Actually I have a lot of empathy for the raging gun nut in this case. I hate inconsiderate drivers. But, let's face it, this is a guy who needs to lose the guns, am I right?
Why would you empathize with the maniac? The other guy was already parked and loading groceries into his car. With his mother and his daughter present. Who knows how far the car next to him was over the line when he parked, like a half an hour earlier?
Road rage traditionally is a moving violation. This guy is just dangerously stupid.
No guns would be a good start. Joining the human race might prove a bit more difficult.

Yes, anyone who threatens with a shotgun (especially over a parking space) is acting criminally. I use Greg's statements of examples of what is criminal activity.

Empathy? So you've done something like this before?

DeleteFair enough. So you just felt like doing something like this?
