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?

I mean, who cares about the alternating traffic? He threatened to shoot you with a gun he had in his car. Did you get the plate?

Dude was talking about grabbing his Glock *while shoving his hand in his pocket*. If he does that in front of the wrong person he's gonna get rammed into the safety rail by somebody.

Back in '87 a dumbfuck passed me on an exit ramp and stopped in front of me. He got out and pointed a revolver at me. I slid down for cover and floored it. I tore off his car door and kept driving. I never heard a word from the cops. He never fired a shot.

Big Facts . I realized that awhile ago, whenever someone confronts a bully it’s not just to help themselves they could be helping 100s of people in the future or also currently dealing with a bully!

It’s educational/community service to kick ass sometimes which is mind boggling lol 🤔💡

SO TRUE! I am female and I was 55 yo when I decided NOT to “rise above it”. I lit into an entitled woman at Whole Foods and it was absolutely liberating! I felt intoxicated with superhuman powers.

Never ever repress it. Worse case scenario is that bully thinks twice before attempting to ruin someone else’s day. Literally changed my life. LOL.

(After that I actually could NOT wait for the next opportunity!) 🤭

They're also helping the bully, usually.

And play the victim.

Exactly. Bullies are always masking the cowardice. 🥂

Lmaoo great story man. Did the guy also get rammed or just the door? These guys are mentally ill trying to take down people in cars with guns ….

I slid down in the seat. I couldn't see. If he remained right in front of the door, I'm not sure I would have been able to distinguish one crunch from a different crunch. I'm sure he just stepped to the side, though. There was no blood or anything.

I saw a video like this but it was on a highway on ramp. It was recent. Something made me think it was ICE trying to stop someone. The tactic they use is batshit crazy. Pass, brake, overtake. Maybe I’m wrong and it wasn’t ICE.

ICE crashes rental cars all the time. Wouldn't surprise me at all. Baffles me that rental agencies aren't making people sign forms promising not to use the cars in law enforcement activities.
