If there’s anything more quintessentially Florida than this story, I’ll eat my Mickey Mouse Ears hat.
A woman in Polk County, Florida, which is located just southwest of Orlando, to put this into perspective, was arrested in May for FIRING A MISSILE INTO AN OCCUPIED VEHICLE. Firing a missile into a vehicle. Florida even has a law for that, Statute 790.19:
“Shooting into or throwing deadly missiles into dwellings, public or private buildings, occupied or not occupied; vessels, aircraft, buses, railroad cars, streetcars, or other vehicles.”
That’s not even the best part of the story, or even the most Floridian part.
This is: The woman’s name is Crystal Metheney. Crystal…Metheney.
I can’t make this shit up. A woman named CRYSTAL METHENEY, whose name sounds like the kind of girl that Jesse Pinkman would be dating, shot a MISSILE into an occupied car. A Missile. Like fucking Mario Kart.
I’m done, really. No more Florida. I’ll just go to Disneyland instead.
Honestly, is it too late to give Florida back to Spain?
GTA VI
The mario cart reference has me crying. Brilliant.
A missile just means a bullet.
1. Prove it: I’m certain that would have its own statute
2. Dont fucking ruin this for everyone

1. I was mistaken, a missile in Florida just means a stone.
2. I apologize for ruining anything.
