Fun Facts From Florida!: We Will Beat Your Ass For Not Liking The Sweet Song Stylings Of Mariah Carey

It’s not like we’re not immensely proud of home-grown exports like Trina, Trick Daddy and KC and the Sunshine Band, but, really, what gets Floridians going is a lil’ Mariah Carey blasting like a sperm whale mating call through our custom loudspeakers. At least, such is the case for one man from North Naples:

Zachary Alan Schreiber, 21, of 5750 Painted Leaf Lane in Golden Gate, was stopped at the light at Pine Ridge and Airport-Pulling roads around 10:30 p.m.

His music drew the attention of Mariah-hater William Greenman, 22, who called Schreiber a derogatory name for listening to the newlywed singer’s music.

It’s true; he is known as a Mariah-hater ’round these parts.

Profanities flew back and forth between Schreiber and Greenman, who was a passenger in the other vehicle, as the cars traveled west on Pine Ridge, deputies say.

When they again stopped at the Goodlette-Frank intersection, the war of words escalated. Deputies say the avid Mariah fan then hurled a beer bottle at Greenman.

Music! Soothes the savage beast. Right after he gets through ramming a beer bottle through a motherfucker’s face.
