Every time I drove by, those moronic shoppers got the single finger salute. It was so disgusting to see the depth of depravity these money grabbers would stoop. Jubilant to see it gone. Congratulations to the Miccosukee standing up to the orange idiot and his (s)pawn DeSantis.

Peace ☮️

They are working to tear the tents and building down to try to restore what they lost. Lots of concrete needs to be removed, waste and garbage.
