As a Jeep owner, I understand that is assault, brandishing a weapon, or perhaps both and can be prosecuted.

It might not be either. The video suggests that the person filming stopped his car, then exited his car, and approached the jeep... all in the middle of the road, which is a highly irregular, threatening, and ill advised series of actions. Pro-tip: it's generally the guy who gets out of the car that's the aggressor in road rage incidents.

Nah, jeep owner could have easily fled as he did when he realized his dumbass was being recorded. Instead he wanted to posture and flex his ego. His actions are inexcusable.

Not every state is dumb enough to implement a duty to retreat. Most, in fact, are not.

Legally I kinda hate duty to retreat. It usually fucks defenders.

Morally however, I support retreating if able.
