Fort Bend County update

At our local Target, in Missouri City, a pickup owned by a family in Arcola was parked in the fire lane. So far, not so good. You should never park in a fire lane.

Now, a Missouri City man drives up behind the truck, yells at the woman in it to move the truck and then starts ramming the rear of the woman's truck with his own car. So far, even worse, because now we're apparently fighting over who gets to park in the fire lane.

Now, the woman gets out and asks him what he's doing, so he curses at her and makes a finger gesture. Use your imagination, this is a PG rated blog, here.

The woman's husband comes out of the store with his children, and he asks the Missouri City man how come he hit the truck. Seems reasonable to me. I would be curious in that situation.

More yelling, and the Missouri City man -the one that rammed the pickup from behind - gets out of his car and rushes the Arcola man, who pushes the Missouri City man back into his own vehicle. Again, reasonable.

The Missouri City man comes at him again, waving his fists. The Arcola man punches him in the face. So far, this could be any story back in Midland, but probably not Wichita Falls.

The Missouri City man then takes his shoes off, puts them on his hands and attempts to hit the illegally parked Arcola man with the shoes! OK, now it could be happening in Wichita Falls.

The Arcola man punches the Missouri City man in the face again, then puts his children in the truck and drives off "to get the kids out of harm's way," according to the police.


Note to self: never park in a fire lane in this area. Apparently, them are prime parkin' spaces here.
