Maybe the guy in the pickup thought he was standing his ground or something
///

A man who was hitchhiking across the country for a memoir called “The Kindness of America” was shot along a rural highway in northeast Montana, police there say.

Ray Dolin, 39, of West Virginia, approached a pickup truck on Saturday in Glasgow, Mont., thinking the driver was offering him a ride, Valley County Sheriff Glen Meier told the Associated Press. Dolin was shot in the arm.

The shooter, Lloyd Danielson of Washington state, drove off and was arrested four hours later in Culbertson, Mont., 100 miles away. He’s being held on suspicion of felony assault with a weapon and driving under the influence. According to the Billings Gazette, Danielson, 52, “was under the influence of drugs or alcohol and apparently headed to Williston, N.D., for work tied to the oil boom.” Williston home to the Bakken oil patch, which stretches across western North Dakota, eastern Montana and southern Saskatchewan.

What? The? Fuck?

How do you decide to shoot some random person on your way to a job? In my world, life as you know it ends when you shoot some random guy, which I would think would discourage that sort of thing.

I hope this maniac gets locked up for a good long time.

Maybe the driver was writing a book titled , "redneck gun-toting in america"

Three things:

1) I wonder what his book's new title will be?

2) You're more likely to survive being shot in the arm than any other large part of your body. It still sucks to get shot, of course. I'm just saying...

3) ...okay, I guess it was just two things.

Possibly thought the guy was 'cruising', and that he had bagged himself a real life HOWMOWSAXUALE... AHMAGENIT! - but, if he turned out to not be gay, then what with that backpack and a smile, he had at least gotten to shoot a liberal... and if that ain't bragging rights to the majority of the republican base, what is?

For some reason this reminds me of Sam Neil's last words in 'The Hunt for Red October'

"I would have liked to have seen...Montana..."
