having visited florida on a CAD navy ship i only have fond memories of great weather & pleasant ppl during a horrible nova scotia winter.
apparently he invited 4 young guys he met at a bar to his home. i suppose bad judgment & bad luck led to his demise.

I think that alcohol is more to blame, than Florida, or Floridians. You can be beaten, or shot to death faster in Detroit, Chicago, or Cleveland. There are now about eighteen-million people living in Florida. Only twenty-five percent of whom were actually born here. Nearly one million Floridians come from New York City. At least eight million come from the Caribbean. Most of the rest are Yankee expats, Euro expats, or Asian expats. Twenty-five percent of Floridians are elderly retirees, such as myself, down here for the warm weather. So, you get a pretty good cross-section of the overall US population in this state. An old saying goes: "All the loose screws roll into Florida". But just remember, they are YOUR loose screws!

OMG! What's wrong with people these days?

Needless suffering
As a human My heart grows weary and as a father my mind goes to worry
It’s hard to understand this when I spend my days trying to heal.

And here I've been seeing the beautiful beach advertisements , on the internet - no one was saying anything about the bars , drunks , and violence in those advertisements .

I wonder if there was a reason or if this guy was having some kind of psychotic episode.

Floriduh.....full of redneck uneducated pieces of shit masquerading as human beings. I hope this sorry fucker gets exactly the same treatment he gave this Canadian man when he goes to prison.

That is horrible!

Florida... Let a giant sinkhole take it! Ehhh... It will be underwater in another few years anyway.

Unfortunately there are violent people that live among-est us. They live for the chance to fight and cause immense physical harm to others. They consider it bragging rights that they can beat another human to death.
This type of behavior is not limited to FL any one state.

Is the South... the Wall is Needed North of the South!!!!!

Terrible.

Redneck Riviera brings out the rednecks.
