Making room

Congratulations to the Florida legislature for finally doing something about overpopulation in Florida. By adding new protections for shooters in the Stand-Your-Ground law, they have ensured that every heated argument in the state will have the potential to result in a shooting death.

This will make room for more tourists, if any are still inclined to come.

Tim O’Brien,

Miami Beach
