Only hearing about the crazy shit is the same reason Florida seems so crazy. “Sunshine Laws” in Florida mean arrest records are public information in Florida. A cottage industry has sprung up around scouring arrest records for ludicrous arrests or weird things that happened around them. It’s not that Florida is any more crazy than the rest of the country. We just hang our dirty laundry in the front lawn for everyone to see. Don’t believe that crazy ass shit isn’t happening in your neck of the woods, too.

That said, Florida is kind of crazy, though. At least some of it is imported crazy from other areas, though.
