	-Had a heart attack or seizure and blacked out behind the wheel? No excuse.

	
	Some guy deliberately jumps out in front of you while pointing an  unknown object at you? Possibly an excuse.

	
	People's stance when firing a gun and taking a picture are vastly different. Something that one might know as Master Sargent or whatever his rank is/was...

	
	Yeah - agreed. I was thinking along the lines of what kind of story he is likely to give to the court, � la "I don't know what happened. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him jump in front of my car and raise an object and point it at me. I knew he was pissed off and I had to get out of there fast. I must have panicked and hit the gas..."

	^ His story is gonna consist of a very large check given to his attorney and the matter will be closed... Justice is given to those that can afford it. ------------------------- Times to beat: Horner Rd to/from Pentagon: 12 mins Without Slugs - 17 mins With slugs Dale City exit to/from 3rd St Tunnel, D.C. 18 mins (No slugs - Holiday)

	WTOP reported yesterday afternoon that at McKinney's preliminary hearing in Arlington County District Court, Judge Thomas Kelley denied a motion to reduce the charge and ruled the evidence was sufficient to sent this case to trial. McKinney is still free on bond and his next court appearance is set for April 21. The testimony of the victim taken under oath is interesting reading and reported on WTOP's web site: http://www.wtop.com/?nid=41&sid=2333267

	I wonder if I rode with this guy recently. Silver Mercedes, VA plates KFP-1478. Drove 90 mph (didn't bother me as an S-class Mercedes will handle 90 without issue, and the road was clear when he did it). Switched lanes every 20 seconds. Spent more time fiddling with his iPhone (which was his music source) than paying attention to the road. Smoker (you could smell it, and see the ashes on the A pillar of the car). Set the climate control to 59 degrees (I would have frozen to death if I was sitting in the front). Seemed nice, pleasant demeanor....but his driving skills.....whew!

	^ I doubt he has any reason to drive to Crystal City any more. The Bio page on his (former?) employer's web site is blank now. http://binary-consulting.com/g_mckinney.php Used to have a whole bunch of his accomplishments and how he was a motivational speaker and such... Was originally in one of the first pages of the original thread: http://slug-lines.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=11763 Maybe he was in a big hurry to clean out his desk. ------------------------- Times to beat: Horner Rd to/from Pentagon: 12 mins Without Slugs - 17 mins With slugs Dale City exit to/from 3rd St Tunnel, D.C. 18 mins (No slugs - Holiday)
