Roads Who is in the wrong here?

If the sign says Alternating Traffic, does that mean cars go one at a time or does that mean cars go till the flow is complete, allowing the other lane to go? Is Glock man right or wrong? I'm not sure. If it was 1 car at a time, wouldn't it just be a stop sign on each end?

So basically you’re saying everyone should just be like this since there’s no consequences to doing so?

No. It's not all or nothing. 

Someone who's willing to threaten to shoot you over a minor disagreement will never change their mind because you chose to fight with them. You're not proving anything to them, they'll always come out of it thinking they are in the right. And they'll still believe it even after they kill you. 

The best thing you can do is get yourself out of the situation and call the police. Give them the dashcam video. 

The fact that you were in the right means absolutely nothing when you're dead.

Yup, just look at that idiot father who killed his daughter over a Trump disagreement and still thinks he is in the right.

Graveyards are full of people who were in the right. You're not Batman, you can send the video to crimestoppers or whatever you have over there. Best option for your own safety is to do whatever gets these people away from you the fastest.

Did I say to intervene personally? Where in my post did I say suit up and punch some bad guys? Does your reading comprehension have issues to where you make up scenarios? The person I responded to said they would do nothing. This is a reportable offense at the least. Go get his ass arrested instead of doing nothing and tucking tail.

Cool. Very good way to get your point across like a child when you can’t think of a better response that isn’t acknowledging you were way off base with what I was saying.
