I will not go to jail for giving a slow walker a lesson in manners.

No post card for you.

I don’t fear pansy-ass wieners who can only influence others by impeding them in traffic because they have no other source of power in their life.

As to the road rage that is a trait of lesser men than me. If you suffer from this malady get help.

But a quick question. . .after you speak plainly about hitting people with your car (just to show how tough you are). . .how can you possibly state with certainty “I will not go to jail for giving a slow walker a lesson in manners” Clearly, hitting a pedestrian with your car is unmannerly and, unmanly.

Thing is, last year while crossing a street in Arlington, VA, the Plantar Fascia in my right foot “sprung,” meaning it tore, shredded many strands. I could not hobble as I could not put any weight on the foot at all. I was stuck, standing upright in the crosswalk, unable to move. Eventually pedestrians crossed from the other side and I waited until they drew near and asked if they could help me. As I explained what happened and asked for help, the light changed. It must have looked to the driver of the car that drove up that we were just chatting. Apparently the driver of that car was not you because if it WAS you, you would have hit us with your car, you know, to teach us “manners.” And would have been right and legal to do so. . .in your mind.

At any rate, the driver that drove up started to blow the horn and had sped to mere inches from me and the Samaritan as we hobbled to the sidewalk.

Now, slow walkers are a darned nuisance, for sure (even been on the Metro in DC during tourist season?), but being a bully does not speak well of the bully and in fact makes people laugh at them.

Tough talk on the internet makes one laugh as well.
