John Reilly, the highway superintendent in Chester, a town nearly 60 miles (96 kilometers) north of Manhattan, was charged Saturday with first degree assault and criminal possession of a firearm.
State Police say the DoorDash driver had been attempting to deliver food to a residence in Reilly’s neighborhood on Friday night when he became lost and unable to navigate using the app.
They say the driver approached several homes asking for directions before arriving at Reilly’s residence.
“Reilly told the victim to get off his property, before firing multiple shots at the victim as he attempted to leave in his vehicle, striking the victim once in the back, causing serious physical injuries,” state police said.
I think scared and indifferent to the damage they do is more accurate. Though I’m not even sure it’s indifference. I think they actually delight in causing harm to people they believe deserve that harm.
And he clearly thought he could get away with it despite the driver not being a threat in any way.
Simple-minded spineless shit with no concept of how actions have consequences also works. No concept of empathy, (viewed as a weakness in fact because emotions are scary and hard and complex while simple hate is easy) no value in life of any kind.
One is a republican when one is dumb, rich, or both. Mostly the former.
Kinda sad really, so many simpletons that are easy to manipulate and they all have been played like a fiddle for 40 or so years to do the bidding of Evil.
Yes, if he would be only indifferent then he would have shot the driver when talking to him, not when the driver was already back in their car & on the way away.
Can’t help but to think that the driver being “only a food delivery person” (ie poor/of lower caste) had a lot to do with the decision to basically randomly open fire for shit & giggles.
