The Devil A white man had the audacity to drive from Florida to his home in Massachusetts, with his wife.

He was driving a Porsche and hauling a boat.  The news didn’t say what kind of Porsche, but I’m going to guess a Cayenne, I don’t think anybody is going to haul a boat with a 911.

He stopped for gas in Caroline County, Virginia, where a presumed Bernie/#BLM supporter decided to opine on his materialistic white privilege… with a hammer.

“This lady was a couple pumps over and talking to me and yelling at somebody about having a message for her. I had no idea what she was talking about,” Bob said. “I was coming around the side of the car and next thing I know a car blocks me in. She comes out of her car gets in my face and yelling at me about some sort of message I got for her.”

He said he attempted to ignore her, but she eventually threatened to put a hole in his “fancy boat.” That’s when, Bob said, the woman grabbed a hammer.  “She actually took a hammer and she hit his vehicle and the boat,” Sheriff Lippa said.

“There were some racial slurs directed at her [Bob’s wife], at which time the accused spit in [Bob’s wife’s] face,” Sheriff Lippa said. “According to the victim, there were racial slurs that were yelled at [Bob’s wife] before [Jones] spit at her and that’s what we’re looking into as far as it being a hate crime.”

During the attack, the couple said the woman said she was “sick of fancy white people.”  

Bad situation.  I get that.

Here is where it gets worse.

“She actually clawed him. He took her down to the ground to prevent her from doing any more damage.”

“I let her go and she grabbed the hammer again and hit the boat again,” Bob said. “[The hammer] broke. That’s when she figured out she better get out of there because she didn’t have a weapon anymore.”

Crazy woman is beating up the guy’s SUV and boat with a hammer, and he decides he’s going to protect his stuff by wrestling her.

NO!  It’s just stuff.  She has a hammer.

I don’t know if it was dumb luck or God’s will, but what that woman picked the hammer back up, she went back to hitting the boat instead of hitting Bob in the skull.

Bob was risking death over some, probably well insured, stuff.

He didn’t come out looking to good from his wrestling match, either.

Bob is on his way to the hospital.

I have a $500 deductible on my car insurance and a $2500 deductible on my health insurance.

If I sat in my car and let a crazy woman wail on it with a hammer, I’m out $500.  If I get out of my car and take a whack to the face that requires an ER visit, I’m out at least $2500.  If I get out of my car and take a whack to the head with that hammer, my family is using my life insurance to bury me.

I’m gonna stay put in my car and call 911.

Actually, I drive a Chevy truck, so I’m going to ram the shit out of her car and make a getaway, but let’s assume that I’m blocked in.

If Crazy Woman tries to come through the window at me, that’s a different situation.  Now it’s $500 for the car and $25 for another box of Golden Saber.

Remember, if you get out and shoot her for only smashing your tail lights, it’s not a good shoot.  I don’t want to begin to do the math on how much a murder trial will cost.

Bob here didn’t do the math and took a risk to protect his stuff and paid a price in blood.  He’s lucky he’s not dead.  Of course, being from Massachusetts, he is guaranteed to be unarmed, making his options even more limited.  More reason to get back in his car and call 911 or try to flee.

Remember, it’s just stuff.  If can be replaced.  It’s not worth fighting an armed, violent person over something Geico will make whole again.  It’s cheaper and easier to fix a tail light than a skull.
