Sorry about the title. Can someone edit out the “posted” part?

Thanks.

Kauffman tried to drive past them and someone threw a brick in his window. Kauffman stopped his car and got out to see what happened.

Idiot.

I’d always wondered whether Andy was really dead.

He’s a bit older than 29, though, isn’t he?

All I can say is get a permit to carry.

...more than two dozen men wearing ball caps and baggy shorts...

Well, that narrows it down. /s

Racial descriptions please. After all, we don’t want imply that any particular racial group was involved. Perhaps this was a radical Tasmanian gang or a abunch of drunken Tibetan monks on the prowl!

Welcome to what it’s like to live in a Third World country. In Guatemala, Columbia, etc., this is very common (or at least was when I had friends living there). Except it didn’t take so many thugs. A few with a gun at a stop light and the driver was left standing there (if he was lucky) while the thugs sped off in his vehicle.

My cars have after-market mob-deterrent systems.

They consists of the following:

1) One (1) Loaded, 5-shot .357 magnum revolver.
2) One (1) Loaded 7-shot .45 ACP Semi-Automatic Pistol with (minimum) one (1) spare, loaded, magazine.

I do, of course, utilize several variants to this system, and there is sometimes even a couple of “surprises” available for the potential mob.

Strangely, a mob has never attacked me anywhere I have driven. Coincidence? Perhaps...

“two dozen men wearing ball caps and baggy shorts”

Hip-hop rage!

According to Osama/Bama....A nationwide crack down on baggy pants and the ability to give each indivual a good talking too, would have resolved this issue before it started.

Brick hits window. Get on the gas, and stay on the gas until you get to the next county. The vehicle is a weapon, too, if you will use it as one.

Was the reference to "wearing baggy pants" a code indication that these "yoots" were black? If you are looking for suspects, it makes sense to say "young black males" if that's who the attackers were. I doubt they were elderly white females (as in the Monty Python sketch about "Killer Grannies").

The accelerator is there for a reason. Use it.

"...when more than two dozen men wearing ball caps and baggy shorts spread out across the street and blocked traffic.

Sounds bizzare. Any info on what sort of "men wearing ball caps" these were, their motive, or how they came to be associated with each other to be doing this sort of crap?

[popdonnelly]

“someone threw a brick in his window.”

Why’d he do that?

[Little Ray]

The stupid part was getting out. When they threw a brick through his window, he should have accelerated - right over anyone any his way.

WARREN, Mich. -- on North River Road

Lousy reporting! North River Rd. is in Mt. Clemens........and I suspect the incident probaby occured in the area between Gratiot and the Gibraltar Trade Center close to downtown Mt. Clemens.
