(7,286 posts)These people were out with their horses recently at night, and this 20- something male came carooming down the road real fast and almost hit them. So the one lady lost her temper and yelled at him 'slow down you stupid....(you know what)' She admitted to the 911 operator and cops she said it. The reason for the 911 call: the guy spun his car around and rammed into her on her horse killing the horse and she rolled onto his hood and broke her collarbone. She ran and hid in the woods, he turned around and came looking for her and sped off.
Am guessing this is not the appropriate response to be called that name. The guy has been arrested but there is a bit of discord about it.

(17,997 posts)And these brought me to tears. I would have had to have hit the woman at the dollar store.
I remember the first one. It was awesome.
No excuse. And I love how each person in these responded to the attacks.
Thank you for posting.

(2,065 posts)yet but will be soon enough, and i agree with you, it's not ok! I condemn all people who act in a despicable manner, even when they're in my demographic. Despicable behavior is despicable behavior.
