  • The trooper who shot him showed remarkable restraint in not executing this POS once he had him incapacitated. He was in prison for shooting a deputy multiple times then running him over with a car to kill him.

  • Unfortunately, he is alive. But, maybe his former buddies in prison will solve that problem, as punishment for his failing, and getting them harsher conditions as a result.

  • they had a chance to save the taxpayers a bundle--wonder how much it will cost to feed this cockroach for the next thirty years

  • Should've double tapped between the eyes. That would've saved the folks of NY some tax dollars. Sure Andy gave different orders.

  • I bet he's pissed. He was only about 3 miles from the Canadian border per what I just read.
