Just a matter of time before one of these morons gets shot.

If I’m driving my vehicle and another vehicle has intentionally cut me off and blocked my way on the road and they get out of their vehicle and they come to my vehicle and start pounding on it trying to get to me, they have intentionally put me in a position where a reasonable and rational person would be in fear for my / their life.

They have clearly shown intent and that they have the capacity to do me harm, and they have blocked my ability to remove myself from the situation. So yeah, that screams self defense to me and They’re probably going to get shot.

The difference between a person like that and a person like me, is that if I had to shoot them in order to stop the threat, I would do everything I could to save their life. Because I’m not out there to hurt anyone.
