Remember how I just posted that Martin County was the greatest place to live in the entire state of Florida?  Well, here comes a story that proves the rule… NO PLACE IN FLORIDA IS SAFE FROM NUTTERS.

— He pelted her with an orange, but she came after him with a steak knife, and deputies arrested both Thursday afternoon, according to arrest reports.

The incident occurred in the 14900 block of Southwest 173rd Avenue about 5:30 p.m. when 18-year-old Quandaries Cornell Kerr took his live-in girlfriend’s car keys and refused to return them, according to the reports. Kerr then threw an orange at the woman, 22-year-old Joythia Rena Wallace, striking her in the face, and she retaliated by grabbing the knife and trying to stab him.

Kerr managed to take the knife from Wallace, but he accidentally cut his own hands doing so, according to the arrest reports. He refused treatment from rescue personnel.

Ah, love… it’s a many splendor thing.  I feel sorry for their 5 month old kid.

But hey… have you heard?  WE’RE NUMBER 11!

Well now… I keep telling people that I live in the only decent place in Florida… and now Forbes goes and proves me out!  Go figure.

Martin County is one of the best places in America to raise a family, according to Forbes magazine.

Using school scores, graduation rates, per capita income and other statistics, the magazine judged every county in the country with more than 65,000 residents. Martin County ranked 11th in the nation.

We’re number 1… uhrmmm, I mean 11.  Not too shabby now is it?  I am glad to be a resident of this great county.  It’s really the last place in the state that I have deemed livable.  From here, I’m off to Idaho to build my fortress of solitude.  *Rubs hands together maniacally*… Armageddon THIS!
