Keeping a cool head when things can go real fast!

You have a higher probability of running into crazy or stupid in Floriduh than just about anywhere else.

I just said it could happen anywhere. I'm not arguing with you, and it sounds like you have the facts so whatever, I don't travel to Florida!

I also don't understand why the truck driver would stop the vehicle in the first place, as that created the opportunity for Pinky to engage him and limited his ability to escape when the weapon was presented. Would have been a wiser choice to be on the phone with 911 and do everything possible to avoid that confrontation. Even if vehicle damage was sustained during the road rage incident, one could easily argue fear of life/safety prevented them from stopping to exchange information.

It's for the views/clicks man!

If your priority is to pull out a phone and record… rather than call the police and evade then I question your motives.

I dunno, LA has its share and they're so casual about it.....

I wouldnt apply this to all situations, but in this situation I agree the threshold was met at #1.
Id like to find that Branca video later today.

Note too, that Branca references the same video that "Red442Joe" posted, in his assessment.

Thats the one. Branca outlined all the Fla laws justifying shooting the guy in self defense the moment the gun is visible. He praised the truck driver for keeping calm and not shooting but what I notice is at any moment the road rager guy could have beat him to the draw at almost any time in the confrontation.
The truck driver is really really lucky to be alive.

"There's no magic pixie dust that says the good guy wins the fight!"

Exactly what my other post showed. Good guy got off first shot but, bad guy was a split second later and his was fatal! Even though good guy managed to pump 6 more rounds in the bad guy, bad guy lived and good guy died!

Proof that being aware of your surroundings is important...Video

Very sad! Notice good guy hit his attacker 7 times but, none were lethal as he still managed to get up and flee. I have no issues with this kind of criminal, 15yrs old or not, going directly to the gas chamber!:mad: View: https://youtu.be/tgCEZrefewA?si=g4EO_bz5qmDdy-FB

If you do not study anything, study Situation Awareness.

In BNOC and ANOC this was drilled into our heads.

Here's a cop video showing guy getting out of car with gun. Notice that the top video is the view you have being behind the car. You don't know until very late if the driver has a gun or not and know way to know their mental condition or what they will do. Lower video shows a perspective you woudl not have. Basically you are blind until the guy gets out with the gun. That's why I say if someone opens the door you have to be ready to go from orange to red in a blink of an eye.

Kind of unrelated but good marksmanship by the officer after getting shot in the foot. Perp tries to get out with what looks like a sub 2000. Skip to 2:40 mark

That guy was no doubt 100% SUICIDAL and knew exactly what he was doing...

This Florida road rage incident guy used vehicle as weapon. One was armed apparently. Apparently one guy was mad cuz other guy didn't use turn signal.

Dispute over turn signal turns violent as SUV driver targets man — then gets shot at: cops

A shooting and crash in Florida that resulted in three people being charged was a result of road rage, police say.
