I ****ing hate them. Sorry.

Went to the grocery store and was on my way back. Two way street with one lane, then a grass median with trees and one lane on the other side of the median. Some ****ing crackie was jumping in front of cars then when they'd stop out of compassion, he'd start wailing on their cars with an aluminum baseball bat. Dude was bleeding all over too. Put a dent in my door frame and we were lucky. He was smashing windows left and right pulling on door handles trying to get in the car. My car's doors don't automatically lock so my wife was on the ball and locked them down.

I pulled around the corner a bit off, called 911 and waited for the cops. Other cars that got hit started lining up behind me. Cops showed up and I'm shocked the little ****er didn't get shot. He complied when the guns where pulled but if he wasn't getting out of the way of cars I'm surprised he laid down for a gun. We were definitely more lucky than most. Mostly because he was pulling on the door handle of the truck in front of us and he floored it which spun the guy and he was off balance when he hit our car. I doubt the damage will be more than our deductible. And I'm sure this bastard won't have the money to be forced to pay for his damage. uuuuggghhhh.

you called 911 & the cops actually showed up, and did their jobs? That is amazing. Glad you weren't injured.

Actually I tried to call 911. Got no answer. I think they were being flooded.

Out of curiousity, what was the responce time to get to your call?
 
Drugs do horrible things to people and a lot of the hard drug users aren't on exactly solid footing to begin with. He's probably lucky that the cops got to him before one of the drivers did.
 
Why does this make you want to insult people who enjoy drugs? It's a bit like watching a white person commit a crime then saying "I hate white people". Let's not paint with too big a brush here, he's just a crazy asshole.

What a scary situation! You and your fellow motorists are lucky to have gotten by with no more than property damage, and the crackhead is lucky to not have been killed by a car or a gun. I wonder what would have happened had he been run over? Would the driver have been cited?

We have become a drug addled society from top to bottom, and the so called war on drugs hasn't helped.

It wasn't too bad. But we are a small town here. I'd say, 10 minutes.

Come on man... he was out of his mind on something. If your drug kicks you back... More power too ya. If your drug makes you walk out into the middle of the street with an aluminum baseball bat then you have such problems that you become everyone else's problem.

btw... what a horrible analogy.

Well, some of them are, I assume, good people.

It was. Happened about an hour ago maybe a little more. I'm still a bit worked up adrenaline-wise. Had he been run over, the motorist would've been in the clear for just trying to get clear of the danger I think. But then, right or wrong, you'd have a dead person on your conscience for life. Found out from the officer on the scene that according to more testimony from other drivesr he talked to that the guy was bleeding before he got to swinging the bat at cars.

I was a bit worried for an elderly chap who pulled over immediately and got out of his car but the guy didn't target him fortunately.

Not to bad at all. Out in Bakersfield, the wait times are up around 30 minutes or so. We had one guy bag a burglar at his business and he had to wait over an hour and a half.

could you be attributing to drugs that which is the result of mental illness?

That's not out of the realm of possibility. I'm thinking I have a safe bet though. We should find out later. I have a case number I can call for follow up.
 
Sucks about your car but I am glad nobody was hurt.

I went through something similar about a year ago. Was taking our youngest to graduation practice and this crack-head stopped us in the middle of the street and started yelling at us. We drove away, obviously, and he ran after us. ****er was strong, too. Took both fists and did a "Hulk smash!" on our trunk lid. Put about a duck-egg sized dent in the trunk lid, and scratched the left quarter panel. The cops came and arrested him (probably only because he threatened the cops) and he spent 3 (whole :roll:) days in the pokey. I complained about it, told the cops that a witness knew the guy, and knew that he sold drugs from his apartment. Cops wouldn't even investigate. Cops here as lazy af.

The "drugs are what make good people turn bad and do bad things" argument is bull****. Millions of other "druggies" didn't assault anyone today and minded their business. You have no idea if he was on something or just crazy and violent, you inserted that detail yourself.

On an unrelated note, glad you're OK.

Drugs, including alcohol, can be both the cause and the effect of mental illness.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that and glad no one got hurt.

There are a few drugs that no one in their right mind should take, and certainly no one who's already mentally whacky.

From what I've seen:
Meth
PCP
and any synthetic garbage that comes out of China.

Maybe crack, too.

i'd toss in heroin to that list. your chances of becoming a recreational, every now and again "hey, that sounds fun, it's been a while" user are about as good as your chances of hitting the lottery without buying a ticket. plus half of that **** is probably laced with Chinese fentanyl, and that's like just add a syringe death in a packet.

Sorry about your car and everyone else's. Most like you stated earlier will end up paying out of pocket for repairs due to deductibles. And taxpayers in general will have to foot the bill to keep him off the streets. Drugs in my opinion are one of the worst threats to our country.

The elderly chap you described reminds me of my husband. He forgets he is 70 sometimes and when he sees injustices occurring he doesn't run away from them. He would not have stayed in his car either and at times that really worries me. I know in that situation he would have grabbed a tire iron and went after him.
