Still No News on David Belniak

I know this is old news to come of you here in Florida, but it will never be old news to the family members who have to suffer through the aftermath of the deaths caused by David Belniak on December 25, 2007. Therefore, I am bringing the topic up once again.
This morning as I was taking my daughter to school I was driving behind a Chevy Tahoe. The first thing I thought as I was looking at this large, sturdy-looking vehicle was of the pictures I saw of the Tahoe that Belniak’s victims had been riding in and how it was all but pulverized from behind when Belniak slammed into it after running a red light at a high speed.
My heart sank. Is there really any vehicle on the market that is safe when idiot drivers like David Belniak are still driving our roads? – especially when said idiot is driving a Nissan Titan, which is even bigger than a Tahoe.
Listen to what another driver who saw Belniak on the road just before the accident wrote:
We saw the driver of the truck on Little Rd and 52 yesterday. Truthfully I was afraid to drive my husband to his sisters for Xmas dinner with our family. He had just had the staples and JP tube removed the day before from his surgery. The truck driver came across traffic in front of the car in front of us and hit the median and came back to the center lane. We stopped at the light to turn on to Fivay and just past the light at Fivay he came left again and drove upon the median and back into traffic. We commented there was going to be a wreck. I told my husband I didn’t have my cell phone to try to call and report him. I saw the accident on the news last night. I new it was him. My husband confirmed it this morning when I show him the picture in the paper. The driver of that truck injured and killed that man by the time we reached my sister-in-laws. I feel horrible for those poor people in the SUV. They are the ages of my parents. This is a horrible tragedy. The words I have for the man driving that truck can not be published!!!
That people have had to live in fear of driving on the same roads as Belniak is asinine, because the man has already been to prison for drug trafficking, hit and killed an elderly woman who was crossing a road, and had numerous high-speed traffic tickets issues. It has been heavily speculated that Belniak has been lightly dealt with in the past because his sister Debra Tuomey was an assistant district attorney for Pasco County. If this is the case, I hope his family feels deep shame for enabling him to murder again.
As of today, I still have not heard any more information on what is going to be done about Belniak. As far as I know, he is still walking free. So, buckle up Florida. You never know when this freak might come up behind you on the road while you are driving.
Are you kidding me? This person is still walking around Florida? Or somewhere else, cause if I had his record and his money, I would be out of the country. Aren’t the people of Florida embarrassed by this? How can he not be charge with anything? Three people died becuase he ran a red light, that warrants some moving violation. I guess his sister is very powerful down there.
To Alfred & Marlene Belniak I hope you are proud of your son he killed 4 people in a short period of time you people keep bailing him out if you were good parents you would of let him stay in jail before he kills again, give him a gallon of alcohol, a gallon of GHB, some xanax & coke and go take a family ride.
