I guess I better stop mouthing off when someone does something stupid in front or behind me in a car. I would have either drove to a public area, the nearest Police Station, or call if someone was following me. If they did do something, then I think I would not hesitate to fight back if necessary. People are whack jobs today, you really have to stay alert and pay attention to your surroundings. Nice if I could carry a weapon in Marylifornia; I should take a defense class so I can protect myself. Nice to do some ass kicking if needed....

JJ wins the prize! #3! According to the account by the man's wife, these wackos basically beat themselves up, and tried to attack her husband.


The Mothers Day incident is Karma, IMHO.

From Fonzy's article:
Stackhouse is the former president of the Human Dignity Coalition -
Quote:
Human Dignity Coalition believes all people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Help us create a Central Oregon community where LGBTQ people are valued and treated equally.
Dignity for me, not thee

First caller after an incident gets to be the complainant and have their version accepted as initially true.

Great...so now he has to go and beat the crap out of anyone within that population so as to prove he's not giving these two "special treatment"?

Plenty folks have gotten hurt or died needlessly over road rage.
Reminds me of this one which happened closeby
http://www.northwestgeorgianews.com/...78bedf469.html

Goes to show it’s really not worth it.
I remember driving a bunch of foreign Jumpmaster when a pickup broke solid line, passed me, and hit the brake. The driver got out, appeared a little surprised I was in uniform, then cussed me out and berated me over a rolling stop at a previous stop sign. I just nodded. He got back in, drove in front for the next 20 min or so, then sped up while turning at the next stop sign. Effectively ignoring his own advice. I should have recorded the plate and reported it. Quite amusing the foreign JM couldn’t believe a civilian could pull that off. I suppose such stunt would result in a certain outcome where they came from.

It’s really not worth it to confront in person these folks with poor impulse control no matter how a** holish their actions are.

This article illustrates especially in the age of social media shaming, the notoriety is absolutely not worth it.

Sir, such a true statement, and in this day and age of cameras, me thinks it is better to have, than have not.


Recently while in Colorado practicing my shooting, I was lucky enough to be a passenger inside a vehicle that had a dash mounted camera that recorded everything in front of it on video.

Everything. Only downside is when exiting the vehicle, you have to remember to turn it off, or it runs the battery down.

It is my official next purchase, and can highly recommend.

Road Rage is real. And stupid people are out there in droves!


Strange times we live indeed.

LOL...But wait, he was not giving them "special treatment" you have to ask yourself, did he beat up the soon to be "She-Husband"? Wouldn't that qualify as really beating up the "masculine" one?

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

No, it just didn’t pass the sniff fest.

Hopefully the real ‘victim’ sues and wins against these two.

This has nothing to do with "gender equality" and everything to do with douche baggery all the way around.
