What Kuczwanski did was wrong (not to mention stupid), regardless of whether the Prius driver was a liberal or a conservative gun owner.

him off from causing an accident, then ramming the other car after pulling off the road, then firing a gun at the other driver.
What gets into the heads of these gun nut, wingers. Did he actually think he'd just be able to talk his way out of that and walk away?
What a crazed idiot. He fucked around and found out.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, better happen to the person defending himself.

(16,388 posts)11. Hmmmm...
It's ironic that this guy likely thought he was pulling his firearm on some anti-gun liberal Prius driver...
Where's the evidence that he thought that? Is driving a Prius now regarded as something only liberals do?
This happened in Florida, a state where it's legal to carry a concealed firearm in a private conveyance without a permit. Seems to me that it would be prudent to assume that any other driver one encounters on the roads there might be carrying, or at least consider the possibility before drawing one's own firearm.
It sounds like Kuczwanski was in too much of a murderous (road) rage to think about much of anything, including the likely political orientation of the perfect stranger he was murderously enraged at.
