I do believe if I saw this happening I would lose my cool and do something very painful to the <bleep>


There's got to be reason / story behind this... I'm guessing the guy with the hummer deserved it. He's obviously paranoid enough to get a surveillance system. This would be a good advertisement for the company that makes these systems

Regardless, I would hunt down that MF....

Edit:

I'm glad the old man had the class to come forward.

Either that or since this was recorded in September 2008 when gas was over $4.00/Gallon, this was "Mr. Green's" lame attempt at saving the planet.

If the Hummer was parked in a handicap spot, that is still no excuse to vandalize. Simply report the car in the store and let the cops issue a ticket. The guy who keyed the car didn't look too handicapped either. What a tool!

I just read the follow-up posting that indicated this guy turned himself in after his mug was displayed all over the net/TV. He blames his act on "financial stressors" (Gas prices?) that caused him to target Hummers. What I find interesting is that the Hummer was parked in a high school lot. WTF is this guy doing in a high school lot except targeting Hummers?!

They also mention that dozens of Hummer owners have now come forward with claims of similar vandalism because the "X" markings were similar. The repair estimate is a little over $2K so that at least $24K in damages potentially caused by this tool! Talk about "financial stessors"!

His little "X" marks have come back to bite him in his ***! The "Zorro" of his self-delusioned rightious mentality. Get a frickin' life loser!

Golf ball?
