3. For those who don't know what a "tire thumper" is

I was a trucker for many years. A tire thumper is a short club used to whack dual tires to make sure they aren't flat.

It's similar to a Shillelagh. I used to carry it to "check my tires" when I was in an area where I needed extra defense.

If you hit someone in the head with one of these, you intended to kill them. Period.

I hope that jug eared doofus DNA disaster gets exactly what's coming to him very, very soon.

I'D NEVER GET TIRED OF THUMPING HIM.
