You know? Some region of their place that just seems to, for whatever reason, be bat-**** insane? Not the 'women's right are destroying our culture' kind of insane but the 'Set's own bed on fire to get nurses attention' kind of insane.

for whatever reason

Florida isn't weirder than any other state. Florida just has laws that mean every legal case has to be a matter of public record, which means all the weird stories can get picked up by any website that wants to exploit them for clickbait ad revenue.

Your neighbor may be getting high on bath salts and having sex with goats, but you'll never hear about it because news sources in your state aren't allowed to freely access all police and court records to trawl for ridiculous stories.

So the answer to your question is yes, "Florida Man" exists in lots of countries (and other states). They're just all better at hiding those stories.

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.
