If driver discharged slug on side of vehicle, what fool would step out in FRONT of vehicle to take picture?

---

While the driver is responsible for his actions, it must be recognized that the so-called victim brought his problems on himself. What manner of arrogance led him to attempt to detain the driver by placing himself in front of a running automobile? Who the heck did he think he was and what made him think he had the right to detain anyone?

---

Hey, wait a minute here! I have not heard or read that the slug was attempting to detain the driver. Yes, according to the original post he left the passenger door open so the driver could not move while he took the picture, but from everything I had read all he wanted to do was get a picture of the car/license plate and do something with that pic - whatever that plan was. Although I can't say getting in front of the car was a good idea but I think the slug was trying to make a point to the driver that what he - the driver - had done was wrong and the slug was going to do somthing about it by taking a picture. Regardless, I feel very sorry for the slug who got hit and anyone here bashing him should be ashamed! The driver of the car obviously has problems and should not be allowed to drive for a very long time; the slug now knows next time to not be in front of a car when taking a picture and the other passenger who was involved probably wishes to have stayed home that day!

---

He left the door open and stepped in front of the vehicle - two deliberate actions designed to prevent the driver from moving his vehicle until the slug released him to go. Some people don't take too kindly to being detained in this manner. The driver clearly had a volatile personality as evidenced by his earlier behavior, barking at the passengers and driving erratically. It was arrogant and foolhardy for the slug to think that he could get away with physically preventing the lunatic from roaring off. What the heck did he think the driver was going to do? I would have expected some kind of physical response. The slug's problem is that he left his Superman outfit home that day - or he should have at least stayed on the curb while he snapped his picture and maybe flipped the driver off as he pulled away.

It takes a lot of courage to stand up for the guy who deliberately drove his car into someone, and to criticize the person who was injured. I'm sure your friends appreciate knowing you're willing to kick people when they're down.

Learn how to read, you imbecile. I did not stick up for McKinney - I said he should be held responsible for his misdeeds. I did not criticize the person who was injured either - I criticized his lack of judgement in jumping in front of a vehicle manned by an individual he already knew to be volatile and erratic. It was a stupid thing to do and he paid the price for his reckless act. You know nothing about me or my friends and your claim that I kick people when they are down is untrue, unfounded, uncalled for, and just plain childish. What rock did you crawl out from under?

Are you in military yourself?

I think the original poster, tmcc, handled himself correctly by exiting the vehicle and walking away.


I don’t think I would give TMCC the same KUDOs.

The entire event and activities seem to be based on his word alone. His description is flip-it and inconsistent. Driving fast and passing one Prius in that long trip in the HOV lane is not erratic driving especially in the described vehicle. If he were playing a game on his phone, looking down by the time he served around the “Prius”, it would be unidentifiable. Whats wrong with overtaking a slower vehicle?

Requesting the slug not violate the rules of making adjustments to your vehicle is not “scolding” the slug. It’s enforcing control of your own vehicle.

TMCC said he got “a bad vibe that he was not a friendly guy so I stayed quiet in the back.” Yet in a later post he said he rode with this driver before. Notice he started his blog by saying “Hi folks, I'll try to keep this short as this story could get out of control.” Hhhhuummmmmm Why did he ride again if not comfortable with him?

Experienced slugs know the rules, know drivers drive fast in the HOV lane and should not get upset when they have a perky driver.

I did not read anything in TMCC’s post to warrant pictures or a report to any authority. Again, what fool would step in front of a driver trying to reenter traffic to take a picture of license plate? The one on the rear is just as visible.

I live in the are of where this man says he was picked up and I've heard of people harassing drivers on the way to work. They are making false claims in regards to the drivers in hopes of a law suit. These must be the guys. I don't know if it's safe to pick people up anymore if riders are going to start scams like this. This is supposed to be a safe way to commute, but people like this are making it scary. And why did this passenger just so happen to have a camera on him? Hhhhmmm. Sounds like a scam to me.

Can we say, camera phone. Not exactly a conspiracy theory.

Oh, and too the person who says the driver is enforcing ownership of his own car by not allowing the passenger to adjust the seat. Please. I have gotten into cars where the seat back is almost laying down. I am most certanly going to adjust that so I can sit up like a normal person and I will not ask permission. If the driver has a problem with it, I can pick another car. Also, I am very tall with long legs and if I need to move the seat back, I will or I will again, pick another car. So take that! For anything else, I will ask the driver first before I do it.
