What's wrong with Florida?

that guy lost his cool. cop probably would've just given him tickets and sent him on his way.  that shit escalated quickly. seemed pretty typical traffic stop for typical bullshit. the window tint thing is common in florida. lot's of people get stopped for that.. at least they did when i lived there. 

that was pretty crazy though. the guy just took off and i thought that cop would get run over but he sorta tumbled away. looked like probably got banged up.. you can tell the SUV goes outa control when it goes around the corner and hits the median or something. crazy. what a shitty day for everyone involved.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - An inmate (Ethan Russell, 18) wrote in a letter that he planned to bomb several locations, including the White House, the Orlando airport and the DeLand courthouse, then join ISIS because he didn't like the government for putting him in jail, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.

Police are looking to identify a man who told a Walmart salesperson that he was looking for something "that would kill 200 people."

The Port St. Lucie police are asking for the public's help in finding the man, whose picture they have from security footage.

The man, who police say appeared to be 50 to 60 years old with grayish black hair and a goatee, approached a sales clerk and allegedly asked "can you sell me anything (or a gun) that would kill 200 people?" according to the police press release.

A white man got angry with his black girlfriend who reportedly wanted to role play “slave and slaver,” which resulted in the pair getting into a spat that brought Tampa-area cops into the mix.

Police in the Florida town of Bradenton arrived at the home of Kenneth Atkins and Ashley Edwards to find the pair “engaged in a verbal argument over refusal to role play,” according to an Aug. 6 affidavit.

“Ashley stated she wanted to play slave and slaver because she is African American and he is Caucasian,” according to the Manatee County Sheriff’s office report. “Kenneth did not wish to partake and became verbally aggressive.” As tensions escalated, Atkins “spat in Ashley’s face,” police reported.

A Florida police officer was suspended after he arrested two young children in school last week, including a 6-year-old who was acting out because of an apparent medical condition, a relative and police said.

the 6-year-old was charged with battery after she kicked someone at Lucious and Emma Nixon Academy, a K-5th grade charter school in Orlando.

The 8-year-old, who was arrested in a separate incident, was processed and later released to a relative.

Oh thank goodness.  This thread had been so uncharacteristically silent, I was worried Florida may have finally gotten its act together.

The mosquitoes have been goddamn atrocious this yr.

Ribeyes fall out of man's pants as he flees police, bro gets tasered

Steak stealing's pretty common everywhere really.  A guy stuck several steaks under his trench coat while I was on shift working at a grocery store many moons ago.  But he got off a lot more lightly.  Manager just screamed at him to put the steaks back, then told him to fuck off.  No taser to the junk.

More than once in Florida, I saw kids running out of groceries or gas stations with armloads of beer.  And domestic too.
