September 7, 201214 yr Things like this really bother me... Friend of mine from church was driving to work this morning and saw another motorist broken down near Lawrenceburg. He stopped to help the guy change a tire. During the process, the man pulled out a knife and tried to kill the guy I know. Cut his face, stabbed him in the neck and tried to stab him in the chest. What's wrong with people these days?
September 7, 201214 yr Two questions. Is your friend okay? Did the police catch the guy? I would never stop and help anyone on the side of the road. Call em' some help and drive on.
September 7, 201214 yr Wow...that's intense. Hope your friend is alright and was able to report what happened.
September 7, 201214 yr Police have been warning people not to stop and help broken down vehicles. There have been other instances of good samaritans being assaulted.
September 7, 201214 yr That's horrible WM. Glad your friend is ok. Where did this happen at? I often times think about stopping and feel bad when I don't, definitely not leaving the gun in the car next time I do.
September 7, 201214 yr Sorry to hear this Wireman. I hope they catch this clown and prosecute him to the fullest.
September 7, 201214 yr Author That's horrible WM. Glad your friend is ok. Where did this happen at? I often times think about stopping and feel bad when I don't, definitely not leaving the gun in the car next time I do. This happened beside the dollar store on 127 in Lawrenceburg. I think it was about 5:30 a.m. or so.
September 7, 201214 yr That's horrible WM. Glad your friend is ok. Where did this happen at?

What good is that gun going to do you if you get ambushed before you can get it out.
September 7, 201214 yr This happened beside the dollar store on 127 in Lawrenceburg. I think it was about 5:30 a.m. or so. I applaud him for being kind enough to stop but I don't think I would've done the same at that time of day while it's still dark out. Generally I am only stopping if it's a female stranded or a guy that's got his family with him. Too many shady characters out there, it's really sad when a guy trying to do the right thing get's attacked by some lunatic for god only knows what reason.
September 7, 201214 yr Call them some help and move on. What good is that gun going to do you if you get ambushed before you can get it out. Who do you call for help? The police?
September 7, 201214 yr Terrible thing to happen. I'm glad your friend is OK and I hope they catch the guy who did this.

September 7, 201214 yr Who do you call for help? The police? That would be my suggestion. Call the police or do nothing. Not worth risking your life for someone you do not know.
