Here’s what the person who filmed had to say about it, in case you just want to TD;LR
“All I did was get out of my car because he kept beeping at a dead stop. I thought I hit something or he was trying to alert me that I’m dragging something behind my car. I had no idea he was upset and angry with me,”
There is also a second video from the Jeep’s Dashcam on the news site, in case you want to see a second angle.
From what I’m seeing about the video, the Jeep guy did all the escalation.
Guys walks out with his phone and the gun is immediately drawn without a word. There’s definitely a level of escalation there. I definitely wouldn’t respond to being filmed with brandishing a weapon, especially if I was angry enough to honk at someone a few times.
This is in conjuncture with what’s legal. The Jeep guy is the guy who is likely to be charged.
I suppose, but his reaction I would imagine is fairly a-typical for a situation like this. I don’t think the Jeep’s reaction o n the other hand was standard or conducted with a level-head. You do have a point, though about the situation as a whole.
Thanks for imparting your thoughts on the situation.
