Administrators Ferrariman Posted August 8, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Do you remember the forum jukebox? You could click on and listen to any song from the show while you browsed the site! So totally cool! Unfortunately copyright laws don't allow it anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could embed a Spotify playlist or something though. I think I used to have a page linked in the Community tabs at the top but it doesn't seem to be there anymore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.FL84 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Even the shootings of today don't total what Miami was experiencing the the early 1980's. I think there were over 700 murders in Miami in 1982. Freakin' bodies literally EVERYWHERE. It was all about the blizzard of cash that flooded Broward County. I think immorality in Miami peaked w/ the River Cops. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/drugs/archive/copsgobad.html Edited November 23, 2019 by S.FL84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all has to do with news coverage. Even if that number's accurate (the homicide total), Chicago cleared 800 in 2016, and hovers anywhere between 500 and the high 600s most years since 2012. But since it's nowhere near as glamorous we just get a crappy Dick Wolf show to cover it. Well...I guess technically three, but they're not very good even by his standards.

Yeah but the people of Miami were dealing with the ruthless Medellin Cartel day in day out. Animals that they were would open fire in the street during the day not giving a damn about the public. I would be terrified of the thought of living there during that time. Its sort of a small county as well, the population was in the early 80's was 1.7 million. Chicago for example was roughly 3 million in 1978-80s Edited November 24, 2019 by RedDragon86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
