Here in kentucky, a guy pulled a bat out of his trunk and started pummeling the windshield of the other guys car. The other guy pulled out a gun and, from his driver seat, shot the guy dead.
They brought charges against the driver because he instigated the whole road rage incident. He was found not guilty.
Moral of the story: Never bring a bat to a gunfight and, critically, don’t pull out the bat in the first place.
An armed society is a polite society. If you think the other guy may have a gun, and the legal right to use it if you physically threaten him, you may not pull out the bat...
I don’t get road rage.
Most people speed and peel in and out of traffic for a few feet only to be stopped at the next red light.
I saw a guy get beep his horn at an intersection at a motorist in front of him.
The motorist in front could not turn due to heavy traffic. Dude in the back kept laying on his horn.
Finally the motorist in the front gave the guy the bird behind him.
Dude in the back gets out of his car and as soon as he gets to the window, dude in front pulls a guy and sticks it in the guys face. I LOL’d as the dude fell to the ground who was outside trying to escalate the situation.
It helps to have dashcams these days. All of my cars have them. Folks are wild.
