Must be a good place to live if this is newsworthy.

I am no yuppie (I'm old and currently not working for $), but if someone assaulted me and called me a fatso when I was out for a walk I'd be momentarily distressed. I am not sure I'd start a facebook page about it, but you can be sure I'd file a police report so that if it happened again, and she was caught she be held accountable.

Although I should add, I understand the RJ's frustration at people that take up the entire sidewalk when they walk several abreast. That's pretty rude in itself. However, it doesn't warrant assault. I checked the FB page and one of the photos was of an HEB employee that one poster considered 'rude' because he reprimanded her for having 14 items in the 10 item express lane. Now, THAT's whining on the part of the woman. She broke the rules, she was called out on it, and then she has the gall to call the enforcing employee rude. Now, that's entitled...and rude!

Hmmmm....somehow I can almost sympathize with the jogger. I hate it when folks block the grocery store isles making idle conversation with another shopper as I am trying to squeeze my way through. Also sounds like the Steiner Ranch ladies may be trying to put a little drama flair onto the incident also with the FB thing. Just my opinion....

I'd say there's more than enough rudeness to go around in this scenario. I didn't catch that the women were walking abreast and taking up the whole sidewalk, but that's rude, as well.

Nothing like a modern day witch hunt. I don't see why this is news worthy either.

It's Kelso, not exactly a news story. Most of what he writes is pretty tongue-in-cheek.

This is Texas. I'm sure there must be some way to put someone in jail. Well, at least give them a ticket.
