Under the category of people who have no apparent self-awareness or any internal meter that tells them when it’s time to just go away, former Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel is running to get his old job back. In fact, he’s holding a fundraiser tonight at a restaurant in Davie, Florida to raise cash from, well, we have no idea who’d want to contribute to this campaign.

This is the same man whose jaw-droppingly inept operation contributed directly to the deaths of innocent students and teachers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last year.

The law enforcement agency he oversaw was so utterly incompetent that one of the first official acts by Governor Ron DeSantis upon being sworn into office was to finally fire Israel.

But Israel thinks he did a helluva job while in office. When his failures of leadership became manifestly evident during the investigation following the Parkland massacre, his only response was, “Lions don’t care about the opinions of sheep.”

Tonight, the alleged king of the Broward County jungle will be holding a fundraiser to finance his effort to put himself back in charge of the 5400 employees who help to ensure the safety of almost 2 million people.

If you’re a Broward County resident, you may want to be there tonight. If so, publishedreporter.com has helpfully compiled just a few questions that, at minimum, Israel should answer as part of his quest to get his old job back. To those, we’d add just one more…Have you no shame?

  1. I believe this individual may be suffering with some form of mental retardation.

        • Dan Quayle was right “A mind is a terrible thing to lose”.
          I know of at least a dozen sufferers. So pathetic. Trump is on their mind 24/7.

      • The good former Sheriff is actually a sheep. He would do well to stop trying to convince people he’s really a lion. Pretty soon the pretense becomes too embarrassing, even from the loons who live in Broward County.

    • Or cognitive dissonance where he has rejected our reality and replaced it with his own.

    • Make that, two of us would appreciate an update, please.

      I’m sure one will be forthcoming anyway, but I learned, long ago, to not assume anything. Besides, Dad taught me it’s always polite to ask, and to say, “Please.”

    • Oh, leave the restaurant be. They’re just taking his money like they probably would anyone else.

  5. Oooo. Can I make a negative donation? If so, I’ll donate what the “Green New Deal” is projected to cost in Pennsylvania alone. Just one state’s worth of money will do for me since I’m not greedy.

    Cash only though Mr. Israel. I don’t trust you not to bounce that $2 Quadrillion dollar check!

  7. The governor of Florida ran him off , I think there will be some legal matters to tend to First, I can’t see people donating

  9. Someone better be selling rotten tomatoes outside the venue. How’s that for a donation?

  10. Well lets see if the 3 drunks who show up and give him $2 a piece. Expecting a bourbon in return makes tomorrows news.

  12. Why shouldn’t he run again? He’ll probably win. It doesn’t matter either way; if he doesn’t get nominated, some other yutz who’s pretty much a carbon-copy of him will, and they’ll sail to victory in Broward County.

    • Wow, this is why our Country is so screwed up, people dont care! would rather let this imbecile back in office than keep him out!!! the man was fired, why should he get the job back …he was incompetent ! so , you might get another incompetent individual, he or she might get fired too, unless someone comes along that has the gonads and knowledge to do the job as it should be!

      • Being incompetent will only help his chances. Just look at Sheila Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters. They’ve been in office for decades!

  13. The truly sad part is I heard this morning two people who were excited about him running again because they were so impressed with how he stood up to the NRA.

    Intrigued I listened some more and to parphase the conversation they were really disappointed that Trump’s rethuglicans (they actually said it that way) kicked him out just when he was finally getting something done about all these kids getting shot in school.

    Sometimes I really hate this State.

    No…. that’s not fair…. Sometimes I really hate the people that move to this State.

    • Oh, come on now. It is more than just the people who move there. You have to admit that there are a huge number of morons, commies, moron-commies everywhere. Although FL is sort of like CA in that the climate attracts many outside morons. Then they start to overwhelm the not moron-commies unfortunately.

      • Well you know we need a bunch of leftie fools to move here and buy up properties so we can leave before sea level rises.

  14. This guy is the typical disgraced liberal “it’s not my fault and I deserve my job back” what a jackass. I knew when he stood up in front of those cameras the day he was fired and claimed he didn’t do anything wrong he would try to come back. It’s hard to believe he ever made it as far as he did. What an assclown!!

  15. If florida is anything like Mass. where the state and the local police and the government ok a LTC. I have a question, after his own officers let him know of the suspects/shooters mental problems, who signed off on the permit?

    • There is no license to purchase or possess. Only license it to carry concealed.

      For now. The lefties are massing for a voter initiative Constitutional amendment on the 2020 ballot. They have a LOT of signatures to go, but I’m worried, because the idiot voters in this state almost always pass the moronic amendments, which is why Florida now has pig farming practices in our Constitution.

      • And, you can bet 10’s of millions of out of state money, ie: soros and bloomberg, will pour into your state to make sure the proposition passes. There should be a law against out of state money being allowed.

      • this guy was a political hack who was following the program and doing what he was told…until he was exposed impersonating a law enforcement officer…

  16. But Scott says he did an amazing job!! That reminds me, Creepy Porn Lawyer said he did an “amazing job of representing Stormy Daniels”

  17. lmao, the fired coward of broward county running for the office he was fired from for cowardliness and imcompetence, joke of the year!!!

  19. Can we send him a carton of pink panties and depends? Maybe that will get the idea across.

  21. The man is a legend… in HIS OWN MIND. Living less than 10 miles from the Parkland massacre sight, I wouldn’t even want him to be a resource officer in my kid’s school.

    Sad for the dumb and blind who may actually donate amid the fog and clouds of bullshit!

  22. If those idiots down there vote for him and put him in office they get what they deserve

  25. This Zero should be charged with premeditated murder, dereliction of duty, accomplice to murder, and I hope the victims of his neglect will seek compensation from his family, his jurisdiction, county and state. It’s time to hold public officials responsible for there actions.

  26. Some people voted for Hillary, knowing what she did to the women that Bill abused. She tried to ruin them.

    • I don’t think Bill abused those women. They had their reasons to allow Bill access to their bodies.
      Hillary certainly abused those women.

  28. How come, in addition to his termination, his FDLE Certification wasn’t rescinded? Gross Incompetence and Criminal Neglect are sufficient reasons for rescinding his certification to even seek employment as a Law Enforcement Officer in any capacity. Makes me wonder why a peer review of his actions wasn’t court ordered? Quite frankly, I wouldn’t trust the Asshat to be in Animal Control or in Parking Enforcement.

  29. considering the state of florida voted in amy brainfried and other communist ( you know, the ones that call themselves “democracts”) I would not be surprised if he does get his job back. people are, for the most part, STUPID.

  33. He is being supported by several anti-gun groups including the ones pushing for a Constitutional Amendment to strip all Floridians of their 2nd Amendment rights by outlawing all semi-auto rifles. He would revel in going house to house like a stormtrooper confiscating and arresting everyone who didn’t “voluntarily surrender their guns if this ballot measure passes.

    • Yikes! … I was just saying that, when low and behold there it is …
      Couldn’t have said it better myself!

      • Yes, the Liberals have removed their gloves, now let’s put our brass knuckles on, fuck that son of a bitch and may He burn in hell for having something to do with those kids murders

  36. With that level of delusion he should just run for governor of Florida. Even better, announce that he will be running for president of the United States on the Democratic ticket. He wouldn’t be any more deranged or incompetent than the other hopeful idiots.

      • Half of the candidates don’t meet it, either. That’s what’s so hilarious about the Dem candidates. Out of all of the people vying for the nomination, the leaders according to all of the polls are two old, white guys!

  38. The democrats will vote for this guy. Democrats are incapable of being judgmental and holding a elected democrat accountable.

    Florida democrat voters have voted for judges convicted of taking bribes. New York City democrat voters have voted for people being held in jail.

    Democrats are proudly nonjudgmental.

    Republicans are very judgmental because democrats complain about it. The three L’s complain about it too.

    Democrat voters also reelected the school board members that kept the Parkland shooter in school.

    Democrat voters are very dangerous to your person safety.

  41. If anyone is stupid enough to give money to this incompetent let alone vote for him after 17 children shot to death due to the lack of leadership and not seeing the obvious or living in a world of that could never happen to us. There is a very warm spot for that kind of person who is probably trying to get his job back having been a favorite of the idiot before.
    All the parents that lost children all the friends of parents have only one JOB, STOP fired incompetent, stupid ass, NY native, Scott Israel from even showing up for the election. Support your great Governor and his wisdom in kicking that dirt bag out of his position.

  42. A local election deals with people you will interact with. I have expressed my opinion above.It is important to have a good sheriff.
    Tony was a poor choice. A teen ager hung himself in the Tony jail. He could not make a budget and is guilty of a crime. He will take $30 million of public funds to build a facility that is already available. He has no business sense. He is financed by an idiot hedge fund owner who has money to waist.The owner is supporting the teenagers hanging.I am a candidate. BBA JD Mensa member IQ 150. USMC. 747 airline pilot retired.I will end drug addiction in Broward and protect our firemen from getting cancer.I cannot be bought. Like the prior sheriff who went to prison. Remember you are voting for one person not a deputy. The person must be an administrator. Not a deputy that read about crime. I request your vote and we will not have the events that came before as putting drugs on innocent people.Read I am still standing by Raymond Hicks. I can save thousands of lives
