She is sitting there window half down stunned, asking him to not call her "those things". An adult man yelling at a girl filthy things and then he SPITS on her face! She comes home in tears sobing. She said she wanted to get back at him somehow, so she got his plate number and a good description of him. I called the police who came over and we made a report. The house the plates were registered too didn't have a car there as of then. Tomorrow I will call on the report and see what is going on. What an ***, bully, he is more than a jerk, he assulted her, a minor. Our family is not very forgiving about things like this.
Rapp & family,

I know exactly how you feel. This happened to my son about 2 months ago in Selma, AL. The guy took offense to a perceived on-road insult (signaled lane change) and followed Austin to a Taco Bell. He pulled in behind Austin to prevent his leaving the parking space and started yelling vile things.
Austin exited his car (NOT smart), and the man abruptly left.
Austin is 6'3", weighs 310 and benches 425. Right tackle for UWA.
I hope your daughter is ok, and doesn't in the future do anything "brave" like my idiot son. He got a good talkin' to from me and then, poor bugger, his mom started in on him. He's big, but that makes him a great target. Too many people are armed these days, and for the wrong reasons.

My best, Max
