Another Incident to Show Why You Should CCW

Post by 308Mike »

I'm sure these people had no idea of the level of rampage and violence that was to befall them that day when they left home in their cars.
Minor Fender-Bender Leads to Murderous Rampage in Fla.

Wednesday, August 20, 2008

LAKE HAMILTON, Fla. — A Florida man was arrested after allegedly going on a violent rampage after a minor fender-bender, slashing and stabbing the occupants of a car, then running over and killing a woman who had been riding in another nearby vehicle.

Casey Weldon Till, 26, of Haines City, faces murder and carjacking charges after the attacks involving family members traveling in two vehicles.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office tracked Till to his home through a pill bottle left at the scene late Sunday night. Police allege that he killed Odalis Cespedes, 41, by running her over twice. Till told police he was high on crack at the time.

The violence apparently unfolded after Till's minivan slammed into a stopped car being driven by Cespedes' daughter, 19-year-old Ivon Despaigne, and her boyfriend, 21-year-old Angel Gonzalez, of Kissimmee. When the couple got out to check the damage, Till allegedly slashed Gonzalez's throat and stabbed Despaigne in the neck.

Too bad nobody with a CCW happened to be nearby to take this piece of trash out and save the taxpayers the court and housing costs.

I'm having trouble reading the article through the red curtain of blood.
If you are unwilling to give another man freedom in his life, do not expect to have it in your own.

There's his defense. Poor guy, he just couldn't control himself.

At least here in Polk county, that "I'm a victim, blame society" bullshit doesn't fly. This bastard will be on an express line for the needle once one of our juries hears the case.

You know, this one sets me off on several levels. But the one that really gets me this morning is that so many people say that I'm just as bad as the gun banners when I'm OK with bans on highly addictive and psychotropic drugs. Drugs actually do change people's behavior and in negative ways. Guns don't. Frikkin' morons.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Yeah... It's a big flaw in the whole libertarian bit -- I understand the idea that gov't shouldn't get involved, but crack and meth MAKE people violent...
