My friends and I were musing how we could embrace our inner Florida Man. My idea was to bike to work with no shoes or shirt. My friend said it would be better if I was also carrying a 12-pack of PBR on my shoulder while biking. ---

“Florida Man Asks Wal-Mart Clerk for “Anything That Can Kill 200 People”” Apparently he was a gun-control advocate making a “point”, which resulted in wasting several hours of his time and that of multiple police officers, though not in any charges. ---

I saw him. He’s the only one I saw kicking me, so I don’t know why he’s not getting charged.” I’m not a lawyer, but I think I recall seeing a Legal Eagle video on YouTube where he said you can’t pick a fight with someone and then turn around and sue them because they fought back. You would think Florida Lawyer would know that. Although the video I saw was probably talking about civil law, and in this case he’s talking about criminal law, so it might be different. ---
