Rednecks, Pickups, and Beer Bottles

Last night one the way to work, around 11:40 PM I was cruising along minding my own business when as a pickup passed me I felt a hard impact against my helmet. It hit hard enough to make me see stars. A beer bottle.
I managed to not wreck the bike and got the plate number. As soon as I got to work I called the cops. They caught the morons at a c-store buying more beer. The driver was busted for DUI, the passenger for public intox and assult with a deadly weapon. Turns out one of the cops who reponded rides a bent.
We chatted about bikes for a few minutes as he filled out the arrest report and I signed my statement. He said as they found the broken bottle right where I said it was, provided a description and plate number, and the idiot admitted to it (he said "I didn't mean to hit him, I was just trying to scare him"), I won't even have to show up in court, just sign my statement.
The cop told me this was strike three for the driver on DUI and the passenger was on parole and would be going back to the pen for an additional 5 years for parole violation on top of whatever he gets on these charges. The cop also said it was a good thing I didn't try to get back at them as they were both carrying guns which neither of them were permitted as they both had felony records.
Score one for the good guys.
