#441 Don't Escalate When You Are WRONG!

Video: Driver cuts off cyclist then goes nuts


Hey, here's a thought, when you nearly run someone over with your limp ass minivan, don't make it worse by screaming at them for having the gall to nearly get run over by your stupid car.

Cyclists are people, they have every right to the roadway if and when they feel the need to for their own safety. Don't like it? TOUGH SHIT. Do you get a say about semi trucks on the road? Then why would you possibly have any say about cyclists?

And, when you're wrong, own it and don't escalate like the asshole driver in this video. Who, if he'd tried to kick my bike on me, would have gotten his face kicked in.

Yes, cyclists run stoplights and stop signs and that's not okay but let's keep the scope of harm in perspective here. This asshole in the minivan could have KILLED the cyclist without even knowing it, a bike will dent a car at the worst. We are facing death, they are facing a dent. If you think the two are even remotely equal then you are seriously in need of a reality check.

I'd love to know if the cops came and ticketed this asshole for this, not like he's hard to find with his license plate on full display.

Mom shot dead in road rage attack hunted suspect with her armed son: cops

Now, I won't hold it against you if that headline leaves you wondering what the hell is going on. Let me break it down for you, Mom and daughter on a driving lesson in Las Vegas, get road raged at by someone, Mom and armed son go out looking for (the article says hunting) the road rager, they find someone, follow him for a while and then go home where the road rager shows up and shots are exchanged and Mom is dead.

Brilliant.

Dead mom's husband said she was a beautiful woman who hated bullies. Weird that she was behaving like one when she got shot in the head.

The thing with vigilante justice is that sometimes the "justice" goes wrong. In this instance, nobody innocent was harmed but a mom died for no reason.

Driving lessons are permanently over for Tammy Meyers.

#258 Let Go of Your Rage

Driver's Ed -

Joshua Shawn Beaver says two boys riding a school bus "flipped him off," so he followed the bus to East Bank Middle School in Charleston, West Virginia. He asked the bus driver if he could come on board and identify the boy. The bus driver let him on, and Beaver allegedly "smacked" a 14-year-old boy. Beaver has been charged with felony assault of a child near a school. School officials said the driver should not have let Beaver on the bus.

So, rather than just letting it slide, Joshua Shawn Beaver is very likely going to spend some time in prison for assaulting a kid with added time because it was near a school. I'm sure he thought he was going to teach that kid a lesson about giving him the finger or something but, in reality, the lesson will be given to Joshua Shawn Beaver in the form of jail time for being a dumbass.
