    I flipped a guy off two or three weeks ago because he blew through a four way stop and almost got either of us killed. Well he did a u turn and blew through the stop again and followed me home and yelled at me about how I “shouldn’t do that because dangerous people will hurt me” and I asked if he was warning me or threatening me and he said “I’m threatening you” and then shoved me against my car before trying to run me over while I got his license plate number

    I still haven’t gone to the cops and a small part of why is everybody acts like I’m the fucking asshole. “You shouldn’t have done that” from my girlfriend, brother, parents. FUCK YOU. I made a rude gesture because someone did something dangerous that could have gotten someone killed. I’m not the fucking asshole here. Maybe if I weren’t male I’d get more sympathy but instead it’s like “woops you fucked around and found out” and it’s my fault instead of this person being utterly fucking insane.

      Asshole tries to kill you, but you’re slightly rude to him in response. He responds by trying to kill you again. PLAY STUPID GAMES WIN STUPID PRIZES!!!

    • A friend of mine was shot and killed over a road rage incident. The shooter was illegally carrying the gun, got off with a slap on the wrist. My friend was black, the shooter was white. Happened just outside the city limits of Portland.
