Some early A.M. Methhead was probably trying to rob him and he took the "Aint takin no sh*t while ridin my bike" cowboy stance and it got him killed.
i think it's weird how the reporter keeps mentioning the price of gas in the article.
one might think that if the price of gas were lower, this guy wouldn't be reduced to "having to" ride a bike, and therefore would still be alive today.
Gotta love the media hey?
