I think the year after I visited, the Walmart near my sister's place had a gang shoot-out in the parking lot (the greeter got a hole in his car), and my sister wouldn't go there for months.

60 wonderful headlines about "Florida Man". If they've been posted here before, I apologise: I've only just now come across them!

just typed a longer reply and it's now erased/gone..grrr!..now short story. I'm a Brit living in Florida for years .Today I've learned that my ex american born neighbour has died up in New Jersey after a 'police incident' which resulted in his dog being shot dead (I used to walk my dog together) and him dying in custody. Comments I'm reading from on-line north state news more or less say...'Oh, ..a guy from Florida, all explained' Well what I know of him is that he was born and raised up there and his dog was a fun pup to walk with mine before they moved away.

as in there are no bad dogs...only bad owners.

I don't entirely agree, as IMO a few dogs are hard-wired to be aggressive. .... The same is true of humans. 
Maybe "the wrong sort of owner" is disproportionately attracted to pitbulls.
... But my insurance company would disagree as pitbulls get a specific mention in the policy exclusions.

Bizarre story, even by Florida standards, breaking today. Apparently a couple decided to play hide-n-seek in their Orlando area apartment after downing a few drinks. He went and hid in a suitcase and she found him and zipped it up and went off and fell asleep. Woke up a few hours later to find he had suffocated. Emergency services arrived and both cell phones were checked and discovered that he had cried out something like ..'I cannot breath' which she replied...'that's what it feels like when you choke me' this morning she appeared in front of a judge!
