The article says the attack was unprovoked. Is it possible the driver drove too close to the skateboarder, thereby endangering him? I bike a lot and frequently encounter drivers who seem to take pleasure in driving right next to bikes.

We can imagine a lot of things! We are free to make up scenarios in our heads all day long, constructing them any way we want. It's magical!

Just speculating BUT: skateboarders do not usually throw away their ride. He must have been very DISTURBED. So how do 30-year olds get disturbed? Varies. Almost getting run over? Drugs? Mental illness? All of the above?

Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act - Web Link
Whomever sold this proposition to the CA public was pure genius. Who wouldn't vote for it.
Yet here we are five years later talking about a person who likely benefited from this criminal statute reclassification and threw a skateboard probably high on drugs in in a safe neighborhood adjacent to a school. Shocker.
