“Had enough?” the much younger attacker asked the victim after pummeling him for more than a minute, deputies said. The victim, who was not identified, sustained multiple face fractures and several lacerations requiring many stitches in the Friday evening attack in East Bethel. AmyJane Johnson, of St. Paul, Minn., identified herself on Facebook as the victim’s daughter-in-law and said he was 71.

So, now a seasoned-citizen is another ‘protected class’??

Sorry, but in this State of blue hairs, I’ve seem WAY too many SS whom shouldn’t even be on the road, let alone behind the wheel. Under the min. safe speeds, weaving, can’t see over the dash, HUGE car weaving and deteriorated sight/reflexes...

The idea of ‘perpetual license’, IMO, is just asinine. Insurance should go UP as one ages like the new drivers.

LOL, way too large. I have a HaveAHeart trap, and it is too small, so I borrowed a bigger one, and he is too wily to go into it. (although I did catch a smaller one a few years back. I was told it is illegal in my stupid state to move them after trapping, but to me, that is a law made to be broken.

I took it about five miles away to an area where they have community plots where the Lefties grow their little crops, and let him loose near there! Probably living the life of Riley since then...:)

And maybe get some pissed off hippies too!

It is long past time to start prosecuting aggressive drivers—especially tailgaters—for terroristic threats and attempted homicide.

Aren’t road rage beatings, etc. pre-meditated incidences?

I agree. At 70 my mind says yes I can but the link to my once capable body has been hacked and overtaken by age. Thank God my trigger finger still works as will the cane or walking stick I might be carrying. Hang tuff, my FRiends. mc

“That’s likely to increase road rage incidents, since self-driving cars obey any and all traffic laws exactly.”

Sounds like a argument to accelerate adoption of AV

The thug who beat him needs to go to prison for attempted murder or at least for battery with grievous bodily harm (or whatever they call it in that state).

Why not use a rat trap? Or is it too large?

Havahart makes live traps in larger sizes. I've used the smaller one to trap attic squirrels. Once you've caught it you can drown it, shoot it, relocate it, whatever. The slingshot might only result in an injured animal, not a kill.

They exchanged heated words until the other driver used an anti-gay epithet.

Is Hackman a homo? Or was he just pissed at the other guy calling him one? Or both?

Oh, he’s too wily for the trap? Try a different bait...peanut butter works on most other rodents.
