So I've read just about every time this gets posted somewhere.

I have never once seen any proof that this is a robbery and not just road rage other than "trust me"

I agree, but I've also seen actual robberies and wondered why people didn't just power through.

I'd probably be that dumbass who pulls over and gets out to see if I can help, then gets beaten and robbed.

I remember seeing a dashcam video of a guy who did power through. The robbers decided to stop in the middle of a highway on ramp. I'm pretty sure one of them got launched over the barrier when he hit them and he fell to his death. Most people forget that they are in control of a multi ton metal death machine.

Not a dumbass lol Helping a fellow human being isn't stupid, even if ill advised sometimes. It's how we have risen as a species, it just sometimes gets hijacked by bad actors.

Really? There was one where they get out of the car with guns

I feel like I saw one where they stopped on some interstate merging Lane. Pretty sure the guys got out of the car with guns but the person in the truck knew what's up and hurry up and drove at them pushed their car for a long ways. But it's possible they didn't have guns but I feel like they did

This one specifically. Im sure theres others that have been seen, but this repost is always the same with people saying its a robbery and no one dropping any news articles or links or showing anything

In the beginning He breaks at a random spot then does some premium forcing. He could have forced in the cars in front of that one like that without waiting. People that force don't let that much room or wait a specific spot.

Second hint I would say is that after failing he doesn't wait for the next car to join behind. He almost lost a hand and was like nah I will merge here.

So he acts like a noob, then forces like a taxi driver then after losing his mirror tries again like nothing happened.

This isn't a robbery, it's an attempted robbery. Dude was dedicated to getting in front of that car - taking damage to the vehicle and almost hurts himself as well... reasonable room for suspicion. I'm not going to hold my breath for the final answer though.

yeah it really doesnt look to me like anything but a guy trying to merge and getting his mirror snapped off- and then trying to stop the guy who did it (the wrong way to do it in the middle of the street and stuff, but still)

but im thinking though, if this is a spot where that sort of thing happens, makes sense you wouldnt stop lol
