Usually, no. That also has to do with the fact that I ride my bike the majority of the time, now.

About 8 years ago a friend and I were driving in Atlanta looking for an address of some girls we met on spring break. While pulling up to a red light, this older car with dark tinted windows pulls up along side of us. The next thing I know the window goes down and some Jerry Springer Redneck starts cussing and pitching a hellacious fit. My friend who was driving unrolled his window and the guy is saying we looked at his girlfriend (wtf). The light turns green and we get stopped at the next red light. The redneck then pulls up along side of us and gets out of his car and hits the window on the drivers side of our car.

At this point my friend looses it. He gets out of the car and litterly shoves his fathers .357 revoler down the guys throat! He cocked the trigger and tells him, "Its time to die". The girl friend gets out of the car screaming. Blood is comming out of his mouth where he probably got a tooth or two knocked out from the gun being slammed violently into his mouth and I'm still trying to figure out what the hell is happening.

My friend then says its your lucky day and tells the guy to get into his car and drive off. He does while my friend points the gun at him the whole time.

We left Atlanta then after. My friend said later he felt the gun busting through part of his teeth. To this day I have never seen him loose it like he did that night.

The point is that people have different breaking points and varying degrees of vengance once the breaking point is reached. Some flip birds, some break your front teeth out while shoving a gun down your throat. I remember reading about a guy who took a cross-bow, shot and killed another driver with it.

As my Japanese friend tells me all the time "Be Safe".

He should not be carrying a gun..


I disagree. I think the redneck should not be allowed to drive. While illegal (almost certainly), I find this exactly what should happen to a$$holes and idiots. If force is all they understand, use it. It teaches them a nice lesson they can remember.

I never do. I smile to myself and think, "he must have something important to do, or he's an ass-hat."
