The price of ignoring street harassers

Via Mary B. in comments, this is a truly awful story from Florida about street harassment turning into full-on assault.
A woman was walking down the street, and chose to ignore the catcalls some asshole was yelling at her as he drove past. Apparently he thought he was so entitled to her attention that he turned the truck around and ran her over. In other words, “that’s what you get for ignoring me, bitch.” Hard to hollaback from underneath your harasser/assaulter’s vehicle.
The woman was taken to the hospital and is in serious condition. The driver of the truck is still at large. If he’s ever found, police say they may charge him with attempted murder.
