#3 I would carry mace or whatever was "legal" for self defense in Florida. The pizza guy was almost all sauced up! How much dough did the robber's get?

#6 TH1864 - follow the story's link for 'More Articles' with the next headline being 'Man with no legs shot and killed'. Its a quagmire out there I tell you, a quagmire. We need to pull out of .... Tampa? Wonder how the prisoners are treated in the high security prisons down in Florida. Guess if they're not perfectly respecting the poor misunderstood perps like this shooter, they need to close the facilities.

#7 TH1864--I agree it's crap too. Sounds like a bogus drug deal went down and he was too afraid to report it. Then he decided to make up some B.S. story to cover his injuries and make himself look good.

This guy and the "runaway bride" would make a cute couple, don't ya think?

#10 FYI, no excuse not to be armed. Florida is a "Shall Issue" concealed carry state. You can even get a carry permit as a visitor - apply via mail, the local police do you fingerprints & photo, the sherrif there does permit.

#11 OS, is that true for foreign visitors, too, if they comply with fingerprinting and photo?

#12 Huh. I wonder if they've ever read Snow Crash. You can read the opening bit here.

Congrats to Mr. Stefanelli. He just became Deliverator of the year.
