  • Man with sledgehammer and gun attacks speed control vehicle in MD

    At about 11:30 a.m., a contractor for the Maryland State Highway Administration was parked in a white Jeep next to a guard rail on I-295. The Jeep had speed cameras affixed to it to catch speeders going through the construction zone, said Maryland State Police spokesman Greg Shipley:

    A man came out of the woods with a shotgun and a hammer and began tapping on the rear of the Jeep with the shotgun, Shipley said. The worker became frightened and started blowing his horn.

    “The suspect then came to the front of the Jeep and began yelling incoherently and smashing the windshield with the hammer,” Shipley said.

    The windshield shattered, but nobody was injured, he said.

    The worker got out of the car and crouched by the guard rail for cover. the man with the hammer and gun left.

    “The suspect disappeared into the wooded area,” Shipley said. “We’re still looking for him.”

          So they send someone out in a uniform and marked vehicle to do "law enforcement" work with no sidearm or other means to defend themselves?

          Blowing the horn and hiding from a shotgun.

          Fuck all that.
