"I know you're lesbians. I should beat the crap out of you,"

Tacoma man, 72, pleads guilty to beating woman in road-rage incident
http://www.thenewstribune.com/2013/11/19/2901817/tacoma-man-pleads-guilty-to-beating.html

A 72-year-old Tacoma man pleaded guilty Tuesday in Pierce County Superior Court to second-degree assault and malicious harassment in a road-rage incident with gay-bashing overtones.

Judge Thomas Larkin sentenced William Zesbaugh to six months in jail. ... Zesbaugh was arrested in January after a traffic dispute turned violent on North Pearl Street in Tacoma.
....

Zesbaugh hit her at least once before a state ferry worker intervened, the records show. The woman suffered a deep gash in her forearm.

He then put the "Club" back into his trunk before telling the woman, "I know you're lesbians. I should beat the crap out of you," the records show.

He needs to be in counseling while he's in jail and it should continue until he doesn't drive anymore.

What a nightmare for the women. I hope they keep an eye on him through several years of probation. Also wouldn't hurt to forbid him from possessing any weapons with rage like that.
