A 21-year-old man is charged with first-degree murder after intentionally hitting and killing a 75-year-old man with his car in the Hudson area, Pasco County deputies said Friday.
There are some cases that we hear of that absolutely, even for us in law enforcement, make us just realize and remind us that theres pure evil in this world, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said.
According to deputies, Justyn Pennell said he planned to kill somebody for several months. He went out to run errands around 2:30 p.m. Thursday, then noticed the man walking alongside Aripeka Road.
Pennell told deputies after he saw the victim, he intentionally made a U-turn and accelerated towards the victim.
Deputies explained that the victim tried getting out of the way, but Pennell ran him over with his PT cruiser.

Here is a senior citizen and a veteran - these fucking morons never think about consequences - what did this innocent man do to deserve this - how this would affect this man's family or where he would end up for life.
Fuck this useless waste of humanity.

I am generally opposed to the death penalty, but this is one case where I just think that this bastard should be wiped off the face of the earth. These people rarely change for the better.

(269,219 posts)While the victims family does not want his name to be made public, deputies said hes Vietnam War veteran, father and grandfather.
Deputies tell 8 On Your Side that Pennell has never been arrested.
He was very calm during the interview, Pasco County Sheriffs Office Sgt. Michael Rosa said. He was able to answer all the questions. He remained lucid. He wasnt under the influence of anything.

(744 posts)Pennell confessed to killing the victim, saying he intended to kill someone, whether they were walking or riding a bicycle, just to see what its like to kill.
If he's ever wondered what it's like in prison, now he's going to get to. Check that one off of his sick bucket list too.

(29,723 posts)Deputies also mentioned a witness called from the scene, saying they saw the body of the victim and also saw some people drive up and take pictures of what happened before driving off. People drove up took pictures and THEN DROVE OFF??? What the hell is that??? Damn some in our country have really turned pathetic. Is it because of the orange piece of shit in our house???

(15,962 posts)The suspect tells us later on that while he was driving there, at this victim, he can see the look of fright on the victims face, Nocco said. The sheriff also explained that Pennell laughed and smiled during the incident.
After hitting the victim, Pennells car broke down and he called 911. While on the phone with a 911 operator, deputies say Pennell confessed to killing the victim, saying he intended to kill someone, whether they were walking or riding a bicycle, just to see what its like to kill.
Ya could've just joined the military if you just wanted to experience killing someone, COWARD!

(11,773 posts)same thing- guy wanted to know what it was like to kill someone. One night at the beach, he saw a couple sitting on a bench, no one else around, and so he shot them. Basically, for fun. Horrifying.
