People who fail to signal are unsociable, possibly, anti-social.

In the case of the Chinese, just bat scat crazy.

This weekend we took a drive to a nearby town and witnessed road rage for the first time. Two drivers, going 75+ miles an hour, were trying to run each other off the road on a two lane freeway. They did this for about 5 miles, slowing traffic to a crawl behind them because no one dared get near them.

They finally both exited the road. I never saw what happened after they got off the exit.

Some people are just crazy behind the wheel of a 2 ton vehicle.

Please tell me more about how you personally know him to make such detailed value judgments of an individual.

If someone followed me to my house after aggressive driving you bet your ass I would be on high alert. Especially is my wife or kids were inside.

This is just another example of when you play stupid games you sometimes win stupid prizes.

But as the posters so stated you arent supposed to go home. You have to go to the police station. Which in this didnt happen.

The situation here is one man has pulled into hos driveway at his home. Another man is out his car coming at him.

And people have a problem finding how that may be fearful to the person at his home.

Seems like a lot of Monday morning quarterbacking to me.

The same thing could have happened in the police parking lot. Who even knows how far from the police station he was. It could have been on the other side of town during commute time, being stuck in traffic while someone is threatening you is not a safe place. Not to mention no one should not be allowed to go to their home for a fear of it inciting a poor decision for another person.

What happens when two victims of testosterone poisoning meet...

Are you implying that this was a "good shoot"?

If someone has road rage and follows me to my house and get out of their car to confront me I would have a reasonable fear for my life.

More details are still needed, but the basic premise of the incident seems like a good shoot.

The ex husband of a niece on my wife's side killed a man in almost the exact same circumstances. He got 20 years.
