Even when Floridians aren’t trying to be weird as shit, the weird shit just seems to find them. The entire state is just a hotbed for gonzo news stories. For instance, this video taken from the backyard of someone’s condo in Bonita Springs (which is a lovely part of the state, to be honest) shows a bull shark swimming in the water right outside of the building. Yeah, NO.
According to NBC 2:
An 8 to 9 foot bull shark has been swimming very close to the condos that line Hickory Boulevard.
Residents say it’s not the first time. Neighbors say people are chumming — throwing bait into the water — which is causing the sharks to return. Now, they are asking the city to get involved and prohibit fishing as well as designate the area as a swimming only area.
These people could designate the area as “swimming only” all you want, but you’d have to be a fucking psychopath to take a dip in that water after seeing this video. Sure it’s nice to cool off in the water sometimes, but I think I’ll take a cold shower and choose life instead.
