That headline was a better story arc than Last of Us season 2.

Nobody seems to have created a dedicated Florida Man community as of this writing, but there is !florida@lemmy.world.

EDIT: Oh, wait, yes there is. Just no banner. !floridaman@lemmy.world:

Classic cop shit. Show up after all the drama is over. Makes it worse.

There is only one bigger waste of money than cops. And that's the Military. We have nukes. Fuckin' try it. Go 'head. I'll pull the fuckin' temple down on all of us.
