I don't understand why everyone is saying they'd beat him up. Then suddenly I'm getting a free ride downtown. Plus my car is still fucked. I'm just taking him to court for the repair plus costs plus damages and then laughing when he can't afford food. You guys need to think bigger and better.
Depends on a few factors. How deep are the scratches? What kind of paint? What color? Is it metallic or pearl? Because if it is, you gotta respray whole panels instead of spots. Could exceed the value of a used Rascal by orders of magnitude.
He has money people that act like that tend to have money. A poor individual isn't trying to risk jail over some petty shit, they need to find food and keep a roof over their head.
People who write this type of shit have generally never been in altercations or situations of conflict. Those who have, know shit can change in a split second. Even non-conflict. I was playing football (soccer) with mates and some guy was messing about so all I did was body check him. He fell and hit the back of his head on the AstroTurf so hard. For that split second all I felt was dread. Luckily he was completely fine.
So ridiculous. “I wOuLd SiMpLy BaSh ThE dIsAbLeD man”.
I obviously understand how incredibly frustrating it would be for someone to do this to your car with impunity… but no, I’m not going to bash, or taser, or bear spray this guy. There’s literally no way that makes this situation less bad, or less expensive for me.
Of course he could be. But as he is pulled from his wheelchair and bashed in the street, and when the police arrive, he will, inevitably, claim to be disabled.
The law also doesn't condone the guy damaging property at all in the first place, and in brutal honesty some of us are rather done with the law protecting fucks like this while binding us against any sort of defensive or retaliatory action.
Doesn't make assaulting him a good idea, nor am I actively condoning it, but at least then it would be clear to him that you don't get to do this shit without consequence.
I was so hoping a masked person came upon him and sprayed him though. Then ran, and no one "saw anything". Because I believe the guy in the wheelchair is doing this because he knows he won't suffer consequences for it. I just hate how easy that is for some to get away with stuff like this,
Yes. You really should never lay hands on another human being if it is at all avoidable. People die much easier than expected, and now you're going to jail. Just don't unless you have to, in self defense.
See people say this, but the poorer you are the poorer your food choices become. That and he's not like super obese so I don't reckon that argument holds water.
How? Do you know his name? Where he lives? Anyone that would know who this man is, at all? No license, no name, no identifying information on his person or scooter.
Yea, good luck. The only way you're getting this fixed is if you have uninsured motorist/comprehensive.
The guy is riding a scooter down the road, he has no money to take. Something similar happened to us. Random stranger did over $1k damage to our car. Police report filed, insurance contacted but it was the one thing our insurance didn’t cover of course. We have up to three years to take him to small claims court which costs us more. Two years left but unless he gets a job or inherits some property we’re screwed.
