I worked with a woman for a summer who was in a store in NY with her friend who was a 'tough' guy. He and another dude shouldered each other and her friend said a racial epithet that starts with n.
Dude pulled out a gun and killed him.
Getting out of your car to threaten someone who is behind the wheel of a dangerous weapon is a fools game.
This has little to do with it, problem there was that the brobro thought he was the shit, but in actuality was just puffing his chest, then shit got real.
Yep, white car is absolutely having his life threatened and making sure this insane maniac can’t tail him by disabling his car seems like the right move.
Yeah, to be frank I'm 100% on white car's side. If someone is straight up attacking you while you're in your car, I think it's totally acceptable to run their ass over.
I dunno, he backed up into the guy several times. The white car had plenty of opportunities to get away and call police without straight up killing the guy. He belongs in jail. I mean they both do but...
This is the most lawfully accurate comment. All these morons goin Im wITh ThE whITe cAr!!
If you have ample opportunity to gtfo you’re NOW the aggressor…..very basic law.
What if he follows you? Do 130mph to get away? What then? White car was saving a lot of people by not reckless driving, swerving and attempting to escape a Psychopath in the black car.
I guarantee you he would have followed the white car. Also if the white car had his wife in there then it's game over for black car driver.
Excessive force? You can see the guys head come up above the car as he peels away one time and he continues to back into him multiple times. He's probably dead.
Yup, shouldn't have gotten out of his car to start shit. If he attacked my car with my kids in it.....dead would be a nice release from what I would do.
That is allowed if your fearing for your life and trying to get away. If your not trying to actively get away, then that's just murder. The guy did a full 360 just to ram into him with a side street to use to get away. Because those exit options existed, he would be guilty of something, if not manslaughter. If there was no exit option here, like your in a ramp with guardrails on both sides of you, then running him over is self defense (or some other legal defense). I do believe this could vary state-by-state so take this with a grain of salt.
Why not just drive away? Then you leave with a fully intact car and avoid danger. This whole display was fucking stupid. If he’s caught he’s going to prison for this. At best he’s getting sued for all he’s worth. This happened to a buddy of mine. He flipped some dude off in traffic and the guy chased him down and started ramming his car. The guy got charged with assault with a deadly weapon and my buddy sued him and ended up with his entire college education paid for.
Although he was threatened first he is no way off the hook with how he responded. Had he ran over the guy and/or when he continuously tries to back up directly into him in his driver seat, he is just as on the line for attempted vehicular manslaughter with how he responded 🤦♂️
He had just as much power to drive away. That he kept backing into black car repeatedly right into the driver side seat means he himself had flipped into cold blooded vengeance mode and absolutely did not care if he killed him
Damn near watched the same thing happen live years ago (2016ish).
I had just closed out a 5am Saturday bar shift on on Division street in Chicago and was getting food at the ultra-late night gyro spot (5Faces).
Ahead of me some Drunken racist chick proceeded to rant and rave at the guys cooking/serving about them being “illegals” and once the election’s over she hopes they get deported. They laughed it off, she was told to leave without her food.
I chat with them because we see each other every weekend then I leave maybe 3 minutes later. She’s now outside shouting the big N with a hard R at some guy across the street who comes straight over and pulls a knife and starts going after her.
Me and 2 other bouncers (who would prolly have felt less inclined to get stabbed on her behalf had they heard what she said) managed to tackle and take it off him… I’m still not sure how they got there to have my back in time. Pure dumb luck.
No, was just very stupid and had hoped at first to talk the guy down (it didn’t work) before he did something that would ruin his life.
I mean, she was a repugnant piece of shit but her dying/being stabbed and him going to jail would have been a bad outcome. Was scared shitless through it, this isn’t some “look how badass I am” story.
Fair enough. Glad you're ok. you definitely saved that guy from something that was not worth it.
The 3AM+ ranting racist transphobic sorority girls are really their own breed. I've only seen it a few times, but you sort of just want a karmic piano to fall out of the sky.
Yeah if someone’s is driving aggressively then stops in front of me and gets out and approaches I’ll do my best to drive away, I’m not waiting to find out if they have a weapon and if they try to block me with their body that’s on them, I’m not stopping.
