Well apropos the grand-parent comment using "Florida Man" We hear about "Florida Man" more often because, yeah, maybe there is a lot more partying in Florida, but also because Florida has some of the most open public record laws. I've read that unlike other places where you have to bother the police for reports, in Florida you can get yourself added to a daily email blast of reports.

Not in the US, unfortunately. Some news media have a policy not to publish that information.

They've updated the article in the last 5 minutes. The original article I read said something like "we're not releasing his name because he's under 18 years old" and now his name is fully out there. Crazy.

the verge is reporting that he's being tried as an adult, so maybe that's the reasoning.
