122. Yes, I'd forgotten about those. And then there are also just crazy people.

Tue Oct 1, 2013, 11:29 PM

Oct 2013

I was followed in my Prius by a relentless black Crown Victoria driven by an asshole who was pissed that I didn't allow him to rudely force his way in front of me in the fast lane (I hate that behavior), on an eight lane highway (four each direction).

He insisted on staying behind me, for miles, instead of just going on. I would move all the way into the slow lane and he'd do the same. I went to pull over thinking he'd just keep going on, and he pulled over and opened his door, so I took off.

This lasted a good 12 miles until I had a clear shot at flying across several lanes of traffic (safely) to get to an exit and did so in a way he couldn't recover from.

That was scary behavior on his part, if it had been me in that SUV with dozens of sick people on bikes, I don't think I'd have worried much about one of them being hurt while I tried to save myself and my family.

Update on the bikers who terrorized a New York City Family. [View all] Dawson Leery Oct 2013 OP

This made me want to puke: Wait Wut Oct 2013 #1

Thugs such as this serve no purpose. Dawson Leery Oct 2013 #3

FWIW, I've seen countless kids become fucked-up adults even with excellent parenting... Blue_Tires Oct 2013 #9

Yeah, it is Yo_Mama Oct 2013 #48

If Lien had had an automatic assault weapon and sprayed the entire group, would he have been kelliekat44 Oct 2013 #69

If it were an automatic rifle Jenoch Oct 2013 #93

These bikers are clearly a bunch of hooning idiots Blue_Tires Oct 2013 #8

It isn't harsh. Wait Wut Oct 2013 #15

They are very lucky none of them was shot and killed. n/t MicaelS Oct 2013 #25

And just how many would he have gotten before being killed himself?? Blue_Tires Oct 2013 #28

What if the NYPD had been doing the shooting? MicaelS Oct 2013 #29

somebody would be dead in that case G_j Oct 2013 #146

A sad fact but often true... discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2013 #224

well probuably if he had shot five or six of them the rest would have run away loli phabay Oct 2013 #187

That also assumes none of the others would be armed... Blue_Tires Oct 2013 #244

or that the shots would not have hit some other innocent person JI7 Oct 2013 #260

better to hope they are not going to beat you and mayby rape your wife then loli phabay Oct 2013 #266

no, he should have ran them over as he did , the gun nut thing is mostly fantasy JI7 Oct 2013 #267

and yet when he was stuck later in traffic they dragged him out and beat him loli phabay Oct 2013 #269

if he had a gun there is more chance his daughter would have ended up killing herself or someone JI7 Oct 2013 #271

yeah cause his daughter would have grabbed his gun and shot herself loli phabay Oct 2013 #272

happens a lot more than the fantasy about gun nut heroes JI7 Oct 2013 #273

nope. loli phabay Oct 2013 #274

gun nuts always see things and think about how they would have been the hero with their guns JI7 Oct 2013 #275

lol, or people who are trained and have experience look at it and use it as a what if loli phabay Oct 2013 #276

it is gun nuttery to always view things that happen and think about how they would have been the her JI7 Oct 2013 #279

yeah its better to get beaten and slashed and mayby your family attacked loli phabay Oct 2013 #265

If there's one situation where I don't want to invite return fire NoGOPZone Oct 2013 #300

depends on whether those thirty people are determined to harm you and your family loli phabay Oct 2013 #333

I don't know if I'd be willing to bet NoGOPZone Oct 2013 #341

he did good until the bit were he was dragged out and beaten and cut loli phabay Oct 2013 #343

no, he came out ahead, so he did good period NoGOPZone Oct 2013 #344

sorry getting beaten and cut is not coming out ahead, the guys that did it only loli phabay Oct 2013 #348

you do realize NoGOPZone Oct 2013 #349

yeah but makes no difference to the driver he was still beaten and cut loli phabay Oct 2013 #350

try to do better than blatant strawmen NoGOPZone Oct 2013 #351

well thats you i would rather not have been beaten but thats me. loli phabay Oct 2013 #353

My prefrence is a SIG220, 45 w/230gr JHP. oneshooter Oct 2013 #379

It happened in New York. In Texas, shots would have been fired. GreenStormCloud Oct 2013 #140

Correct.... Decaffeinated Oct 2013 #142

I disagree. In Texas, the bikers would have been armed too and we would have had a shootout stevenleser Oct 2013 #340

and very likely the 2 year old or her mother would have been killed also JI7 Oct 2013 #352

Except that stuff like that doesn't happen down here. N/T GreenStormCloud Oct 2013 #361

Doesn't work that way in real life, only in the movies. GreenStormCloud Oct 2013 #360
