As much as I am reluctant to see anyone that young being executed, I would be far more reluctant to see him getting released after 10-20 years after repeating it.

The Sheriffs of Florida and their deputies will never forget the sacrifice you and your family made to uphold our laws and protect society.

Your name has been inscribed on the Florida Sheriffs and the National Law Enforcement Memorial and in our hearts. May you forever rest in peace.

A scripture inscribed on the Florida Sheriffs Law Enforcement Memorial:

"Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called the children
of God." Matthew 5:9

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 61rst anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.

The senseless and cold blooded murder of Sheriff Edward Porter, Jr. reminds us that each day we put on the uniform may be the last day we do so; but that does not stop us from protecting the citizens of our great cities or counties.
Sheriff Porter's death inspired the installation of "cages" in patrol cars to protect the officer(s), and prevent further harm. Although I was a child when this occurred, I wish I could have met Sheriff Porter and said "thank you for your selfless service".

I hope this little sociopath got what he deserved. No one, ecspecially, a Sheriff, deserves this. May God have blessed your family and continues to do so.
