Look at the scowl and contempt on that guy's face (the suspect). Talk about a guy with some issues. And he's supposed to be a Doctor. And, driving an LC, which can easily run six figures, it also shows you what kind of money these guys often make.

The young man that got hit (thank goodness he wasn't seriously hurt) was only 18. That has to be the youngest security guard I've heard of, though there may be more of them that age that I'm just not aware of.

The arrogance of the driver is astounding. He sent an email to the guard's boss demanding he be fired for not recognizing his car (because it's unique) and letting him through immediately.

What a jerk, welcome to our locale, land of the biggest douche's. Pompous loser who thinks driving an LC makes him special. This is Miami for you, and the loser was not even driving a Bimmer, who knew... sigh.

How'd you like that to be the face of the Dr that delivers your kids LOL

What a jerk. It amazes me how people who have success and money can feel so superior to others who don't, and people who work jobs serving them. I have always treated everybody around me with the same respect, as I was taught to do. Amazing.

Good for the security company to investigate and turn the guy in vs just caving and firing the kid.

Minor incident?!? The dude hits this kid with his car, TWICE and then calls his boss and demands he be fired because the security guard had the audacity to control his access to his controlled access community.

This guy is a major league d-bag.

Doctor's have a hippocratic oath....

"First do no harm"

And to an 18 year old working as a residential guard, entry level job which is most likely his first. Doc certainly isn't using his common sense here.

I think what the driver did was a bonehead move. However, the security guard clearly was inexperienced and should never of gotten in front of the car for the second time. I doubt the charges will stand as there will be some way out of it. That security guard better not come to the ER while that doctor is on shift

........That's assuming that this so-called "Doctor" doesn't lose his medical license and/or AMA credentials.
