Road Zimmerman takes out biker

[FunFordCobra]

Assault with a MV with intent to kill. 5-10 yrs.
I'd love to see this in court.

The bee stung the spider, and that caused the spider to bite the old guy like hell. I'm also hearing reports the bee had crabs which irritated him to the point of stinging the spider he had no prior dealings with.

on the tendon... you get that? the spider bit him on the tendon...

Just saw a new story from FB and apparently it's no longer a wasp that stung him, but a spider bite.

William Crum, 68, of Granbury, has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for the incident, which happened Saturday, Oct. 17 about 5 miles north of Granbury and was caught on camera by Brian Fisher, another motorcycle rider traveling behind Crum.

How can anyone with half a brain claim that the biker was even partially at fault for that accident? Since when does passing over a solid or double line do anything to cause another car to swerve out of their lane to the left? I mean, if he was passing the old man and it freaked the old man out and he swerved AWAY from the bike, then maybe, and a very longshot maybe, you could put some kind of blame on the biker for an accident happening.

Just because the biker did something illegal doesn't mean he is in any way responsible for the accident. It only happened because the old man was a fucking piece of shit maniac. That's it. I hope he gets raped in prison.

Some laws should not be treated the same for certain bikes. Most Harleys need not apply. Those who have never been on or understand what it's like to be on a bike should picture themselves in their car surrounded by loaded 18-wheelers with drivers clumsily weaving in and out of lanes while pecking on a cell phone.

Didn't they both technically cross the double yellow?

[Cooter]

I'm not condoning what the guy did in any way what so ever. I think he was wrong is attempting some BS vigilante justice. However, I do think a big part of the responsibility lies on the bikers shoulders as well. If he wasn't passing in a no passing zone none of this would have even happened. Just because you're able to get by safely doesn't mean that you can skirt the law to do so.

If the old man had died in his sleep the night before, none of this would have even happened.

And yes, if you're able to pass illegally in a safe manner, it does mean that you can skirt the law to do so. It doesn't mean that you're allowed to, but it certainly doesn't mean that you can't.

did you pee on your sting?

Nah, vinegar for the sting, followed by everclear and absinthe for the pain. I've never gotten shit faced so quickly before.

[Chili]

I think his intention was to scare them and he accidentally hit them, then he was thinking fast for an excuse as to why he would swerve.

Yeah, this has been my opinion all along.

did you pee on your sting?

I peed on your face that time you passed out drunk at that party.

No excuse, imo. Getting stung don't hurt that fuckin bad. Definitely not enough for him to risk death by whipping over to the wrong lane in a panic, which would mean that he wasn't even looking at what was going on over there before he did it. He acts like the be was about the same size has he was and it punched him in the face a few times as well.

I was driving on a mountain road in colorado with the windows down. A bumblebee that was the size of a ping pong ball flew in the widow, hit the back glass and started making his way toward me. I still managed to keep control of the truck and safely stop.

I also got stung by a jellyfish earlier this year, which hurt 10 times worse than any wasp. I still had the composure to calmly exit the water. Then I screamed and cussed like a crazy person, but damn it, I was calm while I was in the water.

Final point, I've owned several MN12 based cars and they're extremely stable on dry pavement, it would take a serious yank on the wheel to slide the ass end out like that.

If I was driving the car and got stung or something along those lines, the sting would have been the last thing on my mind after the impact, I would have pulled over and jumped out, run to the people that I hit and tried to help them.
