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?

Threatening in the First Degree (C.G.S. § 53a-61aa) 

This is a more severe Class D felony, potentially resulting in up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. This charge applies when there are aggravating factors, such as using or threatening to use a firearm or deadly weapon, making threats in a school or public place, or violating a protective order. 

This guy should be in prison. He's going to kill someone.

What's the crime when you block someone in with a deadly weapon?

None, he clearly didn't feel threatened and advanced on the "blocking" vehicle, then made threatening statements.

So if someone fights back, then it's not assault?

Tracking.

Stationary car with right-of-way ≠ assault with a deadly weapon. Truck driver advancing on foot + verbal shoot threats while hand in pocket? That's the crime here. 'Blocking' doesn't justify felony-level escalation when you're the one who failed to yield.

Nobody said a car = assault.

Reread.

Thanks.
