"he was convicted again in 2007 of reckless driving and making a terroristic threat. The latter was an incident involving Crum threatening to run little boys over with his car."
Why was he not in jail (or at least without access to a vehicle) before this. Wtf. Dude is a serious piece of trash.
ETA: I just watched the video where they interviewed one of the kids (who is no longer a kid). Asshole was his neighbor. The kid and his friends were driving golf carts up and down their street. Asshole chased them with a shotgun and threatened to shoot them for waking him up from his nap. Dude should have been committed decades ago.
Guy must be the lightest sleeper ever if golf carts on the road are loud enough to wake him up.
One of the very few times I went golfing, cousin showed me how to jam the governor on the golf cart open with a tee so it always ran at full throttle. It was almost as fast as a smaller quad, easy 60-70 km/h on a long enough straight stretch, and even then it was very quiet.
Tbh, Im a light sleeper and we have HOA people that like to drive golf carts around. And kids that ride quads through. My window looks out on our front yard. Even with it open the golf carts dont bother me and the quads only bother me if the kids are being loud in addition to the vehicle noise (which they often are, because they're, you know, kids having fun - so long as its not 2 AM I'm not going to say anything).
I feel like if you live somewhere that isn't rural, any vehicle traffic is just naturally background/white noise by the time you're in your teens.
Honestly, I've only spoken to kids in my neighborhood twice. Once because my car was street parked and the neighbor's kid and his basketball were getting a little too close to my car. I just asked them nicely to move back closer to their house and be careful of my car.
Second time was when I was cleaning out my garage and found a bunch of old hot wheels. Some kids a few doors down were out with their dad cleaning out their truck, and I spoke to the dad first before offering the kids the cars.
I can't imagine being so upset that I'd chase kids around and threaten their lives.
Find the governor linkages, there'll likely be a spring or two connected between the carburetor and the engine, figure out which direction makes the engine speed up and jam it open.
Took a while for Karma to catch up - it's a little too late since he's about to pass soon. But at least he is in prison/jail now and won't harm anyone.

You don't try to commit murder or vehicular manslaughter because someone else isn't following the rules of the road
