I can see the arrest for location of the cart or no license but this sounds like a "Rudy" offense.

Really?

Florida's biggest problem is a hot dog vendor?

That state is truly fucked up.

have shot him it would be covered by the Stand Your Ground Law. Remember Travon Martin and the retired cop that got off because a guy threw popcorn at him.

Maybe there's more to this story then we all know. I read the attached link, and I didn't see anything else in the article, but perhaps the officer is trying to make a point, which I agree w/, don't assault our officers.

This is probably just a cop who is not familiar with their culture misinterpreting an everyday gesture.

gets his ass thrown in the can,

spins a lie any size,

attracts the cops just like flies,

Look out! Here comes the Florida Man!


Is he dumb? Listen bud,

All his thoughts are clear as mud.

Common sense, he ignores,

Another bust is his reward.

Hey there, here comes the Florida Man!

In the dead of night, at the scene of a crime,

You can bet your ass he'll get caught every time!

Florida Man, Florida Man,

Freaky neighborhood Florida Man

Has no friends, he's ignored,

Another bust is his reward.

To him, life is a great big fuck up

Wherever there's a lock up,

You'll find the Florida Man!
