Court records indicate that Sampson received a citation for speeding in Hillsborough County less than two months ago. The complaint said he was going 99 mph on Interstate 75, where the speed limit is 70 mph...

Death penalty. 30 days.

“…. Facing 8 felony charges”

What he’s not facing is the death penalty. Back when we were a serious country it wasn’t unusual at all for serious criminals to be tried and executed in a matter of weeks. They didn’t mess around. Swift punishment is absolutely crucial to maintaining a reasonably civilized society.

Sheriff Grady Judd would not have called the driver a “gentleman”.

I-275.

OTOH, once on I-75 I was in traffic doing 95 and we got passed by an old Prius.

He could be.

“Trust no one” eh. Most notably himself but criminals have loads of self esteem until things go south so to speak.

He kills 4 people and tries to look tough about it. I bet his elementary school teachers had tattoos and nose rings. Of course they had weird colored hair.

That’s the end of Bradley’s. You can’t do repairs and re-open a business where your clientele are going to be sitting and drinking in a sidewalk cafe and having a good time where four lives were very violently taken.

The karma would be horrible on that sidewalk.
