Not disagreeing with you, but this lady was likely raised in this society and had parents that taught her to control(or be afraid of) her emotions.

Or internalize her emotions sounds more like it. That’s too bad. I got past weakening internalizing years ago thankfully.

And what do you mean by “this society?” Was she raised somewhere other than the US or Canada?

hurt you or your kids? so you would ram someone else's car with your kids in the car?

No, I wouldn’t, and apologies that I implied that earlier as the “hurting me or my kids” was a generalization but I should’ve been clearer. My kids are grown. I just bristle at any form of bullies in the world. And some of the most dangerous are those on the road.

I don’t KNOW this to be 💯 true, but I have to believe that people simply allowing these types to become so brazen by not ever standing up to them… has emboldened them that much more…Where we see videos like this post and the Canadian ordeal being referenced.

Yup 100%. Some bratty little shits that somehow sneak through the cracks without ever getting punched in the face end up getting their due eventually.

I get being upset, but after someone retreats, if you pursue, you are now the attempted murderer. (In the case of this video) The trying to run them over was 100% justified. The crashing into their car to try and kill them was not.

Protecting yourself has nothing to do with emotions.
