He slowed to 2 mph on the interstate at 3AM to take a picture of the "Welcome to Florida" sign.

Is he a citizen?

Or not...

[VeniVidiVici]

Here’s your sign

[MNDude]

Too much blame directed at the sign

Why did it take more than a year to make an arrest?

Lab work, my backside.

[ChronicMA]

was he a tik tok influencer?

[mewzilla]

Is LE sure those kids were actually related to the perp...

Boy, I’m really wondering if those kids were actually related to the perp.

[sphinx]

Yes, but you’re still not supposed to rear end people. Vehicles can be stopped on the interstate for many reasons. It’s not always possible to get to the shoulder. Was the driver of the car who rammed into the rear of the stopped car charged with anything, or was he related to a politician? Or a cop?

At 3 a.m., one should be able to switch lanes and drive by. Was the driver asleep, drunk, or driving too fast for the road conditions (e.g. fog)? Or was he riding this guy’s bumper on an empty road?

[equaviator]

Where’s his need for instant gratification now?

I have seen drivers such as that: not stopping to photograph a sign, but stopping on an expressway and waiting for traffic to pass because they realized that were in the wrong lane to make their exit. I came close to slobbering one.

A drivers license test should also have some kind of test that checks for idiocy or other mental impairment. That would probably eliminate a good third of the drivers.

[ConservativeMind]

The person who rear-ended them is at fault.

Any minimum MPH on a highway should be ignored. Anything can cause slow traffic—look at rush hours in cities.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

‘Clobbering” not “slobbering “. Stupid autocorrect!

[jerod]

The site clicks to the NY Post... His the dumb*ss's picture.

[logi_cal869]

Is that a new form of sarcasm? I sure hope so.

[metmom]

Is LE sure those kids were actually related to the perp...

I find it strange that the parents were not with the kids.

[CivilWarBrewing]

No, not entirely. Marvin SHOULD have pulled over to do what he did. He was clearly NEGLIGENT for nearly STOPPING on the highway to take a photo. IDIOTIC!

I am guessing Marvin's brake lights weren't functioning and I would be curious what the status of his lights were overall. What were the weather conditions? This would be relevant as well.

[SMARTY]

Isn’t it illegal to stop on the hwy?

[T.B. Yoits]

Stopping on the highway to take a picture is in line with the mentality of someone used to riding a donkey.

[nwrep]

I guess he became a Florida man as he got close to the border.
