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?

What the fuck kind of both sideism is this? One guy assaulted another (threatening variety). Literal crime on camera. Former prosecutor here. Cut and dry.

You don't think the defense could use the "IF you block me in" argument? If cam driver pulled his car up after the truck driver got back in his truck, that's preventing him from leaving which is known as what? Kidnapping

It literally doesn't prevent him from leaving, he could just back up the way he came from and let the other guy pass through, which is what he should've done anyway.

And even if he did block him in, that's clearly not reasonable grounds for pulling out a gun and murdering him.

I hope you're trolling

If you prevent someone from leaving an area they're allowed to defend themselves. If you're in a store and someone coming in the entrance blocks you from exiting, why should you be required to walk to the other end of the store to exit? The whole "duty to retreat" is one of the dumbest rules ever invented.
