We flipped him off as well and said, Biden 2020, and with that he came charging at us," Ledoux said. "I tried to pull forward but there was nowhere I could go because there was a car in front of us.

Absolutely no excuse for that creep's behavior. Let him sit in the pokey for a few years. Violent crimes against children don't sit well with inmates, who themselves have wives and kids. Child abusers and wife beaters are the lowest of the low in prison.
