Flamethrower Showdown: Florida Man Arrested in Fiery Standoff
There’s something hot about the Florida man, right ladies? Especially when he’s ready for a flamethrower showdown. That’s exactly what went down in Port St. Lucie. According to WPBF, the police were called out to some explosions and smoke coming from some dude’s yard. Now, already that doesn’t seem like a good situation. Well, this is where things get a little crazier courtesy of our flame wielding Florida man.
Out comes Joseph Moreton, a 39-year-old who’s probably loves the Mad Max movies.a few too many times, because there he was, standing in his front yard with a handheld flamethrower! Yeah, nothing gets a BBQ going better than flames shooting out from a weapon of destruction. Right? The cops, naturally, tell him to put it down, because, well, nobody wants a face full of fire. But Moreton’s not listening. He starts walking toward them, ready for a flamethrower showdown and roast someone like dinner.
One of the cops, being pretty quick on his feet, manages to grab the flamethrower from this dude before anything catches fire. But Moreton? He doesn’t just give up. Oh no… Not the Florida man! He runs back into his house.
Flamethrower Showdown Takedown:
Now, the cops have the house surrounded, right? They’re telling him to come out. Instead of coming out and giving himself up like a normal person would do, Moreton tries to blind one of the cops with a flashlight.
The officers, at this point, have had enough. So, they break out the Tasers and zap him into submission. I do not care how tough you are… A couple zaps from a taser is all it takes to make a grown man cry like a baby. Well, in the end police take him into custody without anyone getting hurt. And they have a really cool Flamethrower now! Moreton is now cooling off in jail on a $5,500 bond.
So, the next time you think about having a yourself a little flamethrower showdown of your own… Maybe just don’t.
The 20 Best BBQ Restaurants In Southwest Florida – Ranked
It was back in 2022 when I made this list, and then followed it up in 2023. Now, let’s make the needed edits to show the best BBQ restaurants In Southwest Florida for 2024. Because great bbq is worth the drive, we’ll expand outside of Naples, Fort Myers, and Cape Coral, and include some spots in the Sarasota and Bradenton areas. Brand new to the list is a spot on Anna Maria Island.
Fans of great bbq are fiercely loyal to their favorites. That’s why I took the conjecture out of it. By using an algorithm based on rankings from Trip Advisor, We are able to rank the top bbq restaurants in Southwest Florida. Yes, there’s some chains in here with more than one location, but if it’s amazing, maybe that’s why they have more than one location. Makes sense?
For as much as some people want to bash on Rib City, they’re always busy. And why does one Michelbob’s rank higher than the other? I’m guessing it’s location.
The Best BBQ Restaurants.
Personally, some of the best bbq I’ve ever had came from my neighbor Keith. But not everyone has the skill or the all day long needed to make amazing bbq. What that man can do with a bag of chicken thighs is otherworldly.
The best bbq restaurants on this list vary from chain restaurants to family run giant smoker in the parking lot mom and pops. Not gonna lie. Those are my favorites. You can smell them as you roll up into the parking lot. There’s a few of those on the list.
And don’t @ me if you don’t like the selections, I used Trip Advisor’s math to create this list. I’ll make the address linkable so you can read more about the place, and get directions and all that. Hurricane Ian really rattled the past couple of lists, but I think most of places are back up to full speed. You can @ me if there’s any places that are closed. And just to end the suspense, the McDonald’s McRib did not make the list. Why do people always get so excited about that thing?
