Anybody feel sorry for the trucker?

They shot up his truck for being a pig!:

Now he is stranded in the dessert. His delivery won't make it to Fresno and he will loose some pay. He will have to pay for dammages! He could have been seriously hurt, maybe even killed from the explosion! Then they drive away and laugh about it! Come on!

He was probably lonely on the road. He just saw the opportunity for some female companionship. So they let him down there. But, Truckers are supposed to be pigs!

Granted not appologizing was a stupid mistake, especially when people are pointing a gun at you. But now he was vicitimsed.

Remember he has no idea what Thelma went through: (getting raped, robbed, beaten by her husband and forced to commit robery.)

I wouldn't go as far as to feel sorry for him, but I think they could have left it at shooting his tyres. That's already caused a massive pain in the ass for him and he would have been stranded with that problem alone. I agree that a complete explosion was a bit overboard. He was a massive sexist pig (and also married - remember he took off his wedding ring!) but the punctured tyres would have sufficed as punishment. I think by that point though the girls really didn't have much to lose, got a taste for being criminals, and their hate for men, (Harlan, JD, Darryl) had just intensified.

I wouldn't mind being stranded in the dessert. It sounds tasty!

The thing I couldn't help but wonder about as far as the trucker was concerned, was how would he explain to his wife how he lost his ring? Oh that poor trucker....lol. All he was hoping for was some threesome action.
