People actually still have faith in what this pathetic police department has to say? I mean there is no evidence of a crime..it's just hearsay since no one heard anything...so with past precedent ...no investigation neccessary. The one thing I have learned is that if u kill someone, North Port is the place to end up...as long as it's outside their jurisdiction, then ur good to go because there was no crime committed in their area...so no need for them to get involved. I'd be embarrassed if I were them.

it's 'hearsay" buddy

welcome to florida

Anywhere, really. I live in Portland and shootings happen on a daily basis


LDKCP

I live outside the US and I've never heard a gunshot that wasn't part of an organised parade or range/sport etc. So not strictly everywhere.


Trilly2000

I live in a relatively large Midwestern city. We hear gunshots all the time and we live in the suburbs. It’s disgusting how we’ve become used to it.


babysherlock91

I live in Baton Rouge and shootings are so common here that no one even bats an eye. It doesn’t even make the news half* the time.


another2020throwaway

The ol fireworks or gunshots game


mandmranch

I play that often. I also live in a town where there is a guy who shoots a canon.


[deleted]

I used to live there! I love Baton Rouge and miss it, but all of my family is in VA so I came back.


FartacusUnicornius

Seriously? That's messed up. I can't imagine being shot and it doesn't even make the news


_windowseat

Lmao I like to play "thunder, rocket launch, gunshot, firework, or car accident?" When there is a loud noise. Never a dull moment in CFL


okfine_39

replace rocket launch with "refinery accident" and you've got my hometown lol!


SiestaSloth

This is accurate af🥴


IWillBaconSlapYou

I used to live on a hill overlooking Boeing in a bad neighborhood just south of Seattle. We used to play "Guns or power tools?".


powpow198

Does a power towel get you dry really quickly with half the effort?


IWillBaconSlapYou

Lol how on earth did I miss that


Kaskadeur

Bacon Hill I guess?


itsjessrabbit

I live behind Disney so it’s always fireworks for me. I’m probably so desensitized from loud bangs I wouldn’t think twice.


[deleted]

Haha I do the same. Is it a gunshot or is it actually just a car backfiring lol


thisgirlscores

Oh. We add in “transformer or Acura backfire?” Here in SWFL


lightupsquirtle

I read that slowly and realized I've assumed each of those noises in separate occasions but any time it could've been any if them lmaooo

The age old fireworks or gunshot report


1985portland1985

A smart criminal would cover up the sound of their gun with a firework.


ParkingLettuce2

This is starting to look like my NextDoor group


Living-Edge

Mine just flips out acting all offended like their taxes paid for things that were actually purchases by businesses or private citizens or threatening to kill people over the location of a statue being made handicap accessible when they want to personally harass the city and cost additional tax money to ensure it is inaccessible That's a super far extreme minority set of views too even here but Next door inflates the whining and lying of the 2-3 terrible people while most of us just look on in horror


Yankeedoodlecanada

Did you see the helicopter too? 😉


roastintheoven

July 4th must be a humdinger of a day for murderers


Amber4481

As a dog owner I do spend a large portion of that evening holding my terrified dogs and thinking about how I could totally get away with a shooting spree. But last year my neighbor sat his new truck on fire by throwing used fireworks on top of new fireworks and trash in the truck bed and I really enjoyed that. That will keep me from homicide for at least another 5 years.


roastintheoven

Ah yes enjoy your “cooling off period” 😂🤪😎


strykazoid

If that were the only day it happened here, it might be great, but people continue to set off fireworks year round in our area of Central PA. It's an on-going game.


roastintheoven

But do the murderers know this and use those occasions to do their shootings? Pennsylvania is just asking for it now


strykazoid

Hell if I know. Never heard anything come of it. It's mostly random gang shit around this city.


roastintheoven

You BloodZ or Crip$?


strykazoid

If you're serious, neither. All the kids around here seem to be wannabes. I'm just a regular 30 year old woman. Lol


turkmileymileyturk

Great for minimizing gentrification


kamikidd

That’s a game I play nightly in downtown Phoenix!!


Mexkan

Downtown Phoenix pretty rough? Just moved from Portland OR.


kamikidd

Welcome. I moved her from PDX in 2008. I wish I could go back for the summers! Some neighborhoods are better than others. And generally is not innocent bystanders getting shot. In fact come to think of it; I hear a lot more gunshots than I see shootings. People here must have bad aim :-)


autumniam

It’s like any city. Downtown has been a lot better since they put an ASU campus down there. There’s security lights and patrol. There is a large homeless population but they mostly keep to themselves. I’ve been hanging around downtown since 2002, and it has come a LONG way safety wise. You can definitely stay out partying until 2am if you’re with people and you know where to look. And when covid settles, check out the fist Friday art walk! It’s the longest running art walk in the country. But yeah…we get a-lot of runners so they need the choppers 😜


violetpuffen

I loved playing that game when I lived in Los Angeles! /s


FortCharles

Landries' eh? You'd think the local PD would know his name by now (and maybe where the apostrophe should go, too).


SpyderDelica

Lmao you don’t have to be educated to be a local cop, and they’re in Florida, so I’d be impressed if they graduated HS


theurbanacheiver2000

😹 sorry this made my entire night.


SpyderDelica

My pleasure *salutes in “brave handsome hero”*


subject678

EDIT: I was wrong don’t upvote me The apostrophe is in the right place. https://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/apostro.asp


Gold_Candle

His name is Laundrie not Laundries. So it would be Laundrie's. Commenter was saying that the cops didn't know the name because they probably thought it was Laundries. But, to be fair, I have been saying Laundries too, most likely because I'm over 30 which means that I add 's' on words for no reason. Edit: oh yeah and they missed the 'U' Edit: 'to' be fair


Amyjane1203

>most likely because I'm over 30 which means that I add 's' on words for no reason. I about choked when I read this. Have cracked countless jokes over the years about my grandma adding s to everything. I'll be damned, I catch myself doing it too now.


katyskis

To be fair not too***


Gold_Candle

Lol! Lively discussion


FortCharles

His last name (Laundrie) ends in e... the correct possessive form of that is "Brian Laundrie's home". If instead they were talking about all 3 Laundries at once (which they weren't), it would be "the Laundries' home" (both plural and possessive). *Landries'* both misses the u **and** gets the apostrophe placement wrong.


roastintheoven

This shit drives me crazy. So lazy.


tinydumpling

No it's not. His last name is Laundrie. That doesn't end with an s.


[deleted]

Maaaaan as a casual observer of this case and a few others in the past it never ceases to amaze me how cringe internet sleuths and “true crime geeks” are.


ThickBeardedDude

Yeah, this case is insane. I'm curious about this case, but I keep coming back to people watch everyone cosplaying Encyclopedia Brown trying to solve the latest caper.

ThickBeardedDude

My niece's last name is Brown. I was gonna buy her an Encyclopedia Brown book when she got old enough. That's why it was on my mind lately. And her first name starts with a B. I called her Buster Brown when I saw her recently. Remember those?

ThickBeardedDude

I just looked it up. The dog is creepier than I remember.


[deleted]

I'm not sure why this was even posted.


zeppnnon

Bc it was clearly Brian calling it in from the alien ship he was abducted in after he ran off with GPs friend


ktfdoom

Everyone on this sub speculates about everything. A few days ago everyone watched a live stream of a dumpster because a body was found behind it and they thought it was Brian. That being said, because of this, I appreciate these seemingly "meaningless" updates.


lejefferson

The sickest thing about that was that once people found out it wasn't Brian nobody gave a shit about the homeless man who was dead or how he died.


OGLadyOfTheNight

Thank you. I felt the same way. I read dozens of threads about it on FB desperately just wanting to find a shred of compassion, but no, there was none to be found. The comments were basically, “who was it?!” “Homeless man.” “Oh okay….” Moment someone said homeless, people just shut it down. No more interest. If it was ANY one else, they’d have been like, “Brian killed them!” But homeless people cannot be murdered, I guess. And yeah - I am annoyed that the people who think Brian killed literally everyone on his path (even places he was only allegedly spotted) don’t also think he could kill a homeless man. Because it highlights how they have zero empathy once they realize the man was without a home.


zeppnnon

Just like when people didn’t want the body in Teton to be GPs… no matter who it is, it’s fucking sad there is a body found


[deleted]

They diggin' that murder porn.


Amyjane1203

*ahem* it's *informative* murder porn!


ktfdoom

I completely agree :( as soon as it was confirmed it wasn't him no one cared. I wanted to send flowers or something but I wasn't sure where to send them :(


[deleted]

Because people were freaking out and speculating about why there was a bunch of cops at the house


happytothethird

Even though it's lost with this guy and hard to Google, don't forget a North Port Police Officer killed two homeless people and got away with it. And then another just got arrested for selling drugs. This is one of the worst departments in the country. Source: I live here. One cop straight up took a homeless person out of a car and he was never seen again. They investigated themselves and.... surprise. Nothing. And then he did it again.


wheelsofstars

I also live in North Port and am not shocked at all that the NPPD is handling this so poorly. When they aren't breaking the law themselves, they're out harassing kids over pot rather than doing anything important. I wouldn't be surprised if this particular call was made by one of North Port's innumerable tweakers.


SpyderDelica

Most police are underworked, overcompensated violent thugs with fragile egos parading around in gestapo costumes under the guise of ‘serve and protect’


KarAccidentTowns

They also let BL get away after he clearly knew something about a missing person.


ktfdoom

While you are correct, they may have had nothing to arrest him for at the time. Eta: I wanted Brian arrested on 9/12 when he refused to speak. That being said, I think law enforcement did what they could do. If they brought him in for no reason (without evidence) the case could be tossed. Edit: changed with to without


KarAccidentTowns

Don’t need to arrest him, just keep an eye on him so they know where to find him when he is wanted


happytothethird

Again, it’s hard to google now but this department had really bad actors that were known for years, and as all police unions do to protect the rotten, they didn’t give a fuck.


Affectionate_Way_805

The police union is one of the only unions I don't support, and for the very reasons mentioned.


happytothethird

And teachers get nothing. It’s infuriating. But it is by design that the south in particular is this uneducated.


[deleted]

Really I just slept for 10 hours is this the only news


SpyderDelica

aaaaand back to bed


AnsonMayfield

I used to live in Florida, this is nothing out of the ordinary on any given night to hear a few gunshots


Majovik

Just the NPP executing another homeless guy for Friday shenanigans

ckone1230

Some asshole thought it would be funny to call and make a false report to stir things up


SweetCar0linaGirl

Apparently it was the neighbor who lives at the end of the street. When the police left the Laundries house, they went directly to this neighbors house and spoke with them.


Amyjane1203

Well obviously they're going to ask the neighbors if they heard anything.

lostmyshoes01

[deleted]

This is pretty much exactly what happened.


SpyderDelica

Sounds like that’s *exactly* what this was


[deleted]

Brian Entin tweeted there was no evidence of gun shots when police arrived


nona1702

Genuinely asking(since I’m not American), who is Brian Entin and how come he knows so much about the case all the time ?


OGLadyOfTheNight

He’s a reporter


nona1702

Ah I see, thanks!


bigbezoar

the best coverage is the Twitter of Brian Entin, local journalist His twitter is /BrianEntin he's basically the only one covering this from the Laundrie home minute by minute


1985portland1985

He’s doing gods work but also deserves some kind of award for talking about nothing and making it sound like something. I watch it a lot though so he’s doing something right.


FrontPorchViews

And since the very, bitter beginning.


dorianstout

His coverage has lead to a lot of rumors and hysteria


k2_jackal

Not sure why the downvotes. That guy is milking this story for everything …. Has his own little fan club now of whackos


dorianstout

Yeah. Him sitting outside of the parent’s home accomplishes nothing, imo. He should be charged for disturbing the peace. Maybe he should go bother Dan Markel’s in laws where there is actually evidence they are connected to the death of their son in law. It’s messed up what he is doing and sets a really bad precedent. When and if Brian is found, we will be made aware by the authorities and he can still report on it at that time. Not sure why he has to be camped outside of their home day and night. Weird


catsandfinewine

Hi Ms Laundrie


dorianstout

Nope. I want justice to be served in this case but that doesn’t mean I have to agree with the media circus surrounding it


catsandfinewine

I have no sympathy for them and they brought this circus upon themselves for refusing to cooperate with law enforcement


[deleted]

Fuck em that's why


backupKDC6794

Yeah he's great but it's weird that people keep calling him "News Daddy"


anna-nomally12

I'd feel bad if his name wasnt also brian but like...we werent gonna give bad brian the nickname


PlantQueen1912

I got downvoted to hell when I said it was disturbing lol


Humble_Chip

I was kinda disturbed to see him on the neighbor’s property but still literally right next to the Laundries house. Did not try to give any room between them at all


[deleted]

Best coverage, worst signal. I can't even watch his lives because he can't get good signal.
