You will find people just like the one in this video in every major city. Baltimore is a rough city on a par with Detroit and cannibalism has even occurred within the poor and destitute areas. Should we assume cannibalism is an everyday occurrence among all of Baltimore's residents? Of course not, that's ridiculous. Just like the video in the OP's post is just a one-off case of a single nutcase living in Tampa.

Why they ever left those paradises is mind boggling to me.

Ha ha ha, How right you are..

There seem to be a quite a few negative-nancy troll types who have nothing better to do than spread gloom, despair, hate, or just plain attack people's posts at random out of some cheap thrill..

I wake up everyday so happy to be living in Florida - which is Paradise to me. I have lived in many different states so I know great when I see it.

Like most things people choose to be unhappy. This past Saturday my wife and I took a quick drive to Pass-A-Grill Beach to spend a couple hours enjoying the beautiful sand and water. Had some "whole belly clams" on the way back at a small mom and pop. I only gave them an 7.5.. still looking for a 10! Took a nice long walk with my dog at the Brandon Parkway Trail. Picked up a 6-pack of the local craft brew "Tampa Jai Alai IPA" and fired up the grill to make fish tacos. Had a delightful breeze outside so I turned on the TV and got everything ready before the puck dropped for the Lightning playoff game 2. Food was great, Beer was great, and the Lightning played a great game as well and WON!. I took a celebratory dunk in the Jacuzzi and finished my jai alai beer as the sun set over my deck railing. As an added bonus I watched five different florida birds eat their dinner at the feeder.
May not be everyone's idea of paradise, But I sure found it to be a delightful day. GO Bolts!

I've always thought of Florida as that way too. It's like those funnels you put a penny in and watch it spin around before it gets to the bottom. Florida is like the bottom of that funnel, except instead of a penny spinning around it's southern trash.

I see these kind of people in other states, not just Florida.

Well towards the end of my time in St. Petersburg, I sure was seeing alot of Tennessee licence plates there. Usually with a skinny little arm dangling a cigarette out the window.

Yes - the only thing that changes is the screen name.

Florida is so so weird. But I'd rather live here than anywhere else!
