OK, who's spraying bullets around the Wal-Mart parking lot?

I don't agree that the danger is past once the car is past you. You don't know that he's not going to come around for another pass, or stop and reverse towards you.
Once again, context is everything and we don't have it. :-)

This is a good place to bring up this topic... We have been concerned about the use of copyrighted news articles from the web being used in their entirety here on the forums.
I have been guilty as anyone, but we need to change this practice.
Please post the link to the article, a few lines of pertinent text and send readers to the link for more reading.
I know it is a pain in the butt, but a major local player has hired a group that is notorious for filing lawsuits over copyright infringement, and I don't want our group to fall into their trap.

Point taken. I based my thoughts on the meager info given. Repeated efforts to attack with a motor vehicle is something else. I still sympathize with the father of a 16 year old girl who's dating a 19 year old felon.

If I'm not mistaken, the concern in the lawsuit is over un-cited work. The work above is properly cited. My undergrad is journalism. I know to mind my P's and Q's. One new source cites another thousands of times per day. When I take news from another agency and present it as my own (or simply don't properly cite it) that's where the lawsuit comes in.

You are mistaken on this one, there is a @#$! storm going based on the DMCA and newspaper articles being linked to (yes just a link to the newspapers website) and most of the close to 100 websites hit can not afford to fight.
