    Maybe it could give credence to legal carrying for truckers, but we don't know that would have guaranteed the driver wouldn't have been stabbed. If he's in his trailer off loading, chances are he wouldn't have had his piece on him. This is just one of those weird situations. The stabber did say what he was going to do, and if someone shows their ace of spades, you better believe it.

    Pepper spray probably would have helped if the attacker wasn't out of his mind on drugs.

    never says the guy was homeless. he may live on the road blocked and couldn't get out.

    driver should have had at least a hammer or piece of 2x4 handy. dumb.

    I go into St. Louis in the middle of the night and do a drop and hook every once in a while. On the way in you can see the hoodlums at the gas station on the corner watching you turn down a dead end road . I guarantee you when I'm outside the truck that 40 caliber Springfield is on my hip.

    Prayers for the trucker.

    Remember a month ago when we were getting praised?

    People sure do forget quick.

    Time to start carrying crow bars.
    At least it gives us range on a knife wielder.

    considering the guy’s blood alcohol level was already almost .3, I’d be tempted to buy 2 more bottles of cheap whiskey and finish him off.

    another dead drunk in an alley might do the world a favor.
