As Hurricane Irma's destructive path nears Florida, a sheriff is warning sex offenders to beware of officers checking IDs at shelters. But now people are worried the rules will also affect others with outstanding warrants.

[...] "If you go to a shelter for #Irma, be advised: sworn LEOs will be at every shelter, checking IDs. Sex offenders/predators will not be allowed."

The sheriff explained the tweet further by writing on top of it, "If you go to a shelter for #Irma and you have a warrant, we'll gladly escort you to the safe and secure shelter called the Polk County Jail."

[...] RT America contacted the sheriff's office, and was told a public information officer would call back with further information.

    "There's nothing better than pissing someone off with unarguable facts."

    I humbly submit that a nice cold beer while doing it is better. Getting a hummer under the table all the while approaches perfection.

    I stand corrected. You, sir, are a visionary.

      On the matter of standing, hiding the hummer under the table is what prevents it from being perfection.
      Proper body shape selection allows for both the troller's beer and keyboard to rest on a naked person. With proper training, she'll hold the screen up to the right height, too.
