When a police dog ran after him and bit him on the arm, Mabry pulled out a knife and stabbed his own throat.
I learned that technique in karate class. The sensei was careful to inform us, though, that it doesn't work against dogs.

Definite anger issues. I hope they put them in the same cell and video tape it.

Why do I get the feeling there's more to this story? Like maybe these two knew each other before this incident?

When the average California driver, the ones who never realized a blinker is original equiptment any car, reads this they think, "I could take him."

I'm puzzled by the assumption that this is not like where I live. Well, of course, here both of the drivers would have had real weapons, but ...

In Chicago all that stuff usually happens during on-road portion of the license test.

In CA the Vietnamese version of the state's driver test requires compotency in street violence and gang affiliation. Efficiency in reading road signs printed in English is not required to actually recieve your license. And yes it's all right, you still pass, if you run a blue light during the driving portion of the test.

Hey Dave,
Nice shout-out in today's NY Times, in an editorial, no less! Check out the "Stranger Than Fiction" ed piece. "Naked Came the Manatee" gets a plug.

"In 2004, authorities said he rammed a Polk Sheriff's Office squad car that was pursuing him for driving the wrong way on U.S. 301. He got out and ran. When a police dog ran after him and bit him on the arm, Mabry pulled out a knife and stabbed his own throat.
At the time, neither additional deputies nor a Taser could subdue Mabry."
Even after he stabbed himself. Last I checked, dying men are easy to subdue.

"Hsieh has two previous arrests, including disorderly conduct and domestic battery.
...Mabry ...has seven previous arrests, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and resisting an officer, dating to 2000."
It's so nice when two kindred spirits finally find each other.

Judi: "When a dog bites man, it isn't news".
Unless a) the man also stabbed himself in the neck and b) he had been beaten by a Chinese man with a bat.
Then that is news.
And possibly a new reality show.
