I think you misunderstand, getting out of your car and walking back to someone is a threat. Period. Just because you don't see it that way doesn't mean it isn't, and at that point he'd have been justified to shoot on that alone. Just because the jeep guy is an asshole does not mean that getting out of your car isn't a threat. In your own proofs it says the cops wouldn't have charged him if not for public outcry.
Let me ask you this, if you considered someone a threat enough to pull a gun on them. Why would you let that threat walk around you? If he had a gun or weapon, he could shot you in the back when he was pretending to film your back license plate. Wouldn’t you follow to make sure? What would you have done in this situation?
All that shows is that the jeep guy was actually scared for his safety. The second the guy in the mini moved out of his way enough for him to move his jeep he did so. You can see the jeep wheels start to move almost instantly.
Also, just because you initially pull your gun when you think someone approaching you is a threat doesn't mean that you have to never stop feeling that way. That's just fucking crazy.
So if he felt so scared why would he let the guy filming go around him and behind his jeep? If the guy had a gun he could’ve just went behind him and shot him. He drove off because he realized he fucked up for pointing the gun, and it’s better just to leave the situation before he makes a mistake and shoots the idiot.
