3) Yeah, let's all carry loaded hand guns in our cars, and teach all those stupid drivers out there a lesson. It's the only way they'll learn! And think of how much safer the roads will be, once all those stupid drivers either 1. learn their lesson, or 2. stop driving, out of fear of being shot, or 3. are dead.
Sigh.

1) The natural inclination is to label the other shooter as the criminal. I am attempting to show that the other guy in a positive light-- for all we know he really a good guy who suffered a judgment lapse. But we are naturally inclined to not see him the shooter that way.
2) My basis for arguing that this idiot had malicious intent is the fact that he showed a lack of regard for the affects of his actions-- typical of other idiot drivers that don't consider how dangerous their driving is to the general public.
3) That's not the proper response for the shooter or for us.
Arresting and charging the shooter will no way bring justice to the idiot who caused all of this in the first place.
If the idiot driver had been driving drunk, would that change this situation at all for you guys?
