Prosecutors: Puyallup man punched into coma after complimenting other man's car

PUYALLUP, Washington — A 21-year-old Puyallup man is in a coma after prosecutors said he was punched twice for making a comment about the rims on another man's car.

James Foster remains in Tacoma General Hospital on life support with severe head injuries.

Pierce County Prosecutors said Foster was punched by 25-year-old Daman Lehman outside a Puyallup bar Friday after he complimented the rims on a car Lehman was riding in.

"He loves cars, and he said, 'Nice car. What kind of rims you got on there?' and (Lehman) said, 'That's a stupid question,' and he hit him," James' father, Darrell Foster said.

According to a probable cause document, Lehman suddenly hit Foster once in the face. Eyewitnesses said Foster stood motionless, then Lehman hit him again, this time much harder. Foster fell to the ground and struck his head on the pavement. Witnesses said they heard Lehman say, "I put people to sleep, that's what I do," as he left the scene.

Lehman was arrested after gave police the license plate number of the car he was riding in. Prosecutors said he confessed to attacking Foster during interviews with investigators.

He pleaded not guilty to first-degree assault in Pierce County Superior Court. He is free on $75,000 bail.

"That was hard because (James is) laying there, fighting for his life," said Lisa Foster, James' mother, after Lehman's court hearing.

"If the glass (at the courtroom) wasn't there, I think I would have gone through the glass," Darrell Foster said. "You want to choke him, you know? You look at him and you think, 'My son's in a coma.'"

James Foster's parents said doctors have given them little hope of his recovery.

"They have no idea, they have no idea," Darrell Foster said. "They said he might never wake up, he might not talk."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's been my understanding that when someone compliments your car, punching them into a coma is not a socially acceptable response.

I thought such stuff happened only in cartoons. Lehman must be a major idiot indeed.

 

[Berzerker]

the poor victim was merely standing his ground against a stalker

 

[Skwink]

That's unfortunate.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

That's terrible...

 

[Synobun]

Not particularly surprising given the state of this society.

 

[cardgame]

What the hell? Is this man ********?

"Socially acceptable"? It's not even an understandable response. I mean, if the one dude had insulted the other guy's car, and the other guy punched him into a coma, that wouldn't be socially acceptable, but it would at least be understandable. This is just...

 

[Crezth]

Bravo. We need more brave souls like "douchebag" to stand their ground against young punks and thugs like Foster.

This wouldn't have happened 100 years ago. Society has declined too far and must be purged of "Daman" and his ilk. Gentlemen, we are living in the Final Nights. May Gawd send unto us his divine wrath so that we might be cured of our degeneracy.

note to self: Don't compliment men on their cars anymore

I don't understand. It's perfectly acceptable to compliment other men on their cars. It's the only acceptable thing to compliment a guy on. You can't compliment a guy on his looks or clothes, or they'll think you gay- and punch you for coming on to them. But complimenting a guy on their car was considered safe... until now.

Seriously: WTH is wrong with people now days. I think it's all these damn energy drinks. People need to lay off them and calm down. It's like you can't even talk to people now days without them getting bent out of shape.

 

[Tee Kay]

Careful, we shouldn't be holding up a clearly deranged a-hole as the new standard for society. That's giving the scum too much credit.

History is full of far worse people. Please don't rant about how terrible you think today is. I'm having fun and it's bringing me down.

 

[attackfighter]

Macho American culture caused this to happen, don't you lecture me when it's your country this happened in.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

Macho American culture caused this to happen, don't you lecture me when it's your country this happened in.

And feminist culture in Poland lost a guy some teeth right?

Don't lecture me on when I can lecture you.

Ok, allow me to lecture you.

Please don't rant how in ye olde days things were better.

Ahh but crime has increased in recent times, so my criticism is entirely valid.

This was your criticism:

"This wouldn't have happened 100 years ago."

Now if you meant, cars didn't have flashy rims back then, you'd have a point.

Now, about your new point "crime has increased in recent times" you're welcome to show me that on ratio the crime now is higher than 100 years ago.
