AU road rage dashcam vid

[HunterGreene]

To those of you questioning the Driver's decision to try to stay away from that gorilla--did you stick with the video long enough to hear that the Driver is a former cop? I'd say he's better qualified to make decisions in that situation than the rest of us. Hope the judge throws the book at him.

That's dope, but I would need a bigger blade than that and it looks like something out of a zombie movie.

Then there are cities whose crime rates dropped incredibly and have stayed as such since enacting firearms laws providing citizens that ability whereas conversely rates went through the roof in cases where citizens were denied that ability.

I mean really, ask someone if they would rob someone or break into a building if they knew there was a good chance someone was carrying a firearm. Unless they think they're going to massacre everyone anyway, I would imagine the answer is no.

It's media. If it doesn't shock, it doesn't sell. Defense stories rarely make news, such is the way it goes. You can't at all deny that.

There are plenty cases of bad, we all know this. Primarily because we immediately hear about them on the news. Nothing new.

As far as your other variables, I appreciate you dragging in solutions that aren't at all valid for this instance. If the victim can go back in time and prevent this dude's birth or educate him, by all means, please show me the time machine. I also really doubt that's a bulletproof solution anyway as it relies on people, just like any other.

The attacker destroyed a windshield with one punch. A bare handed single punch. Do you really think showing the attacker a gun would have stopped him? Or that the victim was ready to take a life?

Maybe you should read about how many solders purposely mis-aimed during trench warfare in world war one and two. That might give you an idea of how many people will actually choose to take a life even when faced with a do or die situation.

Edit. Even that was not a do or die situation. The victom had the choice to flee and he took it.

Gun debate is kind of pointless because no one in Australia wants them back. It's just a different culture here, even if you could license handguns it would only be the extremists and wackos that would carry.

Also with our legal system, if this guy pinned him against the car / killed him he'd probably get done for manslaughter. :/

@Guff

That is a terrifying knife thing! Hahaha

I'd rather have an Assassin's hidden blade though.

[jmh]

Absolutely, he'd have been in stupid amounts of trouble if he pinned him and we as Australians dont want guns back.

[Guff]

Also, no Gun law debating. I'll have to close the thread it there is any sort of political argumentation, chaps. So don't make me do that.

It didn't help that he victim had this bumper sticker...

What? When the F did Bloodrayne come out with her own product line??

[bestwheelbase]

That was terrifying. Glad the camera car driver kept his cool. I wonder how long the incident lasted from start to finish.

Not if the guy he was accosting was also packing. Dead criminals don't recidivate.

Please do, it's already headed that way
