A Florida man got in a shootout with a SWAT robot while wearing nothing but his birthday suit. The suspect’s dog was the only onlooker as the robot approached the door at the West Melbourne home. Authorities said a man with several guns was suicidal and threatening authorities.
“He said he’d shoot anyone he could,” said Lt. Bruce Barnett with the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office. Instead of risking any lives, deputies sent the $65,000 robot into the home. The robot has cameras, which record all of its actions.
As the robot slowly pushed the man’s bedroom door open, the man came out, stark naked, with an AK-47 in hand. The man then started shooting at the robot. The camera goes out at first, and then comes back on.
The robot came away with bullet holes, frayed wires and broken cables, but no one was hurt.
Let's recap. Naked man, AK-47, suicidal, homicidal...where else could this have happened. Florida. Of course. I bet this shit isn't even shocking to police anymore. This is like an average Tuesday for Florida police. I watched the documentary on Aileen Wuornos this weekend and I couldn't help but notice how crazy people/pedophiles/serial killers, no matter where they were born, always end of calling The Sunshine State their home. If you wake up one day and decide that you wanna be murdered by a prositute hitchiker, Florida is your place. If you decide that you want your neighborhood to show up on Watchdog.com like a Jackson Pollack painting, Florida is your place.
