8. America has a "Florida Man" problem.

That's not necessarily a snarl against people from Florida. "Florida Man" is more a euphemism for dumbasses who exercise snap judgement, "good idea at the time" aggressive behavior that usually results in serious injury or, like here, death. The "Florida Man" exists in bunches in Ohio, PA, Maryland, West Virginia, you name it.

These people still wish it was the mid-to-late 80s, where they were able to usually get away with bullying abusive actions. That was a time where cameras weren't everywhere. I think that's the kind of era Trump's voters "want to bring back".
