It’s okay. We’ve got time. Go ahead and read the headline one more time. Take it all in. And remember, this stuff is why we let Florida stay a part of the country. Because on a regular basis, the Sunshine State delivers news oddities so damn odd you’ve just got to smile. And, of course, be glad these things don’t happen elsewhere. So here we go. A naked man, described by WESH-TV anchors as “armed, naked, and dangerous,” opens fire on a police SWAT team robot. (Because, you know, even the most badass police–the ones with the amazing weapons and the best training–know enough not to try and talk to a naked guy with an AK)

They send the robot to the door and the naked guy starts shooting. Best part? The robot’s got a camera and catches it all on tape. I know what you’re thinking. The only way this could get any better is the appearance of a cute little dog. Okay, for you? Done.

Watch it here, from WESH-TV:

He was justified.

When they grab you with those metal claws, you can’t break free. Because they’re made of metal. And robots are strong

He was only charged with criminal mischief??
So he will get probation and the sue the police department for pain & suffering and messing up his house??

Nudity. Guns. Robots.

Throw in a small woodland creature of some type and something to do with Angelina Jolie and you’ve just about got it all covered.

Only in Florida is right where we have more nuts per square foot than any other state in the union.

Are you serious? Have you been to California? That place is dominated by crazies, wackos and hippies. Just to throw the stupid “sensitivity” BS back at Mediaite, isn’t such a claim bigoted?

“…on a regular basis, the Sunshine State delivers news oddities so damn odd you’ve just got to smile.” That’s for sure! Who can forget “Army officer’s wife kills her 2 ‘mouthy’ teens“?
