“he was David A. Bono, a partner in the high-end law firm Harkins Cunningham.”
When I started reading I was like oh this Bono guy must have helped out Novak that day so Bob was giving him a shout out in the article. Then as I read, Bob did give him a shout out...to show that Bono was an a-hole. Not to mention the Joe & Valarie quote at the end.
It was nice to hear that others in Washington were very kind and helpful.
No doubt old slip n' fall Bob saw a payday coming.
I’m not sure but what I might have been just as belligerent with someone who had just struck a pedestrian with his car and continued on as though nothing had happened. The shock of seeing some struck by a car, then the person not stopping, having to chase them down and then jump in front of the car to stop the driver would make me pretty insistent when I finally talked to the driver. From the witnesses point of view this was a clear cut case of hit and run. Sadly, it happens all the time, people hit a pedestrian or bike rider and flee the scene on purpose.
I think I would be inclined to cut the witness a bit of slack.
