A Florida man has gone viral much like his home state by launching into a rant during a county commission meeting about mandating masks to fight the coronavirus, during which he exclaimed I will not be muzzled like a mad dog!
Earlier this week, CNN aired video of local Palm Beach residents flipping out over a mask mandate calling them the devils laws so at least one resident of St. Lucie County promptly had those people hold his beer.

(1,207 posts)I have written on DU before--- we have a mental illness problem in the US. It is easy to make fun of these folks- the nuts, the "Karens" etc, but they are not well.
It's awful.

(14,923 posts)A lot just seem like racist white women (and equivalent men). They may be having some difficult non mental health situations in their lives, and for what ever "reason" a black person(s) appears and "offends" them, and then all their racism comes out extra fueled by their situations.

(13,566 posts)You know, Florida Man, freedom doesn't mean you can do absolutely anything you want. Society has rules. You may have heard of them. For instance traffic laws so people don't go around killing one another with their cars. Laws that say you can't stand up in a crowded theater and yell fire. And public health laws. A recent one being wearing a mask to help stem the plague that is rampaging through our population. You expect other people to be law abiding citizens (bet you're a "law and order" kind of guy) so should you.

Maybe just leftover from the six tall beers he drank on his drive to the meeting.

(10,913 posts)Every last one of them sounds like a two year old who has had their binky taken away. They are throwing tantrums, not voicing coherent arguments.
We need to remind these children that adults sometimes have to do things they don't like. Adults don't throw tantrums, they own up to their responsibilities to themselves and to others.
Grow up. Put on your damn masks.

What is it about Florida that turns many men's brains to shit? Is it inbreeding?

Linky, linky
The victim was inside his friend's boat in a wooded area near Kiwanis Island park that is just west of the Walmart Supercenter located at 1500 East Merritt Island Causeway.
According to Brevard County Sheriff's deputies, 51-year-old Michael Richard Laplante approached the boat around 9:30 p.m. on Thursday and pulled a long metal machete with a serrated edge from a duffel bag. Laplante then allegedly demanded that the victim give him a bicycle that was inside the boat and ordered the victim to take the bicycle from the wooded area to Merritt Island Causeway.
After the two men had cleared the woods, Laplante ordered the victim to go inside the nearby Walmart and steal two six packs of beer, according to the arrest affidavit.
