He emphasizes the point that to address all the problems the school faces, one needs to look at past decisions.

​Tyler Hadley's allegedly murdering his parents with a hammer before throwing a party at their place is a terrible event, as evidenced by reader reactions to someone posting an advertisement for their murder-scene cleanup company in the comments section.

But as someone once tastelessly said, "You can't spell 'manslaughter' without 'laughter,'" so we'll make light of Hadley's allegedly bizarre and moronic course of action.

Therefore, here's the comment from Tien Truong, which we've placed in the legendary CSI internet meme based on character Horatio Cain's melodramatic one-liners:

Get 'em, cowboy.

​Have you ever looked at the Fort Lauderdale cops on horseback and wondered how they'd really stop a crime if there's a getaway car? We all have.

We brought you a story this morning explaining the "mounted unit" and how they serve the city. One reader thinks the unit is incredibly beneficial to the city -- especially when Billy the Kid rolls into town.

Now serving 30 fewer than before.

​This morning, we brought you some news about a local undercover operation in which cops posed as high school students. The officers went undercover, à la 21 Jump Street, in an effort to take down the delinquents. But unlike the TV show, these cops were going after small potatoes: weed.

This made us wonder whether "Operation D Minus" was really worth all the taxpayers' dollars that surely went into it. Sure, 30 students were arrested, but that will hardly put a dent in the local marijuana market.

Readers sounded off on the New Times Broward-Palm Beach Facebook page about the operation. One reader says there are worse things in life than weed.

​This morning, we brought you news that 2,026 Broward County seniors failed the tenth-grade FCAT, which means they can't continue on to college.

Florida school systems are centered around this standardized testing system that seems to measure a student's ability to take a standardized test -- not their intelligence.

One reader in particular had something to say about it on the Broward-Palm Beach New Times Facebook page. Check it out.

​It would appear that when a suspected fraudster gets elected governor and then uses questionable methods to achieve goals that he won't explain to anyone -- the man even refuses to use email so we won't know what he's thinking -- the public actually still cares. When Rick Scott does something funky, it seems to touch a nerve.More >>

West is offended by Planned Parenthood clinics in black neighborhoods.

​The federal budget deal congressional leaders inked late Friday avoided funding cuts to Planned Parenthood, but a future Senate floor vote on the issue still looms. The Juice has given you U.S. Rep. Allen West's views on the organization and a response from Planned Parenthood about the sexual health services it provides millions of women. Still, some readers are fuming about the issue, including Tim O'Neill, of Pompano Beach:

Ms Lisa Rab writes in the March 31 [issue of] "The Juice" that Rep. Allen West is insane for suggesting Planned Parenthood find "private dollars" to fund its agenda.

Leave aside the $1.6 trillion current deficit and the virtual black baby genocide occurring across the U.S. by abortions. Ms Rab writes that "axing funding for Planned Parenthood won't stop abortions," people will simply have to pay for itMore >>

​Over the past few days, we've received quite a bit of feedback about this week's cover story, about the massive swinger subculture in South Florida. There have been emails, letters, and more than 50 comments between the Broward and Miami readers. We've heard from offended family members, excited swinger rookies, and plenty of religious enthusiasts ready to damn every soul in every sex club.

But perhaps the most interesting yet comes from a poster identifying as "Herpes Helen." Concerned less with the depravity and more with the possible spread of disease, Helen says:More >>
