Please read this. Very important reminder to be critical of how PR firms shape our minds...

It is sickening, but it's worth reading to the end. The whole incident is on video. Strong evidence against the driver, regardless of his PR attempts.

Excellent read, thanks Grog.

This is just another case of the ongoing plague of self centered attitudes in society. Road rage, talking loudly on a cell phone in a public place, line jumping, texting while driving, cheating on tests, lying on a resume, etc. All part of the "I come first, my needs/wants/desires are all that matters," school of thought...very disturbing.

Thanks Grog for posting this. I had always wondered what exactly did happened that night. I missed most of the story in the beginning and only heard about the spin doctor's story on the news. I'm glad there was a camera that caught everything.
