MIAMI (AP) — Police in Florida have managed to arrest the Joker without Batman’s help following reports of a green-haired man with tattoos on his face pointing a gun at traffic.

A Miami-Dade police report says 29-year-old Lawrence Sullivan was arrested Tuesday evening and charged with carrying a concealed firearm. A booking photo shows the word “Joker” and a knife-pierced Batman symbol across Sullivan’s forehead, while tattoos of long, stitched cuts are on each side of his mouth. His green hair matches that of the comic book and movie villain.

Police say officers found a loaded handgun on the self-described “tattoo model.”

Sullivan was being held on $5,000 bail. Jail records didn’t list an attorney.

He's damaged. But he didn't need a tattoo to tell everyone.

Damaged

So what is it about Florida exactly?

Are the drugs down there better or something?

 

[thecosmicfly]

I blame the humidity.

 

[adamsapple]

So edgy.

Couldn't even commit to the Glasgow smile (or whatever variation you like).

 

[vatstep]

Does the bat symbol say "fuck Batman"?

This guy's alright.

 

[adj_noun]

Does...does that symbol say "Fuck Batman"?

Now all I can imagine is the Joker's newest crime wave being slapping "Fuck Batman" on everything in Gotham.

 

[sixteen-bit]

diablo and leto joker had a son

 

[Jazzy Network]

He's an agent of Chaos.

 

[Sephzilla]

There's dumb people everywhere. Florida just reports on it more because we have extremely unrestricted open record laws.

I follow this Instagram page called Sucky Tattoos and they kept showcasing this guy for a little bit.

He finally responded with a hand-drawn sign that said "Fuck Sucky Tattoos" in big letters, but also "Fuck Batman" in the corner.

Apparently it's in part due to Florida's open government law, which gives free access to governmental records to anyone. So while weird stuff like this happens everywhere, in Florida journalists have means to just scour criminal records to pad out issues on slow news day freely, while in other states it's more difficult to do so.

E: Beaten, of course

 

[Ray Wonder]

Clearly he's not accustomed to making good life choices

 

[Diancecht]

So, uh we are some kind of Florida Man huh?

 

[C.Mongler]

He literally has "Fuck Batman" tattooed on his forehead. Alright then.

As a floridian, I'd like to state that while the above is true, Florida is still certainly special.

[The Elite]

His face is cluttered as fuck.

 

[Kyzer]

Somehow his tats are better than letos

 

[JBourne]

Fuck Batman.

 

[Ray Wonder]

His face is cluttered as fuck.

Haha game of the year edition face ass

 

[paragonpro]

What is it with people joker obsession, since the dark knight, this hot topicifation of the joker has brought all sorts of weirdos out of the woods

 

[BetterThanNothing]

"I just want my phone call."

"You can take it anytime you want..."

"And P.O.D.'s discography"

 

[SilentRacoon]

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to become Florida Man.

 

[Boem]

Man, for years I've been waiting for real-life bad guys to start dressing up like comic book villains. Put the game back in crime. And Joker is one of the best.

And now we finally get a guy who just goes for it, and he picks the worst Joker by far. What a tool. He looks like a marketing guy. Or a ride attendant at some Batman ride in some theme park.

I'm honestly offended a bad guy identified with Suicide Squad so much. What a waste of insanity.

 

[red731]

He looks so happy.

 

[kewlmyc]

I'm....not.....I'm not a freak.

 

[DoctorFling]

Jared Leto rehearsing for Suicide Squad 2... set in Florida confirmed?

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Did he get these tats before or after Suicide Squad? That's what I wanna know.

 

[BudokaiMR2]

As a floridian, I'd like to state that while the above is true, Florida is still certainly special.

As someone who lived in Florida for a large part of their life, I like to believe that law exists to keep sane Floridians safe because the state really does have a lot of crazies.

This reminds me of a story from my early 20's. I was having lunch at a sushi bar and I get into a conversation with another dude in there. Now keep in mind, this is in Texas so this next part can be considered not a freak occurance. So the dude had just been to a gun show and picked up an AK-47 which he had in the trunk, unloaded of course, and offered to show it to me. So we go out to the parking lot and I get to heft it and all that and check it out.

I decide to aim down the sites get a feel for what it was like to use one of these bad boys when a car I didn't see coming passes right in front of me which means the driver and passenger pass right in front of me while I'm aiming down the sites at them. They seemed a bit spooked in the way they pointed at me with eyes huge and I felt terrible. I was like, think we better get going now heh. So I gave him his gun back and we took off.

 

[Harmen]

He really does seem straight out of the Suicide Squad film. As someone else states above, as if Leto Joker and that fire dude had a son.

Man, for years I've been waiting for real-life bad guys to start dressing up like comic book villains.

Phoenix Jones earned himself a real life supervillain.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Bet he's fun at family gatherings.

There are literally stupid people everywhere in the US..I haven't found an influx of stupidity compared to MI where I'm from. Florida is a "Right to Know" State so everything is pretty much public record, so our news outlets love reporting on the fuckery daily. I actually find the Florida man stories entertaining, and just a reminded of how imperfect our world is.

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

That's a pretty awesome beard tattoo.

 

[HStallion]

Why so serious?

 

[rekameohs]

Finally, a fan of the DCEU

Tattoo would've said "Fuck Superman" instead

 

[Moose Biscuits]

I bet his mother is going to be perturbed by this news.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

That's a rough 29.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Better Jocker than Jared Leto
