“What the Florida”
My favorite line from “The People vs. Larry Flynt”:
"If the First Amendment will protect a scumbag like me, it will protect all of you."
Wow. Vice is reporting on events that really happened now?
No Truck Nuts?
Why do cops hate ass?
I appreciate that he has a lot of self-awareness about this dumb event that swept him up. “I am the original Florida Man.”
Also:
“‘What if my daughter sees that…’ Your daughter’s probably gonna get her ass eaten in like ten years.”
Knowing Florida, It could have turned into a legal quagmire like what the creator of “Boiled Angel” went through in the 1990’s. The guy still hasn’t received any justice for what was done to him back then.
Lake City. yep.
Cop says the sticker is ‘derogatory.’ Towards whom? Florida man proudly proclaims he eats ass. Is he impugning himself?
Stay clASSy, Columbia County.
Idk, a truck by me has a giant “white bitch” sticker on its front windshield. I eat ass is a statement. The lady who had the pee before you leave thingie is a statement. White bitch is not a statement.
Hey, a fellow RoosterTeeth fan!
Why not go “my favorite dish is a stew of donkey or ass meat that cooks for a very long time”
What’s the problem officer? Oh, you are more of a goat or lamb fan? Also delicious.
OK, have a nice day!

He will never receive justice from Florida, but at least there is the Karmic justice of his work now being lauded as “worthy” of a gallery showing. No justice, but at least some form of vindication and validation; sadly,the best he will likely ever receive.
One thing he should have mentioned in this video is how much money this cost him. It was probably at least $1000 and he probably had to take off work to go to court multiple times, so I hope the lawsuit works out. The court system is a shameless grift.
Maybe it was phonetic spelling of “I eat ice” ?

The hero Florida needed, but not the hero Florida deserves.
The cop’s legacy is now the Streisanding of the “I EAT ASS” movement.
I don’t support his arrest on these grounds, obviously.
That said, I do think that if an investigation found that he DOESN’T eat ass, he should be cited for false advertising.
