Looks like a couple low-lifes did some low-life (bleep) after a bender. Are you implying that this stuff only happens in Florida? Im not quite getting you.

Well i guess thats that.
So because a few crazies did some stuff in Florida, now its "earned its reputation as crazy/stupid with its notably disproportionate rate of such instances." Isnt that a hasty generalization? Have you done the research to substantiate this claim? Or are you basing it off of blurry recollection of media reports over the last couple years? TM? This crazy couple? So youve analyzed similar events in places like Chicago? Baltimore? Cleveland? Oakland?
All im trying to point out here is that no state or region has a monopoly on crazy, and for a forum where most members are quick to jump on anyone who throws labels around....i find this interesting.
As an example, if i post a story on how many people are shot in Chicago every weekend on Monday morning the following week, how long do you think it would take for the usual suspects to come out and call me a racist, and tell me that shootings and violence arent endemic to Chicago? Lets keep an even keel. Or maybe you just need more exposure to events from other states? Its funny how we rationalize to ourselves the very behaviour we chastise others for all the time.
We seem to love posting about the terrible things cops do all the time. Are all cops bad too?

Im assuming that question was rhetorical, so ive got one of my own. The man in Indiana that was just caught killing and dumping women in abandoned homes, he was from Texas. So which states fault is he? Texas or Indiana?

You must be new to the internet...its pretty much a consensus on the internet that Florida is where crazy stuff goes down. You can pretty much google it to your hearts content. But I guess you must enjoy being the resident contrarian around here.

Crazy? Prolly not. Stupid? Mos def! At least twice known state wide incidents of known stupidity that occurred in 2000 and 2004

Finding these took about 30 seconds. As i said, the State has nothing to do with it. Could it be the weather? Florida is warm. Go look up what happens when the Santa Annas are blowing in southern cali. Maybe its urban legend, but i seem to remember growing up there that the news said violent crime rates go up when that warm wind starts blowing.
Oh that reminds me, speaking of Santa Anna! Anyone remember this li'l diddy?

For some reason, weird news from Florida makes headlines.
But if you think that California is somehow immune from weirdo wackos then you're living in fantasy land. We've got more than our fair share here.
Florida has more then our fair share + their fair share. Thats why they are always in the news for something wacky. Its the south, they have an alwful public school system(not that many are great but their's is worse then bad..lol, mixed in with some of the poorest folks in the US in certain areas in florida.
