I love how half the people are blaming the woman in this. Amazing. Yes, the woman should have broken up with this man, but I know several people who are dating someone unemployed at the moment. Have you seen the job market, or rather lack of it? Now, if she is still dating him and willing to give him another chance AFTER this, then she's an idiot. Not before.
The guy is a moron, plain and simple. "I would never hurt her." Yeah...that explains why you rammed her with a car. I hope when he gets out he finds himself living on the street. The sheer stupidity of this man should have him locked away. "I don't see what the big deal is..." Right. You wreck a car that is worth more than some people's home (that doesn't even belong to you, mind you), but you get upset over a console that costs about $300. Do us a favor and jump off a cliff.
