April 24 – Florida Man Rescues Grandma Sitting on a Floating Throne-Shaped Ice

A man from Florida who had traveled to Iceland was applauded for his heroic act after rescuing a woman sitting on a throne-shaped piece of ice.

Judith Streng was visiting Iceland when a piece of ice rekindled her childhood. The piece of ice was inviting to her, she said, looking like a good place to sit. So, without considering that the ice would float away or maybe fail to bear her weight, she went up to it in search of the “queen” feeling it would afford her.

However, the rough sea showed her there were better places to make fun and games when a “very big wave” pushed away the ice throne. The wave was big enough to make the ice lose balance and topple it over. However, before things got there, a Florida man in a nearby boat had been watching the events and kickstarted the rescue mission.

Streng who had been reclining on the throne-shaped ice and posing for photos with a big smile realized she was slipping off. When questioned later about her feelings about the ordeal, Streng said she was happy she got the chance to enjoy a moment she had been seeking since childhood. She had wanted to be queen and that was her chance, she said, so she had no regrets about it.

The incident that happened at Diamond Beach in Jorkusarlon was recorded by her daughter who went on to share it online. Seems Florida isn’t the only screwed-up place. Texas too has old people who are making sure to experience some moments they’ve always wished for. And while most of us are always appalled at the daring spirit of the elderly in these cases, most of them would want to relive those moments!

April 24 – Florida Man Arrested After Breaking His Opponent’s Nose in Fight About Iconic Rapper 2Pac

A disagreement about the late rapper 2Pac led to a fight between two Florida men. Ultimately, what was thought as a mere argument turned into a police case after one man was rushed to hospital.

The incident happened in Clearwater, Florida, when two men reportedly started arguing about 2Pac and other topics about legacy. However, each of them had different opinions about the topic, which they wanted heard and considered. But when they couldn’t find a way to negotiate their discussion, it turned out to be an argument that quickly went out of hand.

This is when onlookers made emergency calls to local police, reporting a battery in progress at the corner of Chestnut Street and South Myrtle Ave, as stated by WFLA. Upon arriving at the scene, the cops reportedly found the unnamed victim still conscious but with swollen eyes and big lumps. The police tried interviewing the drunk victim but couldn’t make out whatever he was trying to say. At that, the man was taken to hospital where he was discovered to have sustained a broken nose from the fight.

Further investigations revealed that the suspect was Thomas Statkiewicz, 35 before he was arrested and charged with felony battery. Upon questioning, Statkiewicz admitted to having punched the victim multiple times to his nose as a defense against the punches his opponent was wielding.

Whether it’s a coincidence or not, there have been a few fight incidents related to Tupac. In another event, a woman who went by the name Tupac Amaru Shakur was arrested for hitting people around Florida with a baseball bat. The woman was accused of violence against an elderly person after attacking him while the old man was sitting at a hospital bench.

The elderly gentleman grabbed the bat and rushed inside the hospital to find some safety. However, the woman followed him inside, claiming that the man was attacking her, as reported by police.
