Reminds me of a few "lessons" I've taught over the years. Recently, some moron in his shiny new 'Vette nearly put me into the cement divider on the freeway. I saw him coming up behind me weaving in and out of lanes and he almost took my bumper off when he cut in front of me. I caught his attention with some sign language and creative horn beeping and agreed to his invitation to pull over on the side of the freeway. I found a nice gravelly spot and waited as he pulled up behind me and exited his vehicle. Just as he was clearing the front of it, I nailed it! There's something beautiful about a rear-wheel drive Grand Marquis spewing clouds of gravel and debris all over anything behind it. Thanks to some well timed power-braking and my rear-view mirror, I was able to observe his newly decorated paint job as I departed the scene.

Maybe his road rage will affect a little old lady next time, in any case this guy was unglued and that needed to be addressed.rDigital wrote:Gun goes in the holster.
Ego goes in the safe.
How it was/is addressed is another matter.

Not gonna say I fixed it for you, but maybe, enhanced it for you. Actually the chapter is pretty good as a whole.concreteguy wrote:2 things. I'm also curious about about the dash cam equipment. I believe Pr. 24:3-4 would be appropriate in this situation.

If someone is tail gating or brake testing, etc., being met with a good "you're acting stupid" or a figurative gesture of such doesn't seem to be "escalating" -- it seems to be same level.
If the road rager then decides that he's going to teach the person a lesson that is doing nothing more than he is doing, then it would again seem to me that the road rager is the escalator.
Are escalation or de-escalation the only two alternatives. Is there not a third alternative of "same level of action"?
(I'm not arguing that the one with the gun shouldn't attempt to do everything possible to de-escalate. That's just smart. But......from a legal perspective, why can't you tell someone they're acting like a jerk, if indeed they are, just because you're carrying a gun?)

Criticism of the government and advocacy of unpopular ideas that people may find distasteful or trevers public policy are almost always permitted. There are exceptions to these general protections, including the Miller test for obscenity, child pornography laws, speech that incites imminent lawless action, and regulation of commercial speech such as advertising. Within these limited areas, other limitations on free speech balance rights to free speech and other rights, such as rights for authors over their works (copyright), protection from imminent or potential violence against particular persons (restrictions on the use of untruths to harm others (slander). Distinctions are often made between speech and other acts which may have symbolic significance.
