Burning truck scene.

Does anyone find it strange or just outright ridiculous that a man would find an upside down truck engulfed in flames with his mother-in-law on the ground next to his obviously injured enemy and completely ignore the obvious just to carryout his premeditated attacks. I believe the average human being would put his/her personal vendetta aside to at least find out what happened before compounding the situation as though nothing happened.

I thought that was strange how he started beating dude's ass,instead of getting medical help. He wasn't doing anything bad to Eileen.

Did you even listen to the movie? That dude in the truck was the guy who
a) Got his girlfriend fired (which is what originally provoked him to go find him and beat him up)
b) Bullied him as a kid
c) Threatened him so he didn't plant corn

Come on man...

As for the OP - it's a movie. Coincidences happen in movies all the time...

I thought that was strange to. his enemy could have died if Eileen did not show up.

I was rather surprised Eileen rescued tanner considering her mistrust of white people.

I think Conner's anger over Tanner's treatment of Lacey superseded any concern he may have felt for him.

That was a flaw in the storytelling. The scene with the overturned truck should have been omitted if TP wanted to show Conner finally standing up to Tanner. The way it played out made Conner look like a jerk instead of a hero who had overcome his fears.

I don't think Conner put two and two together about the truck. He was looking for Tanner and found him almost on top of his mother-in-law. He hit him. But not to offer him help gave him a flaw too, after setting him up as the underdog. All good intentions are thrown out the window when revenge and hate rears it ugly head.

The thing that got me was he was talking about his boy. I don't remember him saying anything about a wife.
He didn't treat they to well before the crash. He didn't treat them much better after the crash.
Maybe a little

No. He didn't like Tanner and was going to find him to fight him and when he did he find him pretty much on top of his MIL. Plus I don't think he would have cared how he found him as long as he wasn't dead.
