THIS is definitely one of those times. This man was arrested this time for pooping on a dead opossum on a street during rush hour traffic. The police report obtained described the scene of the crime

      I guess the only reason the headline doesn’t specify is that it is a Florida local news site

    Why is this site pretending this is a new story? It happened in 2023 .

      For whatever reason the source article doesn’t convey this. Although having just typed my thoughts, I realize you by “this site” you probably mean the source here. Maybe someone local knows more about that “news” source?

          I think you were clear enough, I am just used to folks not reading and the reference you made meaning “here” but in this case I was not reading 🫣

    The crime? Exposing his anus in public. They didn’t even charge him for littering? Is public defecation not a crime there?

      Assuming this is Florida, it’s not like he read a book or something, he merely pooped on a dead animal. They had to charge with something.

      Not possums. We all did squirrels in college. Sure, a few raccoons…

    Are they sure the opossum was dead? I’ve literally seen one play dead for over a week on the side of the road before…

    With that said, I have never felt the urge to defecate on roadkill…

          If the possum turns out to be live, it may become a gateway bidet.

      This is the most efficient way of testing whether or not it’s a ruse. Everyone in Florida knows this.
