That’s right Stumpknocker, they just get a slap on the wrist, and in return they get bolder!
I wonder how our public officials in the courtrooms across Florida, and in Tallahassee, would feel if he had been successful in murdering those three leo’s.
Only 27 years old, so approximately 25 at the time of this crime. And look at all the prior charges and convictions. People are right this justice system is broke.
