Does someone really want to get arrested over assaulting someone for "cutting in gas line?" People are really going crazy with the heat and the economy. At least the victim was smart enough to stay in his car.

ReplyDeleteThe Doc was wrong for sure BUT the a$$hole cutting in front of him needs a good a$$ whipping for cutting in front of him. There is a bunch of that kind of crap going on around here as well. There is no courtesy or manners anymore.
ReplyDeleteNo, the A$$hole doesn't need a "good asswhipping"...because you don't know if it was intentional or not. You weren't there. People need to lighten up and mind their own business!! And the tire iron weilding doctor in this case needs to cool off in a jail cell.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he should have butted back out of line and then called the police.
