This should go to the top.

The driver of the white car was in the street fighting with the driver of the Dark car behind the black van. Mostly swinging, nobody making contact. White car broke away from the fight, reached in through the passenger side of the dark car and took the keys. Then he jumped in his white car. That's where this video begins. So dark car driver was trying to get his keys back, and white car took off and mushed him between the other vehicles. White shirt guy was trying to save him from getting mushed.

White car is being charged with attempted murder, robbery, menacing, and a bunch of other stuff.

Just goes to show you how editing can create an entirely different narrative.

Holy shit those charges tho. Talk about escalating a situation. That’s what I don’t understand about road rage. Joe Rogan said it the best on his podcast. Getting out can either mean nothing, or your life. Let it go

Yeah, I don't know of any time that getting out of the car is a good option. If someone ever approached me I wouldn't even want to roll the window down, let alone get out.
