Yeah, I got cut off or blocked at least 3 times on my way home from work yesterday - and it’s only a 15-minute drive, lol. If I stopped my car on the FREEWAY and confronted everyone who did that here, I’d be dead or in jail by now.

Neither condoning nor condemning that action, just saying.
Here is an actual, real-life example in a state with actual stand your ground laws that the defense attempted to use. The shooter got manslaughter.

SYG is not "carte blanche" to just gun someone down for yelling at you and then saying "I felt threatened".
I'm sure there are several people sitting in prison right now that thought it did.

Yeah that is a good idea. We don't seem to have enough people assaulting each other like anymore like the good ole days.

What happened to civility? These two idiots deserve messed up vehicles and their licenses revoked.

Open your eyes. You seem short on common sense.
You don’t know if the guy in the Escape did anything to provoke him, for all we know he could have tried running him off of the road 5 miles back. Obviously the girl taking video of it with her phone must have seen something, which is why she picked up her phone and started recording it.

And anything the cops can do, any of us can do. Can't have two different standards for different people. If that's the deal, then the government isn't legit anyway, there is no legitimate law, and you don't have to obey it.

No, you don't have a clue.

Cops are not special people endowed with special natural rights. They have only the same right YOU do or I do or anyone else has got.

So if THEY can shoot someone because they were in fear for their life, and that's all it takes...then so can YOU or ME.

This happened near us. A guy cut another guy off. The cut of guy got out at a light and went to go yell and beat his chest at the cutter offer. Cutter offer (we will call him Johnny Mack) panicked and shot him twice. Cutter offer got 15 years. Cut off guy left a wife and 4 year old girl with no daddy. Stupid and sad all around.

If someone wants to yell at me and beat their chest, I just agree with them. Yup I am stupid and a ****ty driver. You are right I should not be driving. I am the dumbest person you will ever see. Hope your day goes better and you do not encounter any more idiots like me. Bye bye.


I do nto care who was really at fault or who really did the stupid thing. It is irrelevant. Costs me nothing. No one dies, no one goes to prison, No orphans or ruined lives over pure stupidity.
