Minor Fender-Bender Leads to Murderous Rampage in Fla.

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.

Well, the anti-gunners' warnings about rampages over fender benders finally happened. Except the murderer had a knife and a good citizen with a gun could have stopped him before anyone was dead.

Maybe his wife just left him. Lost his job. Migraine. Ingrown toenail. Picked a bad week to quite smoking. Bad karma. Too much caffeine. Paying it backward. Bad case of the Mondays. Heard one too many Obama speeches.

Finally!

A total loser where I can say what I feel!

Stab him.
Shoot him.
Draw and quarter him.
Then hang him and feed him to the rats.

He was probably bummed over Obama’s poor showing at Saddleback.

a good citizen with a gun could have

You should probably keep this in a Word doc or something 'cause I feel it may be applicable in the future, the likes of which we've never seen before.

The sick Thugs our society has bred over the last twenty years represent a bumper-crop beyond the scope of law enforcement's capabilities. The lapse between our recognizing it and responding to it will certainly produce a bevy of victims.

All of this may have been planned, though. Disarm the people, unleash the hounds, follow-up with a police state Stalin would envy.

We, the unarmed People have created a vacuum the state will enthusiastically fill. Even with a constitution and bill of rights.

As this summer winds down, I plan to add a couple pieces of hardware to my home collection that will be designed to fullfill a self and home protection function.

Anyone glued to a 30 yr. mortage must remember: it doesn't mean you'll want to live there after thirty years, only how long you have to pay off the loan. Pay attention to the 'vacancies' in your neighborhood lest they become 'nests' for undersirables. California, Nevada, and Florida have lots of properties that have been abandonded. These folks should pay close attention and be prepared.

“then running over and killing a woman who had been riding in another nearby vehicle.”

You’d think after seeing the guy attacking people, she’d have had the sense to get out, or at least fight back.

I may not be legally allowed to carry a loaded gun in my truck, but I’m always “moving my dagger collection” :p

She WAS trying to flee with her grandchild. She probably hesitated and or/was in shock because he had stabbed her daughter.
