Florida man Cody Wygant allegedly suffocated 16-month-old son so he could play video games - CBS News

Why does the stupidest news in the country seem to ALWAYS come out of Florida? Lol.

Anyway, I didn't think this was a laughing matter. But this guy was being annoyed by his baby 16-month old son while he was playing Call of Duty on Xbox. So he went and suffocated his son with bedding materials until he couldn't move anymore, then went back to the couch and played Xbox for 5 more hours.

What are your thoughts on this, Floridians?

I believe he was under the influence of drugs/alcohol. Sad situation - of course, Florida haters might say that this only happens in Florida. But they'd be incorrect, wouldn't they?

'Unemotional' mom admits strangling, suffocating her 6 babies - World - Times Colonist


And wasn't that Newtown shooting in your state? Seems like "stupid" stuff happens everywhere. Maybe the news networks have an agenda against FLA, the 3rd most populated state.

I think it is because of the popularity of Florida. Everything here is big news. I think New York City is much worse. Crazy crimes happen everywhere. Let's see what has been going on in the rest of the nation in the past couple of days...

Ex-cop fatally shoots wife in front of her kids:

Perv kisses, gropes 12-year-old girl in Brooklyn - NY Daily News

Moped driver fatally shot in head


Vengeful note left for parents by Conn. woman who killed two grandsons* - NY Daily News

Or maybe this one from California.....

‘I have the last laugh’: Man allegedly strangles college-bound girlfriend before sending her dad chilling textÂ* - NY Daily News

Here's one out of MA

Body tossed along Mass. highway is missing boy, 5: report - NY Daily News

CT - the home of the Newton Massacre.........

Vengeful note left for parents by Conn. woman who killed two grandsons* - NY Daily News

Seattle -

Seattle sheriff's deputy helped wife turn tricks to earn extra cash: reports - NY Daily News

How about this one out of Chicago....

Chicago man bites off ear of man who impregnated underage sister twice: police - NY Daily News


None of these incidents become national news.

The area has a large number of transplants from the rest of the country - many are rejects who can't make it and escape to what they think is paradise - ---but their innate traits of being losers in life continue as evidenced by this X-box guy and also recently the Michigan guy who took out several innocent victims when he wanted to drive down I75 in the wrong direction.

It just shows how screwed up the populace of our country really is.

You have to give the bloodthirsty what they want so "Child found dead chained to bed after parents set house on fire" in MI doesn't have the same ring to it, Barely made State news when I was up there, you have to put something about the decay of Detroit for anyone to pay attention.
