What's that noise?

My afternoon blogging session was briefly interrupted a few minutes ago when I heard some shouting from the street.

By the time I got downstairs, Mac was already on the phone to the police. A violent assault was taking place right in front of the house.

Outside, two cars (both full of young men) were pulled over. One of the drivers was out of his vehicle and lashing violently at the other driver, who having half-opened his door, was struggling to protect himself.

It didn't stop there. The guy returns to his vehicle, brings out a steel nightstick and starts swinging it into the front of his victim's car. Just bashing it in! And all the time, he's screaming obscenities at the top of his voice.

Then, like it never happened, he gets back in his car and drives away.

Just thought I’d share that with you. Got to wonder what Dave would make of it all.
