Road-rager: I thought the car I was ramming was dad's
A 30-year-old man who rammed a woman's vehicle with his SUV says: "I thought it was my dad that I was ramming and that is why I was doing it. I didn't know it was someone else." He declined to say any more to a detective about the incident, and no explanation is given in court records about why the guy might have been after his father.

holy crap that is terrifying
"The SUV driver zoomed past her, ran a stop sign and then turned around and raced back toward Belongea's vehicle head on, causing her to hit the brakes. She drove backward for a moment, and when the SUV driver pulled up alongside, she threw the car into drive and tried to speed away, police said.
The SUV driver turned around again and caught up to her on Sunset Drive, where he rammed into the back of her Ford Focus wagon. The SUV struck her a couple of more times before she was able to get her cell phone and call 911, police said."

That must have been one manly looking woman or he was on a really good trip or his god told him to do it.
Yes, I had to make it a religious thread because it is Friday and Fridays are for bashing religious people.

"first-degree recklessly endangering safety, a felony, and hit-and-run, a misdemeanor...Waukesha police also issued Litt a municipal citation for operating while intoxicated"
what about attempted murder? or assault with a deadly weapon?

I'm thinking there was more than just .23 involved here. Drugs maybe or this guy is suffering from a mental disorder. Maybe from years of abuse from his father? Who knows. But the guy is nuts.
When my kids were little...I had a ford taurus wagon,
loved that car, I was going down a local freeway with
all 3 of my kids in the car...they were small..one was still in a car seat, and some moron in a van decided I'd cut him off..which I had NOT...I used my turn signal and changed lanes probably 3 car lengths ahead of him...but he started speeding
to catch up to me, then he veared his van into my lane trying to hit my car, there was a bunch of traffic around us.. when he missed me he got behind me and tried to hit me from behind...i sped up and finally was able to get away from the nut case, but it scared the living hell out of me. Its an awful feeling!

The guy qualifies for a good old-fashioned Southern Bumper Pull utilizing his testicles.

Hopefully he'll get rammed many times when they send him to prison.

So ramming his DAD is justified in what qualifies as this guy's brain?
I would have been scared to death if I'd been in that woman's shoes. Or rather, I would have been crapping in my shoes.

JUST ANOTHER FAMILY SQUABBLE GONE BAD I GUESS.

In this instance, I would have completely cheered if someone with a concealed-carry would have meted out a little "Texas justice" in the poor woman's defense.
I have issues with my dad, but I'll get my revenge when the bastard dies a horrible, painful death with few people to mourn his passing. Anyone with that much aggression towards anyone, and especially a relative, probably won't benefit much by therapy.
Plus, I have special ultra-evil reserved for people who drive intoxicated. I'd like to waterboard and/or bitchslap them all until my arms go numb.

I've seen those same eyes in some of the patients we had when I still worked in a hospital. That look says "I haven't been taking my lithium." It's almost unmistakable.

Wolf...kinda......but his eyes need a more glassy/hateful tint to them.
Right now his eyes look downright purdy....too bad they're not in a better looking body.

I thought that name seemed familiar, but I figured it was just me going insane. Thanks for the reminder, Jim!

The top pic looks fairly normal, but the bottom one--there's something there.
Posted by: Wolf | May 9, 2008 8:13:02 AM
Yeah, I guess I can kinda see it. Dude need to to chill out. Re-awaken. Grab a cup of coffee, take a few sips, then get out a can of tiger balm, rub it on his temples, drink some more sips of coffee and come on over to OS&RR for a few laughs.

The victim applying for "consecrated virgin"? Hmm... maybe the devil took offense and possessed the guy to attack her!

Personally, I prefer Douwe Egberts medium roast brewed by a Senseo on a daily basis. On the weekends, Gloria Jean's French Vanilla Supreme brewed by a Keurig brewer.

Maybe the little voices in his head told him that the consecrated virgin was his dad in drag!

I had forgotten the consecrated virgin story--small world! Speaking of past stories--did anyone see TODAY this morning? They had those crazies from Arkansas who have 17 kids on. Guess what--they're expecting #18. Gird that woman's uterus--it has to be big enough to drive a Mack truck into! (Sorry to go off topic).

I have to credit Waukesha Co. resident and OS&RR reader Renee C. for the consecrated virgin reminder.

Not the self-promoting Duggars again! Whoop-de-freakin'-doo. I don't see why people are making a fuss about the Duggars and their 18 kids. Nobody gave the ginormous Irish Catholic families in my old neighborhood their own TV show.
And they live in a 7,000 sqare foot house? Cut me a break! If the Duggars raised their kids under the same conditions that the families in my former hood did (i.e., dad has blue-collar job, everyone is crammed into a 3-bedroom row house, older kids left school early to work, no new clothes, kids can't have friends over because there's not enough food to go around, etc.), then I'd give them some props.

She is the ninth consecrated virgin since 1970(!). A bet more people have been struck by lightning in the archdiocese since 1970. Hell, maybe even struck twice.

No one here is looking at the real victim somewhere on some street corner this guy's father is looking for a good hit...hm must mean it is drug realated

on a side not has anyone read the book Rant by Chuck Palahniuk (you know the guy that wrote the book Fight Club)? this really reminds me of party crashing.

Re-constituted virgin??
So much for recycling.
Posted by: A.V. | May 9, 2008 10:52:36 AM
The Duggars scare me. They truly do.
On one of their TV shows, someone asked the oldest kid if it bothered him that they all seem to dress the same and do the same things. That they don't have much room to express themselves.
He said, "Oh, that's not true. We like different foods. I like chocolate ice cream and so and so likes vanilla." OH MY GOSH!!! Diversity through dairy???
