Bunch of morons, consistently good weather means nothing but "party time". No time to pick up a book and gain some knowledge or learn a skill. Combined with old people waiting to die and immigrants from the carribbean.

I would imagine various parts of southern California share similiar traits.

I like Florida. the gulf coast is nice, i've been as far south as Naples, where my parents have retired. the gulf beaches are pretty, full of dolphins, warm, and generally inviting as long as there isn't a hurricane pushing through... the weather isn't as bad as people make it out to be. the drive down from the midwest through the south is hoosier as fuck, though. can't really speak for the Atlantic side.

it's pretty much southern California, but with nicer beaches. more sandwich shops, less taco trucks. more old people waiting to die, less lifestyle clothing companies run out of mom's condo. more hurricanes, less earthquakes.

In Miami there are some parts where NO ONE knows English. One time I got lost and went to various CVS / Walgreens and gas stations for directions and none of them could help me. It was like I entered the goddamn Twilight Zone.

Florida honestly isn't that bad. There are "less-than-intelligent" people here but for the most part its like any other state except we have baller weather all year.

The vast array of races of people combine together to produce tremendous amounts of fail. When it comes to building cars these people have totally different taste and motives.

Born in Florida, i've seen it change big time. 80's-90's it was big mud trucks and lower riders. 21st-century began the import cars and then the donks.

When it comes to weather/bugs. Tropical climate,it's not for everybody.

The only thing I enjoy about Florida is the hot women and lackidasical rules when it comes to vehicles. No emissions. No annoying cops pulling you over for nothing. I got pulled over one time for speeding and I was let off with a warning, the cop also told me my tints were too dark and I said the only reason why I have darker tints because my car doesn't have A/C, he didn't really argue with me after that. LOL.

edit:

And the weather is only nice when the humidity is low. On most days you could slice through that shit with a kitana.

LOL ya the beaches here suck until you get to southern OC and San Diego county. I would take Earthquakes over Hurricanes any day of the week though. At least we only have Earthquakes occasionally vs Hurricanes every season type thing.
Plus there are some redeeming things here that Florida just does not have. IMO.

Ya and fuck humidity. That is definitely fail and Florida has a shit ton of it. Give me dry heat any time over humid heat.

Oh and ya women wear skimpy clothes here because of the heat as well. :D

Oh and don't listen to what people from Norcal say about SoCal. Most of them were taught to hate SoCal since they were babies. Its a right of passage. ( they stole our water, the people are plastic, to many stars, to much traffic, blah blah blah. Its all propaganda and San Francisco is the best place on earth :rofl:) Don't get me wrong San Francisco can be cool but come on people the best place on earth? sheeesh.

I love Florida. Keeping my cars registered there saves me tons of $$$ and I'll never hafta deal with smog again. There are tons of babes there, but every time I go to Miami everyone automatically assumes I speak Spanish. I can get by with SoCal Spanish, but north-Cuba, aka Miami, is a whole different ball game. It's fucking miserable there from April/may till almost sept. goddam love bugs and crazy humidity. Not having to pay state income tax is rad too. The housing market is dirt cheap right now, and the cost of living is cheap too.

Too bad so many of the people are dumb as shit tho. My brother said it best, "Florida is just the south, with a beach".

North Florida weather is terrible and the beaches suck haha. Atleast north of Daytona has blue-ish water... Jacksonville has brown water. The humidity is pretty rough some days but thats what air conditioned shops are for.

Hurricanes do not happen every season. You really only have to worry about hurricanes if they are CAT4/5 and you live on the coast. With CAT1/2 you can literally go outside and walk around and be fine (as long as you're not directly on the coast). I was always scared of hurricanes when I was younger but living in Florida for 10 years now they are nothing to be afraid of. I'd be much more concerned with tornadoes, but those rarely happen here, and if they do they are weak.

California = North Mexico.
Florida = North Cuba.

Generally, the closer a place is to the Equator, the more terrible it is.

No. More like...

Miami = Cuba / Jamaica.
Orlando = NYC/Puerto Rico/Dominican Republic
Rest of Florida = white trash / red necks.

One mans wine is another mans grape juice. The trick to SoCal is living in the right places. I am not championing all of it. Truth be told the trick to anywhere is picking the right places.

On the NorCal tip though the bay area can be nice its one of the most expensive places in the world to live.

Ya and typically you completely miss the fact that a non Californian brought up California in this thread.
Oh and that happens quite. often. Are we supposed to just let people talk shit about our state and not speak up? Wow, I think have discovered another Zilvia double standard. People can talk shit about California but good forbid Californians say anything in defense.

Hell Even some Florida fans are defending Florida .

perhaps you should take some time to rethink your words because they are making you look exactly like you claim Californians are. :rofl:

Sweet. I despise Miami ever since my Twilight Zone experience. Taking I-95 down that way, once you get to Ft. Lauderdale area people drive fucking insane. You'll start to see donks, people doing 90+ swerving lanes, you really have to be careful. One time on my home from Miami I saw a bad accident, some unknown car was crushed into a tin can and a red F150 was split in half.

edit:

Driving down Ocean Drive is super busy, you'll see Maserati's, Lambos etc everywhere. All the restaurants on the strip were probably $Texas, I never bothered to even attempt to eat anywhere in the area LOL.

Florida fails because it always tries biting the California style and fails miserably.

Funny how California has the strictest laws against cars yet has set the standard for the rest of the nation. If it wasn't for California everyone would still be running KA's with open air intakes and drop springs.
I think Nitekids said it best.


"You also have to remember southern california is the epicenter of import performance so during that time while everyone else in the US is running piggy back systems alot of us were running stand alone systems. We would get all the top end shit first.

Also another thing is to find a tuning shop to even tune it wasn't even an option for you bfe boys while we had:

XS Engineering

SP Engineering.

Another claim for fame for us is James of G-dimension.com is the first in the US to ever drop in a SR in a US 240sx in march of 1995."


"Also gotta hand it to non fugita of Enovative force. In Late 1998/Early 1999 he put this thing together long before the 240sx caught wind in the US.us

It took the rest of the country this long start catching up to California? You just can't deny the facts Corbic. Nobody out here has heard of rust and finding parts is no problem at all. What exactly is available in CA that isn't available anywhere else? You aren't special, get over yourself.

Florida fails because it always tries biting the California style and fails miserably.

Funny how California has the strictest laws against cars yet has set the standard for the rest of the nation. If it wasn't for California everyone would still be running KA's with open air intakes and drop springs.
I think Nitekids said it best.


"You also have to remember southern california is the epicenter of import performance so during that time while everyone else in the US is running piggy back systems alot of us were running stand alone systems. We would get all the top end shit first.

Also another thing is to find a tuning shop to even tune it wasn't even an option for you bfe boys while we had:

XS Engineering

SP Engineering.

Another claim for fame for us is James of G-dimension.com is the first in the US to ever drop in a SR in a US 240sx in march of 1995."


"Also gotta hand it to non fugita of Enovative force. In Late 1998/Early 1999 he put this thing together long before the 240sx caught wind in the US.us

Custom2 aero
In house fender flares
*
(KA at the time of this first photo shoot and even droped in a fully built tomei (before anyone heard of them) motor in 2000/2001. Talk about california cars being ahead of the rest of the US"

both of my parents are from Cali and I even lived there at one point and never have I ever seen anyone trying to "bite California style" just because you guys think you're awesome cause you had the Fast and the Furious doesn't make it so.

I've been to FL to go on a Cruise and I thought it was pretty cool. There were $100k cars and hot Latinas everywhere. It was humid as fuck though like Guam and the Philippines. So that's why I asked.

equator man, equator.

and the tourists, if you go to the local shops here, there are a lot of morons but thats everywhere. where we hurt most is those stupid fucking tourists that don't know how to drive or the kids who think that because they own the most overrated car in America that it automatically makes them awesome, but then again, thats everywhere also.

The only thing I enjoy about Florida is the hot women and lackidasical rules when it comes to vehicles. No emissions. No annoying cops pulling you over for nothing. I got pulled over one time for speeding and I was let off with a warning, the cop also told me my tints were too dark and I said the only reason why I have darker tints because my car doesn't have A/C, he didn't really argue with me after that. LOL.

edit:

And the weather is only nice when the humidity is low. On most days you could slice through that shit with a kitana.

How else would you get them there? I doubt if a cop pulled you over with a loaded AK-74 sitting in your passenger seat, he wouldn't give you shit. Why would you need to get started on the numerical difference in hot women? Of course there are fewer here... There are also fewer greased up meatheads fist pumping and trying to date rape them. Also it would be safe to assume there are fewer people with STDs.

the only reason the st. johns flows north is because GA sux..

More guns, less taxes, no emissions.

Cali = democrat florida = republican generally..


There are more "accessories" here like boats, cars and planes.

If you want to be captain swinging dick of boats, in jacksonville area you need around a 50-60' boat. Down south to west palm, about a 75-100' boat. miami 100+.

150k gets you a nice 3bdrm, 2 bath, house in jacksonville
150k gets you a nice 2bdrm 1 bath condo in miami.

this thread is hilarious, Earth Quakes are much better....... no notice and shit falls off the wall.

Hurricanes, one year in my life time(now 25 years) has it been serious problem, and we had 5 DAYS to plan for it. If you died, got hurt, or even broke a nail.... that is natural selection working you.

Beyond that we rarely, if ever, get hurricanes here and what little tropical storms we see are better than any snow storm.

I have friends who are leaving base in Jville now, who are looking for what they have to do to modify their fire arms to be ok to even legally posses in cali. Seriously? they are military men and women and Cali is concerned about them having weapons.....

Cali is beyond underwater with debt and economic crisis. Hell, entire cities are going into bankruptcy.

as for hate crimes and violence in Orlando? Did I miss something? this place is pretty tame compared to most major metro areas.

I like Florida, Christmas was a freezing 76 degrees at our river house and we spent the entire day on the river fishing after opening presents. When my husband and I wanted to buy a house we scored a 4bed/2Bath/2Car garage in a upscale area for 100k that had been entirely refinished. We debated buying a brand new home 3/2/2 for 119k, but we the drive was a bit more from there.

Don't forget The tax code in florida is awesome.

The Florida Fail things come from the idiots who can afford to buy a car here(S13s are still cheap, not cali's driftard tax of 7k) and this allows anyone who wants to drive a 240 and thinks their "drift Racing" an opportunity to show people how dumb they are. We don't have more idiots than anyone else, we just simply have more idiots with enough money to own cars an video cameras to show how "special" they are.

On the upside, it makes procuring parts that much easier and the parts don't rust when someone "nick hogan's" their car. There are plenty of well built cars here, and people like Titan, Enjuku, Gato, ect will continue to show how Florida does things.

Ps the Ricans can be irritating, but damn if they don't love their rotaries.....

I've lived all over the country, moved here a little over a year ago. The humidity argument is pure ignorance, I grew up in NC, then lived in Michigan, the humidity in the summer at either place, is way worse than here. I live on the gulf, really close to the water, it's a nice breeze everyday. It's to the point that I find it strange and unsettling when I go outside and its still. As for the car scene end of the fail, that's happening across the country, apparently Florida is just quick to post their half assed jankiness online as fast as possible. Plus we were hit hard with the YOLO virus of 2011. It's starting to really get under my skin with this "Florida fail" shit when it comes to cars, especially when a good portion of the nicest cars on this site are Florida cars.

WPEC-TV CBS12 News :: News - Top Stories - POLICE: Intoxicated horse rider leads police on 30-minute chase in Florida (http://www.cbs12.com/news/top-stories/stories/vid_2404.shtml)

BUNNELL, Fla. (AP) -- A man was intoxicated while riding his horse as he led police on a half-hour chase through a northeast Florida town, authorities said Tuesday.

Charles Larkin Cowart, 29, was arrested Monday afternoon in the city of Bunnell, about 60 miles south of Jacksonville.

A police officer was responding to a report of "an intoxicated male riding a horse" when he turned on his emergency lights to stop traffic as Cowart crossed the street, according to the charging affidavit. Cowart said he was on his way to his grandmother's house in nearby Flagler Beach, but refused officers' order to dismount and "in an aggressive manner reared the horse back" and took off running.

Officers did not immediately chase after him, the report said, citing the public and the horse's safety. Cowart continued to ride through town, "causing a crowd of people to come out of their homes" and a train to slow down as Cowart crossed over a set of railroad tracks. Police kept their emergency lights on, but did not use their sirens to prevent the horse from being frightened and "potentially making the situation worse."

Cowart ignored several verbal commands to get off the horse, which after more half an hour, became exhausted. Cowart eventually jumped off and took off running. He was captured a short time later. The horse returned to Cowart's family and is doing fine, police said.

Cowart was booked into the Flagler County Jail on charges that included disorderly conduct, resisting arrest without violence and cruelty to animals. He was being held Tuesday on $7,000 bond.

A message was left Tuesday at a phone listing for Cowart in Bunnell, about 60 miles south of Jacksonville. It was not immediately known if he has an attorney.

Cowart was arrested for petit theft on Sept. 9 and on a DUI charge in October 2010. The disposition of those charges wasn't immediately known.

cultures n immigrants? the only real natives live separate from the rest of us without paying taxes and getting rich off their casinos, everyone else in the country is of immigrant decent.


weather? summer all year maybe sometimes 2-3 months of chilly weather, and sometimes theres no hurricane for years, best weather for sure

no ground elevation, so cars make decent power with less mods compare to mountainous regions


e-85 and c16 available locally, along with a bunch of good tuners and shops

no emmissions = HUGE PLUS , attach a huge turbo to ur car put a 40$ worth of 3.5" inch mandrel bend and make a hole on ur fender , best exhaust ever, u can pretty much have a "track car" on the streets here as long as it has clean title u are good

i have only lived in cuba and now in miami and i really dont know how any other state is but every state has to have it ups and downs, as far as the car scene goes i love it here and the regulations just compliments them, theres just no restrictions n bs here

Man dies after live roach-eating contest in Fla.

MIAMI (AP) — A contestant in a roach-eating contest who downed dozens of live bugs and worms collapsed and died shortly after winning the contest in South Florida, authorities say.

About 30 contestants ingested the insects during Friday night's contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles north of Miami. The grand prize was a python.

Edward Archbold, 32, of West Palm Beach became ill shortly after the contest ended and collapsed outside the store, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office statement released Monday. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities were awaiting results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death.

The sheriff's office said none of the other contestants fell ill.

"Unless the roaches were contaminated with some bacteria or other pathogens, I don't think that cockroaches would be unsafe to eat," said Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of California at Riverside. He said he has never heard of someone dying after consuming roaches.

"Some people do have allergies to roaches," he added, "but there are no toxins in roaches or related insects."

There was no updated phone number listed for Archbold in West Palm Beach.

"We feel terribly awful," said store owner Ben Siegel, who added that Archbold did not appear to be sick before the contest.

"He looked like he just wanted to show off and was very nice," Siegel said, adding that Archbold was "the life of the party."

A statement from Siegel's attorney said all the participants signed waivers "accepting responsibility for their participation in this unique and unorthodox contest."

The bugs consumed were from an inventory of insects "that are safely and domestically raised in a controlled environment as food for reptiles."

Some of FL is cool i guess. Never liver there but visited and have friends that live there.

My argument would be:

Hurricane comes along 1 maybe 2 times a year... Fucks up most of the coastal area and sub sea level cities.

"fuck it, we will rebuild"

Repeat this process every year, FOR EVER....

Not logical to me

cons:
Humid, big ass bugs(or maybe small rodents, not sure), old people, state shaped like penis, warm water... but sharks and no waves, ect...

pros:
No smog(as far as smog, who actually would not swap or mad a car becuase of this ? Its a plus but does not really mean shit at the end of the day), women in next to nothing on the beaches is nice, warm water, latin food, ect...

Because if California was its own country, it would be just like Greece. You want to make any more dumbass moronic statements from the most bankrupt state in the union?? Stop living in this dream world that Cali is so fucking awesome it can survive on its own.

Baggy Pants Ban in Florida Sparks Controversy | Fashion - Yahoo! Shine (http://shine.yahoo.com/fashion/baggy-pants-ban-florida-sparks-controversy-161500571.html)

No more baggy pants, apply skinny jeans!

Maybe the fashion police should crack down on saggy trousers, but real law enforcement? A new ordinance by passed in a three-to-one vote by the city council of Cocoa, Florida prevents a "person in public view from wearing pants or skirts below the waistline that expose the undergarments or the skin…." The law will go into effect on January 1, 2013.

Although members of the city council say they passed the ban in order to increase civility in their "family oriented" town of 17,000, critics claim it's a mask for additional "stop and frisk" type activities by the police. "This is nothing more than a vehicle for further harassment of young people," Alberta Wilson, president of the Central Brevard Branch of the NAACP told FloridayToday.com. "I don't like the saggy pants anymore than you do, however, I respect people's Constitutional rights." Police Chief Mark Klayman acknowledged that the ordinance would provide greater opportunity to confront individuals on the street. "This would give the police officers the probable-cause stop," Klayman said. "This could also be a measure to allow us to get drugs and guns off the street just based on this stop."

Wilson expressed her concern that the new law might lead to violent confrontations between violator and the police. "I'm worried about enforcement, I fear a police officer getting some resistance and resorting to some means and doing bodily harm to a child," she said.
The town tried to pass a similar ordinance in 2010, but backed down when constitutional court challenges were mounted against other municipalities, although some bans have been successfully passed. The first day a 2011 saggy trousers law went into effect in Fort Worth, Texas, 50 people were kicked off of the public bus system.

The saggy pants ban will be a three strike policy: violators will pay a fine of $25 for the first offense, $50 for the second, and $100 for every additional offense thereafter. It will be up to the police officer to determine the fine.
Tyler Furbish, the lone dissenter on the city council, pointed out that in an era of budget cuts, the new law would burden a police department that was already stretched thin. "I think it is going to put a strain on our law enforcement people who have better things to enforce," Furbish argued to the council. "I think we have a risk of too much regulation. What do we do next, outlaw blue houses?"

This is not the first time that a Florida man has assaulted a woman with a cheeseburger. In 2008, a man was charged with domestic violence for shoving his cheeseburger into his girlfriend’s face. In 2011, another Florida man was charged with a misdemeanor for throwing a cheeseburger at a car in a McDonald’s drive thru. Police found a “large spot of ketchup measuring 6 inches by 6 inches on the side of the victim’s vehicle and cheeseburger pieces on the hood” that could be traced back to the culprit.

3.Is the statement able to be backed up?
If you said yes to all of these your ok otherwise your just flapping your gums.
Florida: Hot, sauna like humidity, nice women and beach.
Are there stupid people in Florida, yes but so does everywhere else.lack of vehicle emissions is nice.
Cali: By far the best place to live in my opinion(coming from a person that has visited and or lived in a majority of the states from Cali to Georgia as well as visiting many Mediterranean countries as well as many northeastern states) yea we have strict emissions and high cost of living but like that saying goes "you got to pay to play" and as far as earthquakes we rarely get them and the only way I find out we had one is waking up and watching the morning news.

The real reason Californian's hate on FL, and why FL will always be better if you're an auto enthusiast. I'll take all the stupid people in the world if it means not getting harassed by the police over mods and face having your car impounded for no reason. I'll bet all of you kids living in Cali grew up there and don't know any better, because no enthusiast would willingly choose such a critical environment.

For the most part you're right. But here in FL we do (sometimes) get harassed by cop for mods. But really the only one we'll get shit from the cops for having is aftermarket exhaust. But really thats anywhere and it usually only happens during the quota weeks.

I went to Lowes to get exhaust hardware with open headers, I was fine. After I had a big loud slightly more abnoxious than anticipated exhaust that I haven't been pulled over for. I've only ever been pulled over for speeding, cops have never said anything about mods. I know not all of FL is this lenient, however this has been my experience up in the panhandle and now on the midwest coast.

Usually there is a light breeze and you could roll both windows down and just roll at like 5-10mph and the traffic just gradually dissipates, usually people slowing down to watch people getting tickets.

I spent several years living in North Dakota, where for 4-5 months out of the year it never gets above -20 degrees. I spent time in the Middle East off the Persian Gulf where it's more humid than Louisiana in the summer, and the temp never gets below 100 degrees.

Cool story? Your theory is it is better, so thank god you aren't in Florida (sound reasoning). Is it all corruption, hand outs, or massive amount of illegals you like the most?

I mean, just about any other thing you like about cali you can find in another state, but that's great if you think it isn't possible.

This, is pretty accurate. Christmas day we went out on the boat and cruised the st. Johns. I spend 2 years in an S13 w/o a AC and other than a funky tan line from my drivers side window being open, it wasn't horrible. Then again I'm a girl what do I know...

I do know my cars are mine and my choice what I do with them. Same for my guns which a few of them came with stickers saying "illegal to sell in Cali" and most of all I enjoy the lack of tax burden. Sure we don't have a robust and great economy in the welfare sector that Cali does, but is that anything to be really proud of? I don't think Florida is great and believe me there are things we need work on, but to think Cali is some sort of great place is funny as hell. Almost as funny as when one of their members of congress tries to infringe on another one of my rights. Cali is so great..... we aren't even able to have production Diesel vehicles anymore w/o exhaust fluid because there is a theory it might help build one more ice cube, but hey it is an theory and that is what matters. Facts and proven reduction in fuel consumption with diesel instead of gas is pure hog wash... Soviet Euro does it, but even that is not socialist enough for cali I guess?

dude, we have mass freeway expansion projects going on all over the fucking place in LA and OC. I live a half mile from the 5 freeway and it takes me, on average, 20-30 minutes to get to the on-ramp because of street closure and overall piss poor project planning.
Not to mention the 405 project's completion is X-years past due and $xxx-million over budget. any nice houses for sale out by you?

Yea LA traffic got to be the worst but it has a extremely dense population density.
I'd say Atlanta is right up there. Our state laws are actually designed to PREVENT a viable mass transit system. In fact the DOT is required to spend like 90% of its budget on road construction and repair. All of the highways around the city are completely jammed going in all directions during rush hour. A few of them are 9-10 lane highways that are reduced to parking lots for about 6 hrs a day if not more. Combine that with a road network that was based off a 3 year old's crayon drawing of spaghetti and you end up in traffic hell.

I've never been to Cali so I cannot judge the girls there...
But if you want to see some amazing snow..come to FL
I've lived about half my life in Florida (Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando) and traveled all around the state and while there are some great looking girls down there FL can't come close to Newport Beach. I lived out there for a little while a couple years ago and it was awesome. I forgot what a fat chick looked like, which made my return to the south east pretty depressing since 60% of the girls here seem to survive on fried foods.

I think Florida's main issues are, heat/humidity, shitty/expensive weed, and I'm pretty sure the whole state is sponsored by Bud Light. I've also noticed that southern Florida seems to fail a hell of a lot harder than other parts of the state. Maybe its all of the people from New York and New Jersey that can't handle the heat and thus resort to trashy behavior.

We had an abnormally rough winter so new house construction is slow this year meaning everything currently on the market is going quick to the most aggressive buyers. When you consider our projected population growth & the fact Toyota NA is about to move their headquarters out here from Cali, its about to create a real housing shortage. Prices already starting to climb, but still cheap in comparison to Cali.

I275 in the downtown tampa area / i4 junction have been under construction as long as I can remember, and probably will be forever. Sometimes takes me an hour to make it 10 miles home in rush hour

Yea thats a shitty spot. Things get pretty out of hand up around USF as well in the afternoons. Tampa has bad traffic but its not on the same scale that you see in LA/Atlanta. Imagine the same kind of situation with 9+ lanes on either side of the highway.

I will say that Tampa has some of the worst police officers I've ever come across. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department is way over staffed and damn near incompetent. I racked up 12 tickets in less than a year, none of which were moving violations. I even had an officer tell me that my insurance information was fake because my car (which I had purchased a week or so before) wasn't registered. He actually told me that you CANNOT insure a car without it being registered, which is obviously completely false.

I'm willing to bet 9 out of 10 people bragging about Cali are under 30 years old, don't own a house, and definitely haven't tried to start their own business in that state. And if you have done all of these things, talk to me in 5 years when your entire state follows suit with the City of Detroit and files for bankruptcy on all levels of the government. Oh and btw, your property values are skyrocketing again at an artificial rate, so expect another pop around the same time that will cripple most of the west coast.

Merced California

A 22-year-old man wearing a Spiderman outfit was arrested this week by Merced police after he allegedly tried a steal a purse from a woman.

Daniel James Bradley was taken into custody not long after the incident, reported around 12:30 p.m. Nov. 10 near V and 15th streets, according to Lt. Bimley West.

The victim, a 24-year-old woman, reported she’d parked her car and had exited, when the suspect began staring at her, and walked toward her, West said.

The suspect, who was wearing a brown and green jacket over his Spiderman outfit, allegedly walked over and said "give me your purse," West said.

The woman looked at the man and saw that he appeared to be holding something under his right sleeve, which appeared to be a gun. The woman ran, screaming for someone to call police. The suspect panicked and ran from the scene, police said.

The suspect placed his jacket and a metal pipe he'd been holding behind a bush. An officer arrived at the scene and spotted the suspect jogging down the street. The suspect ran after seeing the officer, but was captured after a short foot pursuit, West said.

West said a witness saw the attempted robbery happen, and identified Bradley as the suspect. The victim also identified Bradley. When police questioned Bradley about why he was wearing the Spiderman outfit, he replied it was part of his "disguise."

Bradley was booked into the Merced County Jail on suspicion of attempted robbery. He’s being held in lieu of $65,000 bail.

i think the worst part of Florida is that 45% of the people who live there now are from the fucking north east!!!

I-95 used to be so much driving and riding on until everyone decided to move there, yet these are the very same people who talk about Florida being a retirement place.

besides a lil bit of humidity Florida rocks! best weather aside from maybe arizona... best looking chicks, entertainment, schools! anyways thats my .2!

Don't worry, because here in Florida you can provoke someone to hit you, then if they hit you , you can kill them in cold blood with a gun, in the name o "self-defense".
But if you're a woman and fire a warning shot at your abusive husband, you can be facing time in jail for attempted murder.

Proof?
Because that is not how self defense laws work in Florida or any other state.

Warning, or just shitty aim?

Also past aggression doesn't count for self defense. Immediate danger is required.


How about....duct tape and kill your child, party while the kid rots in your trunk, then lie about the nanny kidnapping her for months and when finally caught say your parents molested you...

And as far as what I was talking about, I hate to be "that guy", but depending on what side you take, you can still admit that Zimmerman provoked that whole encounter. And the fact that the woman is going to jail while Zimmerman is being let free with the same gun that got himself into deep shit in the first place...:picardfp:

Sorry but I have to disagree. At no point was anything ever shown to say Zimmerman "provoked" Martin. Martin failed to use proper judgment and just leave the situation by going home.


"Provoking" would have been Zimmy following Marty around shouting insults and slurs, poking and shoving him etc.

So not "to be that guy" but regardless of what side you are on you have to admit there the prosecutors case was based on speculation and a terrible testimony of Martins "girlfriend" while the defense built theirs on interpretation of physical evidence.

Zimster would likely have beaten this in any state. If Martin was Latino, Asian or White or Zimmerman been black, it would be unlikely that it would have ever hit the news circuit.

california is deff not for everyone. the traffic sucks and yaa the cost of living is outragious once you hit LA (paying 1300$ for a 1bdr apartment)
but you get used to it, you leave a little early and learn to balance your money a little wiser. the people here are some of the most rude and the most polite, that all depends on how there day is going. we"ll cuss you out in traffic and honk for no reason, but thats half the fun of driving

Florida just sucks all around. Not ALL the car people suck/have poor fast, there are plenty of nice cars here, cool people etc. But Florida itself sucks. No fun roads, either unbearably hot, or raining. Everything is spread out, so no good meets. I'm out of here the first chance i get. Who cares if we don't have a winter when during the summer you can't go outside without sweat dripping down your face. I've also notice that people take less time during builds because unlike some states, we don't have a "off season" if your car is down, you're missing events, I think that's a big part of the reason the cars here are of such shitty caliber. Same with events, we can have events all year long so there no build up, it's just another event.

There is practically no such thing. S. FL is composed of immigrants from Latin America and Europe. The rest are retirees from New England states. Ask most anyone in Florida with a "southern" accent and you can trace their origin to the surrounding states (Texas, Alabama, Louisiana and Georgia).
