He said that during one run he was about halfway through a crosswalk when a driver who had already made eye contact with him pulled forward blocking the entire crosswalk. He said it pissed him off so bad that without thinking he just kept running. When he got to the car he leapt up onto the hood, jogged across it and leapt off, never breaking stride.

I have to admit that ever since he told me that story I've wanted to do that as it's happened to me plenty of times.
A lesson the driver will remember would be to always carry your 9mm with you and shoot out the tires that are in the crosswalk.
