freaks76 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Why would someone want to do that?? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 And to top it off it was a trained flamingo that would dance for the children. Just heartbreaking. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medford Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Why would someone want to do that?? Florida....seems to attract the strange (and in this case sad) stories of life. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Why would someone want to do that?? He's a real winner: According to the Florida Department of Corrections, Corrao served two years in prison for willfully fleeing and eluding law enforcement; driving under the influence, third conviction; and aggravated assault of a person 65 years or older charges out of Columbia County in north Florida. He was released last year.(From Orlando Sentinel article http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/crime/os-pinky-flamingo-dead-busch-gardens-20160803-story.html )Probably shouldn't be allowed to make his own decisions. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Well that explains a lot. I was starting to think he just found out his homepark was not getting an RMC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 The guy could be heading towards murdering someone. Some killers start out with animals and progress to bigger animals. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Or The original Outer Limits Flight of Fear" with the OTS restrains. An all day event would make him think twice about hurting anything else.... But then again that would be cruel and unusual punishment...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I must be a masochist... 11 times in a row and only stopped because the park was closed. Back then they wouldn't launch without at least 10 people on, so the wait was for a few more people to get on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Poor Pinky. There's been a lot of animals dying due to humans being arses, lately. There's seems to be a growing disconnect between 'self' and the reality beyond self. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethancoaster Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 This story is incredibly sad, but it would make a great "Florida Man" tweet. [EDIT] I was right! https://www.twitter.com/_FloridaMan/status/760858875000217600 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 There's a huge lack of empathy and remorse now. People do hurtful things with no concern for anyone. I have a feeling it's going to get worse before it gets better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 By Royal Decree I hereby sentence you to marathon Mean Streak from open to close. I've got a better one- have him marathon Wild Mouse at Dorney Park (or Skyrush at Hershey) from open to close. That'll teach him! Seriously, though; wow! I'm curious about the events that led up to this guy grabbing Pinky (like, was he mad at someone, or did he do it just because?). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethancoaster Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 ^Most likely the latter scenario. After all, This is Florida. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightoffear1996 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Just wow! Such horrible news. Why can't we all just live in peace. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I'd imagine that aggravated assault charge won't help his case here - just further evidence that this guy is prone to violence. Hopefully Florida law allows for a pretty severe punishment in this case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
