Facebook fight between 'keyboard gangsters' ends in shooting

Associated PressAugust 10, 2018, 9:31 A
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — It started on Facebook, as many political arguments do these days.

A Florida man responded to a friend's post about President Donald Trump. His response wasn't about Trump, it was about felon voting rights. And that's when the squabble between the two fortysomething men exploded into a flurry of private messages and took an ugly turn.

The argument escalated into threats and taunts of fighting, police said, and ended in a shooting that left one of the men wounded.

This is why the Locker Room banned talking politics.

Just in time, too. I was about one post away from driving to Defuniak Springs to take someone out (if I couldve found Defuniak Springs).

Agree. Although I never wanted to shoot anyone. I just wanted to tell them they were morons. But cooler heads prevailed.

Jeff Cameron was talking about this on his show Friday. Mocking the 2 guys as it moved from FB thread to DMs to car to the address with a honk to let him know you were there for him.

Well, now that you’re all relaxed I imagine you’re less argumentative.

 

[TallyNole93]

And in Florida. Imagine that.

You talkin’ ‘bout my brother? EZ, now...
J/K, but that place has a large contingent of folks with access to guns and the internet. Are some unstable? Well, I resemble that remark.l

Dude...you said nobody else would see it.

Thanks a lot.

Dude, I thought the Warren Zevon song was “Send lawyers, guns, and money.”
Your picture is more like “Has guitars, guns, and belly.”

Zevon gets my vote.

Tampa?

Which Florida city has the highest per capita number of Florida Man?

Not sure if it's a city, but Riviera Beach usually excels in this area.

 

[LesClaypool]

Which Florida city has the highest per capita number of Florida Man?

I would guess Lakeland, or somewhere else in Polk County.

Think Chicago

Had a great 4th of July weekend in Chicago, hit up the beach, rented a boat, some great meals. Wandered around a few different neighborhoods.
Not a single Florida Man sighting though. Thankfully.

As just about anywhere, it's all about which neighborhoods you wander around in:

This is a different type of violence than the type Florida Man prefers. It lacks a sufficient number of the following: reptiles, cousins, weddings, cousins weddings, teachers, murders protected by law, disputes over property lines, IPod minis, jason aldean, and dog poop.

 

[RTM58]

So you're saying Chicagoans lack imagination, but apparently not determination.

"Violence in Chicago over the weekend was about normal for summer — at least 37 people shot — and for that city officials were relieved.

The toll was down by more than half from the previous weekend, the city’s most violent in more than two years with at least 74 people hit by gunfire. On Aug. 5, more people were shot in a single day since at least September 2011, when the Tribune began tracking every shooting in Chicago. At least 47 were hit by gunfire, 40 of them during a seven-hour period - Beyonce was in town." - Tribune

Did anyone throw an alligator through a drive thru window? If not I can't really see much comparison to the deeds of a true Florida Man

Yep.

 

[ReliableOstrich]

Yep.

WOW. Just wow.

There should def be mandatory minimums for drinking deep fryer oil.

Honestly though, whether we're talking about Florida Man or Chicago crime, what we're seeing is the product of decades of decline in public education and opportunity.
You are a reflection of your experiences and interactions and when most of what you see or hear tells you you aren't worth much or expected to do much, you do stupid crap, like sodomize a flamingo.

These folks might be the punch line but our nation's education and mental health failures are the set up.

W in T actual F?!?!?! 25 gallons of deep fryer oil?!?!

Get me off this planet.
