If this is indeed the former Sergeant Major of the Army, it's suprising that the local press hasn't picked up on this.

Check out his resume:

quote:
On his Bio page
Following his Army career, Mr. McKinney was a successful lecturer and motivational speaker for self-empowerment and improvement for varying groups including youth programs and government personnel.


I can imagine his inspiring speeches including phrases like "having the DRIVE to succeed" and "using the tools and strengths you have available to you to help you overcome or push things out of the way should they impede your desired goal..."


EDIT:
I assume his wife won't be bailing him out either:

Here's a blotter:

ATTEMPT MALICIOUS WOUNDING-ARREST 10/25/10, 1100 block of S. Eads Street. On October 25 at 8:50 am, two occupants of a vehicle argued. When the passenger attempted to take a picture of the vehicle, the driver struck him with the car. Gene McKinney, 59, of Manassas, was charged with Attempted Malicious Wounding. He was held without bond.

Google his name and connect the dots........

This is very disturbing - so sorry to hear this happened to you and your fellow passenger, but I hope that he will be OK.

If you have ANY other information or updates about this, please be sure to share it with us. I think we'd all be very interested to know what has happened to the driver and other passenger since this incident.

I've always said that old people shouldn't be allowed to drive.

When senility starts to set in and your minds starts to go, driving is the last thing that should be on your mind.

I've rode with him before. I don't think he'll be picking anyone up for a little while.

Have you ever noticed this driver/car before? It would be nice to know if they are a regular at that lot. [:)]
