A night before a driver pinned Igor Kruk's motorcycle to the back of a sport utility vehicle with his car, killing Kruk in what police are calling a fit of road rage, Kruk had a dream his bike was in pieces on the ground and that he was unable to put it together, his family said yesterday.

Hi All-

This criminal maniac named Patrick DeJean needs to spend the rest of his life in prison...in absence of the death penalty. What an incredibly violent person. Be careful on your motorcycles out there.

This guy had already served time for intentionally running someone over, and he was still allowed to have a driver's license?

NYS still mollycoddles crooks.

Hi M_F:

This article will probably be of interest to you.

You can say that again! A driver's license is just the beginning...one has to wonder why he is out and about after informing society years ago that he's unfit to be with us.

The kid's buddy and the other guy who caught the perp should not have left much for the police to arrest, IMO. Their "rage" would have been understandable. What a sad story.

Better message: Be polite and courteous when driving as there are crazy people out there and you should not provoke them.

Anti-Bureaucrat Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!

You know, if Mohammed Atta had still been alive after 9-11, the ACLU would have teamed up with some of these cretins to insist that his pilot's license be reinstated.

The article says New York State took away his driver's license, but he got one in Pennsylvania.

We need car control, to go along with the Samauri Sword control from another thread.

If someone is going to kill me, I'd rather they shoot me in the head than do what this guy did.

[HEY4QDEMS]

My blood is boiling after reading this.

[mtbopfuyn]

described him as a soft-tempered father of three children who works as an accountant.

The worst ones are always described this way.

I hope some bikers in prison read this article and get some daily "up close and personal" time with this scumbag DeJean.

[libstripper]

I cna't see this being a second degree murder, like killing somebody ih the course of a robbery. Here the bikers passed him and he deliberately decided to run them down and kill one or both. There was clear premeditation in his decisioin to run them down and kill one or the other.

[paddles]

Just like Lizzie Grubman, that little rich society gal who backed her SUV into a crowd because she was angry.

Slap on the wrist and now she's a celeb.

[reallygone]

Looks like a hate-crime to me!

[spunkets]

Criminal maniac is right.

"Four years before, in July 2001, DeJean ran over his then-girlfriend, Michelle Bond, with a car after she refused to lend him money, police said. He pleaded guilty to the charge. Police said he served jail time,"

Obviously not enough jail time. If he did get out it would be close to when Kruk would be retiring.

If only he had videotaped a couple of movies in a movie theater and uploaded them to the Internet, he might have done eight years in jail. Something is fundamentally wrong with our justice system when we punish white collar crime and intellectual property rights violations more seriously than violent crime. I'm not saying that white collar crime or IP theft isn't wrong or criminal. What I'm saying is who decided that they deserve more jail time than running someone over or raping someone? Perhaps violent crime victims should hire some lobbyists.

[Disambiguator]

Maybe he just saw the movie "Duel" and related well to the truck driver.

What piece of $#!+.

"I say we stomp him, then we tattoo him, then we hang him, THEN we kill him!"
