"Sheriff Mike Tregre said a surveillance video of the incident shows the suspect 'bumrushed" the home owner."

Just curious how this is different from "he rushed the homeowner." If you bumrush someone, are you a bum? Or is the person you rush a bum? Can a wealthy man bumrush someone?

I need more sleep.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

“Bum Rushing” means a sudden attack with no fighting skill; just a wild charge. I picture someone with arms flailing or held out in front but with no efficient movement. That would be different than, say a bayonet charge with the trained soldier rushing with rifle at the ready.
