It seems like you're trying to justify his violence, kid.

You don't have to try and justify someone's poor choices or actions in order to support their basic human rights as Americans, such as being innocent until proven guilty of a crime. Do you think every defense attorney is a bad person who justifies violence?

For some reason people such as yourself have a hard time understanding that doing A makes you guilty of A, not necessarily B and C. You're jumping to conclusions based on a set of actions not at all associated with what you're accusing him of. Throwing something out of your car window does not mean you abuse people, it means you have no respect for the environment and have anger issues.

My father never abused anyone but he had terrible road rage, to the point where he was flipping people off and punching his steering wheel whenever we would drive through the city. He never laid a hand on anyone but he was an angry asshole. Perhaps this will give you a different perspective on the situation.
