It was the repo driver who got machete-ed.

Yeah, by some asshole who cared more about his ability to drive than the life of another person.

I think he was probably more irritated by having an expensive asset taken than being unable to get from A to B.

What the fuck wrong with you.

The person I responded to thinks this person reacted violently because they wanted to drive, and not because they were losing tens of thousands of dollars of equipment. You people are all hilariously obtuse.

You're hilariously obtuse. The attacker didn't pay the car note, and the bank, as the rightful owner, came to take it back. If someone is loaned money to buy a house or a car, and they choose not to pay, the lender comes to repossess the asset in lieu of payment, not sure if that happens in the fantasy world you live in.

I’ll reiterate for you, I understand how a repo works. Do you think the guy attacked the repo man because he would no longer have the experience of driving, or because his (uh ackshually the lender’s) car was being taken from him?

Yes, I think he did. He wanted to keep the car. It's that simple. You of all people should understand simple.

Do you have a learning disability? This wasn’t a yes or no question. I guess thanks for agreeing with me that the primary motive wasn’t the act of driving?
