Rage over an accidental bump.

[Lemons]

She shouldn’t have pulled the gun but

No "but"s.

A physically aggressive response to a purely verbally aggressive interaction is always crossing the line.

Threatening lethal force is so far beyond the line, it's insane.

Ummm no , that is your opinion and there is a “but” in mine. No, the lady shouldn’t have pulled the gun and the mom was dead wrong too.

There are no buts in the law. Brandishing a weapon is a serious offense and her claims of defending herself are weak.

The video showed the gun woman already leaving in her SUV backing out to drive away when the woman hit her SUV with her hand. At that point gun woman got out of her SUV pointing her gun.

Legally she crossed the line and was arrested.

These overreactions like this have happened long before any riots happened.

It's just going to get worse because of the rioting.

Interesting that you are willing to give the benefit of the doubt to white people because they are scared, but black people who report being scared and stressed all the time due to police interactions and racism would certainly not get this level of concern and forgiveness.

WTH are you flapping your gums about now? The more comments you make, the crazier you sound.

People are scared, hurt, and angry. In this country we also have firearms in the mix. Not a great situation but it is what it is.

Where did I say she shouldn’t have been arrested or charged? I coulda swore I just told BB the courts will handle the brandishing.

Do you have a problem with me saying the other lady was wrong too and I’m not saying exactly what you think I should?

You (general) are saying white people are so scared because of everything going on that it should be expected that they react this irrationally. But when black people act irrationally in a scary situation with police (running, scuffling, firing a taser over their shoulder while running away), because they have been exposed to prolonged fear and stress in watching others be shot while unarmed, you dont offer them the same understanding. It's all "they should have complied" or "stayed calm". White fear is valid but black fear is not.

The black lady was up to no good, looking for trouble. I think most will agree with that.

I agree with Aletheia There are no “buts”. As soon as the woman left her SUV and approached the woman with a gun she became the aggressor.

People need to learn not to engage in these type of altercations. She was with her husband. They just needed to not respond

No it isn’t. A verbally aggressive confrontation is an aggressive confrontation.

Every person should know not to aggressively confront someone without being shown aggression in return.

[Aletheia]

No it isn’t.

It is clearly escalation.

Yes, it is.

However the beginning aggressor should not assume that they will direct the other on what the aggression level will remain at.
