There’s only one person in this photo who actually has money.
Based on a photo I found via David Ellul; I made one with better typography.

Most “Florida Man” stories don’t feature someone with this much ambition: 18-year-old Malachi Love-Robinson of Palm Beach, Florida was arrested for practicing medicine without a license — convincingly enough to somehow hang his shingle in a medical office building and see patients. I assembled the video below from a number of reports filed by the news crew at KTLA 5, a local news show:
His Facebook page doesn’t exist anymore, but here’s a screen capture. As you can see, Love-Robinson went by “Dr. Love” on the page, which would be my runner-up choice if I had to use a fake doctor name. “Dr. Feelgood” is still my first choice:
While Love-Robinson should face the consequences for his actions, I think that simply locking him away would be a waste of some serious potential. It’s a rare 18-year-old who not only has the ambition to become a fake doctor (in both the sense of not having credentials and training, and also because I think naturopathy isn’t backed by any real science) but the skill and wit to somehow secure an office and start a practice. This isn’t a case of some hick sport-humping a manatee or a goofball thinking that throwing an alligator through a drive-through window would be a funny prank, but someone who exemplifies the sort of unorthodox thinking that leads to success that I talked about in my Ignite presentation on Florida Man. What he needs some kind of mentor to take that chutzpah and wherewithal and point them in a more productive direction.

You’re right, miss: that’s two families.
I don’t know where these two people live, but they’re at an anti gay marriage gathering in Italy (and the wrong side of history), whose past anti-miscegenation laws are unfamiliar to me. I am familiar with the U.S.’ laws, and a mere 50 years ago, it would’ve been illegal for them to marry. And even though the case of Loving v. Virginia struck down anti-miscegenation laws across the country in 1967, it took until 2000 for a certain very benighted backwater — I’m lookin’ at you, Alabama — to make black/white marriage legal. Even today, there are still some abhorrent people who’d find their pairing abhorrent.

“We’re on a mission from Picard.”
…and they’re 106 light years from Risa.
Thanks to Peach Flambee for the find!
The closest image I could find to “brandishing a gun while on a hoverboard”.
The lesson to be learned from this completely preventable tragedy in the Orlando area is that if you’re playing videogames and suddenly find a gun under your convicted felon dad’s bed, don’t take it and ride around on a hoverboard because you might accidentally and fatally shoot your 13-year-old cousin in the head when you lose your balance and fall off. As an added bonus, you’ll land your dad in the clink again: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon carries a mandatory minimum sentence.
Thankfully, a less tragic version of this story played itself out in St. Petersburg.
