I flipped a guy off two or three weeks ago because he blew through a four way stop and almost got either of us killed. Well he did a u turn and blew through the stop again and followed me home and yelled at me about how I "shouldn't do that because dangerous people will hurt me" and I asked if he was warning me or threatening me and he said "I'm threatening you" and then shoved me against my car before trying to run me over while I got his license plate number
I still haven't gone to the cops and a small part of why is everybody acts like I'm the fucking asshole. "You shouldn't have done that" from my girlfriend, brother, parents. FUCK YOU. I made a rude gesture because someone did something dangerous that could have gotten someone killed. I'm not the fucking asshole here. Maybe if I weren't male I'd get more sympathy but instead it's like "woops you fucked around and found out" and it's my fault instead of this person being utterly fucking insane.
A friend of mine was shot and killed over a road rage incident. The shooter was illegally carrying the gun, got off with a slap on the wrist. My friend was black, the shooter was white. Happened just outside the city limits of Portland.
Did that incident happen at a Walmart by chance?
Unreal how some can hear stories like this and have faith in 'American values.' Physically sickening how these self-worshipping killers span a continent.
Sorry for your loss, comrade. I sincerely hope you and your friend's family find peace, if not justice.
Asshole tries to kill you, but you're slightly rude to him in response. He responds by trying to kill you again. PLAY STUPID GAMES WIN STUPID PRIZES!!!

Typical liberal mentality. Being uncivil to someone who is a legitimate danger to the lives of others is worse than actually putting people in danger
“Liberals are like dogs, they don’t understand words, only tone”
That is a good one
Idk where it originated but I always hear it in the voice of either Milo or Alice from TF and
I heard it on Chapo from Matt back in 2017 or 2018 but idk if he coined the phrase or not.
yeah see, thanks, eat me
Your assailant is going to hurt or kill another person with his reckless driving. The right answer here is to preserve and protect your life and your family's, as their reprimand was warning not to escalate with the
for your safety as well as theirs.
But what happened to you were crimes. At least Assault and battery, reckless driving, and menacing.
Either way, I hope you never run into this person again. Maybe get a dash cam with a cloud.
Yeah and I'm pretty sure backing his car up at me while I took a picture of his license plate is literally felony assault with a deadly weapon
I thought about going to the police just in case him having a record of this shit might matter or prevent him from hurting someone else but it just, idk, I barely have the energy to live my life and I'm worried it would turn into some draining ordeal that I wouldn't be able to cope with. Idk.
he's probably a pig tbh
Being easily offended:
Classy if you're white or conservative, trashy if you're literally anyone else.
The constitution allows me to shoot at a family of 5 on the highway while we’re both driving 80 miles per hour. It does not allow you to be a special snowflake about “racism”
Tbf that is probably closer to the actual originalist reading of the Constitution
Great example of not being submissive ended up risking your life. The lesson here is to always be submissive.
🥺👉👈
🥺
IDK, you should've shot him for shoving you. That's my take.
Acknowledge the world that you live in, and do the things that you have to, to get by in it.
That would not have resulted in a better outcome than the one they got. Maybe a visible weapon would have gotten the asshole to back off, but escalating to murder is rarely a good time.
I do pretty regularly flip people off on the road when they are acting crazy, but one time a car almost side swiped me and I honked and flipped the driver off as second nature. The young girl driving the car was mortified and I really hated the way I acted. Can't avoid using a car in Amerikkka unfortunately and I see how it can turn people into monsters.
Don't feel bad, you helped teach her a valuable lesson, and she will be less likely to sideswipe people in the future.
I do this, but I'm a pedestrian. Don't care how bad I make anyone in a car feel.
I've taken to either giving them sarcastic double thumbs up followed by a derisive headshake, or just locking eyes and giving them a slow, negative headshake. Disappointment stings harder than insults.
The thumbs up is my go to. In my mind it’s the “wow you’re so good at being shitty!”
👎 may still get you killed with the wrong person, but a little less aggressive while still getting the point across
i'm also a fan of Thumbing one's nose as it communicates derision, but also you look silly doing it so it's comes off more lighthearted
"Do you bite your thumb at me??"
I do bite my thumb at you, sir.
yeah i try to enter a zen state, just like refuse to get mad, because the truth is there's nothing we can do to improve other drivers. Pretty much the only things I do are honk when someone's going the wrong way on a one way and flash my lights when someone's driving dark at night.
Had a similar situation. Stare a guy down and yelled at him to slow down when he blew past us at like 50 mph in my neighborhood while I'm walking with my kid, partner, and dog. The dude slams on his brakes(now he's not in a hurry), says "do that again I'll bust your ass" and flashes his gun. Then my partner was like "you shouldn't have done that". People are insane.
I'm sorry that happened to you and I hope that asshole gets got
Thanks. I've thought about putting a wrench through his windshield since I very easily found where he lives. But i should probably let it go (and also don't know if he owns the car)
Just let it go. I'm not a great example of this, but don't hold grudges against idiots that endanger others for the sake of getting that last word in. That revenge shit, it's not in our hands. Also, the liberal driller is still out and about.
what
Republican politician in a BMW hits a Prius
They both go into parking lot and wait for cops to arrive
Politician decides to ram the Prius and shoots the driver
Prius driver pulls out a Glock, returns fire and kills the politician
He was arrested for similar shit in the past. Except he drove a pickup truck and only brandished the gun at someone

I'm gonna say, wrong. They should 100% continue to hold on to this experience, & use it to guide their actions in the future.
Like, don't get caught, or go to jail, or whatever, but yeah you should trying to do things that will bring harm to your enemies.
benefit: schadenfreude
downside: lifelong blood feud

WRONG!
fed shit? you probably headed to lunch late over at Langley.
Lmao, I make car parts.
No I'm just a genuinely very pissed off person.
You act like no one would ever genuinely do something criminal to their enemies as long as they can 100% get away with it. I’ve passed many houses and cars with thin blue line stickers and I just shake my head and think “if only this was the boonies.”
If you're going to go through a hassle on this, report his ass to the police.
Does some random rager asshole count as an "enemy"? If you could forget about them and nothing they do will ever affect you again that doesn't count, to me.
Def let it go. The urge for retribution is a misguided one.
