The guy's page is full of trolling and rage bait. It's not serious
It still appeared serious enough to be upvoted by 700 people. I guess this speaks more on how the sanity of linkedin users is perceived than it speaks on the validity of the situation. And yeh, linkedin users are a bit fucked in the head.
I'm mad because a child's creation caused damage to my newly bought, overpriced 2026 Redneck Sports Car™ and I'm going to resort to litigation! /s
The defendant has been found guilty. The plaintiff is awarded $4.37 to be paid directly from the defendants allowance over the course of the next year.
Reminds me of a short story.
"What's it for?" Princess asked.
"It's a lie detector," Cross said.
Funny
I enjoyed that story, thanks
So Mark Majeski purposefully crashed his car into a static object and blames someone else for the consequences of his own actions?
Validity of his anger depends on where the snowman was placed before the hit: if it was on the road...
Great example of american values.
I'd be surprised if there were any legal consequences for something like this. It's not a "booby trap" in the traditional sense where it poses a danger to legitimate visitors or emergency responders entering a property. It is a solid structure inside another (seemingly less solid) structure. You should already not be trying to ram into it. It poses zero risk to anyone that doesn't already intent to maliciously destroy the apparently less solid structure.
And it plausibly helps support the snow. There is a legitimate purpose.
we have issues in the UK with something like this. if you pay road tax you can park anywhere that isn't parking controlled, including outside peoples houses (so long as you're not restricting their access to the highway). some homeowners started putting traffic cones out to "reserve" the spot outside their homes (you cant legally do this btw).
People would just push them out of the way with their cars so homeowners started filling them with concrete.
Putting one of those in the road absolutely can and does get you in trouble
Doesn't it depend where the obstacle is, though? I'm assuming these are cars parking on the road, or at least a shoulder or driveway. If the cars are pulling up onto a front lawn and parking under the kitchen window of a house, that's entirely different. I'm pretty sure filling a traffic cone with concrete and placing it in a path a car is expected to drive on is going to get you in trouble anywhere. I doubt building a snowman with a stump or concrete core in the middle of a lawn on private property would get you in trouble in most places.
It would be illegal for others to park if it was actually on the property people want to own the public road next to their property
Did they build this snowman in a roadway? If so, he has a case but "could've" (should've) avoided the obstacle... If the snowman was not built in a roadway: gtfo
What would make you think driving through a snowman is a good idea to begin with? You'd have to be driving through a yard or at least jumping a curb. Take the guy's license away for reckless driving.
more importantly, you are going to damage your car even if the snowman is not reinforced. what moron would do that?

If you plow through a snowman with your car, you're an asshole. If you do it with your brand new sports car, you're a stupid asshole.
I’d have thought a snowman would do a fair bit of damage to a car anyway.
Let me add one more: he's done this several times already which is the reason the kids added bricks in the first place.
Where are these snowmen situated?
Its like a honeypot for assholes.
Reminds me of my grandfather, these kids kept knocking his mailbox down with baseball bats. After the second time it was hit, he put up a new one filled with concrete. The very next morning there was half a wooden baseball bat on the ground and a dent in the mailbox. They never did it again.
I've heard basically the same story before from a local incident, but with the added bonus of the other side: they used a metal bat and the kid dislocated his arm and was almost pulled right out of the car.
Same type of person would drive through a pile of leaves not thinking if there were kids in it.

My cousins used to live on a street with massive trees that dropped tons of leaves every autumn. The city would have special service days where everyone rakes the leaves into big piles in the street and street sweepers would come vacuum them up.
Hooligans liked the drive through the big piles in the middle of the night. I honestly kinda see the appeal, who could resist. Anyway, they started to doing the same thing. Piles of cinder blocks under some of them. I was staying with them one night and we heard some horrible carnage, came out to find some sedan high centered on a pile of cinder blocks with the bumper hanging off.
There was a news story some years back about a little girl who was killed when her father did this. She was playing in a pile of leaves and her dad was unaware of that. He drove through the pile of leaves and ... yeah, that was that. :(
Trying to find the original news story, I'm finding multiple instances of this sort of thing happening. Which is even more heartbreaking.
Here's the story.
What's wild is it's only one of several I found like this. People out there, train your kids to not lay in leaf piles AND not to drive through them.

Fuck Cars, and asshole dickheads in particular who get thrills running over snowmen and scaring off cyclists and pedestrians. Deserves losing his braggart machine.
Unless the snowman was built in the road, the driver is at fault not the people that created the snowman.

Even in case of a "usual" snowman, you can easily crack plastic bodyparts or dent metal ones. This is not GTA, where you just have to remember which items are breakable and which are not
