at the scene. Hadley was arrested Saturday night and was being held
today in the Baldwin County Corrections Center with his bail set at

it was a street sign pole with the street sign still on it. it went pole first in the windshield. was it wooden 4x4, pipe, angle iron? did it have concrete on it? the victim was at the same party? the victim was from mexico with nothing but an mexican ID. his name is posted by the police from his ID. there is more to this than this and i hope we get to hear it.

Did you add the speed of the car to it as well? Flat and flying, a sign is a blade with great mass. glass is a liquid after all and safety glass is not that strong.

Oh yes I have seen pine straw through the plank on the barn but it had a tornado pushing it.. I don’t think anybody could throw just the sign alone and it go through a windshield. Be much more likely to skip off because of the slant and how hard safety glass really is with the laminate !!

Foley had the crimes this weekend from the redneck dragging a police officer from a traffic stop to this idiot with anger problems throwing traffic signs. 

Crime has gone haywire.

Pensacola had a teenage thug shooting, Coastal Mississippi had a car run down a motorcycle cop, a sheriff deputy had his hand cut off in Clay County…

how so bobcat?

That’s pretty harsh don’t you think?

rusty? you never saw a paper straw stuck all the way through a potato ? i wonder if they will ever ID the victim?

What worries me is the fact that people do not have the ability to control anger anymore.  He killed someone he didn’t know because he was mad about a fight he had at home??

Is it just me or do they need to say that the sign had the pole attached !! How else would it get through the windshield…...

Sad, but incredible!  Maybe when he gets out of prison he can join the Olypmic discus throw team.
