I tricked them, he said. If they had done any research they would have known who I was.

(569 posts)Given the price of property in south Tampa, it's ridiculous that he needs a GoFundMe for his funeral, his family could sell that piece of land he bought to fly the confederate flag on.

(11,692 posts)Exactly what happened was still unclear Thursday, but Ayala said the family suspects Lambert was injured during a run-in with a bull named Levy about 2:15 p.m. She said surveillance cameras captured Lambert walking to a neighbors house in an apparent effort to get help, but he collapsed in the driveway, his little white mutt Dotty by his side. Another passing neighbor spotted Lambert laying on the ground and called 911.
