    Dude is speaking through some serious trauma. Doesn't make what he's saying any less awful, but it does speak to the fucked up way the US traumatizes people.

      he's said before that he's had a gun pointed at him in anger more than once (not surprising considering what a piece of shit he is), it does sound a lot like hypervigilance

        I doubt that actually happened to him (maybe that's how he gamed it out in his mind). But if i take him at his word then wow. That's not a normal thing to happen to anyone once. He's a piece of shit and deserves it, but I've met plenty of assholes who this hasn't and won't ever happen to. What the hell has been saying irl and to who?

          I know of at least two people who have had it happen to that are perfectly normal as a result of road ragers due to "cutting them off" or honking. Nearly been in a similar situation myself I suspect had I not made an illegal u turn and sped off. Car brain in the South is something

            Oh, yeah unfortunately that scenario makes a lot of sense to happen to regular people for no reason. Car brain sucks and it is extremely dangerous in the South

          Thread had me thinking back on all the dumb shit people had pulled pistols on me for & had one of those moments when you realize "Oh shit this really isnt normal everywhere else on the planet huh? Fuck me."

            Damn sorry to hear that comrade. Thread has me feeling it might be more normal cause the world is a pretty fucked up place
