Weird Florida: The Sunshine State Is Also 2012's Most Bizarre

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- In 2012, Florida was a state where a lifeguard got fired for saving a life, a woman got arrested for riding a manatee and a man repeatedly used 911 as a phone sex service.

Think that's weird? It gets worse.

In one of the state's most horrifying stories of the year, a man attacked a homeless man in Miami, chewing off most of his face before police fatally shot him. And it wasn't the only story of its kind. In Manatee County, deputies used multiple Tasers to subdue a naked man who bit off part of another man's arm.

I think it's not all of Florida that's weird... just south Florida.

Unfortunately, my state would win the News award this year.

I know Sandy Hook very well, my wife lived there as a young girl and went to Newtown High School. It's most famous student was Bruce Jenner.

Oh, I wasn't offended at all. I understand that many of these others stories are quite funny in retrospect. I know that no one would make fun of Newtown.

No apology needed. :thumbsup:
