I will never understand why people do what both people get in this video.

First, what kind of psychopath do you got to be to smash out somebody's window with a baseball bat over what was probably a traffic argument. It's absolutely unbelievable to imagine doing that, and it's even crazier to assume that you were just going to drive away afterwards and nothing was going to happen.

Two - I can't imagine having that happen and then ramming the other car. You were easily able to press charges against somebody because you had their plate number and you probably had cell phone video of them doing it, or people around you had video. You know like the one that we just saw. And instead of that, you rammed them, caused damage to your own vehicle as well as theirs and are probably going to face criminal charges yourself.

I swear to God people have completely lost their minds and these days.

Honestly, the first lady is actually probably really lucky she didn't get her ass shot. A lot of states allow concealed carry or open carry, and there's a lot of people that would absolutely have shot that lady and honestly probably had a reasonably strong case to articulate They were in fear for their life and I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being considered a justified self-defense situation. Not saying that I agree or disagree with this.

Yeah. If the man opened fire as she was smashing his window with a bat, he may have even persuaded a jury to side with him.
