For the benefit of Mr. Koert


I don't know why I didn't hear about this story when it happened. Maybe I was drunk too. Maybe there are just too many stories about Gasparilla assholery to keep track of. Impossible to tell at this point. The important thing is if statements like this are any indication:

"The government has no proof that Koert knew they were law enforcement officers" in the inflatable vessel, Fernandez (Koert's lawyer) wrote. "This was the evening of Gasparilla. There had been guns and cannons firing and blasting all day long. There had been boats and ships 'invading' Tampa. … Frankly, Koert may well have believed that he was defending Tampa from invading marauders."

...then the trial is going to be as entertaining as the incident itself.

Gasparilla; your source for year-round fun!
