I used to almost feel sorry for the old man until I heard about this particular fact that was rarely reported back in 2003 (at least I never heard it; I only heard it recently, and then repeated here by Dallas...it's not in the Fox article):

Witnesses testified that after Weller left the post office his car rear-ended a Mercedes-Benz just outside the farmer's market, then roared through the market's entrance.

I think what happened was he caused damage to the Mercedes, and sped away to avoid having to pay anything for it; when he started hitting people he may have either panicked or maybe did that on purpose too. The point is, he probably was fully aware of what was going on at first, and only later claimed to be a "poor old confused man".

Just because someone is aged, doesn't mean they are nice. There are plenty of old people who are quite nasty. Jack Murtha comes to mind.

I wanted that old baby-killing coot decapitated and his head placed on a sharpened pike outside of the AARP headquarters after hearing about this comment of his several months ago:

Prosecutors said that was more than enough time to realize and correct his mistake, suggesting he steered into people and away from parked cars to avoid hurting himself. They called one witness who claimed Weller said: "You saw me coming, why didn't you get out of my way?"

Of course, some morons here think that there's no purpose to be served by placing this murderer behind bars.

Local talk show hosts have speculated that he sped off not to avoid paying, but because he panicked that his license would be taken away. Had he pulled over to sort out his fender bender, ten lives would have been spared, including the sister of a friend.
