I, for one, was thrown off by your agreeing with a couple of Jermyn's posts, and that's why I was confused by your post on vengeance. Thought you were trying to support the sympathy-for-the-shooter side of the issue. Kinda read it backwards!
But: latitude? Sorry, no. Not for the shooter. None at all. Up to the moment before he decided to make chase, sure. Sympathy for the frustration over apparently bad, maybe even inconsiderate (if it was intentional) driving. But putting pedal to the metal was his first mistake. He acted in anger, with intention of using deadly force in retaliation. That's when he lost any and all "latitude" from me.
Don't feel bad Timothy, you're not the only one who read into my posts. I am quite suprised at some at which I thought had more "character" than just reading into my post and mischaracterizing my position. So much for the "Christian" compassion that some would say that they have.
I appreciate that you at least went back and read what I've actually written.

Brother, I respect your opinions. Because of that I want to be sure.
Am I one of the ones you were talking about here?
Man shot after he runs car off U.S. 78 near Olive Branch
Police search for assailant's tan Nissan Altima

A wild road rage encounter on U.S. 78 near Olive Branch late Monday morning escalated into a shooting that left a man wounded in the arm.
The victim, who was not identified, was being treated for a non-critical gunshot wound in his left forearm.
Meanwhile, Olive Branch Police Monday afternoon continued searching for a late model tan Nissan Altima, with its window shot out, seen speeding away after the shooting.
Just before noon, the victim's vehicle swerved and inadvertently ran the assailant's Nissan off the road in the westbound lanes of U.S. 78, near Bethel Road, according to Olive Branch Police Chief Art Heun.
After being forced onto the road shoulder, the Nissan re-entered the road, passed another westbound driver at high speed, then pulled up next to the victim's car,
The suspect fired a chrome handgun -- first through the window of his own vehicle, then through the victim's driver-side window -- striking the driver in the forearm.
The victim pulled into a rest stop to call for help, while the gunman's vehicle continued west.
A witness was able to recount the events for police, describing how the Nissan pulled up to the victim's vehicle just before the shot was fired.

LOL - - you'd think he would have taken the time to roll the window down.
Well, I think it may be safe to assume that the car may be stolen. I seriously doubt anyone premeditating a chase and shooting without taking the time to roll their own windows down.

Exactly!
I do hope we get the details as this unfolds. I'm almost CERTAIN this guy was no good citizen just upset because he was run off the road.
