Seems he took it upon himself to use his vehicle as a battering ram on pedestrians who had the temerity to be out and about on a fine Silicon Valley day. This horrific behavior is easily explained by his military service.

Four of the victims remained hospitalized with major injuries, including a 13-year-old girl in critical condition.<\/p>\n<p>A witness, 72-year-old Don Draper, said he watched in horror as Peoples&#8217; car sped through a crosswalk in a Sunnyvale shopping area Tuesday evening and bodies went flying. It was a warm night, around dinner time and people were out in cafes and restaurants in the area.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I saw this woman fly through the air right in front of me. She flipped upside down and then fell right in front of my car,&#8221; Draper said, adding that he was so enraged, he marched over to Peoples&#8217; car, which had swerved onto a sidewalk and crashed into a tree. He said Peoples did not appear drunk but looked dazed and was mumbling over and over, &#8220;Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sunnyvale police Capt. Jim Choi said authorities were still trying to determine a motive. There was no evidence linking Peoples to any terrorist organization but the crash was deliberate, he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Army sharpshooter. Ummm-Kay. Is that like every Marine is a rifleman? I&#8217;m sure the fact he was a drooling idiot when captured after the incident has nothing to do with his actions.
