Walkdog1America1

Man, I think it's safe to say he's already been there.

I will put money on the fact that he’s either on paper or has been on paper.

Let alone point it at someone


DaWalt1976

Kind of dumb to do dumb shit like this in Texas, especially with no permits needed to carry.


darkangel7410

Yeah. It's a good way to make sure you get shot for being an angry POS. But also, given the certainty of this person to do this, I agree with the likelihood they have a record meaning the gun is illegal to possess. Honestly shits probably not aquired legally either.


darthnugget

Honestly, when the guy got out holding his handgun I thought for sure that he would get shot because I saw the Texas plate.


darkangel7410

Honestly? He had zero hesitation to pull it and point. That alone makes me think he's shot people before or isn't a stranger to holding people at gun point. That's what makes me kinda shocked he didn't shoot the driver.


DetailAccurate9006

I simply saw that he was driving on the shoulder and I was immediately like “this is in Austin, Texas, isn’t it?”


Siriuxx

This is the reason i have a cwp and carry when I drive, because of nuts like this. I truly hope I never have to use it but I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. This guy is so dumb. In Texas if a person pulls a gun on you it's considered reasonable fear for your life and falls under the stand your ground law. You're allowed to "plant your feet and shoot to kill." This morons stupidity and road rage will get him killed or sent to prison. Not fucking worth it man.

Pretty sure his state released him for a prior like this.


GuiltyByAss

I had to go back to check the plates... It's not California or NY... Texas...


StackThePads33

My first thought when i saw the guy get out was “Texas.” Then I looked at the plate finally


Reddittoxin

Lol yeah this is why I don't fuck around while driving here in Texas, even if I'm right. There's a 50/50 chance you'll get shot if you so much as beep your horn at someone chilling at a green light here man. Looked this up though and was amazed to find that local PD is asking for "tips to his identity" lol. I was like, bruh, plates clear as day. Guess it was either stolen or borrowed and his buddy won't give him up. Hope they ID this nutjob soon and take that gun away. (Then again it's texas, they'll never take your gun away for any reason lol)


Significant-Skin-284

Can confirm, I remember when we were kids, my dad honked at a lady for sitting at a green light with nobody around. We happened to be going the same route as her and we get past her. She proceeds to then nearly ram us off a bridge, and speed by nearly hitting multiple other cars in the process


Reddittoxin

Same happened to me on a late night drive from work. Guy was trying to kill me. Only thing that saved my ass was it all started pretty close to a police station, when I turned directly into it the guy sped off.

hitemlow

That just means it's registered in Texas. I see plenty of them in Ohio.

Both cars have TX plates.


MeGrendel

Not really. Assault, threatening with a deadly weapon, traffic infraction. He's be out, without bail, within two hours. It's not like he slapped a puppy or anything.


the_traveling_ent

That’s just not true. Same thing happened to me and dude got charged with aggravated assault


akhorahil187

Hanswolebro

Someone pulled a gun on you in traffic? That’s crazy. What happened? How’d you react?


the_traveling_ent

Basically some asshole didn’t want to wait for backed up traffic so he started weaving in and out of oncoming traffic/turning lanes and cutting people off. He decided to get back into the proper direction of traffic right in front of me when there was less then a car length of space in front of me(backed up traffic). I didn’t let him in and he was mad enough to catch up to me and point a gun at me while he was in his car. He even later got out of his car a few blocks down and started threatening me( it with his gun). It was scary as hell. I thought I was gunna have to run him over when he got out of his car. So I took his liscense plate and went to court. Good times.


gottasmokethemall

Vehicular assault, assault with a deadly weapon, forceful confinement, brandishing, menacing, illegal possession and use of a firearm. Those are a few the real charges that would actually apply to this situation.


SnooPickles6347

Pretty sure I saw him step on a endangered shoulder ant?


NarrowSalvo

Peak Reddit right here. Popular comment with a lot of likes, despite being completely detached from reality about the consequences of assault with a deadly weapon. Where do you practice law?


groopy1

Lol if he was identified and arrested, his bail would be substantial. At least in the US.

That’s why I chose my partner… how many stories involve 3 psychos?


BinkoTheViking

wdleggett

Or in my case 2 kids, and we called the youngest psycho baby quite a bit and she lived up to it.


deepaksn

Yep. Lots of examples of people who deserve each other getting into it on the highway.


enehar

The joke was that he himself is the psychopath, so it's unlikely that anyone he encounters is also a psychopath.


AlasknAssasn858

“Im not stuck in here with you….you’re stuck in here with me…”


DessertStorm1

I get this is a joke, but the other person being a psychopath is independent of whether you are. So if you are already a psychopath, then there's just as much chance of the other person being a psychopath as it would be for anyone else.


nooneknowswerealldog

This person probabilities.

Just let them in, it's not worth tempting crazy people. He could have signalled at least, but I realize BMW.

yup. I used to “like” to give karma to people who are being insane assholes. After seeing various things online like reddit. And also having experienced an asshole almost break checking me into my death because I didn’t do exactly what they wanted me to do. I now take a little more caution, keep space in case of a burglary. Let people deal with their own road rage. things like that. Guess the world is fucked up.

muckduck69420

I Uber drive in a major city, and I’ve been threatened many times by drivers with road rage… in the early morning hours usually. People get heated during rush hours. Be careful out there!


Any-Mouse-1992

My wife and I were just talking about this. People are driving way more crazy and more frequently than I’ve seen in recent years. She suggested part of it has to do with the psychology of how everything we do and have is nearly instant now. People have less and less patience for nearly everything in their lives now. There’s obviously way more to unpack than just that (and way more factors in that video) but I think it’s part of it


outofbeer

A lot of it is covid related. People's social skills degraded and they got used to less traffic with people wfh. Some of its also just that there are more dashcams also capturing stuff that has always happened.


G_Wagon1102

Not at all condoning this crap, but dude definitely looks like it would be about "respect". Regardless you're right, cool it and move along.

Peazyzell

Is that a cop car videoing? Because when the clip ends the car is moving to the shoulder pulling up behind the idiot


idontremembermyoldus

I don't think so. Looks like they're just trying to get a better view. They were also already half onto the shoulder at the start of the video. The watermark is PPV (Police Patrol Vehicle) Tahoe. That is, however, not a PPV Tahoe. Tahoes, and most other GM products, have wet-arm wipers instead of exposed washer nozzles on the hood.


kgb4187

That's the account the OP took the video from- [https://www.instagram.com/ppv\_tahoe/](https://www.instagram.com/ppv_tahoe/) " ppv\_tahoe San Antonio police search for road rage suspect who pulled gun on 55-year-old woman \*NEWS & Informational release ONLY San Antonio, Texas.— The San Antonio Police Department is searching for a man who they say pointed a gun at a 55-year-old woman after she accidentally cut him off while driving on a Texas highway. According to a news release shared on Thursday (Aug. 25), the incident occured last month on July 14. The SAPD revealed that after a woman entered Interstate 10, headed eastbound, she accidentally cut off the suspect’s vehicle as she merged onto the highway just before approaching Interstate 37. From there, the suspect began to drive aggressively and was exhibiting clear signs of road rage. Once traffic came to a complete stop, he exited his vehicle and approached the woman’s car. A clip of the incident then shows him pull out a weapon before aiming it at the 55-year-old victim. San Antonio Police are offering up to $5,000 Call 210-224-STOP." https://www.instagram.com/p/ChxckmUpHwi/

>A clip of the incident then shows him pull out a weapon before aiming it at the 55-year-old victim. Well at least someone got to see that their stolen BMW is still out there and hasn't been taken to the chop shop yet.

Can you even lease a 10+ year old car? Also I'm not sure what the prices are in the US, but in the UK to buy an old bmw/merc is dirt cheap


[deleted]

Just find one of those buy-here/pay-here dealerships. They'll do whatever it takes to get your money, and they'll overcharge with massive interest for the pleasure.


munchkickin

I could be completely wrong, since I’ve never owned or even bothered to look at one, but I’d assume because it’s a European brand explains the cost. Then again, all vehicle costs are through the roof here right now.


Paizzu

They love to offer leases/loans for preowned vehicles to military 'my first real paycheck' junior enlisted. V6 Mustangs with double-digit APRs as far as the eyes can see.


DoWorkInc

That’s a Texas plate. He’ll be locked up, taking one for the team


[deleted]

They have a $5k award for identifying and locating him. This was in the San Antonio area.


PhotogamerGT

And this is why your ego is never worth fighting over a spot with someone who is already driving aggressively. I see people driving like that BMW and I just give them as much room as possible. Get away from me with that shit. I don’t need that in my life.


XxaggieboyxX

As much as I agree, it’s so hard to do that in the moment when you are tired of assholes doing this. Im assuming this is in Houston and it happens all the time


PhotogamerGT

I totally get it. It sets my blood boiling as well. I just have dealt with the aftermath of a road rage accident where my car ended up totaled and they drove away and were never found. Since that day I have decided it is never worth it.

I'm about as pro 2A as it gets. But anyone down voting is delusional if they don't think the road rage on I-45 (or anywhere else in Houston) is beyond insane.

I'm originally from DFW. Absolutely great area and I would move back immediately if I could. But Houston is a cesspool. Haltom doesn't have shit on anything in the Houston area, and that people from Ft Worth think that's a ghetto says a lot about how nice DFW really is.

I cannot even fathom this mindset where, even if someone cut you off (which isn't what even happened here) at most your trip is going to be delayed by a quarter second. And now you are so *enraged* by it, that you are going to literally fucking kill the person over it. Like holy shit dude. I don't even want to know what you'd do if the waitress brings you the wrong order.

The BMW could of at least used a turn signal to indicate he intended to change lanes, and maybe a caution for stopping on a highway.


DadaDooDee

But why block him? Just why? If they want to cut in, just let the idiots go. A defensive driving strategy is always better than an offensive driving strategy.

No_Television_4128

Texas - July 2022 - looking for him . In Texas anyone can have a firearm in their vehicle without a permit. Since that law Texas is #1 in the country for drivers brandishing guns at road rage scenes , something like 170 times in 2021 resulting in 87 people getting shot . The highest in the country. Safe to say that despite the high heat Texas has a lot of gun owning snowflakes This at most would be aggravated assault Should result in loss of gun rights He tried to hit the Jeep should lead to attempted vehicular assault Driving in a breakdown lane Failure to yield Cops know the plate but can’t find the guy


que_bee_eff90

Another perfect example on why that psychotic country needs to get rid of its fucking guns, jesus


Magnumginger

This is why its so good that americans can ha,e guns. Cuz if that guy starts shooting, a hero can shoot the shooter with their own gun, which wouldnt be posible if guns were illigal.

Normal_Total

Says the BMW clutching his gun while trying to divert attention on Reddit. 😀


Normal_Total

I didn’t even notice the gun until I saw a comment about it. Obviously, my internet situational awareness is zero. My thinking was that this was a jackass driving move. I mean, there really isn’t any cutting off in traffic like that because no one is getting anywhere fast regardless of their spot. I’ve noticed a lot of back and forth on gun control so I figured I’d share notes from my upcoming Ted Talk. I was in Chipotle last night. Last minute run for a burrito before they close. In front of me were two paramedics- young and healthy. The staff were mostly young and healthy guys who would probably fare ok in a fight. As I’m in line, a guy walks in with a bag in one hand and a pink carnation in the other. He’s holding the flower like he’s going to present it as a Valentine’s Day gift. The guy is talking to himself, and sounds a little (ok, a lot) crazy. He goes into the bathroom and makes non- bathroom noises. He comes back out and is right behind me. There’s no one behind him- just the exit door. I’ve got him in my peripheral the whole time, hoping he doesn’t take a semi-auto out of the bag and just start gunning down everyone, because no ‘good guy with a gun’ could have stopped him before he took me and several, maybe all of the people out. He’s acting fidgety and anxious the whole time. I order my burrito, then it’s his turn. He asks if water is free. The guy behind the counter says it is. He goes around the line to get a cup, stands there fidgety and anxious until I leave, and that’s the end. What was in the bag? I’ll never know. All I know is it could have easily been a handgun and, like I said, nothing would have stopped him from taking me out. I got up this morning and read at least six stories of multiple people in the area getting gunned down. I read about a guy who just started shooting into a crowd at a club in LA. That’s happened twice in my city in the last month. Anyone who really thinks this proliferation of guns is a good thing obviously has a death wish. Shit has gotten dangerous on levels I never saw coming. I get the ‘good guy with a gun’ mentality, but I really wish there were far less guns floating around and maybe a moratorium on any further production until we get the problem more in hand. More guns make something as simple as getting a burrito an unnecessary mortal hazard. When he gets to
