    Yeah, but the sheer amount of "Florida man" coverage is desensitizing for the place as a whole.

    Like this Florida man throwing an alligator into a Wendy's drive-thru window.

    Or this fella, falling asleep while trying to rob a home.

    Or this guy, running a roadblock and crashing into a medical helicopter.

    Edit: Honestly, I thought this was fake but: This police record of one "Crystal Metheny" stating she fired a missle into an occupied vehicle.

    "Believing something is not an accomplishment. The stronger your beliefs are, the less open you are to growth and wisdom, because “strength of belief” is only the intensity with which you resist questioning yourself. Listen to any “die-hard” conservative or liberal talk about their deepest beliefs and you are listening to somebody who will never hear what you say on any matter that matters to them — unless you believe the same. Wherever there is a belief, there is a closed door."

    Well yeah, but that feeds into the narrative that if you focus on Florida, you're going to get more Florida stories. If you buy into all hunters are Huntards, you'll never run out of stories where hunters do dumb things and completely ignore all the terrible mages and warlocks.

    We just need more people here who don't like Cali or New York to get all the odd ball stories from there. The joy of having a job that travels around to all the states is I get to read a lot of the local papers. Madness and Tomfoolery is everywhere.

    Yes, but this thread isn't about those locations. I agree, if those places got more focus then we would become desensitized to stories from there as well. Florida man is just the prevailing locale for the stories of crazed crooks.

    Why didn't the police confiscate the handgun back when he pointed it at the woman? Casually brandishing a firearm is against the law pretty much anywhere....maybe not Florida?

    Great Hunters are like Unicorns. We hear about them, but never see them. Are we sure they exist?

    Is it bad that I'm disappointed that this story is "regular person crazy" and not "Florida crazy"? Before I read the rest of the title I was hoping for something like "shoots up woman's house for refusing to play Barbies with him" or something equally Florida-ridiculous

    So you have levels of crazy and Florida is the pinnacle of it? Do you have a citation book and you go around to the Florida level crazy people and hand them the citation that says "If you keep up this level of crazy, You must move to Florida"?

    Nah, not levels like that, I'd say killing a person over something stupid and petty is crazier than throwing an alligator through a drive-thru window, but the alligator story is the funnier and more bizarre kind of crazy! But yes, all the bizarre crazy people should move to Florida so they can be kept in one place and continue to give us stories that we can call "Florida Man".

    Killing someone over a TV, not crazy, just dumb

    Killing your own girlfriend in a hail of panic bullets when you are the only one with a gun. Now that's some special crazy. I bet he was holding the gun sideways too.

    I'll agree, throwing an alligator through the drive through is a ROFL kinda crazy. Did you see the video of the woman going nuts at McDonald's drive thru over nuggets and threaten to assume her true form? Not in Florida, but should be required to move.

    It's funny because the people who were at that sit in fighting gun legislation had armed guards outside the door.

    That Florida Man is surely running wild, so many stories almost daily, when will they stop him already?

    He is too powerful. We do not have the technology to stop him.
