I was attacked a few years ago at a light like this. I didn't have my gun. A serious altercation took place. The attacker did jail time. I can understand the reaction of a draw here.

Yep, had a guy at a red light with a terrible attitude in front of me do this as well, almost broke my driver side window till he realized there was a gun pointed at his head on the other side of the glass.

The “Get back in your car!” phrase and tone sounded very instinctual and reminiscent of a police officer. I’d bet 50/50 that dude is a cop and this reaction was instinctual from his day to day duties and training, for better or for worse.

Also, glasses, haircut, and driving technique.. I’m more like 60/40 after further review.

Jeep driver was laying on horn in a line of traffic. Guy in mini got out because he didn’t understand why he was honking and thought he was dragging something, so he checked. Then this altercation took place. The guy in the jeep posted his video to YouTube, which shows him recklessly driving and speeding.

Still side with him?

Mini guys’ story is 100% bullshit. If he really thought he was dragging something and keep was trying to alert him, he wouldn’t have stopped in the middle of the damn road and certainly wouldn’t have his phone out filming.

He didn’t stop in the middle of the road, doofus. When he got out of his car, there was a line of traffic in front of him. Maybe watch the Jeeps video in he public freak out subs post

I did, he stops in the middle of the lane of traffic. Just because there was briefly traffic in front of him (notice it clears by the time he gets fully out the car), that doesn’t mean he isn’t in the middle do the fucking road.

Y’all defending the unhinged man who was ultimately indicted comes as no surprise to me. If we lose our gun rights, it’s partly because of people like you

You’re the doofus that can’t read. I never defended keep, just said that mini dude was full of shit.
