OT Normally I feel bad for morons

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Not doing it anymore. Apparently cell phone cameras might be a benefit to society. I thought they were a negative for the longest time.

I don't care if this motherfucker eats a bullet because his life is ruined. He did it to himself.

Fuck him.

PS. I only caught a glimpse of the guy filming's car. Think it is a newer Mercedes albeit a small one. Doubt AC guy has one.

Had it happened to me I would have said "Get the fuck out of here." And you can believe I would have meant it. I might have confronted him physically.

I don't even want to imagine what I would have done. Most likely tried to pull him out through his window.

I think saying I'm gonna get in my car and please leave me alone sir....and then ram that fucking van with my Mercedes.


BUT!!!!! Dude with the camera was spot fucking on. Just expose these people and let them destroy their own lives.

I was thinking the same thing. I was also thinking about breaking his nose right where he sat.

It was probably the more reasoned thing to do, but oh, the temptation.

Pull him out door. Open door and proceed to smash head with door. Something like that.

Problem for me is people see me angry and generally stop. Had a guy waving his fist at my little white focus to pull over and fight.

I pulled over and got out and then he said "I uhh, just wanted to talk about it"

Well, there's always the issue of how could I take this guy. The lone exception is if they're giving my wife a bad time. I once slugged a guy who was with his two brothers all three of which were quite a bit bigger. The issue was that the one guy said to my Asian wife "You no readee signee?" Pow, he knew I meant business and apologized. It could have been Hulk Hogan, NO ONE speaks to my wife like that if I'm around.

That's my first thought also but depending on the state, it's how that guy would get away with legally murdering you.

 

[theprunetang]

The person taking the abuse did the right thing. If they would have started a physical confrontation, they may have ended up being shot by the dude, or a cop later.

This is what my wife fears. She regularly talks me out of stuff. Sometimes I let my emotions get the better of me. If I can think about it for more than a minute, I calm down and think rationally. That's where my wife plays an important role. Still, no harassing my wife, especially the way she speaks English.

Age has chilled me out, when I used to drive I got into a few road rage incidents that make me cringe now, also I don't drive anymore so maybe it's not age it could just be not being behind the wheel. Anyhing to do with my wife could cause me to come unglued though, that's one reason why the most recent stand your ground murder was so disturbing, it could be me on many levels except the victim of racism part, which mutilpies someone's danger in that situation by quite a lot.

1. He has the business name (Uriahs) and phone number (614-588-6176) affixed to his door. Call them and report the incident as harassment to have him fired if he's an employee.
2. Write down his license plate number (in addition to his company's name and #), call the police and file a police harassment report. This may eventually lead to filing a court complaint pending their investigation.
3. Tell him it was nice working for as long as you have. I am uploading this video to the net and sending it to everyone I know in the area. Thanks for running your mouth and taking yourself out of our workforce, dumbass.
4. Laugh at his sorry ass, go back inside my home, and continue my day as if nothing happened.

 

[MARIS61]

I see 2 very flawed people.

One racist who (to his credit) personally, calmly and verbally confronted the person who triggered his anger face-to-face to tell him he was rude.

One rude possibly dangerous driver who set out to destroy the life and family of the person who triggered his anger by calling him by a racist label.

Thank goodness I don't know either of them.

"Dangerous driver"? Not sure where that came from.

Yelling at someone in a moment of frustration is one thing. Following them home is taking it to another level. If someone followed me like that, they would find me on the front porch holding my shotgun.

I had a road rage with a guy once when I was 22 or so and he went to his house. I pulled up and asked "you live here?" and he said yes. I told him that was ridiculously stupid and laughed and told him I wouldn't fuck with his house but not to be so stupid next time.

Nobody knows exactly what happened on the road. To assume that the guy who follows a woman home so he can call her a N***** is even remotely justified is pretty fucked up world view. Even if he had a argument that she is a dangerous driver, he lost all potential credibility by being a racist douchebag.

I regret what I said before. My brother had schizophrenia and would say things to people that weren't always that nice. Now, when he was younger there was no nicer person than my brother. He got ill and changed quite a bit. He was still usually very nice but your never knew when he's go off all cock eyed. A few times he would come home all beat up. It broke my heart.

When someone goes off all strange you've got to consider that maybe he has some form of mental illness and there may be loved ones that care about him a lot.

 

[MARIS61]

Exactly.

And why do you think that is?

Seems if he had no reason at all to follow and scold another driver...he wouldn't have.

Only reason I can think of why the Fake News would purposely present only one side would be to fool and control the minds of the simpletons who believe everything they read from their few, chosen, friendly sources and never question or look for contradicting views or facts or even the Rest of The Story (I really miss Paul Harvey).

Probably would have just quickly lost the fight that HE STARTED, then hopefully been arrested for assault or attempted murder.

The van driver remained in his van and at no time made any threats whatsoever. You can't physically assault someone for calling you rude even if they call you something far more objectionable. There was no implication of violence anywhere in this situation. It's a verbal disagreement between 2 drivers, one or both not courteous drivers.

Had he not used a certain word there would be no video on youtube.

There would have been no video because this sort of thing happens every day. It was the use of the 'N' word that elevated things in my opinion.

Yep, somebody was extremely rude and very probably violated the traffic code. I'm gonna bet it was most likely the guy who demonstrated a lack of self control.

I had a brother with Down Syndrome and I spend some of my 'free' time with mentally and physically disabled people, and this triggers me beyond what it should. I'm fine admitting it but it makes me want to cry, and then go into a frothing rage on whatever dim wit would treat someone like that. I need to get out of the topic page, or go have my hormones balanced by spending time with my girls...

When I was a small kid in the early 50s there was a lady with a Down's syndrome child who would walk the downtown area of Oswego. You could see her and her child taking a stroll every day always taking the same route. Even then at my early age I felt it was wrong to stare. In fact, everyone in town treated them like everyone else saying hi whenever we passed by. There was a lot of prejudice against racial minorities in that town in those days but I'm proud to say there was none against this lady and her child.

I think the attitude of the whole town made it easier to take an accepting attitude toward her and her child. I like to think of this kind of sociological behavior as getting over the hump. Once you get over the imaginary hump it becomes self reinforcing and extremely healthy.

A kind of a side note, I see mass transit as a hump problem. Mass transit has been difficult to get Americans use to and so it's been slow to catch on. When I was in Korea, everyone took mass transit and so it was very popular. Even taxis were cheap. Hardly anyone owned a car.

Funny how I remember that lady and her young daughter all these decades, well over half a century, later so very well. I place it's importance alongside my very fond memories of going to the Oswego Lake swim park every day in the summer.

The big difference in mass transit here vs places like Korea or NY is the density of population. In many densely populated places mass transit makes a heck of a lot of sense. A good chunk of Americans have long commutes to work, need to drive 10-20 minutes or more for groceries or whatever. I grew up in St. John’s and North Portland and spent a lot of my childhood riding buses around to get places, but now that I live in Cornelius while mass transit is available, I couldn’t imagine having to use it everywhere I need to go.

I use to have in-laws in Cornelius. My ex wife's uncle was the oldest Rosarian ever and he lived in Cornelius. A really nice guy.

An old hippy days buddy of mine, Rod Fuiten, is now on the Forest Grove city council. Forest Grove is pretty near.

Mass transit only makes sense if everyone lives in a box, works in a different box, and has no other life or want for Freedom of movement.

You know, Socialist countries.

In the case of Portland and most large cities, mass transit was successfully introduced in order to encourage gangs from LA to expand to the city.

OMG, what world do you live in? No mass transit in LaPine? And here I always thought mass transit was introduced to large cities to ease transportation pains. This is probably the dumbest post I have read on this forum.

Drats, foiled again. Our plan to get LA gangs to expand into Portland was supposed to be top secret.
