If Florida didn't exist, we'd have to invent it..

He's about a 7/10 on the Florida Man Scale. Not a bad try.

I give this dude 6.5/10.

Got out of jail, hailed a cab for a 35 mile ride, couldn't pay the taxi driver when they got there, nor could his sister or his roommate. Cabby calls cops, dude is arrested and put back in jail. Well done, laddie.

In any other state in the world that would garner at least 8.5/10. That it's only worth 6.5/10 in Florida speaks to the quality that Floridians bring.

Florida is indeed impressive, but we shouldn't overlook the contributions of other US states. For instance, Arkansas would likely elect that goober in Florida. Here's one of their leading lights.

Tom Cotton to gays: Get perspective. At least they don't hang you

Appearing yesterday on CNN, Senator Tom Cotton (R) urged critics of Indiana’s “religious freedom” law to get “perspective,” suggesting the treatment of LGBT people in Indiana compared favorably to countries where gay people are executed.

“I think it’s important we have a sense of perspective,” Cotton said. “In Iran they hang you for the crime of being gay.”

That's a pretty low bar. Thank God for Iran.

Of course, it says something about America that this dumb cunt is allowed on national TV.

We are the best at it, no point in false modesty. California does produce some impressive loonies, just look at Charlie Manson, but they don't have that redneck panache. "Hold my double skinny mochaccino latte and watch this" just doesn't cut it.

Man Killed By Armed PSU Officers Had Valid Concealed Carry Permit

Jason Erik Washington, the man killed by armed Portland State University officers early Friday morning, had a valid concealed carry permit at the time of his death.

Two of Washington’s colleagues and at least one witness say Washington, 45, was black.

Keyaira Smith, a witness who took video of the moments leading up to Washington’s death, told OPB that he was “trying to be a good Samaritan” by breaking up a fight.

Video footage shows what appears to be a black object attached to Washington’s right side as he’s seen pulling one man off another. Two PSU police officers can also be seen.

“The gun slipped out of the holster when he had fallen, and I think he may have tried to retrieve it,” Smith said. “Then they said ‘gun.’”

That’s when police fired, she said.

Good plan. Shoot all the ones holding guns. You never know about Samaritans.

[JimC]

Everybody forgets all those Bad Samaritans...

He was too poor to get a gun to shoot those toddlers

Should have got him an Obamagun when he had the chance.

My aunt teases her husband about being worried the Feds are going to show up at their place because of all the Hillary ammo he bought. Apparently he was worried she was about to take the guns.
