At a Fresno gas station, a 54-year-old man yelled that he was Jesus Christ before ramming his truck into a PG&E worker, pinning him against a utility truck. When a nearby woman came to the victim's aide, the driver smothered her in a bear hug while screaming about some racist, Jesusy agenda to rid the world of black people.

That's when a hitchhiker – identified simply as Kai – sprang in with a hatchet.
