Argument not found.

The two SUVs, friends of each other, decide to get off of the Intersate and get gas. Police say the driver of the minivan, 53-year-old Su Hong Springer, also from Tennessee, followed them and showed a gun at the gas station.

"A passenger in the backseat of the Nissan Rogue sees the gun, feels threatened and pops off a couple of rounds," said Officer Virgil Willoughby of the Elizabethtown Police Department. "One round striking Mr. Springer, he's currently listed in critical condition."

The suspected shooter, 24-year-old Howard Wright of Memphis, TN, has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

According to Willoughby, Kentucky law states if someone presents a handgun, you have the right to defend yourself. It's a thought that has area residents concerned.

None of them are standard police that walk the street, they are either outside a court station or the houses or parliament or at an airport, or in an Armed response unit. Also I thought I was on your ignore list?!

Did you read the entire article? The hopefully soon to be departed douche was following them in an agressive manner (tailgating) then followed them off the road when they stopped to get gas and displayed a weapon. His previous actions indicated his intentions weren't to spark up a pleasant conversation over firearms, he was a threat that was dealt with appropriately, period.

I don't see anything about tailgating or aggression in the article. It is very poorly written

Wound them? Sure. Kill them? No.

WHile not the most well written why don't you click on the link and read the whole thing, with your eyes open preferrably...

"According to Elizabethtown Police, it started April 17 around the Glendale area on Interstate 65 where there is heavy road construction. Investigators say two SUV's were headed north from Tennessee when a minivan started tailgating them."

Ahh, I did not spot that, that being said, jumping from he's tailgating me to he's going to kill me is a big step. However without any further information I can't really comment.

Even your simple mind should be able to follow the trail here...

tailgating...follow you off the road...pull a gun out...?

Any sane person would not believe he wanted to chat about the weather or any other mundane topic, I know common sense isn't your strong point but can you really not see the logic here?

Absolutely, but I don't like to make assumptions, If you want to argue hypothetically about what we think took place I'm happy to do that, but without knowing exactly what happened I can't argue based on the OP.

Fucking road rage, how do you work?

Also, riding with people that have road rage is scary as hell, I'm glad there's one less rager on the road.
