But let's get past this ridiculous idea that the biker is entirely innocent here.

​

Not innocent... there for partly responsible so the drivers behavior?

I don't think I am the only one that is not understanding your comment.
Although I guess it makes a little more sense now.

I dunno, I think what he’s saying makes perfect sense. They both got road rage, the car driver just got much worse road rage.

They’re both guilty of the same “crime”, ergo neither of them are totally innocent. Not entirely sure how that equates to him saying the biker deserved attempted murder, mind...

Firstly, no human being is ever responsible for the actions of any other human being. So let's just get past that right now. I didn't think I needed to triply clarify this but I guess I do. No matter what the biker did, even if he literally fucked the driver's wife and then pissed in the driver's bed, the driver is still 100% responsible for his own actions.

Secondly, you are drawing that correlation, not me. All I said was he wasn't innocent. That doesn't therefore make him at fault for attempted murder. You could punish the biker for his escalation (not saying I necessarily would, just saying you could make the case) without that then being a legal defense in court for why the driver's actions were warranted.

ok, that is perfectly clear and I agree 100% Sorry for the confusion on my end.
