Puyallup man in coma after commenting on car rims

Pierce County Prosecutors say a 21-year-old Puyallup man is in a coma after commenting on rims on a stranger's car.

KIRO 7 reports that James Foster was hit twice outside a bar late last week after asking 25-year-old Daman Lehman what kind of rims he had on his car.

Lehman reportedly responded, 'That's a stupid question,' and allegedly hit Foster in the head twice, knocking him to the ground, with Foster's head hitting the pavement.

Lehman has pleaded not guilty to first-degree assault.

    If you are who you claim to be....

    A little advice: Stay off these blogs until the emotions settle. There are a lot of dumb people who post ignorant things. Most, like tho one above, are just stupid and can't help themselves.

    Others are fishing for responses from others by posting moronic thoughts. We call them trolls.

    I am truly sorry for your son's condition. Hope you and your wife pull together through all of this. Most of all, although things don't look good as of today, I hope James pulls through and recovers.

    Keep in mind: Doctors are not fool proof and perfect. Sometimes even the best of them are wrong when it comes to prognosis.

    In the meantime, for your sanity, you may want to stay away from the comment sections of the articles relating to your son.......

    Somebody should knock this guy in the head a few times. That is the only thing some people understand.
