Florida Man Going By “Captain America” Attempt To Bring AR-15 To Tampa Air Force Base
We all know Florida Man is capable of just about anything but this guy, going by “Captain America” attempted to bring an AR-15 to an Air Force base in Tampa.
Last month, Florida Man, 33 year-old Baruche Roche II of Tampa approached the MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa. When guards asked for his ID at the gate, he refused to hand it over and told them his name was “Captain America”. He also told them he worked with the U.S. Special Operations Command and had a meeting to give a general some top secret info.
Now, I’m sure you’re thinking what I’m thinking. That there’s zero chance this guy is up to any good. And also that there’s no chance this guy has been injected with “super-soldier” serum here to have the world. And you would be right. Though in his mind, it sounded like he was on a mission. When they wouldn’t let him in, he started arguing, even threatening that he would come back every day looking for those denying him entry.
He did eventually hand over an old military ID and was detained. But not without his vehicle being searched. And what did they find? According to WFLA, in his truck was a Colt AR-15 rifle and 5 magazines with 125 rounds of ammo.
After the Tampa police department’s behavioral health unit was called, Roche was Baker Acted and charged with possession of a firearm in a federal facility.

13. Discovery Cove- Orlando
I’ve never been to Discovery Cove, but it’s on my list. There are 166 mentions of long lines, but I’m not sure exactly for what. Most experiences there need to be reserved, so maybe for food and drinks?

14. NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex- Merritt Island
To see something as unique as the NASA Kennedy Space Center, don’t let the wait times deter you. There’s only 164 mentions of long lines.

19. Epcot World Showcase- Orlando
I’ve gotten pretty lucky on my trips to EPCOT that lines for rides haven’t been too bad. There are a few that you know you have to wait for though including Frozen Ever After and Guardians of the Galaxy.
