If you had read Harold’s post a few weeks ago, you know of the issues we’ve had with a local homeless guy, who is not all there.
Since then, Harold has gotten me my mace and I make sure I have easy access to it when riding.
I rode into to work Saturday and guess who I saw? That same sorry SOB. I saw him about 20yds out. I slowed down, got my mace ready and saw him do the same shit. Instead of riding on the his right, he moved to my right, and then started to tuck his head down and aimed for me when he was about 5-10 yds out I yelled “You try to run me off the road one more time motherf****r and I will mace your sorry ass!!!!”
His head came up real fast, stared at me, and put is hand out as if to say okay and moved away from me. I called Harold when I got to work, he was pissed off. He called the cops and they sent an officer out to talk to Harold. This one actually took a report and filed it. He knew exactly who we talking about.
The officer said he couldn’t arrest him but next time I shouldn’t even warn him, just mace him.
Harold talked to our lawyer he did say that the officer was incorrect, because when he aims for me and even when he misses it is assault.
So next time, that mother is going down. We’ve warned him and I’ve warned him by myself, so now he is free game. We haven’t done a damn thing to him and yet he keeps trying to run me off the sidewalk. He must have a thing for female bikers, cuz he sure in heck hasn’t tried it to Harold.
I was so aggravated and depressed Saturday that it actually helped me that I yelled and stood up to him. It got some of my aggression out……which I may get into later.
It was busy as heck at work that night, but we still got a lot accomplished so that was cool.
