When Congress felt threatened after the Capitol breach, they brought in thousands of National Guard troops, built a fortress around the Capitol and kept themselves safe. In the meantime, average citizens around the country are left to fend for themselves while violent mobs torch and terrorize their cities. And it's still going on. A 9 year old girl in Minneapolis was just shot in the head while she was outside jumping on a trampoline.
We are lucky to live in a state that recognizes the limits of government and values the rights of their citizens to make good decisions for themselves. Law and order is valued here and lawless behavior is not tolerated. We are very lucky.

Florida is sort of a laughing stock around the US. Late-night TV talks about the "STUPID Florida man". Florida earned that reputation over years of being strange.
