Christmas parades are usually full of joy, but total chaos erupted this weekend when a Florida Grinch started shooting at a Christmas parade in Middleburg.
‘Tis the season for Christmas festivities. Caroling, Christmas markets, light shows, pictures with Santa and Christmas parades. There’s so much going on here in Fort Myers every weekend, it’s hard to have to pick and choose what to do. Add in other towns in Southwest Florida like Naples, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs and Estero and the list of events keeps growing. In Middleburg on Saturday, a Christmas parade took place, but things took a terrifying turn.
Total Chaos Erupts When Florida Grinch Starts Shooting At Christmas Parade
Christmas may not be for everyone. I have some friends that are ALL about Christmas, and others that prefer any other time of year over this one. According to WJXT, 43 year-old Douglas Moore became “agitated” by the parade festivities on Saturday. So what did he do? He started shooting right where people were. Talk about a real Grinch! In what was surely a frightening situation, thankfully no one was hurt and deputies responded immediately.
Moore may be spending Christmas in jail. A post on The Clay County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page says he’s being charged with six counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, reckless discharge of a firearm and using a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.
20 Christmas Movies with the Most Swear Words
20 Christmas Movies with the Most Swear Words.
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Why would anyone want to watch a Christmas movie with lots of swear words?” Well, I’ll tell you why. Because Christmas movies with lots of swear words are the best kind of Christmas movie!
First of all, they’re more realistic. Let’s face it, most Christmas movies are pretty unrealistic. They portray a world where everything is happy and perfect and everyone gets along. But in the real world, people swear. A lot. And it’s not just a few bad words here and there, either. Sometimes people let loose with a string of profanity that would make a sailor blush.
So when a Christmas movie has characters that swear, it makes them more relatable. It makes them feel more real. And it also makes them more human.
Second of all, they’re funnier. A lot of times, the best comedy comes from swearing. It’s the crudeness and the shock value that can make a joke really land. And what’s funnier than a Christmas movie with lots of swearing?
Not only are they funnier, but they’re also more memorable. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a Christmas movie and the only thing I can remember about it is a character dropping an F-bomb. That’s because the swearing sticks out. It’s different. It’s not what you’re expecting to hear in a Christmas movie, so it sticks with you.
Lastly, they make you feel more festive.
