Investigators said that two drivers, 40-year-old Gary Durham and 42-year-old Robert Padgett, were involved in a confrontation. According to deputies, Padgett pulled out a gun and fatally shot Durham.

“Surely those who say they are of Christ but actually are of obdurate hard heart will miss the most significant thing God says, which is that He takes no delight in the death of the wicked.”

Is that an accusation or statement?

Maybe you forgot Justice is balanced with Mercy?

Tell me about Haman?
Nimrod?
Herod Agrippa?
Hillary Clinton?

Now that’s a bit extreme. It’s only crossed my mind to have a bag of fishing sinkers as an accessory but that’s about it.

This is not the MLK you think. It is a relatively rural area outside of Tampa, but about 20 miles into the country. It’s a small town best known for its Strawberry Festival. The only reason it has an MLK road is because they renamed the entire Highway.

Now, this is not one of the roads where you tell a young man to go West. Here be dragons and all...

“The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.” (Psalm 11:5).

“There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.” (Proverbs 6:16-19)


Leftists are up the creek. Yikes!

found this from back in 2002:
"Gary Durham, who killed a motorist with a single punch in a road rage incident last October, pleaded guilty to manslaughter Thursday. His plea was part of a deal that is expected to land him a prison sentence of nearly 12 years.
Durham, 26, was driving on N Armenia Avenue on Oct. 24 when his Infiniti nearly collided with a Chevrolet Suburban driven by Timothy Gibbs, 48.
The men exchanged angry words and gestures. Durham followed Gibbs into the parking lot of an auto repair shop, where, witnesses said, Durham sucker-punched Gibbs in the head. Gibbs hit his head on the asphalt and died 1 1/2 weeks later.

I remember seeing freeway shootings on tv in NY and I would think Californians were nuts. Then I moved out here, The people doing the shooting are the sane ones. The others were the a-holes that can’t drive.

The exchange happened on Dr. MLK Jr. Boulevard...

This runs from Plant City into Tampa through a lot of rural and suburban/unincorporated areas in between. The shooting was in a mostly rural area. It's also known as highway 574.

Post 45 is the guy you want to keep alive.

I don’t wish ill on anyone, BUT, if there is another of these kinds of road ragers out there, may it be you or your family they focus on, not some innocent person.

Thank you for clarifying that you class me as “non innocent person” — of course that is the case with everybody in the eyes of the Lord.

We should not be going around with minds like lizards.

You don’t wish ill on anyone, of course, till you do.

We also should not be going around praying that evil men continue to live among us.

If it has to be, may it be you and yours who suffer, because, unlike you, me and mine want his kind dead and gone.

Your deliberate ‘misunderstanding’ of what I wrote is no surprise to me.

Your definition of what qualifies as Christianity is the “lite version”. Folks like you are a dime a dozen.

Bill looks like he has alzheimer’s (among other neurological disorders).
Hillary can’t seem to keep her feet or mind. All her efforts will be for nothing.

Vengeance seems to already be playing itself out.
