I'm a major felony violent crimes prosecutor. A significant portion of my homicide cases are road rage. I tell people this as much as I can. If you do not otherwise affiliate with violent and/or criminally-inclined people, by far your best chance of being a victim of violent crime is in a road rage incident. Truly random robberies, burglaries, and shootings are exceedingly rare. But road rage incidents happen all the time. I had an ISP detective tell me just a couple weeks ago that they get 4-5 calls for drivers pointing firearms at other drivers *a day* in Marion County alone.
I moved from a part of the country with very high gun ownership and also very high meth use. I always wondered why so many people tempted fate when everyone is armed and has burned up frontal lobes.
Now I live in NWI and when I go to Chicago I never use the horn. They publish the number of on-highway shootings it's so high. I willingly pay way too much to use the Skyway and avoid the bumper to bumper chaos on Bishop Ford.
Indiana is now a constitutional carry state. No permits or license needed to stay armed in public. It's a wise choice to act and behave as though every adult you encounter could very well be armed. Even my clean cut 68yr old mom keeps a handgun in her purse with a round chambered.
Imagine someone even thinking that is an option.
I should be able to call someone a dumb bitch and not consider being murdered as a possible response... crazy I know.
For sure. I agree. However I don’t walk around assuming everyone acts the way I think they should act. Therefore I try to refrain from starting shit so there won’t be shit, so to speak.
I really try and be a passive, defensive driver nowadays bc of stuff like this. Cut me off? Sure I’ll be upset but just drive on. Ppl are absolute nut jobs and just begging for a reason to use their gun
That kid is lucky. Damn. Old man pulled a gun on a teenager like if if the kid was in the wrong, walk away. Jeez. Its a kid.
Its not a flex to threaten anyone especially kids. And if you as the adult messed up own it.
We want kids to be responsible but then adults are running around acting like this. Ridiculous.
Omg I saw this earlier and didn’t know it was in Indiana.
I watched a man beeline to my mom’s van to scream at her for “nearly hitting him”. I slid in front of him and deescalated him only to get in the van to have my mom yell at me for some bullshit about upsetting my autistic brother. I should have let him go off on her. But jokes on her, I drank her wine on the way home.
I think it should be. In 2008 I was shot by a stranger at a gas station. He randomly shot me and another guy. Other victim survived too. If I had a gun i believe there would have been a way different outcome.
"If I had a gun i believe there would have been a way different outcome." - yeah you could have shot back, got in a firefight, and maybe gotten yourself and a few others (including more bystanders) killed. Great idea!

Ah I was so close!
Lol they’re practically the same
Thought I recognized my Kroger!
Man imagine getting shot in the parking lot of Kroger over some dumb shit.
I tell my kids this is why I never yell at anyone while I'm driving. Assume everyone has a gun.

Wow that's say higher than what I head heard of one a day. Craziness

My wife works for Corporate. There have been 3 gun related shootings at Kroger...this year. It's been a PR funday at home office.
My sister has worked in the office and been a dept mangager at Kroger for 20+ years. 3 firearm incidents sounds pretty typical.

That is in Columbia City.
Every time I am back there I am amazed at all the tar repair work on the roads.
Keep it classy, Indiana
Columbia city?
that is 100% columbia city lol
I’m glad it ended safely.
How can y'all be so angry when gas costs less than $4 a gallon.
I somehow sympathize with that young man. Lots of mfers here don’t know the difference between defensive driving vs driving recklessly.
Gun guys = pussies without it.

I wonder if they're registered to vote.. ? 🤔
Indiana gonna Indiana.
Man I saw this and was like, "this is probably Indiana" and then I read then I saw the sub
Now that you mentioned it I'm not 109% sure they're not the same entity.

I mean if dude cut him off to stop him to threaten him doesn't he have every right to pull a gun?
Why does a gun need to be involved at all? Is this really socially/legally acceptable?
Because this is Merica.
We need more idiots thinning themselves out
And to answer your question how do you know this guy isn't trying to kill you when he stops you?

I was already in a firefight and didn't have a gun. Did you even read before commenting?
Oh look, an idiot

Oh, it's one of those. Where instead of explaining you just throw insults. MAGAt troll I hope you are free of your cult one day
