If you threaten another person’s safety, you should expect your safety to be under threat as well.

That’s not lunacy, that’s logic.

I didn’t say the levels of aggression were equal. When you act aggressively towards another human, it should be expected that they could both act aggressively in return and raise the level of aggression.

waving a gun at someone over a verbal altercation is lunacy.

I avoid interacting people in public and have for a long time. This kind of thing is not new. People of all races think it's okay to be an asshole for little or no reason whatsoever. Not everyone reacts with any amount of grace over an accident, even after they get an apology. More and more people walk around with a chip on their shoulder sure everyone is out to get them.

I have no problem interacting with anyone. If i bump anyone i apologize and move on. That's all this moron had to do instead of escalating shit. I've only had one real problem with a black man- my dumb ass old neighbor making advances on me knowing I was married at the time. So I pushed him away, told him never touch me again, and that ended that. These people were just being ignorant.
She did apologize and she also told the women that she cared about them. That’s when the woman jumped behind the vehicle to prevent them from backing out and it sounded to me that she also hit their vehicle. So apparently when you apologize it escalates things.
People are nuts. It’s getting worse. For my safety I think I’ll keep to myself and not interact with strangers and hope I don’t accidentally bump someone. Because apparently bumping people is racist now.
She never apologized in the video. She says "I care about you" in between saying the ignorant statements that racism doesn't exist. No where in the video does it show her "jump behind the truck." You are making up what you want to see. None of that, even what you said was true, is a reason to point a loaded gun at a clearly unarmed woman and child.

After being threatened with a beating, having obscenities spewed at her and other things that never needed to happen. That type of behavior is out of control and disgusting on every level. If that is who you want to defend, it says a lot about you.

Threatened with a beating by a clearly unarmed woman while locked in a car after almost backing over the woman. If she felt threatened, she should have remained in her car and called the police, not got out of the car and pointed a loaded gun at a woman and child. I didn't defend the woman's actions, I said that nothing that she did is punishable by death. Both of them got heated, the difference is only one of them pulled out a deadly weapon on the other, cocked it, and pointed it at their head.
