Try As He Might, Not Even Florida Man’s Bullets Can Defy the Laws of Gravity
It’s pretty simple – what goes up must come down. Maybe Florida Man missed that day in elementary school.
FLORIDA MAN STRIKES AGAIN!
DATELINE – Miami-Dade County on the Saga of, as of yet, an unidentified Florida Man who was firing a rifle into the air at an apartment complex. He said that he was claiming to celebrate a new law, that went into effect in Florida, an open carry law.
Well, there are couple of problems here.
I used to watch a lot of old westerns when I was a little kid, and I’ve continued it as an adult. And invariably, you’ll see the cowhands ride into town after a long trail drive. They’re looking for some whiskey, they’re looking for some women, and they’re firing their six-shooters in the air.
Someone will say to the marshal or sheriff, “Shouldn’t we stop them?” And the marshal or sheriff will say, “Nah, it’s all good. They’re just blowing a little steam off.”
Well, as a kid, I used to look at that and go, well, what happens when those bullets come down? Like, isn’t that gravity? What goes up must come down. And I still have that thought as I watch them today.
Well, at any rate, Florida Man firing a rifle into the air. Arrested on 53 total charges, including felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon, resisting an officer with violence, and possession of a short-barrel rifle, plus 48 misdemeanor counts of discharging a weapon in public.
Now, it took a couple of months for Florida Man to be charged with all of this. The reason why is he was in the hospital. It seems that when the police were called, he was told – Florida Man was – to stop shooting and show his hands.
That’s the point at which he tried to run away. Well he had a little difficulty doing that because he had full body armor on. He eventually turned towards the officer. There was an exchange of gunfire. Florida Man struck at least once, taken to a local hospital where he was being treated.
That took about two months and then ultimately arrested. So remember, what goes up must come down, even for Florida Man.
