Freedom of information laws, including statutory public records. The Florida Public Records Law states:

"It is the policy of this state that all state, county, and municipal records shall at all times be open for a personal inspection by any person."

— Fla. Stat. sec. 119.01(1) (1995)

So, given that it's run by, well, people, the media can (and will) publish information about absolutely anything that happens, giving the state its reputation for bizarre stories, whereas in other states with less open freedom of information laws, it seems a lot quieter. There are of course other things to blame, too - FL is notoriously bad at funding public mental health programs - but the state has also put a microscope on itself other states don't have. Just imagine if you heard about everything in other places, too.

And the poor victim probably was just working the counter/drive-thru and had no involvement with the kitchen (not that anyone should be shot over a delayed meal...literally just go somewhere else)...

That’s the sad part right there, “FL is notoriously bad at funding public mental health programs...” My concern with Florida is that it feels like the government there just gave up on its people and said F it, the problems will go away on their own.

Florida does not have this reputation due to freedom of information laws. Those just mean anyone can request to view public (state, county, municipal) records without requiring a reason. Curious about what the Miami-Dade County school board is spending it's annual money on? Easy, you can request those records under the state law. 

Crimes, such as homicide, public intoxication, etc., can be publicly reported on in any state. If someone rolled up to a McDonalds in Maryland and shot someone over a McRib, you can be guaranteed local media would cover the story. As you've mentioned, Florida does not provide many resources for public mental health, has relaxed gun laws, among other legislative failures which can pile-on into increasingly odd societal behavior. Those would be why Florida has it's reputation.

The fact this is a story that would not be worth hearing about in other states just tells you how ****ed this country is.

If this happens in Canada, no matter the province, it will be talked about for years. The same way we had a mass shooting in 89' and it's still being talked about, whereas in the US you have one every. ****ing. day.

The US is literally a ****ing mess and there is NOTHING you can say to defend it. NOTHING.
