AK-47-wielding driver opens fire from his car on a Miami highway Whut? Wait, Toyota Corolla? Read that back to me . . . Gangsta' in a Corolla, I guess that accounts for his aim, or lack thereof. You had me at Florida Man, er, driver, whatever, you know what you had me at!
"A Florida driver is facing multiple charges after firing an AK-47 at fellow motorists as he drove on Miami's Palmetto Expressway early Monday morning. Horvin Ruiz, 36, was arrested by Miami-Dade Police after he allegedly opened fire on the highway, shooting at drivers and police, according to NBC Miami. His arrest affidavit, obtained by Local 10 News, stated that Ruiz fired about 108 shots before 'unexpectedly' surrendering. * * * Ruiz faces 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder with a deadly weapon, three counts of child abuse and attempted premeditated first-degree murder. The incident took place at about 1.20am on Monday, when Ruiz, in a red Toyota Corolla, allegedly fired an assault rifle at passing cars, concrete barriers and even a Florida Highway Patrol cruiser." About 108 "shots?" Is it about, or is it 108, choose one. If you are rounding, pick something like 100, or 110, but using a specific number like 108 implies accuracy. You cannot define "assault rifle" so don't use the term, or define the term, good luck with that. The gun pictured appears to be an AKS-74U not an AK-47, this is not difficult to uncover, and you are a journalist, so do some of that journalism for a change. Perhaps this is a Norinco knock off, I've not heard of this, but who knows without seeing the stampings on the gun. Norinco seems to knock off everything, but only makes truly crappy products, so I would be surprised if one could fire 108 cartridges in succession. It is definitely not an AK-47, however. Moving on, this dude seems to be resigned to a lifetime in the Florida State Spa, er, Hotel Hell as the interned call it. Florida inmate calls death row 'hotel hell' I would suggest Horvin take a look at the article, and steel himself for the reality which undoubtedly awaits him. He might not make death row, but he will be in a dark, dank prison quite similar to this for a very long time. Enjoy your stay. Feel free to ask the warden to turn up the air conditioning! Heh. Don't drop the soap!
