Man shot in road rage upset that prosecutor won’t file charges

103. Perhaps he did not realize the guy would be assaulting him.

As the driver, I would have assumed the guy just wanted to vent or exchange some words. No reason to drive away or retreat from that - especially if you're at a stop-sign or stop light and it's not clear to drive. Perhaps pulling out into unyielding traffic would cause a serious accident. Maybe the car was boxed in by other traffic.

There are a number of variables to consider before making the kind of judgements your posts appear to be making. Nevertheless, the fact that you cannot seem to come to terms that an older man was in the act of being physically assaulted by a biker 26 years younger when the older guy shot him certianly says alot about your values regarding the right to defend one's personal safety. Why would you advocate that people behaving violently and threateningly should dictate the actoins of others. The grandfater had a right to be there in addition to the right to keep a loaded pistol in his car... why should the ILLEGAL hostile actions of others force someone who is not acting unlawfully to cede their ground.
