24-year-old Justin Finch was struck by a car outside the Zia Record Exchange at 19th Avenue and Camelback Road, in Phoenix, and clung to the car’s trunk as it sped off down the street. Sounds like a scene you’d expect to see in an action movie, not a parking lot.
Luckily, Finch survived with just scrapes and bruises. “It was shocking. I was scared for my life for a minute. I got pinched between two cars… this leg got twisted around and stuff… I’m like, afraid,” he said.
According to Finch, this was the result of a confrontation that began when passengers of the car – Orlando Munoz, 16, his uncle and his uncle’s girlfriend – shouted a gay slur at him. He admitted to slamming one man to the ground in the ensuing scuffle, Fox reported.
Though cops stopped the car a half-mile away, police let everyone go. Finch, however, wants the people to face charges, saying, “I want justice. I really do.” The case has been forwarded to the police unit that investigates hate crimes.

Interestingly, this appeared in my facebook feed almost immediately after an interview with Henry Rollins where he said:
“Freedom is great, but the freedom to drive over someone and go on your way isn’t.” – Henry Rollins (2.13.61)
That was probably the most annoying voice I’ve ever heard and it’s a cellphone you don’t “get it on tape”. I recommend watching this without sound.
