Now, could be...could be...Yes but it wasn't and as far as we know from what is reported the suspect was not injured either...except for his ego and perhaps his psyche to allow rage to dictate his actions.

This was not an act of justice. This was an act or revenge out of anger.
Next time write his license and call the CHP.

You know if a person wanted to exact an equivative revenge wouldn't shooting the guys car be more reciprocal?

BTW did any of you guys consider that MORE than the driver could have been injured by that bullet? A complete innocent could have been killed or maimed.

There is no justifcation. The last assessement was correct, they are both idiots and I venture to suggest the shooter was just as much an inconsiderate jerk as the other guy

BTW this kind of stuff happens a lot on the highways of California...even the slighest "dis" or what the person thinks was a dis merits an attempted murder by people are are just as much jerks themselves. I just don't think any of us are qualified to say who deserves what, particularly before all the facts are in weighed. That is why vigilante justice is illegal

I don't understand why folks drive under the speed limit in the far left lane of a 4 lane Hwy!

I don't understand how a person can be driving slower than me and then when I go to pass them, they speed up!

I guess it is a good thing I don't carry a firearm in my vehicle!

I hope the idiot learns his lesson. I am sure this was not the first time this person was an inconsiderate driver!!!

I understand the sentiment, I really do.

I think some of what was said was tongue in cheek and no one encourages shooting other drivers...though at times...

I encountered an idiot drunk driver out here on 301, 3 calls to 911 by mutliple drivers and 15 miles of following this guy and not a single patrol car showed up, even though they were getting mutliple calls that the guy was drunk and all over the road. Makes you want to take matters into your own hands.

The dumb dumb that got shot for pulling out in front of someone, causing that someone to go off of the road (maybe eve nearly wrecked), the dummy that caused all of that got what he had coming to him.

I can almost guarantee that was NOT his first time being inconsiderate.

He has reaped what he has no doubt sowed and I am glad for the God's Mercy in sparing the lives of the one who almost went off the road and the one who was shot.



How different would this thread be if it was your relative who was driven off the road and that person's vehicle flipped over-- all because someone else was an idiot!!!

The guy who was shot will find no pity from me-- not one iota!

I am glad he is alive.

As I have said before, I really side with you on this.

You can't praise the actions directly or indirectly of someone then implicate that person as an idiot for what he did and come away sounding sane or in then very least sounding like you are trying damage control

Praxeas,
I am not doing damage control because I have not been contradictory in any of my posts. I did not call any angel an idiot. You read my post wrong.


I do not think gun violence is an "acceptable" way to deal with idiot drivers.

But when it happens, and it does not include the loss of life, I think of every idiot that drives on the roads in my area and think back to every time I thought about taking matters into my own hands.

I don't feel sorry for the guy who was shot. I feel no pity for him, nada.

Of course I have never shot anyone for driving badly. I don't advocate it. But I don't back down from my assertion that the idiot driver who was shot in the arm probably got what he deserved.

I am glad the idiot was shot in the arm and not anywhere else.


Again I ask, if it had been one of our relatives who was run off the road and our relative's car flipped or crashed into a tree, killing the occupants, our thoughts would be different.

Im waiting for the smiley face or admission it was TIC.

If he is not an angel, I hope he realizes that violence was not the proper response and that he learns to practice a bit of self control before he becomes worse than the idiot driver.

I hope he is NEVER caught!

This is where I will have to disagree. I appreciate the frustration of this particular driver; however, I do not think he will change his behavior if he doesn't get help with the frustration of the idiots who constantly cuts him off.

Unless you want to admit half of what you said was realy TIC then you DID in fact contradict yourself

And as Renda said, we don't know all the facts of what happened. That is again why vigilante justice is illegal.
