What the hell is wrong with people?

LUTZ, Fla. (WFLA) – A 31-year-old Land O’ Lakes man is facing a variety of charges following a serious crash Monday near the intersection of US 41 and County Line Road in Lutz.

Robert Vance is being held without bond at the Pasco County Jail. He is facing one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, one count of leaving the scene of a crash involving injury and one count of operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver’s license. Florida Highway Patrol says Vance is classified as a habitual traffic offender.

Witnesses say Vance drove his vehicle over a motorcycle carrying a man and woman before fleeing.

Just moments before the incident, the suspect exchanged words with the driver of the motorcycle – identified as Joseph Philipp Calderazzo – and his passenger, Melanie Ann Milinkovich.
 
One witness shot video on his cellphone that clearly shows Calderazzo and Milinkovich being knocked from the motorcycle as Vance drives into it.

Abe Garcia shared the video with News Channel 8. He says the people on the bikes are veterans and for this incident to happen on Memorial Day is a shame.

Fortunately the motorcyclists were not seriously injured, suffering a few minor scrapes and bruises, and were treated at the scene.

Getting into an argument with a car driver is not a good thing to do. Car vs. MC car never wins. Hope they hang the SOB.

It's 2016.  Once upon a time the guy would have been thrown in jail and the key buried.  He obviously has issues, and he's the sort of person who shouldn't be permitted to drive, own a firearm, vote, or reproduce.  But the morally bereft morons upon whom we rely to dictate political correctness to us have discovered, through their infinite wisdom, that people like him are entitled to go through life without being offended, without being subjected to harassment by law enforcement solely for the sake of revenue generation, and without having their delicate sensitivities upset in any way.  It's a better way of life for us all, and as soon as we grow up and acknowledge that those bikers paid an insignificant price to preserve that guy's self esteem and respect, we will all be better examples of humanity.  After all, the guy certainly wouldn't have run over that motorcycle without having been intensely and wrongfully provoked by that scooter trash and his nasty old 'ho, right?

Attempted murder sounds like a charge that should stick if the dirt bag is tried before a jury of people who have their heads screwed on straight. The picture from the news video of the guy in jail garb was telling. I've seen that look before in the eyes of people on trial for murder. I just hope the charges weren't elevated for publicity's sake, with the intention of eventually entering into a plea bargain. Some one ought to follow the case and report on the final outcome.

It happened in Florida.  Their laws are not ours.  In Texas it would be much easier to make a charge of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon than Attempted Murder.  It would be fairly easy to shoot down the 'intent to cause serious bodily injury or death' for a defendant who was in a chemically altered state of consciousness.  Just sayin.........

Jim, you're undoubtedly right. You've certainly handled enough cases of all sorts to predict what would most likely succeed and what wouldn't. Still, in my eyes, the facts as the video presents them speak for themselves. But then again, as a motorcyclist, I may react to the video very differently than would the typical juror (who has probably never ridden a bike).

Be careful out there folks, I had two people pull right out in front of my yesterday, leaving Serious Cigar and a woman at the car wash looked right at me, I made eye contact with her and she proceeded to pull out in front of me, if I didn't have a lane to move to she would have hit me for sure.  :ohwow: :ohwow: :ohwow: Then on Cutten RD same thing only a guy on his cell, got to watch out for yourself.  :redcard:
