I have written many posts about the often stranger than fiction adventures of Key West homeless woman Kari Dangler, whom I slowly came to realize is a seer. She doesn't like Key West's homeless shelter, KOTS, and sleeps outside at night in a hidey hole. KOTS is on the sheriff's land on Stock Island, the next key above Key West.
Email chain about Kari being stranded in Florida City, started by me to the sheriff:
After returning to Key West from Florida City, Kari reported days of vomiting, and then all coming up was black fluid. She also had diarrhea. She said she had stopped drinking vodka when she was last in the sheriff's jail, and had not drank since. She endured the DTs when she was in the motel. I said black stool means blood in the stool, but black vomit could be bile, the gallbladder and liver purging decades of drinking vodka. I said it might be an angel-designed purge. The throwing up and diarrhea slowly eased, ended. Then, mucous started coming up out of her lungs. I said that looked like purging decades of smoking cigarettes. She said, no way. I said, for real, that's what smoking does to the lungs. Be grateful. Angels of the Lord have plans for you. Be grateful. She did not seem entirely grateful, but she did seem to think I might not be entirely full of shit.
When Hurricane Irma seemed headed toward Key West in late August 2017, Kari called me to report that when she woke up in her hidey hole around dawn, she saw two giant arms and hands come down through clouds and nudge Irma slightly eastward. As Irma closed in on Key West a few days later, she turned slightly eastward and Key West only experienced her "clean side", while 20 miles up US 1 to Key Largo received Irma's "dirty side", which was much worse than her "clean side". Neighborhoods below Seven Mile Bridge were wrecked and covered with debris piles, boats, wrecked land vehicles; canals were filled with debris and sunk boats; old trees were uprooted. Key West was spared because Kari was trapped in Key West. I published the Key West City Commission should give Kari a key to the city, a free apartment, and a monthly stipend for life. Instead, KWPD kept putting Kari in Sheriff Ramsay's jail for hanging out in public places KWPD had told her not to hang out.

homeless Key West resident in Florida City motel pass through your checkpoint?
Hi, Sheriff Ramsay -
Sorry to bother you during this
very trying time. I've been keeping up online with your and you[r] troops'
tough efforts.
Kari Dangler, a homeless friend
of mine, frequent KWPD arrested visitor in your Stock Island detention center,
shows 3400 College Road (KOTS) home address on her Florida ID. When Kari first
came to your detention center several years ago, she had lived for a number of
years with a Key Largo man in his home, where she was arrested by a p[r]ior
sheriff's deputies.
As reported by Kari, several
weeks ago, she traveled with a homeless man friend by Key West Marathon
shuttle, and then by mainland bus shuttle, to a Florida City motel. The man had
money and paid for the motel room and groceries from nearby Walmart. After a
while, your checkpoint at the top of the keys went into force. Yesterday, the
man told Kari to leave within a few day's time. Being homeless in Florida City,
which Kari does not know, could be very bad.
Kari says she and the man do not
show coronavirus symptoms.
My question is, if I can get Kari
to the Miami West Greyhound station and on a Greyhound bus to Key West, will
she be allowed through your upper keys checkpoint?
Thanks,
Sloan Bashinsky

Sloan, I am sorry, but according
to the County rules she would not be allowed in at this time. She might
not show signs of the virus, but could have it and be a medical threat to KOTS
and the Key’s.

Thanks. Sheriff
Kari told me tonight that she was
tested 4 days ago by a roving vehicle clinic and scored negative and she has
the paper report. I said there is no way she or you can know if she later
became infected. Even if she she gets tested tomorrow, still no way to know if
she gets infected tomorrow afternoon. I told her that I think this has to do
with her being homeless and KOTS, and if she had a home (house, apartment) in
Key West, she would be allowed to return. But then, how can it be known if
anyone coming into the keys for any reason is not infected?
I hope God has a rescue plan for
her.

Hi again,
Sheriff Ramsay
Hope all is well
with you and your family and friends.
Here's a Kari
Dangler update.
I read Kari your
email about her not being allowed back into the keys, because she could be a
threat to KOTS and the Keys. Kari’s deadline to leave the motel room loomed.
Her and my efforts to get her out of Florida City to somewhere else failed. I
told her to get quiet and tell God she needed help and advice. She said she
would do it.
As reported by
Kari, about 15 minutes after she made the prayer, she spoke on the phone with a
homeless friend in Key West, who stayed nights at KOTS. He said he had a homeless
friend who stayed at KOTS and had a car, and they would come get her and bring
her back to Key West. Two days later, the two men drove to Florida City, picked Kari
up at the motel, and headed back down US 1. When they reached the checkpoint
operated by your sheriff deputies, they were stopped, asked to present photo
IDs, which they did, and were waived through and made it back to Key West.
I told Kari that it looked like
God wanted her back Key West.
Kari said she called KOTS the day
she returned, and was told she could not stay there, because KOTS was not
accepting new clients. I said a time will come when KWPD finds her sleeping
outside at night and she tells them what KOTS told her. Kari also may tell
KWPD what she told me: that she is coughing up mucous from her lungs for about
a week. Maybe KWPD will not risk putting Kari in a police cruiser. I figure you
don’t want Kari in the detention center.
I am copying Key
West City Commissioner and attorney Sam Kaufman with this correspondence,
because I saw him in a dream last night; he successfully defended Kari in a
trespass arrest by KWPD; he had a great deal to do KOTS being built in 2004;
and he, Father Steve Braddock and Florida Keys Outreach Coalition ran KOTS for
many years.

You should
notify KOTS of her signs and who picked her up so they can take measures to
protect the others. You should as well advise the health dept.

Hi again,
Sheriff Ramsay -
I live in Alabama since late fall 2018 and think you, Sam Kaufman and county officials you copied should take this from here.
I live in Alabama since late fall 2018 and think you, Sam Kaufman and county officials you copied should take this from here.
I called Kari
and and said I had emailed you this morning and what you replied. She was not
happy with me (understatement).
Kari said the
mucous is due to she quit smoking while she was in the Florida City motel,
where she was tested negative for coronavirus by a mobile testing clinic; she
had smoked since she was in high school. She said she has not had fever,
scratchy or sore throat, infected sinuses, or a deep cough; she isolates and
wears a mask everywhere she goes, which she told me the other day is required
of everyone down there.
Kari said she
does not know the name of the man who drove his car to get her in Florida City,
but he is known as "Cheech". Kari said that about a week ago the
other homeless man, Joe Patton, wrecked his bicycle, fell off and fractured a
hip that had been replaced, and was taken by ambulance to a mainland hospital,
Adventura? Kari said Joe told her on the phone the other day that he was tested
negative for coronavirus prelude to hip replacement surgery.
I told you in an
earlier email that Kari told me that she and the fellow she was with in the
motel were tested negative by a mobile clinic.
I use the blue
paper to keep up with coronavirus infections and related government proceedings
in Key West and the Florida Keys.
Ms. Gray said her
son, Will, is terrified because his cellmate was coughing all the time and had
been asking the guard for medication for nearly a week but guards had ignored
his pleas. “He wants to warn of a potential outbreak of COVID-19. His cellmate is
sick and showing symptoms of COVID-19, coughing and running fever,” Gray
wrote...

Captain David Dipre said that FWC is seeing a large numbers of non-residents in
the County.
“The FWC was out
on the water this weekend. A large number of out of town people on boats –
definitely non-residents we did a lot of checks. But that is what was expected
once Miami began to open up the boat ramps. About 150 boats – maximum – at
Whale Harbor. Rodriquez was also busy. Playa Largo was also very busy on the
water. We worked all of those areas.”

Key West City
Manager, Greg Veliz, announces Key West beaches and parks are open to
residents...
A Key West
friend told me a little while ago on the phone that restaurants and retail
stores down there were allowed to reopen at 25 percent capacity.
I understand the
need to reopen down there and hope there is not a coronavirus resurgence.

She said she had stopped drinking vodka when she was last in the sheriff's jail, and had not drank since. She endured the DTs when she was in the motel.
