This asshole should feel lucky the cyclist didn't beat him to within an inch of his life but this is down in Colorady Springs where there are more nutters per capita than most places.
The bike, however, wasn't his son's, the blotter said.
The victim, fearing he was going to be assaulted again, punched Hombs in the face.
I spent a Labor Day weekend in Colorado Springs one year, didn't come across any nutters, but I went to The State Fair in Peublo. WOW. All the head cases migrated there for a day. Still enjoyed it though.
ReplyDeletePortland is the center of the bicycling universe in the U.S. and the dead and damaged are piling up. Friday a guy backed up at an estimated 40 mph and hit a rider he'd had a disagreement with. I think we have an incident a week now and the joke is, of course, from the car people: even if you're in the right run away from them because they have a car and may go ballistic again. In other words, my road rage, right or wrong, wins. Says alot about our "auto entitlement" culture.
ReplyDeleteHolte-I unintentionally mislead about the Springs because of what is there. There is a active and powerful contingent of progressives there it's just that they are outnumbered.
ReplyDeleteI go to Pueblo once in a while when I'm at the ranch and actually went to the fair last year for a bit. The paper sure is a winger for sure but how the people turned out the two times Obama was in town.
