road rage start serious guy get out he's
mad because the guy in the Range Rover
apparently uh in a they had a right away
problem an emerging situation and they
had like a fender bender and the guy in
the poor says that this guy ran off and
he didn't stop for him whereas the other
guy said no we did stop and you can see
there they did stop and pull over and so
now he's going to get mad about it and
start bashing in the doors and you know
telling that guy to heck out if we
wanted him to stop it's going to smash
the side of you mirror here the guy
inside 70 years old starts to roll or 71
starts to roll down his window and gets
punched for his effort while this guy
just continues to kick the crap out of
his Range Rover tears off the the rear
windshield wiper you know out of it and
he's going to continue to beat this car
up for some time
now again he's going to get the door
open on the passenger side there and and
of course then he's going to assault the
passenger in there and our driver is
going to start to jump out and go yo man
can't do that stuff so he's going to
slam that door and want to come around
and again across this 71 year old driver
who's going to jump in the car and
thankfully at that moment lock his doors
go read the news story that I have
Linked In the description the guy's
employer this went viral on social media
and this guy who is the aggressor his
employer found it and fired him for
conduct Unbecoming he's also got
multiple charges for assault against the
driver assault against the passenger and
then you know the property crimes of
doing all this damage all of this comes
from a fender bender that he got
completely pissed off about because he
didn't feel like the guy pulled over
fast enough thankfully neither of the
victims were badly injured we're going
to think about lessons

number one lesson is always is road rage
is stupid control your emotions friends
you can't just get just get us wrapped
around the axle about your car man okay
so fine some guys got in a wreck
whatever you should have good enough
insurance on your car that even if
somebody hits and runs you you call your
insurance company they fix it and that's
where the problem is now this right here
this could certainly be seen already as
an assault quite frankly from a legal
perspective because it puts the
occupants inside the vehicle at fear
that they are about to be harmed now if
you're 71 years old does that mean wait
a minute that elderly status means I'm
medically frail and if this big strong
man assaults me I might fear fear that
it's going to put me in the hospital
great bodily harm well yeah that could
be the case but remember that's a
case-by-case basis and so be cautious
with that I think the better thing to do
keep the doors up keep the windows up
lock the doors so even though this angry
guy's beating the tar out of your car
you're on the phone with 9-1-1 saying
hey I need some police presence here
right now instead our dude rolls the
window down you roll the window down you
have defeated the barrier that's keeping
you safe in that moment you've got to
keep your windows up and not just up all
the way up if you need to communicate
with them you can communicate through
the glass of course it's a different
world if police officer pulls you over
whatever but in this kind of situation
keep the window up because otherwise
this guy punches you in the face
and I again depending on where you are
in the world I wouldn't recommend doing
that an elderly person might consider
that and rightly consider that a threat
of great bodily harm you end up getting
shot doing stupid stuff like that now of
course he's also willfully destroying
the guy's properties doing thousands of
dollars of damage to his vehicle and
doing that and that's morally repugnant
right this is the stupidest kind of
thing I could ever imagine don't be this
kind of guy this this is just
egregiously stupid next thing not just
don't roll your windows down lock your
stinking doors when you leave the doors
open once again you defeat the barrier
or you allow him to easily defeat the
barrier that is keeping him from
assaulting you and so roll the windows
up lock the doors you should do that
every time you get in the car some cars
though are built that when you stop them
or when you put them in park the doors
automatically unlock if that's the case
defeat that measure take turn that off
you can almost always turn that off in
the vehicle settings you want to be the
one that is doing that and instead keep
your doors locked keep your windows up
and that keeps that guy from you
now then him having breached that and
and our our victim then coming out and
around here is the place quite frankly
given everything that this guy is doing
then this elderly gentleman if he had a
firearm here I think that he probably
could articulate a fear of death or
great bodily harm because again this
guy's super angry he is you know has
been kicking in stuff and and has
threatened me and called me all kinds of
names I'm 70 years old I figured he was
going to beat the tar out of me and I
you know couldn't do all that now you
know I felt like he was going to put me
in the hospital and so I shot him I
think that that kind of articulation is
probably reasonable and that he has
objective reasonable evidence for that
so so now there's a difference though
here between can I shoot someone and
must I shoot someone because the
preclusion that he has here that now
preclusion is that idea of did you have
anything else you could have done that
was a better idea is simply to get back
in his car so he has that idea of wait a
minute I have something else that I
could do that would keep me just as safe
as using deadly harm and in this
particular case case that would just be
getting back in the car now that's what
he does gets in the car locks the doors
that was a very good choice but I know
some folks are going to ask about that
you know could he or was it objectively
reasonable and and depending on your
jurisdiction he might could have gotten
away with that it's in the idea of can I
shoot somebody which I think is the
wrong question the question we got to
ask is must I and instead he gets in the
car lets him beat the car up now for the
other last bit here look at all the
bystanders if I'm a bystander here they
got this crazy violent dude around there
man get the license plate numbers get on
the phone be a good witness don't try to
get in the middle of this because this
guy can turn his anger on you in a hot
second I would not recommend being that
person either but maybe being at the the
very edge of it that in case something
really bad happens and he starts you
know taking that elderly gentleman to
town or whatever maybe then you got to
step in but be cautious of that don't be
a road raging Idiot Friends and when
you're encountering one make sure you
cover your asp
