'I CONDEMN YOU' Half-naked burglary suspect hits Florida sheriff with a Bible before POOPING himself

Happy Monday, everyone.

Suspect "threw the book at" .... law enforcement?
https://www.the-sun.com/news/1548815/florida-suspect-in-underwear-throws-bible-at-sheriff/


Robert Otis Hoskins, 39, of Ocala, Florida, was arrested last week after police were called to his home following reports Hoskins had broken into his neighbor's home to steal clothes.
Robert Otis Hoskins threw a bible at a sheriff's deputy

Marion County Sheriff's deputies found the half-naked suspected burglar outside his home last week. When confronted, Hoskins allegedly screamed "I condemn you" at a sheriff's deputy and threw a Bible at him.The Bible landed squarely in the deputy's face and jaw, the arrest affidavit reads.

Authorities say Hoskins then defecated on himself while he was detained, and allegedly told them God told him to break into his neighbor's home. Hoskins said he was trying to free his neighbor's underage daughter, as directed by God.The arrest report also includes Hoskins' wife saying he "does have a drug problem."


Not the actor Bob "Mario" Hoskins (RIP)

If Washington State were ever to become synonymous with these clowns, I'd move somewhere else...

Reporters scour these free, available public records to come up with so many instances of people acting cray in that state. It's cheap copy, and it's fun.

Almost every other state has more restrictions about the records of arrests that happen within them than FL. Also, FL is one of the larger/more populous states in general.

In reality, it may not be all that much crazier than other states on a per-capita basis. We just don't hear about their crazy nearly as much.

It's a wonder arrest records aren't withheld more.

But then the sheriffs wouldn't have such bragging rights.

I don't have research on craziness per quota, nor is that something I'm going to pursue! I'm just trying to stay on an even keel personally.

that views the Bible as both a weapon and a membership badge in said cult of hate, resentment and contempt for all others.

Something in the air here makes certain people want to take off their clothes, wrap their bible in the flag and let out their inner invasive species.
