This POS is somebody’s child. Y’all should be ashamed of yourselves, you judge somebody on a little piece of information and you know nothing about his life or events that have led him down a bad path. This man is mentally ill and needs help but violent people like you are part of the reason why we have such problems. Try to use your brains and be part of the solution instead of perpetuating the problem.

There’s no such thing as an innocent citizen……..
Eight times to prison in Florida, starting at age 19. Looks like he didn’t learn anything, possibly because they were all short-term sentences. Give him about 10-15 years mandatory and see how he acts then. And I agree with Rebel Pride 100%.
Sorry, I (also) agree with Rebel Pride, at least it would put an end to his habitual offender status.
