Tallahassee Democrat: A man protesting the handling of coronavirus in state prisons was taken into custody Friday morning after he trapped himself in two concrete-filled barrels outside the Governor’s Mansion, police said.
Jordan Mazurek, 28, was first seen outside the fence of the mansion in downtown Tallahassee around 6 a.m. He identifies himself on social media as a sociologist from Fort Worth, Texas, and the “national organizer and co-creator of the Campaign to Fight Toxic Prisons.”
Tallahassee police officers tried to talk Mazurek out of the protest, spokesman Kevin Bradshaw said. When they realized he was not going to stop, they began using jackhammers to remove the concrete in the barrels surrounding his hands. MORE
When you put the man from Texas into Florida, he becomes Florida Man.
He could have removed his arms, so they should have just put a little itching powder down the arm holes he was using to encourage him to take them out instead of using a jack hammer to do it.
Safer for everyone that way.

Armholes? How ’bout down his shorts?
Maybe he was really trying to make cement overshoes and they should’ve just tossed him into the Gulf of Mexico. So he’s a sociologist which makes him a certifiable idiot.
Now he can reform prisons while on the inside. A win-win.
I think I’ll go to Alaska and protest the Beach closings in Key West.
These People are Loooooooooooooooooooons !!!!!!
Looks like gator bait to me…
Chainsaw would work.
I notice the Florida press is starting to put the state of origin of the perpetrator of weird crimes In their stories. However, like the press everywhere else, they never mention the COUNTRY of origin when the perp is Mexican.
Sure looks like a Bernie Bro…is he from Austin?
I’m so old, first thing I thought of was the time the Six Million Dollar Man had his legs encased in a drum of cement. And got himself out.
They should have left him there and made a tourist attraction of him.
Flip him onto his side and give the dogs a place to piss (and the hobos).
It’s the FLU dude – nothing to get excited about – get a grip.
Why waste time on a Laugh-o-Matic?
izlamo delenda est …
Why didn’t they just roll him into the ocean?
Bent over, grabbing concrete is a position Jordan will get used to.
We hav enough lefty nuts in Tallahassee. We don’t need to import them.
Should have been thrown it a swamp…..
They should have taken him 100 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico and turn him into a reef.
