Thug Shot Cop 4 Times, Officer Shows Up at Court: “So, I Got a Little Gift for You”

A violent criminal who tried to murder a Florida cop has been sentenced to life in prison after shooting the officer four times.
Now, video footage from inside the courtroom has gone viral after the cop showed up to deliver a special "going away gift" for the smug thug.


The officer’s car

Kevin Rojas was just 19 years old when he tried to kill an undercover Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office officer who was in his car with his teenage son. When the off-duty officer, who was taking his son to school, saw Rojas driving erratically, the cop decided to make a traffic stop. Rojas got out of his car and shot through the windshield of the officer’s vehicle, striking him four times. Luckily, the officer’s teenage son was unhurt in the incident. The officer, however, was struck in the face, stomach, and hand.

The wounded police officer, even after taking a bullet to the head, managed to fire back as Rojas ran away. The thug stole a truck and raced back to his neighborhood, barricading himself inside his home after crashing the truck at a neighbor’s house. Rojas was shot multiple times through a glass door, hit in the torso, leg, and hand, after police officers said he wouldn’t drop his gun, according to Daily Mail.


Attempted cop-killer Kevin Rojas

A smug and smiling Rojas was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of attempted first-degree murder, attempted manslaughter, two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, grand theft auto, and fleeing. Circuit Judge James Daniel sentenced him to the maximum prison sentence for each of the crimes he committed. So, Rojas not only received life in prison but also three 15-year sentences for the lesser charges.

He’d make a decent organ donor.

They'll try to remember to wait until his demise to start. Chinese Communists never bother with that.

When Rush reported the story that people can buy underground network organs and they will supply a healthy organ from a non-smoker, Rush said how many Chinese do not smoke? He doubted that part of the deals.

"Organlegging" or "organ harvesting" still around not only in China.

The Kid’s street cred at shooting a cop 4 times is more than likely going to going to get him some protection in prison. Normies probably got quite a kick out of the gesture but inmates aren’t swayed by such theater.

So this happened in 2017? Wonder how much time he has left in prison?

Egypt, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Africa. Even this country. And others, as well.

Other organ harvesters....

Thanks. Didn’t know the details.

I’ll take them off my vacation destination list.

Some hotel maid probably asks $5 US to let the thugs in at night.

“there’s no lube in prison”

Convicts are resourceful and will find something else suitable to their needs. Butter, jelly, oil from the machine shop, grease/lard from the kitchen, shampoo/conditioner, etc.

Not speaking from experience. Just saying.
That little dude is going to be very popular. If some of the stuff I saw on HBO is accurate, he’s going to playing housewife to some dude named Bubba for the bargain basement price of a pack of menthol cigarettes.

Obviously you've never been in a prison.

Of course there is. It's the leavings of the last guy.

And who are you judging?

The actions of those condemning this kid by their appraisal of their perception of his demeanor.

Go and learn the difference between judging the person and judging his actions.

He is judged by his actions.

Judging actions is one thing, judging the person is another. Only God is qualified to judge a person and his soul.

OMG - that’s insane.

Of course we have the right to condemn a man who attempted to murder an innocent man. The fact he tried to do it in front of the man’s son just makes it worse.

When I was five I took a candy bar at the grocery store when I was standing in the check out line with my mother. I’m guessing she paid for it - but if she did - or if she didn’t - I still have the right to condemn this lowlife jerk who tried to kill a police officer.

And so do you.

You have the right to condemn his actions, but not his soul. Only God can do that.

Absolutely peak cringe behavior. Nothing “gotcha” about it, it’s a cliche trope and the officer should’ve just went on with his life knowing that POS is never getting out. Tons of inmates like the guy-on-guy sex anyway, its not really a threat anymore.
