A 53-year-old Sea World employee was arrested Friday in relation to a shooting that endangered a teenager, Polk County Sheriff's Office said Sunday.

Do Sentinel headline writers get a bonus for including the name of the theme park + the word "gun" in a headline?

[Rusty]

Seems a lot of this story is missing.

[Does It Matter]

Unless the person was arrested is a top level executive, does it really matter where he works? A lot of theme park jobs are the same as working at a fast food restaurant. And had he been employed at McDonalds, that certainly wouldn't make the news.

And why exactly is Sea World involved in this? Completely off topic if you ask me. And I agree with Rusty. The story is realy something and nothing.

I am curious as to how the police arrested him for a incident that they (the police) don't even know when it actually took place.

You got to understand its part of the anti gun crap.By doing this,it shows that workers of theme parks should not carry guns.

I think they're just trying to prove they don't pick on WDW by identifying the arrestee's employer. After all, they caught a lot of flack for the kid in Clermont recently.

If he worked at Bob's Food Mart would this be a story?

Thank you for such a well written article. It had projectiles, guns and Seaworld in it. You are a true journalist.

[stupid libtards]

This article is an example of why journalists should not be allowed near computers.

[actually]

Is a stupid libtard like a republichild?

Anyway, the Sea World link in this story is unwarrented. It gave me the impression, before reading the article, something happened on Sea World property.

This has agenda written all over it.

[sigh]

this story belongs in the Vatican it is so holy...

Don't call it the Slantinel for nothing LOL

Oh goodie! More fun for gun owners. I just love to sigh, actually. Or just bang it - roflmao. Heck, I don't even read the story - just because it involves a "gun" means all my pals will be on this bead - er, thread.

Same here,was it the man's home and was the 17 year old beating up on the 16 year and what relation was either to the man? A poor piece of writing and almost no infomation. shouldn't have been in the paper if they cn't get more info.

Yup - and advertisers on the topix threads. It's money in the bank. Mention "gun" (theme parks and judicial slates notwithstanding) and you've got millions of ads. Forget the comments - it's all about advertising cash that is better spent in pop-ups than in print. "Eddie" you are correct in your observation, 4 sure.

[Diogenes]

Assuming they would even put it in an article, I wonder how they would handle the headlines if one of their own Sentinel employees got arrested for something that was unrelated to the paper?

But then if you don't expect much from liberals then you don't get disappointed.

If it bleeds, it leads. Death, guns, and "rights" rule.

Welcome to Florida where every lunatic who shouldn't has a gun.
The crazier they are, the more guns they own.
