Did you read about the couple that pulled the grandmother out of her car then beat her, all because she apparently cut in front of them? That is messed up!
Grandmother beaten at school
By Vader - Posted on February 2nd, 2007
I wish someone had recorded this incident. There was a long line of cars waiting to pick up kids, and Ms. Duerson drove into the parking lot between two cars rather than waiting in line. That
"if" (wish I knew how to italicize on here) the Blade story is accurate - it sounds as if the grandmother drove between two cars that were in the 'waiting' line to park in the lot. Like when you turn left between two cars waiting at a red lot to get into a parking lot.
And if that is what happened and they beat this lady - hope they get locked up long time.
I don't care what the grandmother did since none of her actions put any children at risk. Those two animals get everything thats coming to them.
I have to wonder though didn't any of the other parents try to stop the attack? There were witnesses did none of them step into help this woman?
I am not shocked by this. I see people act stupidly with their cars in full view of children every day.
Take an afternoon and drive to Maumee. Go sit outside Fairfield Elementary when children are getting out of school. You will see the biggest mass of cars of parents picking up their kids (most kids live within walkable distance from the school) and you will see cases of road rage.
I have seen multiple cases of parents almost go to blows over who can park closer to pick up their kid. Plus in all reality the parents could probably stand to lose the few pounds they would by walking to the school and walking their children home.

The Calvins should be publically beaten and flogged!

Although I've never seen it, I've heard that it's common for people to simply stand around and watch instead of trying to rescue another person. Pulling the younger woman off Granny just about guarantees you're going to get into a fight with both the husband and wife, so you'd better be prepared.
I'd like to think that I'd intervene on Granny's behalf, but no-one can ever know what they'll do until they are faced with an emergency situation of some sort.
Sad buy very true, and I'm sure I'd be having those same second thoughts but I wonder if just one or two people would have had the guts to yell out or even pull them off her if others wouldn't have maybe joined in?
I'm guessing that like most bullies these two low lifes would have folded in the face of even a small crowd of people, and if that school is anything like my son's then there would have been plenty of parents around to do it.
