Road rage victim run down 'like an animal'

What I would like to know what get him the most time away from people. They are charging him with " first-degree assault" how about attempted murder, hit and run. If this had been at night with no one in the parking lot to see it happen that woman would probably died from the lose of blood.

What is that "Dropping Objects on Vehicles"?

Man just read all the post and can't believe some of the posts. He chased a woman on foot, over a curb and on the grass and hit her so hard as to smash his windshield and have her fly over the top of the car and hit the ground behind him. And some of you are saying it's justified. I would hate to meet you on the road.

There's a little piece missing from this. If he cut her off as the article says, how was he then behind her to ram her? Did she veer up around him to then cut him off? I'm just trying to visualize the incident as it led into the parking lot.
Both these people are in a world of hurt right now because of road rage. What is it about climbing behind the wheel of a car that turns some normally very nice people into maniacs?

ZenBirdist....to borrow a quote "God made man, Samuel Colt made them equal".

An obscure reference to fire arms......but it can be said that the same applies to vehicles.

People tend to get bigger and braver behind the wheel of a few tons of moving metal....sad, but true.

In his mug shot he does look a little over the edge when it comes
to maybe having some mental stability, in other words he looks
quite flaky.

Hook him up to the woman's bumper and take the guy for a drag.

BUSHES FAULT

Very true, I'm afraid. Is throwing stuff out of cars at other cars getting to be a common thing? What are the odds that a guy who does this would tick off a girl who does this, which then sends him right over the edge. Talk about being able to dish it out but not being able to take it. When the young lady is fully recovered and the young man is out of prison, they should team up and talk to driver's ed students about road rage.

Had any of the three people involved in this scenario been raised right this wouldn't have happened. (him, her and her chapstick throwing passenger)

This is attempted murder, he deserves to rot in the slammer

Yesterday, I turned off a main road and a guy pulled out of a gas station and pulled across the street IN front of me, slowed down, and had the gall to give me the finger as he did so. Then the female in his vehicle had the gall to turn and give me the finger too. People wonder why they get hurt...they aren't smart enough to realize they were the aholes in the 1st place

Yes, these people were trash and unintelligent but they represent whats wrong with the world today. A clear representation.

How funny.....My first stereotypical, racist, profiling insult.
And all this time I thought it was a hormone imbalance.

haha. It can only be racial or profiling if its anyone other than a white person, where have you been? Shockingly, I think there are millions of people in society in this day and age...children never receive discipline. Criminals get light or no sentances,if someone does something wrong, the idiot PC crowd comes out in force to blame society or whatever instead of the individual. Teachers and police are sued for just about anything these days...look at the rocks-in-the-head, feel good liberals who are aghast that some of us think it is ok for a policeman to question a Mexican to inquire if he/she is legal or not. Being a Christian or patriotic has somehow become bad. In WA. state last year they put up the traditional Christmas tree and a group then wanted an athiest tree. The sheer, utter inane madness of all this...the society cancer known as liberalism.

Am I missing something here? If the guy "cut her off" in traffic, doesn't that mean he passed her and pulled in front of her? How, then, was he ramming the back of her car and how did she get ahead of him and into the school parking lot?? I am confused!

I've been saying it over and over again, criminal tendencies run in only 5-10% of society, we need to determine who's who using some sort of neurological technology or through previous actions. Once we have determined who the criminals are, line then up one by one and kill them. Starting with this one, 1 down 30 million left to kill.

Not so sure this is the same guy. He is like 21? This record is from 1988? They both seem to have some anger issues. She was drinking before the incident. Hopefully they did a tox screen on here upon admission. She certainly didn't deserve to be run down, but shouldn't have been driving after drinking either. That obviously added to her initial reaction.

"Babcook, John Thomas Mugshot of John Thomas Babcook, 21 (dob 11/30/88) of Centerville."
BTW, DOB short for date of birth. YW

How am I clueless? Just curious? Anyone who would agree with this troll needs to crawl back under with him.

I know what you're saying.

He looks a little scared in the mugshot. I guess I would be to if I was looking forward to a whole new lifestyle. I don't care what the others did no one deserves to be run down by a car

Was the above comment bigoted or racist? Or both? Or was it racial profiling? I'm confused!

Kind of hard to tell but definately not intelligent or well thought out.

Oh yeah. Got what she asked for? You will probably be one of the next ones in jail for doing something stupid with that reasoning.

I think Minnesota Nice has the idea that "Minnesota Nice" is just a veneer. All nicey on the outside, but underneath......... It doesn't matter you nationality. As a nation we are getting so self serving and self centered. It is all about ME! We need to put others first, start helping, understanding others situations, we all need money, work, love, etc...
