Angered by comment, Harley rider rips mirror off car

The Capital Times — 7/15/2009 8:05 am

A man, angry over a query made about his motorcycle from a passing car, ripped a mirror off the car and kicked a dent in it before riding off on his Harley

Yeah, I'm sure they were completely innocent in that whole incident. Too bad the rider's side of the story isn't available.

Still doesn't give him any kind of right to damage someone's property, regardless of what they did or didn't say, the tone in which they talked to him, or the attitude they did or didn't give him.

+1 If that was all it took to send this guy over the edge, he would long been locked up. Mouthy kid wrote a check with his mouth that his *** couldn't cash, so the car paid.

"wearing a black sweatshirt with angel wings on the back, jeans and boots."

Possibly a 1%er? Good way to die.

I get the feeling that the kid was probably talking more **** than the story would have you believe. I remember when I was in high school, I hated driving my friends around when they couldn't act like grown men. I would have killed my passenger if he got my car dinged up for acting like a dumbass.



Here is another thought:
The kid side swiped a mailbox or something and made up the story about "the mean ol' biker" to cover his a$$.
