    Default And they didn't arrest him!!!

    As Joe was coming home from fishing today, he saw a group of skateboarders in the road. There was a girl skateboarder weaving in and out of the west bound lane (no sidewalks). An old guy in a Caddy came up behind her, literally 2 feet behind her, and laid on his horn. The girl got startled and fell off her skateboard and the fucker HIT her!! She flew into the ditch AND he just narrowly missed the other 3 skateboarders. AND, if it wasn't for the fact that Joe and 3 other cars saw the whole thing, the asshole would have kept going.

    Fucking bastard. The girl seems to be ok, though she's having ankle pain so most likely going to the ER for x-rays and what-not. But, Joe said that the cops that are there are writing up a shitload of tickets on the guy (and get this, HE'S pissed off that he's getting tickets and all) but they didn't arrest him for vehicular assault, wreckless driving, etc.

    WTF??

    I wanna call the police station and ask them who thought that this was just a ticketable offense? This asshat intentionally and maliciously hit a child!!!

    ARRRRRGH!

    WOW. That is downright jailtime-worthy.

    What a psycho.

    The one thing I hate more than an asshole cop is an overly lenient cop. *head to desk, repeat*

    Poor thing! I'd be startled as hell too! I'm glad Joe was there as a witness.

    Old, rich, white dude hits young skateboarder and gets away with it. That sucks. That same dude is likely bitching how lazy today's youth are because they never even go outside to play anymore and now all the kids are getting fat.

    He should have at least gotten charged with assault. I mean, what did he think would happen when he came right up on a skateboarder and blared his horn, anyway?


    I feel lucky that my city requires sidewalks and bike lanes on all main roads and in the majority of neighborhoods, too.

    Ugh, that's awful! If there are no sidewalks, the skateboarder has nowhere else to go. The police should be watching out for people's safety, not "punishing" that jackass with some tickets. That's just a slap on the wrist and I'm sure he will probably continue his dangerous behavior since he didn't get arrested

    what an asshole!

    I know in some states pulling that shit, getting behind a boarder/cyclists and leaning on the horn is illegal.

    I think some people view skateboarders/longboarders as young punks and the guy probably actually felt justified doing what he did. My boyfriend's best friend was recently hit by an old dude in a car, who just drove off. And the cops didn't even try to look for the guy! They guys had the make and model of the car and everything.

    I obviously think he should have been arrested but I also think those kids shouldnt have been in the road. Im sorry, there are many places to skateboard other than in the middle of the road. I swear kids do that shit on purpose. They think theyre invincible. This girl just learned shes not.

    I was going down the road the other day where its 45MPH and a kid on a board was in the middle of my lane - I didnt even see him because I was coming around a corner and almost hit him. I was pissed.

    What this guy did was wrong and considering what he did he should have been arrested. But I also hope those kids learned a lesson about being inconsiderate brats.

    That's pretty sick. You CAN complain to get stronger charges pressed. You can contact the other witnesses and the press at the neighborhood and city level and shine a serious spotlight on the police department. You can contact a politico up for re-election (especially at a Q and A event) to get action.

    What a jackass...

    Although... while I would never do what he did, I also HATE when people skateboard/bike on roads and obviously don't give cars any concideration.

    Just want to point out that just because the guy wasn't arrested right then doesn't mean he won't be charged with other crimes. Depends on how the police write up the reports and what the prosecutor decides to do about it.

    'Assault with a deadly weapon' is what he did, but who knows what deal they'll work out, like having him plead guilty to a lesser charge. That's a very serious crime though, with some solid intent, and they ought to nail him for it.

    I just wanted to state that while I believe that the kids should have been more cautious, the fact is, in our area, it's unincorporated...so no sidewalks. The kids around here have to ride their bikes, skateboards, etc for a few miles before they hit the pedestrian walks...which is what these kids were doing. This girl, while doing something foolishly did not deserve to be hit like that and that old man should have gotten the crap beaten out of him.

    Jester, this girl was in the road, however, the driver sped up to her, laid on the horn and then hit her. According to Joe, this girl moved out of the way for another car that was coming (slowly and cautiously). The guy who hit her just had a tree up his ass. But now that I have his license plate, make of car, and his description, I'll be extra alert for him. I walk every day with my kids (while my daughter rides her bike) and this just pisses me off. There is no excuse for this. This was a CAR against a PEDESTRIAN.

    If I was that girl's parents, I would sue him.

    I called the police department, he's in deep shit. He didn't get arrested (as jannisary mentioned) but he's getting hit with a ton of bricks. Good. Serves him right.

    Just wait till her parents get ahold of the guy. Some one hits my kids, I'll go after them for every last penny they, INCLUDING retirement and social security.

    Yes it would have been better if the guy was arrested right then, thrown in jail and probably have to wait till Monday to have bail set and get out.

    Like I said earlier though, just because he wasn't dragged off in handcuffs right then doesn't mean he isn't facing some serious charges.

    I've seen several instances where nobody was arrested at the scene but were later charged by the State's Attorney office for real serious shit. It always makes me chuckle when I hear guys talking about how they got away with this or that just because the officers didn't arrest them right then. No arrest doesn't equal getting away with it.

    Sometimes it takes awhile. Around here the county prosecutor makes use of grand juries a lot instead of charging someone and then having to have a probably cause hearing. So it may be couple weeks or a month or so after an incident before the police come knocking on the door.

    Cars do not own the road. Period. Bicycles, motorcycles, skateboards, and all manner of other modes of transport get pissed on to make way for the folks depending on oil. What would be really awesome is if you organized a critical mass in your neighborhood in response.

    I agree with this. I think it's all downhill for this guy. Have you considered contacting the news? It's something that they might be interested in and arousing public attention would probably make sure that this was taken care of correctly. I mean, Fox news had a whole segment yesterday on how hot it was and how there were a lot of people at the beach.. because it was hot. Seriously, make their day.
