Cops: Man hits motorized bike rider with shovel

Vtec-- I've never been hit by a shovel but I did have a one sided dipute with a gentleman who was carrying a pick axe handle.
My experience based on that was that perhaps,given just where you are hit you may be able to retaliate.
I was 3 years younger than you at the time and a serious weight lifter and the last thing on my mind was taking the handle away from him.
Yes we did meet up again. No he did not enjoy it. No weapons involved.

Steve.
 
There isn't enough information there to make an informed judgment. I do think it likely that the MB rider was pretty stunned by the fall, being knocked flying by a shovel weilding madman. It is noted that he remained lieing in the street when the cops arrived.

As to provocation, who knows? Believe me, there have been a whole bunch of occasions on which I have wished gross bodily harm upon riders of loud screaming 2 stroke bikes improperly muffled. Mufflers exist for a reason, and just because you as a rider like the sound, it is quite likely your neighbors despise it. So, was the rider cruising up and down the street, engine screaming through straight pipes?

I don't know, and even if he were, it wouldn't justify assaulting him in the public road with a deadly weapon (or just your hands). Call the cops instead - it is, after all, what they are there for.
 
Milder has no criminal history in Kane County other than traffic citations in the 1990s.

With a temper like that, probably road rage related!

We should wait for him to get out of the clink and hold a rally in MILDER's Alley!

Have a holeshot pit on his front lawn!

you are right, I guess my taking the shovel from the guy would depend on where he hit me.
 
We'll solve this. Never mind he had no work to do with it in the middle of the road. We'll have a Nation wide "shovel ban"!
 
We should wait and see what happens to him. If he don't get jail time, everbody should get together and send him a shovel full of dirt in a flat rate box. What would he do with them all if he got a couple hundred! Add a little MB oil to make sure he couldn't put it to good use. $10 flat rate!
 
In Florida a shovel is a garden tool until you attack someone with it ..then it becomes a "deadly weapon" then legally deadly force of any kind can be used..
