So, is truck driver dead? Hope so. There is no excuse for an attack like that.

Justifiable homicide. I hope that pos in the truck is dead.

It was on Live PD last night.

Was that Flex's stolen Corvette?

I've noticed that certain types of truck drivers hate nice sports cars.

I agree. They look like the white trash guys Dodge used about 20 years ago in the 'That thing gotta Hemi?' ad campaign.

White, flabby, tatted up, and unsophisticated. Iron Maiden or Hip Hop fans.

Probably not cuckoo clock or fountain pen collectors, and probably don't appreciate Stan Getz, Dave Brubeck, or Duke Ellington.

Truck driver should have been murdered on the spot.

Shooter has some training.

"Cops said he had managed to steal a car after the hit-and-run to make his escape, the chase ended in Sullivan County and he was taken into custody.

Roecker was initially transported to a local hospital due to gunshot wounds which are not expected to be life-threatening.

The victim told police he had noticed that he was being followed by a red truck but that he did not know why.

Cops said it was determined Roecker was under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time."

Roecker has been charged with attempted murder, criminal recklessness, resisting law enforcement and auto theft

And he's athletic as all hell. Good for him, that pos tried to murder him with his compensating truck.

9mm > 3 ton truck

It was a regular thing to have some clown in his jacked up Bro-Dozer ride 5' off my split window's bumper at 60 mph.... Flaming d!cks IMO.

[Torqaholic]

Sounded like a 40 cal (10mm)... Turned that guy into a jack-in-the-box.

I've seen this a number of times. If he knew the truck was actually following him, he parked wrong side to the street unless he had a passenger. He also should have started blasting earlier.

Why would anyone drive home if they thought they were being followed? Especially armed. Better places to stop.

They were just drafting you, trying to pick up an extra mile per gallon or so on their fuel economy.......

I remember several times when some guy in a car or truck tried to mess with me when I was riding my motorcycle back in the day. Many times I'd wave tailgaters around, or when that didn't work do a "reverse pass". At least four times it got more serious, and I'd stay far back then approach them at a stop light. Or follow them home. Attitudes change real fast when they don't have their two-ton shark cage to hide into.

That happened to me twice, as a young kid (20) on my motorcycle. First time I stopped on the side of the road and got off my bike and they sped off, second time they followed me all the way home, I got off my bike, and they left. I was ready to rock and roll and had a helmet on, was young, strong, and stupid, and full of adrenaline. Today, I'd drive slowly to a police station or fire station and summon help. Yadkin and I used to be real badasses when we had hair, people. Believe it.
