We wrote last week about Gov. Ron DeSantis’ silent, late-night extension of his statewide moratorium on evictions and foreclosures (Monday, Sept. 1) for another month. This is his fifth extension of the executive order – which is good – but in August he changed the wording of the order, allowing landlords to begin filing eviction cases in Florida courts – which is very, very bad. @Matt Rod Just remember all they have said and did nothing to help anyone but themselves. Vote all of them out of office. @Bernie Walls When is he going to do something about extending unemployment for those whose benefits will run out in September and have been told to expect to be out until at least November? On Sept. 2, our political columnist wrote about how President Trump’s inflammatory and foolhardy fear-mongering against Black Lives Matter protesters, amplified by useful idiots like Matt Gaetz, is playing on the fears of his base and making the country a dangerous place. @Olivia Powers I’m so scared for the BLM movement. I’m scared for their attending supporters. I’m scared for those officers that put their lives at risk because the system is so fucked up. Everyone is in a Catch-22. The only person that can lower the tension in our nation wants desperately to go back to 1950s life and has no care who lives or who dies to get there.
@Kim Guzma Here is what makes no sense – the GOP and Trump supporters and sycophants say that Trump is the “law and order” president, while the riots, protests and looting are happening ON HIS WATCH. There is a HUGE disconnect there. The good news is that weed edibles finally got the green light from the Florida Department of Health at the end of August. The bad news is that they took all the fun out of it, banning “icing, sprinkles, or other toppings of any kind” and forbidding Floridian edibles from resembling candy (“Weed edibles finally get the green light from the Florida Department of Health,” Aug. 27). @Nicole Chamaine So I guess that means no THC gummy bears. @Steven Miranda Good. We’re all going to need them by the end of the year @Chris Diggs This sounds like a whole lot of government from the less government side. Republicans seriously are the worst. @Michelle Chambers-Lewis Fine you can have it, but IT WILL NOT BE DELICIOUS!! @Ron Czarnik NO NOUGAT THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!! For real these rules are idiotic. Imagine if they had such dumb and arbitrary rules about alcoholic beverages. @Tiffany Taylor Now can we just get recreational already?

IS THIS FASCISM?
Part One of a two-part series: History might not repeat, but it rhymes BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N
As much as I loathe Donald Trump as both a man and a politician, as much as I abhor his degradation of democratic institutions, as much as it’s simply felt right, I’ve (mostly) avoided the F-word. Using “fascist” casually robs it of import. Think of how Republicans have for decades branded anyone to the left of Friedrich Hayek a socialist, rendering the word little more than a facile slur. Consequently, what was during the Cold War a scarlet letter has become an empty epithet. I don’t equate socialism with fascism. Socialism is a cogent ideology with intellectual underpinnings that can be read, studied and debated. Fascism has never been coherent; it has wrought only death and destruction. That’s why the language we choose is so important. The evil of fascism shouldn’t be cheapened into a synonym for revanchist politicians and reactionary policies. When we say it, it should mean something. But in recent weeks, I’ve started wondering if Donald Trump hasn’t finally crossed the threshold. There’s a point at which a thing becomes a thing, and we do ourselves a disservice by not calling it what it is. Telling truth is more important than worrying about incivility. This is the truth: Whether he realizes it or not, Trump has borrowed a page from the fascist playbook. I’m not referring to his well-documented authoritarianism or even his willingness to steal the election if he can’t win it legitimately. Nor am I suggesting that Trump is planning a genocide. I’m talking specifically about inciting violence against
leftist protesters. That’s how fascists claimed power in the 1920s and ’30s. The Nazis sent Brownshirts to left-wing gatherings to provoke street fights and instigate chaos, most famously the Red Wedding rally in 1927, in which more than 100 people were injured. They then portrayed themselves as victims of leftist anarchy. Sound familiar? There were other factors in the Nazis’ rise, of course: Joseph Goebbels’ propaganda, critical miscalculations by mainstream politicians, the Great Depression and Adolf Hitler’s adroit scheming, among them. But violence was always central, and leftists were the targets. Just before the July 1932 election, Brownshirts marched to a communist area near Hamburg and provoked a shootout that killed 19 and wounded nearly 300. The Nazis secured a plurality in the Reichstag. Then, a month after he became chancellor in January 1933, Hitler exploited an act of alleged leftist violence – the Reichstag Fire, which was probably a Nazi setup – to vastly expand his powers, imprison political enemies and eviscerate the Weimar Constitution. This wasn’t just a Nazi tactic. Before taking power in 1922, Benito Mussolini leveraged violence between his armed Blackshirts and leftists to destabilize Italy “so he could position himself as the person to stop this violence,” historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat told the New Yorker. Again, sound familiar? Consider Trump’s re-election message: Only he can bring order to the lawless chaos perpetuated by leftist
“anarchists and agitators.” The more chaos, the better for the campaign, as outgoing senior adviser Kellyanne Conway admitted: “The more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence reigns, the better it is for the very clear choice on who’s best on public safety and law and order.” Trump has stoked the fire all year – sending paramilitary goons to quell Black Lives Matter protests, using federal police to violently clear protesters from the path of his photo op, declaring antifa a domestic terrorism organization. But when the unrest that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake Jr. in Kenosha, Wisconsin, opened a path to victory, he poured on the gasoline. The president encouraged supporters to drive into Portland and confront demonstrators, calling them “great patriots.” He shrugged when they unleashed mace and indiscriminately shot paintballs into the crowd. He called it “a peaceful protest.” But it wasn’t peaceful. A far-right “patriot” was fatally shot following an altercation with a protester on Aug. 29. Trump held up the incident as evidence of antifa anarchy and called shooter Michael Forest Reinoehl a “cold-blooded killer.” (Oddly enough, Reinoehl, who claimed self-defense in an interview with Vice, was killed by U.S. marshals last Thursday. It’s strange how they can’t manage to arrest anyone but a Trump supporter without killing them in the process.) At a press conference on Aug. 31, before Reinoehl had been charged, Trump said he “shot a young gentleman and killed him – not with paint, but with a bullet. And I think it’s disgraceful.” Trump took a more charitable approach toward the radicalized 17-year-old who’s been charged with gunning down (with bullets) two protesters in Kenosha using a militarystyle weapon he’d illegally taken across state lines: “I guess it looks like he fell and then they very violently attacked him. …But I guess he was in very big trouble. He would have been – probably would have been killed.” He then told Fox News that you can’t blame his supporters for heightening the tension. “I want to leave it to law enforcement. But my supporters are wonderful, hard-working, tremendous people, and they turn on their television set and they look at a Portland or they look at a Kenosha. ... They are looking at all of this and they can’t believe it.” Trump has made other disturbingly autocratic moves of late. His Department of Homeland Security withheld an intelligence brief that mentioned Russian election interference. Trump directed federal officials to cut funding to cities that elect Democratic leadership – or, as he termed it, “anarchist jurisdictions.” Mr. “Voting Fraud Is Epidemic” told supporters in North Carolina to vote twice in ongoing efforts to undermine confidence in the election. But those offenses – even the extortion attempt for which he was impeached – pale in comparison to the obscenity of kindling violence so he can position himself as a strongman who will impose order. As they say, history doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes. All of this raises the question: Is it time to call Donald Trump a fascist? The answer is more complicated than you think. We’ll get into that in next week’s column. Get Informed Dissent delivered straight to your inbox at billman.substack.com.

PROBLEMATIC PICTURES The battle over what happens to digital images of scanned ballots in Florida goes to appeals court BY JIM SAUN DERS, N SF
A
s the possibility of another close presidential race looms in Florida, elections supervisors in eight large counties have gone to a state appeals court in a dispute about whether they should be required to preserve digital images generated when voters cast ballots. The supervisors of elections in Broward, Orange, Lee, Duval, Hillsborough, Palm Beach, Pinellas and MiamiDade counties filed a notice of appeal last month after a Leon County circuit judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit filed by three Democratic lawmakers, the Florida Democratic Party and individual voters. The lawsuit involves digital images that are generated after voters fill out paper ballots and feed the ballots into scanners. The digital images are used in quickly tabulating votes, but the plaintiffs in the lawsuit contend that many supervisors are violating the state’s public-records law by then discarding the images.

Democrats argue that preserving the images is necessary to ensure the accuracy of vote counts, pointing to instances in which paper ballots have been lost or misplaced in Florida and other states. “Despite the automatic availability of the digital electronic voting systems to create permanent digital ballot images, some Florida elections officials have refused to preserve or mandate the preservation of the digital ballot images,” the lawsuit said. “This refusal imperils the validity and accuracy of the votes actually cast in every Florida election in which counties are not preserving ballot images, including those on which federal candidates appear.” But attorneys for Secretary of State Laurel Lee and the supervisors contend that the paper ballots — not the digital images — are the record of how people voted and that supervisors keep those ballots in compliance with public-records laws. “The plaintiffs’ claims in this case can best be char-

acterized as a solution in search of a problem — the plaintiffs seek to add a redundant additional layer to processes at the state and county level to allegedly ensure election integrity,” attorneys for Lee and state Division of Elections Director Maria Matthews wrote in a court document this month. “The supervisors are already required to retain the paper ballots themselves which constitute the official ballot. On top of this ballot retention requirement, state laws and rules require publicly noticed and publicly conducted pre-election and post-election audits in each election to ensure that voting equipment accurately counted votes and otherwise functioned as rigorously certified by the state.” The plaintiffs, including state Rep. Joe Geller, D-Aventura, state Rep. Geraldine Thompson, D-Windermere, and state Sen. Victor Torres, D-Orlando, are asking a judge to order elections supervisors to preserve the digital images and to order Lee to create a rule directing preservation of the images. The requests come as Florida, which has a history of close statewide races, prepares to play a key role in the November presidential election. The eight supervisors, who are described in the lawsuit as being representative of other supervisors in the state, and Lee’s office filed motions to dismiss the case. But Leon County Circuit Judge Charles Dodson denied the motions to dismiss the case against the supervisors and Lee. He dismissed Matthews from the case, calling her involvement “redundant” as she works under Lee. “Accepting the allegations of the complaint as true, which this court must do on a motion to dismiss, plaintiffs may proceed to attempt to prove this case as a public records case,” Dodson wrote in his Aug. 10 order. “It is not a case appropriate for a motion to dismiss.” As is common, the notice of appeal filed last week by the supervisors does not detail the arguments they will make at the 1st District Court of Appeal. But in addition to disputing the underlying issues about the ballot images, the supervisors contend that Leon County is an “improper venue” for the lawsuit against supervisors who are from other parts of the state. In their motion to dismiss the case at the circuit court, attorneys for the supervisors said the process of a machine reading a digital image “takes about a fifth of a second, and once the digital image has been used for that purpose, the digital ballot tabulator automatically clears the image because it no longer serves any purpose.” “Digital images that exist for a moment merely to allow a machine to read a physical ballot and translate that physical ballot into a vote tally are not public records,” the motion said. But the plaintiffs’ attorneys disputed such arguments. “Contrary to (the supervisors of elections’) assertions, digital ballot images have a critical role in assuring that election results are legitimate and that close races have been resolved accurately,” the plaintiffs’ attorneys wrote in a court document this month. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

NEWS NEW BOILING MAD The pandemic has kept bars shut down across the state, even after restaurants reopened. Now the DBPR says bars can reopen if they obtain a food service license and sell any kind or amount of food. Bar owners see the extra license fee as nothing less than a shakedown BY DARA KA M, N SF
H
ot dogs, cold sandwiches and Hot Pockets admittedly aren’t fancy fare. But low-budget, hassle-free cuisine might be a financial godsend for desperate bar owners who’ve been sidelined for months because of the coronavirus pandemic. Tavern owners throughout the state hurriedly are rehabbing behind-thecounter operations, adding triple sinks, carving out prep areas and signing up for food-handling training so they can get the go-ahead from state regulators to turn the lights back on. “I didn’t do anything different but put a damn Crock-Pot on my bar,” Becky Glerum, owner of Paddy Wagon Irish Pub in Plant City, told the News Service of Florida the day after she reopened her business. Glerum was able to start pulling beer taps again after she obtained a food-service license from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, which oversees bars and restaurants. Bars were among the establishments that went dark in March as Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered statewide business shutdowns in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus, which causes the respiratory illness known as COVID-19. Many drinking establishments were allowed to reopen on June 5, following an order issued by DeSantis that allowed bars and other vendors licensed to sell alcoholic beverages to operate at 50 percent capacity while requiring customers to be seated. But three weeks later as the number of COVID-19 cases spiked, Department of Business and Professional Regulation Secretary Halsey Beshears ordered a shutdown of “vendors licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, but not licensed to offer food service.” Beshears blamed the uptick in coronavirus cases on “younger individuals” who packed into bars, pubs or nightclubs and disregarded social-distance requirements that had allowed the establishments to reopen.
Now, departing from ordinary regulations, Beshears says bars may reopen if they obtain a food-service license, and dropped the requirement that a minimum amount of bar owners’ sales come from food. Beshears, a DeSantis appointee, has mentioned the food-service license as a reopening option during meetings with bar owners throughout the state, his spokeswoman, Karen Smith, confirmed in an email. As long as bars are serving dining options as simple as hot dogs boiled in a $13.99 Crock-Pot, the method Glerum is employing, it doesn’t matter how much food they sell. Critics of the state’s approach, including tavern owners and regulatory experts, say it doesn’t make sense. “It kind of is ridiculous because the way they’re trying to draw the distinction is, there’s a distinction of selling food versus not selling food,” former department General Counsel Will Spicola, who also served as director of the department’s Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco, said in a telephone interview. “The people that want to go drink are still going to drink somewhere in some fashion, and drawing the line at alcohol is kind of the arbitrary part of this.” State regulators don’t have the manpower or scientific know-how to manage the situation, Spicola said. “They’re not in the immunology business,” he said. “Their job is not to do social-distance enforcement. Their job is to do beverage enforcement.” Under intense pressure from bar owners for a reopening date, Beshears has said they should plan to remain walled off until the end of the year. Jamie and Sean Dunnigan sunk their life savings into Ollie’s Pub, a small Cape Coral music venue they launched in October. Jamie Dunnigan, a respiratory therapist, reached out to Beshears several times in August via email, pleading with him for help. The couple wasn’t eligible for any coronavirus-related financial aid because
their 48-person-capacity establishment is so new. After getting nowhere, Jamie Dunnigan resorted to sarcasm in an Aug. 24 message to the secretary. “It seems only fair to help us out if we are being forced to remain closed while all other industries have reopened. That and the fact businesses who didn’t actually need financial assistance received plenty. Can you write to my landlord and ask him to be patient and tell him we’re all in this together? The electric company as well. I’m sure they’ll have no problem with that if it comes from you,” she wrote, demanding an answer about a reopening date. “Thank you AGAIN for reaching out. Your constant emailing is not helping nor changing the situation,” Beshears responded the next morning. Beshears said he doesn’t have “an accurate timeline” for reopening. “So, I will tell you what I know for certain and am comfortable with and I mean this very respectfully and politely since you have demanded an answer to that timeline: Do not expect to open up until January 1, 2021. I feel comfortable telling you that. This way when we open bars before that, you can say I did not lead you on that it would be an earlier date. So manage your finances like you won’t open till next year,” he wrote. Beshears encouraged the Dunnigans to “look at getting a food service license from DBPR which would allow you to operate as a restaurant temporarily and provide you with some sort of revenue stream.” The secretary also expressed empathy for the bar owners’ plight, saying he is “genuinely sorry” for the financial hardships the Dunnigans and all small businesses are facing. “It hurts my heart to no end. I do hope you make it through in the end, and can assure you that if you do, it will be because of your hard work, persistence and will; not because of government assistance or financial aid,” he wrote. After getting what Sean Dunnigan called “platitudes” from Beshears in a string of emails, the secretary’s “dismisorlandoweekly.com

sive” final message caused the bar owner to erupt, Sean Dunnigan told the News Service. Dunnigan, who is in the process of applying for a food-service license, also called the food requirement ridiculous. “They don’t actually care if you sell food. They just want you to get the license. To us that looks like the state trying to squeeze money out of people who are already hurting,” he said. “We did nothing wrong. We’re suffering because other people didn’t do what they were supposed to do. … They (state regulators) failed to do their job so they made everybody suffer for it.” The department’s Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a total of 1,657 food-service applications, not including renewals, in August. The agency doesn’t track how many of those applicants also have licenses to sell alcoholic beverages, Smith said. But the reopening option doesn’t work for everyone. Seaside Tavern owner Patti Miracle, whose tiny bar is located in a strip mall in Ormond-by-the-Sea, said she doesn’t have the space to comply with food-service requirements. Her lease also restricts her ability to sell prepared food. Movie theaters, restaurants and schools have reopened, Miracle pointed out in a phone interview. The restrictions on bars don’t make sense, she said. “Life is back to normal for everyone but us,” said Miracle, who’s among a number of bar owners suing the state over the closures. “I don’t fault any of the bars that are doing whatever they possibly can to survive this. But I’m forced to have to liquidate my assets to survive this.” Miracle said she turned into an “accidental activist” after bars were shuttered in the spring. “At the beginning, I was shocked, devastated and confused,” she said. “But now, it’s beyond ridiculous. It’s definitely discrimination. … They don’t want bars that just serve alcohol. They want everybody to serve food.” Miracle’s lawyer, Jacob Weil, agreed. “It absolutely is a gimmick. There’s no doubt about that. There’s no differentiation in the way that they’re operating. It’s simply a way for the Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the governor to look like they’re doing something, which seems to be more important to them than actually doing something,” he said. feedback@orlandoweekly.com SEPT. 9-15, 2020 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

MONSTERS, INC.
The story of one police squad that thought it was above the law is a cautionary tale of law enforcement across the U.S. BY JE SSICA BRYCE YOU N G
T
he monster in the title of I Got a Monster: The Rise and Fall of America’s Most Corrupt Police Squad doesn’t refer to the criminal cops it chronicles, but it would be easy to make a case that that’s what they were. These plainclothes officers held certain parts of the city in a reign of terror that reads like a lost season of The Wire. The story of the GTTF, and the swath of criminality and violence it created rather than terminated, is told in I Got a Monster by ex-alt-weekly editors Baynard Woods and Brandon Soderberg in a staggering feat of research. The two painstakingly reconstructed the actions of the crew from trial testimony, evidentiary text messages, transcriptions of calls from jail and from tapped phones, and dozens of interviews. Orlando Weekly spoke with the authors about how the GTTF can be seen as a microcosm of the “counter-insurgent” mindset of modern police departments – a mindset that’s spreading across the country, as we’ve seen in the increasingly militaristic response to protesters. Can you give a quick synopsis of the events you cover in the book? Soderberg: I Got A Monster tells the story of the Gun Trace Task Force, a Baltimore police squad whose objective was to seize guns and locate gun dealers (essentially doing what police do with drugs, but with guns, all under the auspices that it would curb violence) and instead robbed people, stole drugs, dealt drugs, planted evidence and routinely violated people’s constitutional rights. Our book focuses on how these cops responded to the 2015 Baltimore Uprising following the death of Freddie Gray and their last year in action, when they went on a particularly shocking crime spree that lasted almost until they were federally indicted in 2017. It is a gang story, except here the gang is the police. Woods: And on the other side, since the gang is the police, the investigator is Ivan Bates, a Black defense attorney who had been battling Wayne Jenkins, the squad’s white leader, in court for years. The story begins when Jenkins steals more than $100K from Bates’ client. So, reversing the cat-and-mouse game you normally have in true crime, where a cop goes after a criminal, we have the defense attorney investigating the cop (who is the criminal) and piecing together the crimes – because no one in the system would listen. Baltimore has a reputation as a high-crime city. Is that deserved? And what makes I Got a Monster more than just “a Baltimore story”? Soderberg: The crime here is very real. Especially the homicide rate – which has surpassed 300 homicides per year every year since 2015. The nature of that violence, though, is what’s maybe not perceived accurately – or at least, it’s often simplified. There is deep and pervasive segregation. There is a severe lack of jobs because of deindustrialization. There is an unaccountable political and business class who see it as their only job to give
18
tax breaks to developers and their other buddies at the expense of working people. And there is, as our book shows, just a shocking level of police corruption here – and that is part of that violence too. Cops in Baltimore were creating crime and running a criminal enterprise within the police department. The police corruption is part of, for example, The Wire – it’s there occasionally – but what we came to see is that corruption defines the Baltimore Police Department. Woods: Sometimes it feels like there is no legitimate authority in the city. While we were writing the book, the police commissioner who took over after the GTTF indictment was sentenced to prison for cheating on taxes and the mayor was busted in a crazy, and lucrative, children’s book scheme. And like Brandon said, there’s 300-plus homicides a year and a clearance rate of around 30 percent – meaning the cops aren’t going to get the guy who shot your brother. So people are scared on all sides and arm themselves. That’s what the GTTF was created to respond to – but it only added to the chaos, corruption and violence. This task force obviously believed their wrongdoing didn’t matter because it was in service of taking down “bad guys.” Would you say this is applicable to the police in general? Becoming more so? Woods: Like the rest of us, these cops grew up watching all of the movies and shows that tell us that great cops break rules to get bad guys. They get the job done and they also buck against the bureaucracy and we love them. Wayne Jenkins was exactly that kind of cop. We all made him. But just like he wanted to be the best cop, I think he wanted to be the best criminal. But we, as a society and often as reporters, overlook cases of police misconduct and violence because we are eager to believe they are taking down bad guys. Soderberg: What informed these cops’ criminality – especially Jenkins’ – is the logical extension of American policing: People are the enemy (even though cops are supposed to “protect and serve”), crimes must be stopped by any means necessary (even if that creates more crime) and police are in a war with the citizens (a war on drugs but also in Baltimore, a very similar “war on guns”). This kind of thinking is common in police forces everywhere and it enables corruption. You see this behavior all around the country right now at protests where cops are attacking protesters. If this is what the police will do to people who are in public, you can only imagine what these cops are doing when no one is recording them. And through FBI wiretaps and body camera footage, for example, we were able to see what the GTTF were doing when they thought no one was watching or listening to them. Do you think these guys saw what they were doing as more important than just getting paid?
ORLANDO WEEKLY ● SEPT. 9-15, 2020 ● orlandoweekly.com
Were they shoring up their power in a moment where white people were starting to question police tactics? Soderberg: What happened in Baltimore in 2015 is what happened in Ferguson in 2014 and what happened nationwide this summer following the police killing of George Floyd. We understood these cops in our book as a “counter-insurgency.” They were out there to crush the protests and then after the protests ended, destroy any insurgent sense citizens still felt. They did this by aggressively and illegally policing. They went harder after the uprising. You see that now across the country. People protest police violence and the cops show up and get violent, proving the activists’ point. Then the cops use protests or even just public criticism of the police as a reason why they have to keep doing the kind of policing everyone wants to stop. It’s a pretty good scam. Woods: Paradoxically, the more crime there is, the better it is for police. Every time we surpass the old record of annual homicides, people call for more money for the police, which often translates into overtime for individual detectives and officers. And less accountability – as long as you’re getting guns that the department can put up on Twitter and Facebook, people will look the other way. So if you are stealing drugs and money, you’re creating chaos on the streets, which leads to more crime. Which leads to more leeway and more overtime. You started work a few years ago, but IGAM came out in summer 2020, when it seems like consensus has finally been reached on the idea that policing as it’s being performed now simply does not work. Do you feel optimistic about change happening? Soderberg: I’m not optimistic, but it is encouraging that more and more people are seeing through the rhetoric that protects police and realizing it for what it is. Trump’s rhetoric, police being more brazen in showing just who they protect (or what they protect, which is property) is all terrifying – but it also shows that people in power are scared. Also like Trump, there doesn’t seem to be a bottom to the corruption. Take these stories about the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department having a gang in the department called the Executioners, for example. You can’t “reform” that. What with the ongoing investigation and the fear of retaliation, the logistics of making this book had to be challenging. The public records requests alone must have been insane. Woods: We had a long email exchange with one of the former cops, who was in federal prison, and we spoke with the cocaine-dealing bail bondsman who was probably Jenkins’s closest co-conspirator. But it was also really important to us to talk to the people who had been victimized by the task force. They are the Freddie Grays and George Floyds who lived.

Soderberg: And while there were public records requests, nearly all of them were ignored by the police. One of the few they responded to was to charge Baynard $40,000 for Jenkins’ department emails. So even public information here in Baltimore is an extortion racket by the police, you know? We also would go to the scenes of crimes and walk around and reconstruct the robberies and cross-reference it with details from our interviews and documents and testimony. So that was all used to build out the book’s events because the book (which is all true, just to be clear) really feels like a novel more than conventional reporting. I wanted it to be a piece of investigative journalism that felt like a movie. As I said, IGAM could be seen as just another wild “Baltimore story.” But these task forces and undercover units exist in most, if not all cities. How much oversight is there? How can citizens get a sense of what’s happening with
the police in their own city? Soderberg: In terms of what citizens can do, here are two fairly easy things. The first is that whether you support “defund” or “abolish” or aren’t sure about it or hate it but want there to be changes in policing, you need to concede that those ideas are not any more “outrageous” or “not feasible” than cities spending huge chunks on their budget on police who always ask for more, are unaccountable and are harming citizens. It is very useful to just imagine what a world without police or very different police looks like. The second thing: Try to understand how policing works. I Got A Monster is really intimate and by being so close to them, it’s a case study in how corrupt cops operate. I’m glad you mention these kinds of task forces and plainclothes units because it’s central to this book and I think, many of the problems with policing. We give these plainclothes cops a lot of power, little oversight, and let them run wild. It’s almost like a shadow police force: guys in unmarked cars in cargo pants and henleys driving
around looking for people to roll up on, throw against a wall, chase, whatever. The lack of oversight is the point. The cops in I Got A Monster got away with it because they were also producing results: seizing guns, making arrests. The corruption can’t be extracted from what is considered “good policing” with plainclothes. Woods: Over the last generation, we’ve all but abandoned the 4th Amendment. We need more 4A absolutists, because, in every single town in America, the police have the capacity to engage in some versions of these crimes, because of the power we have given them. We have created a shield of invisibility around police departments everywhere at the same time that we have given them more power – both power over citizens and firepower. We’re seeing similar cases coming out of Mount Vernon, New York, and I think we’ll see a lot more in coming years. But if you want to know about dirty cops, talk to public defenders. Defense attorneys in general, but especially public defenders, are the heroes of the book.

I Got a Monster: The Rise and Fall of America’s Most Corrupt Police Squad In 2015, Baltimore had an uprising
against police violence much like those occurring around the country this summer. When it happened, we were both working at the Baltimore City Paper, an alternative weekly much like this paper – except that it no longer exists. The Baltimore Uprising was the sort of event that altweeklies exist to cover: a massive community-organized protest in response to the death of one of its residents standing up and saying, “no more.” Our coverage focused on the people in the streets – organizers, gang members who were trying to make a truce, for example – and we put the reporting together into dispatches that all assumed the voice of the paper which was the voice, we hoped, of the city. The experiences we had trying to chronicle that rebellion and the police blowback that followed it was ultimately translated into our new book, I Got a Monster: The Rise and Fall of America’s Most Corrupt Police Squad, which came out July 21. I Got A Monster details the way a corrupt crew of cops working in a unit called the Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF) ran a criminal enterprise, robbing drug dealers, stealing and dealing drugs in the aftermath of the uprising. Co-writing the book could only have happened because of the alt-weekly – newspapers where advocacy journalism, narrative storytelling and actually good writing are encouraged rather than discouraged. As we write this, many cities continue to organize against police violence, and after sending in federal law enforcement to snatch people up in Portland, Donald Trump threatens to send federal agents into other cities and do the same. And while their federal authority and intervention is novel, their activities are not. They are an extension of policing as it is intended to function in all of our cities, as this excerpt from I Got A Monster shows. — Baynard Woods and Brandon Soderberg

An excerpt from
Sgt. Wayne Jenkins
Detective Momodu Gondo
DETECTIVE MOMODU GONDO DIDN’T show up for the new GTTF’s first raid. Detectives Jemell Rayam, Daniel Hersl, and John Clewell got the guy dirty in his car, and Hersl and Rayam waited on the porch while Clewell went for a warrant to search his house. “Hey, if there’s any money, you know, we’ll split it,” Rayam said. Hersl agreed. It was no big deal for either of them. Clewell returned with Sgt. Wayne Jenkins and Detectives Hendrix, Ward, and Taylor to execute the warrant. Ransacking the house together, GTTF found weed, coke, heroin, two pistols, and a massive rifle with banana clips. “Hey, did you get any money?” Hersl asked Rayam after the search. “I figured, you know, it should be money in there,” Rayam said. “But I didn’t find any.” There was always the possibility that one of the new guys had found the cash first and not cut them in. Even if they didn’t get any money, Jenkins’s new unit gained glory in the form of news coverage: “Guns and Drugs Seized in Southwest Baltimore Raid,” the local TV declared the next morning with a photo of all the dope and guns laid out on a table. A few days later, Jenkins, Gondo, Rayam, Hendrix, and Ward entered Milton Miller’s row house in East Baltimore and forced him to show them where he kept his money. In Miller’s bedroom, they found a shoe box with $10,000 stuffed in it. They sent him downstairs and stole $2,000. They also found $15,000 in a boot along with fifty grams of heroin. They took the money and left the heroin. A few days later, Jenkins called Gondo, who was with Rayam at an auto shop in South Baltimore. The two were trying to get some additional police lights put on an unmarked car. Jenkins told Gondo about “some fuckin’ ballers” he was up on and suggested getting together to do “some street ripping” later on. “We over here right across from the Ravens’ stadium now trying to get these lights in,” Gondo said. “Oh, you found somebody to do it?” Jenkins asked. “Yeah, we did, man, but I mean, we strikin’ out,”
Gondo said. “How much they want?” Jenkins asked. “They talkin’ like four or five hundred,” Gondo said. “Man, tell them bitches three hundred cash, it’s for the police, Jenkins said. “And they get a get-out-of-jailfree card with my boss’s phone number.” “Right. This is a legitimate business, though,” Gondo said. “They saying, I think they can’t even do it, though, they talking to Rayam now, they saying they can’t do it.” “Man, there ain’t no legitimate business anywhere,” Jenkins said. “Right,” Gondo said dutifully. “Lazy motherfuckers,” Jenkins said. “Tell them we about to drop a case on ’em.”
That night, the GTTF got together for
a series of door pops. A little after midnight, two cars rolled down Baltimore’s historic Pennsylvania Avenue not far from where Freddie Gray was grabbed, looking for groups to roll up on and grab anybody who ran. “A couple of nights a week, we would just go out to hot areas, we would drive around,” Hersl said. “We drive around them areas – kind of go hunting, see what we can get into.” A group of Black men were hanging out near a corner store, some against the wall and one sitting on a bus stop bench emblazoned with Baltimore: The Greatest City in America. Jenkins whipped a manic turn and pulled up to the curb. Clewell popped the door, scattering the group, moving targets running in all directions. Someone in a white T-shirt rushed around the corner, and Clewell went after him, but he was too fast and Clewell lost him. From the back seat of the car, Hersl saw another man dart the other way, holding his waistband like he was trying to stop a gun from slipping through his pants. So Clewell went after the man and Hersl hopped out and ran with Clewell. When the suspect leaped off a retaining wall, a gun fell out on the ground and Clewell grabbed it. The door pop was a new strategy for the GTTF – and it was unconstitutional. But numbers were numbers. They got three more guns that night with door pops. n

BY SETH KUBERSKY
I’ve been burnt out on watching conventional plays via computer, but Phoenix Tears reignited my interest in Zoom’s potential
As a full-time travel writer, I’m
used to flying across the country for research, but thanks to the pandemic I haven’t strayed more than 50 miles from my home since early spring. That was until two weekends ago, when I ventured outside the Orlando area for the first time in almost six months for a brief vacation in Siesta Key. Home to the “best beach in the USA,” this tiny Gulf Coast village has long been my favorite spot for escaping Orlando’s crowds, but what I found there frankly shocked me. Despite it being the traditional “slow season” for tourism, the downtown sidewalks were swarming with mostly unmasked visitors, and prime portions of the shoreline were saturated with sun umbrellas and beach chairs, leaving little space to find a six-foot radius of empty sand. While some of those folks may well have been spreading COVID-19, they were also spending stacks of cash in the local shops and restaurants, and our hotel’s staff said occupancy was approaching what they’d typically see during peak holiday periods. Contrast that with the situation in Orlando, where the summer’s brief post-reopening bump in business has begun to backslide. Universal Orlando recently shuttered two more of its hotels, laying off 1,291 employees, and is now keeping its Volcano Bay water park closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Walt Disney World has reduced operating hours at all four theme parks, and despite last month’s widely reported announcement from the Actors Equity union, still hasn’t restarted most of its stage shows. With previously unheard-of discounts being offered to Florida residents – such as $50/day Disney tickets and “buy a day, get the rest of 2020 free” at Universal – the parks have been packed with locals on weekends, but during weekdays they remain depressingly deserted without out-

of-state travelers to fill them. While those major resorts are likely too big to fail any time soon, the downturn’s domino effect has been devastating on smaller attractions, especially those along the International Drive corridor that thrived on convention attendees. The latest example of this terrifying trend, and one that hit me particularly hard, was the hopefully temporary closure of Sleuths Mystery Dinner Shows on Aug. 23, only weeks after celebrating its 30th anniversary. More than merely serving tourists witty whodunits with surprisingly tender prime rib and bottomless beer, Sleuths provided a much-needed steady second paycheck for many of the theme parks’ most talented performers, and also served as one of Orlando’s best springboards for independent theater outside of the Fringe Festival. I have many wonderful memories of attending shows at Sleuths, and look forward to their most triumphant return in the future. Unfortunately, many of the elements that made Sleuths so memorable – gathering with strangers around a communal table, mingling face-to-face with the performers, shouting questions across a crowded room – are decidedly problematic during a pandemic. However, Orlando’s women-led theater troupe Phoenix Tears Productions (phoenixtearsproductions.com) has been experimenting with a new form of interactive storytelling that takes much of what I loved about Sleuths, gives it a sinister cyber-twist, and transports it into the brave new world of socially distanced online performance. Recovery is a 90-minute participatory performance whose high-concept sci-fi premise posits a world where human souls can be digitized upon death and uploaded into an idealized afterlife, instead of risking purgatory or oblivion. Audience members become newly hired employees of Posthumous, a seemingly benevolent corporation providing virtual nirvana, and are tasked by trainers (William McCoy, Megan Markham) with helping newly deceased customers (Michelle Papaycik, Timothy
Watt) accept their eternity by helping them recall memories leading up to their demise. The main mechanism involves watching conversations among the clients’ companions (Stephanie Rae, Amanda Boldt, Jade Roberts and Melanie Leon), then interrupting their dialogue with questions to provoke revelations about the protagonists’ past; it’s a bit like playing a collaborative game of What’s My Line? on Star Trek’s holodeck. The story, which was conceived by artistic director Mallory Vance and devised by the cast, combines a fairly pedestrian domestic melodrama with some far-out metaphysical concepts that may feel familiar to fans of Vanilla Sky or Black Mirror. I’ve seen enough Twilight Zone episodes to know this sort of thing usually ends badly, but despite being a bit unsure of exactly what we were expected to do, my group’s efforts resulted in a “good ending”; apparently there are four possible conclusions. There was some initial awkwardness as participants accidentally talked over each other, but the performers’ deft improvisations saved the day; Papaycik even performed an unplanned song when prompted. I’ve been burnt out on watching conventional plays via computer, but Phoenix Tears reignited my interest in Zoom’s potential when used in an innovative, interactive way. There were some inevitable technical glitches; the worst was needing to constantly scroll my gallery view back and forth in order to see the active speaker, but a new patch permitting customized layouts could fix that. Vance plans to expand Recovery’s limited “proof-of-concept” run into a larger experience titled Posthumous this December. In the meantime. Phoenix Tears is hosting a haunted audio experience (similar to the headphone-based adventures they’ve staged at Fringe) called Infected Oct. 3-31; see phoenixtearsproductions.com/infected to learn how you (and up to 4 friends) can experience a viral apocalypse … except this time, for fun. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

GLASS OF HEART
Mason Jar Provisions in Thornton Park dishes the goods BY FAIYAZ KARA
“W
ho’s Dave?” I ask through my mask while staring up at the menu inside Mason Jar Provisions. I’m referring to the “Dave Dog” ($12), one of the sandwiches offered at this Thornton Park eatery that opened mid-pandemic. “That’s my dad,” says chef and co-owner A.J. Haines, whose father, I learn, passed away last November. It’s a touching homage, and one that made my decision to order the sandwich pretty easy. I mean, how could I not? It’s more than just a hoagie stuffed with saucy morsels of barbecue-braised short rib procured from the Pit Boss Pro Series, after all. A lot of love was put into that sandwich, and I’m sure seeing people order it affords Haines a semblance of comfort – and comfort is where Haines, a journeyman chef who’s worked in kitchens from Prato to Pizza Bruno to the Parkview, seems to find his inspiration. That might explain the appearance of the fried bologna sandwich ($11) on the menu too, thick-cut buttered toast and all. Speaking of comfort, the sandwiches
were enjoyed in the repose of our home, seeing that the bar stools inside MJP were closed to diners, and the idea of sitting at one of the streetside tables outside in 100-degree heat was foolish at best. But there are those who don’t mind sweating it out – we saw a handful of glistening gals and gents keeping cool with a frosty bev from Burton’s Thornton Park next door. In fact, Burton’s GM Jeff Darnell is the other owner of MJP, which makes for a very convenient partnership. Burton’s, BTW, also offers its cocktails to go. (Oh, and this is completely unrelated, but if you’re running short on croissants, do like I did and pick some up from Benjamin French Bakery across the street while you wait for your order. Their flaky numbers are worth dodging a car or two for.) I enjoyed one of my chocolate croissants for dessert, but not before digging into more of Haines’ savory indulgences, like his beef jerky ($10).
I’ll admit, there was nothing jerky about this jerky. For a second, I even thought we got the wrong order, because the jerky wasn’t the least bit dehydrated nor chewy. Rather, it was moist, soft and tasted a whole lot like the short rib in the Dave Dog. Still, it made for a fine appetizer, and if you happen to be having a cold one at Burton’s next door, you’d do well to pair your brew with this not-so-jerky. Same goes for the bourbonglazed pecans ($6). Deez nuts would’ve made a perfectly fine ending, had I not scarfed the aforementioned chocolate croissant post-meal. No doubt there’s a lot of Southern influence on MJP’s menu – smoked pimento cheese ($9), hush puppies ($8), fried gulf shrimp ($13), collard melts ($12) and the like. Personally, I was all about the boudin balls ($10) and their bulbous smack of pork, rice and jalapeños, though the jalapeño jelly dip was much too sweet for its own good, y’all. Yes, of course there are burgers!!! (I could hear many of you asking.) They’re of the smashed variety, like the bourbon blue ($13) with its boozy batch of caramelized onions, blue cheese, white cheddar and pickles in a brioche bun. The burger, like most everything else served here, held up quite nicely after the drive home. It’s all very takeout-friendly, and the fact that business appears to be brisk is proof positive that the food Haines serves from this little neighborhood joint is resonating with residents. I think Dave would be proud. fkara@orlandoweekly.com
the diningin diaries BY FAIYAZ KARA
German chocolate cake is my wife’s all-time favorite dessert. “No, it’s Italian profiteroles,” she yells to me from the couch while playing Clue on the Nintendo Switch. “German chocolate cake is my secondfavorite dessert,” she declares. “OK, but you never demand I get you Italian profiteroles for your birthday!” I yell back. Anyway, in previous years I’ve procured the chocolate cake with coconut-pecan frosting from various respected bakeries about town, but the best rendition, by far, has come courtesy of Michelle Hulbert who runs her bakery Michelle, Maker of Sweet Things (michellemakerofsweetthings. com) out of the Cuisiniers catering kitchen in Winter Park. Hulbert, who served as pastry chef at K Restaurant for eight years, created a gorgeous four-layer cake enveloped by rich chocolate ganache and topped with a frosting fashioned from toasted pecans, coconut, brown sugar and a wee bit of rum. It was an absolute bloody showstopper of a cake. And it took my wife one week to finish. She might’ve gotten some help. (Michelle, Maker of Sweet Things, michellemakerof sweetthings.com)

sion, not caring that many lines are difficult to understand (thanks to the heavy score and masked characters) and happy that it allows him to showcase eye-popping stunts, mind-bending special effects, globetrotting location work and Hoyte van Hoytema’s 70mm IMAX cinematography. That type of storytelling sloppiness and disrespect for his audience is unforgiveable, especially considering Nolan’s status as one of the five greatest living filmmakers. Maybe he needs to travel back in time himself, to 1998, when all he had was a handheld 16mm camera, $6,000 and a great story. The most frustrating aspect of Tenet is its unrequited flirtation with big ideas: parallel realities, cause and effect, the grandfather paradox and fate. But Nolan, for the first time ever, seems to lack the patience to discuss these ideas. Instead, Tenet is all action all the time, sacrificing heart and clarity for spectacle. So rather than offering a worthy companion to memory (Memento), transference (The Prestige), wormholes (Interstellar) and inception, Tenet gives us inversion, which is visually arresting but philosophically empty. If you love Tenet’s themes, do yourself a favor and watch Nacho Vigalondo’s Los Cronocrímenes or the Spierig brothers’ Predestination instead. It’ll be time better spent. film@orlandoweekly.com.

much to the chagrin of BLM deniers, K-Pop fans have been responsible for quite a lot of late. Here are a few highlights: • K-Pop fans hijacked far-right hashtags like #WhiteLivesMatter, #WhiteOutWednesday and #MAGA with an endless stream of K-Pop videos, effectively rendering them useless for the reactionaries who rely upon them. • K-Pop fans shut down the Dallas Police Department’s iWatchDallas app, which was designed for citizens to use as a “portal for videos of civil unrest.” When Grand Rapids’ police department released its own Big Brother app, K-Pop fan @ngelwy sounded the alarm: “You know the drill! SEND IN ALL OF YOUR FANCAMS!!! CRASH THE WEBSITE!!! MAKE THEM TAKE IT DOWN!!! PROTECT THE PROTESTORS!!!” • K-Pop fans even ruined Donald Trump’s online birthday card. (UNFAIR!)
AGITPOP
K-Pop fans are unlikely – but committed – social justice advocates BY BILL FORMAN
I
f you happen to be among the countless people who’ve dismissed K-Pop as vapid, saccharine and content-free – a kind of Korean dance-music answer to Japan’s Hello Kitty – you may want to reconsider. Over the past few months, K-Pop fans have been leading one of the music world’s most effective campaigns on behalf of the Black Lives Matter movement. While anonymous
hackers have their “we are legion” boast, K-Pop fans actually have the numbers to prove it. With tens of thousands of Twitter accounts at their fingertips, they sent out no less than six billion tweets last year. As Esquire magazine has pointed out, that’s approximately “three percent of all tweets sent by everyone in the world.” But with great power comes great responsibility. And
It gets better. Back in June, after K-Pop idols BTS donated $1 million to Black Lives Matter, their fans organized a fundraising campaign that, using the hashtags #MatchAMillion and #MatchTheMillion, raised an additional million in less than a day. “Just like BTS,” they tweeted, “we were able to donate 1M dollars to help fund: bailouts for those arrested for protesting police brutality, Black-led advocacy orgs fighting against systemic injustice, support for the physical and mental health of the Black community.” So is it possible there’s more to K-Pop than its confectionary blend of choreographed EDM, hip-hop and bubblegum pop? Granted, no one is going to mistake BTS and BLACKPINK for Bob Dylan or Public Enemy. But step beyond the linguistic and cultural boundaries, and you might be surprised at what you’ll find. Consider, for instance, BTS bandleader RT’s collaboration with Nigerian American rapper Wale on 2017’s “Change,” a hit single with lyrics about conspicuous consumption, cyber-bullying and racial profiling. “In America, they’ve got their situations and we’ve got ours in Seoul,” RT told Teen Vogue magazine at the time. “The problems are everywhere, and the song is like a prayer for change. He [Wale] talks about the police, and problems he’s faced since he was a child. For me, I talked about Korea, my problems, and about those on Twitter who kill people by keyboards.” RT’s bandmate Suga – whose “Agust D” solo project scored big on the Billboard magazine Rap Album chart earlier this year – echoed RT’s comments in a BTS press conference later that same year. “It isn’t a BTS album,” he said, “if there isn’t a track criticizing society.” That was three years ago, which in the world of teen-pop is the better part of a lifetime. So at this point, there’s no telling what trends today’s K-Pop fans may be following three years from now. And in a larger sense, that doesn’t really matter, because these online activists aren’t going away anytime soon. They’ve already proven that they’re more clever and resourceful than their counterparts on the right. They’ve shown up the hypocrisy of a culture that’s more interested in virtue signaling than meaningful change. And, like it or not, they are legion.

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● SEPT. 9-15, 2020 ● orlandoweekly.com
My question is on managing “gray area” intimacies during the pandemic. I have a lover/friend that I’ve been hanging out with – fucking, drinking tea, going on hikes, eating ice cream, watching movies and other activities – for about nine months. He’s 36 and was married for 10 years and due to that experience he’s been a bit emotionally “boundaried,” but he’s still really sweet and a good communicator. I’m in grad school, so the small amount of time we’ve been spending together has worked well for me. Here’s the issue: He’s also an ER doctor. Do I keep seeing him during this pandemic? I just moved to the city where we both live for my grad program and he’s my main source for connection, comfort and support here. Every time I see him we both feel tremendously less stressed and our connection feels emotionally healthy. I just know he is bound to be at a huge risk for exposure and since he’s not a committed partner and we don’t live together, I don’t know if he falls within or outside of my physical distancing boundary. It seems like the best thing to do from a logistical perspective is hole up with my cat and not see another soul in person until a vaccine is invented or something, but I don’t know when that will happen. Physical Distancing Do’s And Don’ts
porch of his home when he gets home from work. His clothes go straight into the washing machine, and he goes straight into the shower. “I’m still afraid of bringing it home,” Summers says. “But with four kids home from school, my husband’s sanity depends on my being present as much as I can. So for me, staying away isn’t an option. That’s not the case for PDDAD. She has to decide whether the indefinable risk of exposure isn’t worth it. Or, alternatively, she can decide the connection she has with him is important enough to her own wellbeing that the risk is worth it. But only she can make that decision for herself.” If you decide the risk of infection is too great – or if your boyfriend decides the risk of infecting you is too great – you can still be there for each other. You can Skype and Zoom, you can text and sext, you can leave groceries on his porch and wave to him from the sidewalk. But if you decide to keep connecting with each other in person, PDDAD, you should minimize the amount of time you spend moving through the city to get to each other’s places. And that means – emotional boundaries be damned – picking one of your apartments to hole up in together for the duration.
“This is really a matter of a personal risk/ benefit calculation,” says Dr. Daniel Summers, a pediatrician who lives and works near Boston. “What PDDAD is willing to accept as a risk may be different from what someone else would.” And there’s definitely a health benefit to getting together – we are social animals and isolation is bad for us – but your lover is at high risk of infection. And when front-line health care providers get infected, they tend to get sicker than the average person who gets infected, according to CNN, which is something else you need to factor into your risk/benefit calculation. Additionally, does your boyfriend’s workplace – I’m going to call him your boyfriend for clarity’s sake – have the protective gear he needs to minimize his risk of exposure? “We’re all doing our best to take as many preventive steps to lower our risk of being exposed,” Summers says, “but there’s still a maddeningly unacceptable shortage of personal protective equipment like masks, gowns and gloves nationwide. I hope he has sufficient access to these things. But is there a risk he could get exposed to the virus at work? Definitely.” Summers lives with his husband and four children and in addition to the precautions he takes at work – where he may be seeing patients with coronavirus (he doesn’t know for sure because tests still aren’t available) – he strips down to his underwear on his front
I’m pro-sex workers and believe adults should do whatever they consent to, but I’m curious if that applies during the current pandemic. I know of a sex worker who’s still offering himself to clients, who are apparently still hiring him. (He regularly posts of his exploits on social media.) Should the authorities be made aware of this? Just Concerned If the authorities want to start rounding up reckless idiots who are endangering others, JC, the beaches of Florida might be a good place to start. Or the Oval Office. And if your first impulse is to involve the authorities, then you aren’t “pro-sex workers,” JC, because the authorities – particularly the police – are a danger to sex workers. Instead of calling the cops, reach out to this guy and encourage him to see his clients virtually. Instead of face-to-face (or face-to-whatever) meetings, he should go full camwhore for the time being. So if you want to want to help, JC, and not just police or shame, you should hire this guy to do an online session. (And everyone should bear in mind that sex workers are suffering right now too because most are being responsible and not seeing clients. Their incomes have plummeted to zero and they aren’t eligible for unemployment benefits.). I’m a queer poly woman and I have a two-part question about sexting/Skype sex. I didn’t used to think twice about shooting
off a nude or a nasty text in my 20s and I’ve never had qualms about casual relations. But I’ve always needed a baseline of friendship. After getting burned a bunch of times – especially by straight men (queers and other genders are generally way kinder) – I just wasn’t feeling it anymore. Fast forward a few years: After doing a lot of work I started feeling myself again. I started talking with a man that I’d met through mutual friends and flirted with a little in the past. I was upfront with him and told him I would be down to get dirty again sometime but needed to build up some form of friendship first. He enthusiastically agreed and started talking to me about this and that every other day or so. We were talking about meeting up in person when the coronavirus lockdown happened and now my libido has shot through the roof. We ended up exchanging photos and got off on FaceTime together. After that, crickets. I would send an innocuous question and get a two-word response. I feel really disrespected and used but at the same time I can see how he doesn’t owe me anything. My questions: What can I do in the future to avoid this sort of situation? And, while we’re all in lockdown, do you have any advice on how to be hot over video when you’re generally a clumsy spaz? Female Resents Insincere Efforts Necessitating Deceit Unfortunately, FRIEND, there’s no surefire way to prevent people from lying to you about being friends in order to get into your pants – virtually or eventually – or to prevent them from changing their minds about being friends once they’ve gotten into your pants. (The former is more likely, but the latter does happen.) Your only options are relying on your bullshit detectors to weed out people you think might be playing you and getting better at shrugging off, blocking and forgetting the dishonest people who manage to get past your bullshit detectors. As for tips about being hot on Zoom or FaceTime or Fox Nation or whatever, I’m afraid I can’t help you there, FRIEND, as I am the clumsiest spaz that ever spazzed. I hate having my photo taken and if a room is dark enough for me to feel comfortable getting naked in it, it’s usually too dark for someone else to see me – whether they’re in the same room with me or sitting in front of a computer on the other side of the world. But someone who’s more at ease in front of the camera (and with whom I’m currently quarantined) tells me that slightly dimmed lighting is better than harsh lighting, leaving something on is hotter than taking it all off, and – if you want to maintain your anonymity – keeping your face and any identifying tattoos out of the shot is a good idea. mail@savagelove.net orlandoweekly.com
