When a pharmaceutical transaction goes awry…

BY JAKE FULLER

  • Why must it be it be a black man… why not a white man, or asian , hell even an Mexican …. Bad decision…

    • Yeah those Asians have just been shooting up Gainesville of late…I mean when I look at the Mugshots page all I see are pictures of these crime-ridden Asian people.

    • Is that a joke??? Or are you blind to this thug mentality, ghetto, high poverty, low education, high drugs… But no accountability

    • I don’t think it’s the White, Asian or Mexican men making those bad decisions.
      Nice try at deflecting though, you should run for city commissioner.

      • Thanks!!! maybe you should run for city commissioner as well, by making it a black man , just seems low key racist at best , I thought all ppl of all races make bad decisions. Not just black ppl, it’s a stereotype that all black man.

        • While you are correct, humans from all ethnicities make bad decisions, however the context of this satire is Alachua County, where 90% of the crime comes from 20% of the community.
          If it hurts to understand that, then change the situation, don’t burry it.
          BTW, we’re all one race – human. Stop it with the white, black, asian, hispanic races crap.

        • I could never win an election in Gainesville. I don’t have a “D” as my party of Dumbarse, nor do I possess the moral deficiencies and both financial ineptitude and incompetence of those you’ve elected to rule over you.

          You did make a valid point though, people of all races do make bad decisions – look at who’s been elected as City & County Commissioners as well as who’s sitting in the White House. Those were bad decisions.

          Some people just aren’t capable of learning.

    • Yum have you looked at surveillance tapes in the last year of armed robberies in the area. Pretty accurate picture. In fact this illustration almost fits the mugshot of the suspect caught in Live Oak who is also a suspect in Gainesville robberies. DUH

    • I never could understand it. They can afford cell phones, drugs, and such but can’t afford a belt. It’s all about one’s priorities.

      Thanks Jake!

  • This caricature is who our commissioners are referring to when they say “people on probation.”

  • Astonishing and shameful. I thought the day of “Sambo and Jemima” caricatures were behind us.
    Disappointed that editors allowed it.
    “Moreover, negativity is extremely contagious. When people around us are pessimistic, indignant, and rageful, we’re soon likely to become that way too. This is how today’s culture has produced mass neuroticism.” David Brooks

    • I would say, “criminality is what’s dangerous. When the people who inhabit society are uncaring, disobedient, unlawful and have no respect for others or their property; that society has devolved about as low as it can go. These are the behaviors that many progressives have chosen to not only allow, but condone.” ~ Me

    • I guess you better get your believer checked. They still sell Aunt Jemima syrup and pancake mix in 2024. Now in today’s world Sambo is a form Russian martial arts.so those two words still exist. The meanings are complete different today then yester year. Why keep trying to bring back old history. You can’t change it. But today all you need to do is look at the mugshot from area arrests and nationwide and see the illustration is true.

  • I hope there will also be a cartoon showing the other races that make up this community such as the meth heads and bank managers who steal from target smh

    • Hey Jake, you can’t think that way or draw that way as you’ve offended a couple folks who can’t see what’s going on around them. They also don’t pay attention to what’s going on around them either, as they must live in La La land with butterflies, singing birds with only blue skies, the city of Gainesville that is. Since some of us do pay attention, it seems like 90% of the shootings around Alachua and Marion counties are committed by the friendly group so accurately depicted in your drawing. But shame on you Jake! 😂

  • They changed the aunt Jemima brand name and logo Cause yk… it was racist but i guess the cartoon is cool just hope the next one is a white person in bed naked with a dog and a sibling 🤣

    • You can still buy Aunt Jemima products on Anazon and have it delivered tomorrow. I don’t think they changed the name. By the way some of the best breakfast food out too.

  • 21% of Gainesville is black. More than half the people arrested, all racially biased pinches, none were guilty, were black. Regularly 75 Plus percent are minorities, there are some hispanic names and faces showing up more lately, but the more than double representation of black faces in the arrest area is not all bias, they are doing most of the crime, sadly, against each other. Chicago, 90% of the murders are black on black crime. Solution? Plenty around but no one will implement, including education and respect for elders, each other, and strict parenting. Get rid of the ipads, phones in every pocket, and talk to each other.

  • As always, Jake starts the day off right. Always hold the gun the way you lift it out of the box.
    Sideways 😁

  • The only racism in this town is black on black crime. Quit looking the other way if you really care about your community. Fix it start neighborhood watch. Stop feeling guilty about turning anyone in who is breaking the law. This the same mentality that exists in the middle east where Good People are afraid to speak out because of terrorist in the neighborhood. What good is the useless NAACP if all they do is pat each other on the back?

  • I truly believe, if we all pray for these people like this, in all races, the Lord will hear our PRAYERS and answer them, some of us may not like the answer, but, it will be in our best interest.

  • Dear Jake: Please take a gun safety class at your local range. In your picture the shooter has his thumb behind the slide. If he fires the gun like that, he will have very serious injury to his thumb. As a public service, please draw cartoons that train local gangstas in proper safe gun handling techniques so they won’t get hurt as they shoot at each other.
