Just to keep everyone up to date.
She is doing great,she is up walking around with crutches.every day she is getting more mobility and what not.We have a Dr. appointment on friday for a MRI they are concerned with the scaring of tissue in the hip.They say the worst case senerio would be hip replacement in the next year,long term new hip in 10 years if her knee holds out.They said what seperated her from a wheel chair and not walking was her highth,and the desing of the bumpers on suburbans.
We have picked out a suspect and now they just have to find him,he is a habitual offender and druggie so now all we can do is wait.
Thanks again everyone for your prayers.

Glad to see you wife is doing better. I sure hope the suspect is caught. What happened was terrible!

RE: Well I'm Back
 

im glad your wife is doing better...

however i dont hope that guy gets caught, i hope he gets killed! that guy should not be alive. i have worked in corrections now for 6 years, and most of those dangerous druggie types get their sentences, wait a year or two to lower their prison points, move to more lax places, minimum securitys ect, then are released way before there date because of overcrowding. parole takes care of that. when i worked in the county jail here 6 years ago, we had a sex offender chi-mo who got like 17 years. i ran into him shopping in the local grocery store last month. HE RAPED KIDS!!!!!

why should we as a society have to put up with these people in our communities. i personally feel the death penalty should be used on a MUCH more frequent basis. man am i tired of working with these people. now if i can just get another job (im trying, the mines here will hire in a month or so...maybe)

sorry to rant, a little off subject. i really hope they get that guy.

Glad to here your wife is doing ok. Wow! I expect that type of activity down here in the Bitterroot (typical sunday sport drivers) but was shocked to here those things happen up north also. Hope things continue to work in your favor.

BBJ,

Good Lord, I havent been in this forum for a few days. I am so sorry. I am shocked, but most of all glad you guys came out alive. In today's world we just never know when the next "TWEEKER" is gonna freak. That story is just unbelievable. I will definately pray for you and your wife. I am very saddened that she has to go through this pain and that you had to witness this. You really held your cool with that 9mm. Just thinking about your situation brought a lot of emotion out in my mind considering what I would do in your shoes. I am still just blown away, yet thankful you are both alive.

I also will pray that that man will be caught and prosecuted to the fullest. My anger for what he did to you and your wife makes me want to say kill him, my mind askes what would motive a person to allow themselves to become that kind of idiot and my heart askes how does Jesus love a human like that? Your a good man BBJ, I dont know how you didnt kill that man. I wish you guys a speedy recovery.

sorry to hear about your bad trip i hope your wife is getting better, at least you held your cool i dont think i could in the similar sittuation

RE: Well I'm Back
 

He'd be in a box if he tried that crap with me.

RE: Well I'm Back
 

Glad everyone is ok.With that being saidmy question is why carry the 9mm for self defense and not use it ? You have it with you for self defense and have every reason in this case to waste this peice of scum away, especially after hurting your wife.I don't get it.

RE: Well I'm Back
 

Joedjr,
There was nothing more thatI would have liked was to shoot,but realy he never gave me the opportunity to fire until he hit my wife.
He only cracked the window,and shattered the mirror.As I asked the officer @ what point did I have the right to defend my self? he said not until he hit my wife!
This all happened in less than 45 sec.When he was beating on the windows I drew the gun,in my mind if he would have shattered I would shoot.But he didnot only cracked in severly.He then punched off my drivers side mirrior and started to walk away.At this point I stepped out with the gun and demanded him to stop,the only shot I had there was one to his back,and I was not about to shoot him in the back,at this point my wife got out of vehical,he was getting in his,I laid the gun on the seat and was proceeding towards the front of my vehical,that is when he backed up and hit her and the vehical,I turned grabbed the gun off the seat raised and was about to pull the trigger(at this point he was already driving forwared)this was my opportunity if any and I know this,but have any of you ever heard your wife scream in pain at 10 feet.My attention went to her as she slid down the hood of the suburban,whenI looked back he was 200 yds away and driving very fast,I was not going to let aimless rounds fly and hit oncomming traffic or bystanders.What I wanted to do is run him down and kill him,but I tended to my wife as she was going into shock,and talked to the 911 dispatch.
If the kids were in the vehical I would have shot,as soon as they became upset.
I guess I was looking for a oppurtunity to shoot,not if.I was looking at the long run and the consequences,he had no weapon(except when he was in the vehical).He didnot come through the window,or assault us,yet.
He displayed aggression when he hit us with his vehical and forced us off the road,but had not inflicted bodily damage yet.
I don't know I realy don't,at nightI still replay the whole thing in my mind,I'm mad that I didn't and I feel it is my fault at times.But also I'm home with my wife and kids and not in some jail waiting for a trail for murder or man slaughter.
I did the right thing in my mind,he will get what is coming.
A person never knows what one will doin those situations,I remaind calm and used my head for the most part,my wife is glad I did not kill him and I was at the hospital with her,I had freinds-family calling with bail money they for shure thought I killed the guy.
I didn't and there for I'm here to explain why I didn't.

RE: Well I'm Back
 

BBJ, how is the wife doing?? Any more news on that suspect? You did the right thing and things happen so fast when you are in that situation. You are right about one thing...unless you've been in that situation you really have a hard time picturing it. Keep us posted. Hope they find that wacko...
