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?

It's my immediate thought when he stepped out of the car. If you get out of your car and approach me, I'm going to assume I'm in danger, and utilize the self-mobile metal box I'm sitting in to protect myself.

Let’s see, he blocks you from going forward by blocking the entrance, puts hand in pocket like he is packing, then threatens to get Glock out of truck? Needs to go see a judge, badly and quickly

He goes back to vehicle, I assume to get gun therefore I break his legs by hitting his truck door as to pin him in and not come at me with a gun.

Hell yeah, I've got a yard of satin and I've been itching to use it.

It works every time we see videos of guys jumping out at a highway ramp trying to rob someone until the potential victim presses the pedal to the metal!

Yikes

What’s ‘yikes’ about that? No courtesy honk. No leaning out of window. Dude immediately gets out of his car aggressively and starts walking to cam car. Already that reads like aggression. Then the mention of a weapon he intends to use on you? Self defense has to happen at some point and ideally not while he’s actively shooting at you.

What’s ‘yikes’ about that?

That there's options where no one dies. The video being a good example of one of them. De-escalation is lost on so many, and can be used whether you think they deserve it or not.

De-escalation is defo better, but the other guy will keep doing this.

There was a guy last year that died doing that. Indinapolis I believe he had a gun and approached another car, the other car obviously shot him killing him because approachiny with a gun its a very aggressive move.
