First time ever I read “Florida man” in a surprising positive context.

Some context for Ukrainians and Europeans in general, Florida is indeed batshit crazy. Florida is not the same as the rest of the US, it has to be considered as a seperate entity that belongs to the US but cannot be summarized easily alongside it.

Within that vortex of chaos is an injustice that I must point out, Florida allows reporting more liberally around using the name of people suspected in a crime or convicted of it. This results in newspapers and tabloids being able to more easily make sensationalist headlines like classic "florida man lights school on fire with napalm alligator" type headlines sell papers because they include specific names and more specific details.

Other states in the US tend to consider how this type of unhinged news coverage could hurt people and as such there are more penalties for jumping on the bandwagon as a sensationalist news entity...

The crazy shit still happens in Florida, it isn't a lie, but also there is a distorting lens being applied to it is what I am saying.
