Asshole tries to kill you, but you're slightly rude to him in response. He responds by trying to kill you again. PLAY STUPID GAMES WIN STUPID PRIZES!!!

Typical liberal mentality. Being uncivil to someone who is a legitimate danger to the lives of others is worse than actually putting people in danger

A friend of mine was shot and killed over a road rage incident. The shooter was illegally carrying the gun, got off with a slap on the wrist. My friend was black, the shooter was white. Happened just outside the city limits of Portland.

Great example of not being submissive ended up risking your life. The lesson here is to always be submissive.

Your assailant is going to hurt or kill another person with his reckless driving. The right answer here is to preserve and protect your life and your family's, as their reprimand was warning not to escalate with the frothingfash for your safety as well as theirs.

But what happened to you were crimes. At least Assault and battery, reckless driving, and menacing.

Either way, I hope you never run into this person again. Maybe get a dash cam with a cloud.

Yeah and I'm pretty sure backing his car up at me while I took a picture of his license plate is literally felony assault with a deadly weapon

I thought about going to the police just in case him having a record of this shit might matter or prevent him from hurting someone else but it just, idk, I barely have the energy to live my life and I'm worried it would turn into some draining ordeal that I wouldn't be able to cope with. Idk.

I do pretty regularly flip people off on the road when they are acting crazy, but one time a car almost side swiped me and I honked and flipped the driver off as second nature. The young girl driving the car was mortified and I really hated the way I acted. Can't avoid using a car in Amerikkka unfortunately and I see how it can turn people into monsters.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

I do this, but I'm a pedestrian. Don't care how bad I make anyone in a car feel.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

I've taken to either giving them sarcastic double thumbs up followed by a derisive headshake, or just locking eyes and giving them a slow, negative headshake. Disappointment stings harder than insults.

Don't feel bad, you helped teach her a valuable lesson, and she will be less likely to sideswipe people in the future.

IDK, you should've shot him for shoving you. That's my take.

Acknowledge the world that you live in, and do the things that you have to, to get by in it.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

Thanks. I've thought about putting a wrench through his windshield since I very easily found where he lives. But i should probably let it go (and also don't know if he owns the car)

[-] [email protected] 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Just let it go. I'm not a great example of this, but don't hold grudges against idiots that endanger others for the sake of getting that last word in. That revenge shit, it's not in our hands. Also, the liberal driller is still out and about.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

I'm gonna say, wrong. They should 100% continue to hold on to this experience, & use it to guide their actions in the future.

Like, don't get caught, or go to jail, or whatever, but yeah you should trying to do things that will bring harm to your enemies.

Sightly related to the road rage stuff.

I tend to drive very conservatively when it comes to acceleration. I have a hybrid and I love getting 50-60mpg, plus I find that my slow acceleration often makes it so I don't get caught at red lights; all the while people who punch it end up hurrying up only to wait. So and way, had a guy in an F150 passing me pretty aggressively recently, but as he does so I hear a scraping and banging sound. I look left to see his kayak skidding down the road next to me.

Whenever I see someone speed around other cars I think,

Damn, he gets to stop at the light first

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

I’m better at going than the person ahead of me at the light, I want to go first so I’m not stuck behind grandma as she swerves down the road 10 miles under the speed limit

I mean, it’s dangerous, but wrt driving 10mph: the lights are usually synced, so if you’re consistently slow you’re going to run into more red lights where you could’ve made it through by a wide margin if you were going 20. It’s also not just you and another car on the road. It’s going to effect the cars all the way back through the line not to mention the dangerous swerving from everyone else who needs to get to work by 7 or be subject to their boss’s narcissistic tirade.

The quote comes from a science fiction novel called 'Beyond This Horizon.' Written by Robert A. Heinlein.

In the book, the government encourages particular couples to wed because of eugenics. A waiter spilling soup in a restaurant leads to a gunfight.

Heinlein loved throwing crazy idea around.

I guess that's one way to say he was a fascist.

It's time for more "Deep Thoughts with Heinlein". "Human society brainwashes us into accepting artificial limitations on our lives and our choices. This is wrong! Love should be free, and without limit. Unless it's gay of course!" And that concludes our "Deep Thoughts with Heinlein.

Oh but the second someone nominally leftie shoots a republican fascist at a baseball game everyone wants gun control. Not when a white boater kulak shoots a black mom of three in the back for being rude to him at a gas station.

The fact that "road rage shootings" are a thing in the US is so fucked up. You can just get executed in broad daylight by a random lunatic because both of you are so alienated from one another through your individual metal boxes that a mild annoyance is enough for people to reach for a lethal weapon.

It's stressful how mad everyone in Texas is too. Especially while driving. If they're delayed 5 seconds, it's grounds for a shouting and slurs. If they're delayed 1 minute or more, a gun comes out. Everyone here needs to go as fast as possible while visibly armed.

I was fixing my bike on the sidewalk in a suburb about a year ago and two guys with guns came out to threaten me, told me I was acting suspicious. I have a feeling if I weren't white I'd have been shot. I've also had drivers in big trucks tap me from behind while biking.

My cousin once shot at a lost driver who was simply using his driveway to turn around. He carries an actual SMG to meet UPS at the door too. Everyone's paranoid that a civil war will erupt at any moment. Pure narcissistic lily white panic.
