Like, I don’t really enjoy airing all of my dirty laundry on here, but when I heard the idling diesel of a pickup parked against me at 9 p.m. for 10 minutes, I sort of knew what was coming.
It’s an industrial zone, so tractors at that hour are unremarkable. Pickups, on the other hand …
They finally headed north and clearly made a U-turn, because next thing I knew, I was hit. Now, you don’t want to confront people in Texas. If they’re willing to drive into you, guessing at their armaments is folly.
Something needs to be accelerated here. I’ve now been attacked. I didn’t have that on my bingo card for the week, but that’s pretty much everything. Musk killing the administrative state sucks, but this is not currently my main concern.

Ah, that’s kind of important info that should probably be in the post.
So that means someone deliberately crashed into your van? Should be straightforward to investigate, plenty of cameras in industrial areas, plus paint residue on your van as evidence and such.
What did the cops say?
The state of my living situation is somewhat widely known, so I didn’t care to be redundant.
Cops have been useless for property crime in Austin for several years. There was no point in calling.
I also wasn’t getting out of the van while they were still around. What good is getting a license plate if it comes with a bullet? This is Texas, and they were already happy to risk damage to their vehicle by ramming into a stationary Class 5 commercial vehicle.
