and the kids. no rodents, though.

wait, i'm confused. that statement is contradictory...were the rug rats with you or not?

anyway...glad to hear the situation turned out OK.

i would chastize you for saying anything to the guy in the first place, but i have to admit i have done the same thing in the past. sometimes it is really hard to just let crap like that slide.

i mean somebody has to let these a-holes know they are a-holes...otherwise they'll go through their entire life without realizing what a-holes they are. of course, the truth is that they won't own up to it anyway. so i guess it really is better to just walk away--but, frankly, that philosophy is turning america into a society full of a-holes who don't even realize they are a-holes...

i also gotta say i don't know how you can put up with being the object of racist BS like that...i'm not sure i could handle it without mashing the guy into pulp.

+1. Congats on the outcome!

Please dont take this as personal criticism, but you shoulda just stayed in your vehicle instead of addressing the guy's driving habits.

Dont get me wrong... I'm all for more stupid drivers getting shot lol.. But there are other ways to get "even".

You know those "Report a litterbug" and "Report a DUI" signs? ...take note of a new looking piece of garbage along the road and give the operator the driver's license plate number.

Glad you all are safe though and no legal issues came abouts from it.

Good job man! There are parts of Scranton that are getting really shady, but there are insane racist assclowns like this everywhere.

Glad everyone is ok. One question though: Why weren't you carrying either OC or CC?

i was carrying, CC. i keep one on me, and one in the van. the exchange we had while i was on foot didn't warrant me pulling a gun on him. it wasn't until he tried to get into my van that i thought it might be necessary. the gun under the seat was easier to get to, that's all.

[knight0334]

you're absolutely right. i even said so here:

i know i should've stayed in my van. but, with the speed this guy was driving through a parking lot, it's a miracle he didn't hit a car, or a person. i wish i had my cell phone; i would've called the fire dept. on him for parking in the fire lane.

oh yeah.. I've done that too

Glad things smoothed out for ya.
