https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2018/08/25/a-man-thought-female-drivers-are-incompetent-so-he-shot-them-police-say/?utm_term=.1bf2e769f77eNicholas Dagostino hated female drivers, authorities say, so much so that he shot them while they were driving.
Police in Texas linked Dagostino to two recent shootings in which women said they were shot in the arm. Both incidents happened in broad daylight, within a few miles of each other in the Katy area of Harris County, west of Houston. And both involved a suspect Dagostino who claimed he shot the women in self-defense, according to criminal complaints.
But social media ramblings indicate that Dagostino held a very dim view of women, believed female drivers are incompetent, and that their sole purpose is to give birth to male children, investigators wrote in court documents.
Dagostino, 29, is facing two felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The most recent shooting happened on July 10, at a carwash in Katy. The victim told police that she was pulling into the carwash when she heard a noise and saw that her drivers-side window was cracked. She assumed it had been hit by a rock, but she later saw blood dripping down her arm, court records say.

at him until he cries.
Wouldn't take long.
Then he can go to prison.

The police are referring to this as a "green" Ford Explorer. I hope this is a typo and not the 2018 version of "Laurel or Yanny."
On another subject, I feel slightly bad...I relaxed a little when I found out the woman this particular individual almost killed was a "Katy mother." My sister is a Katy resident who works in Houston, and she drives all over the place. Since she has no children, I knew at once it wasn't her.

Hey Macho Man: ditch the Mountain Dew and the biscuits and gravy. And the guns. And whatever freaky shit you've been putting into your body and mind.

He likely does not get it much. And he is trying to come up with a formula to get women to stay home more. So when he rings their door bell they greet him with open arms and they invite him in for a little action.
Just look upon him as Don Juan with a six shooter, who is looking for a woman who is inclined to the subservient side and likes to obey her man when he barks out orders for her.
Did Floridah man move to Texas ?
