I realize we've been raised to believe in the innocence of young girls, but its simply just not the case in todays day and age. I believe she did something to exacerbate the situation.

It this very blind belief in the innocence of women which gives them more social power to act without repercussions.


Yep, anyone can be a dumbass and do stupid sheiße.

In the video above, when the chick did something stupid, if the guy in the truck had followed her just enough to get a pic/video of her car/license and then let her go, he'd be alive. If she had passed and he'd just shook his head and muttered "dumbass" she wouldn't have stabbed him and he wouldn't be dead.

It takes two to tango.

I've never been in a fight. When I was MUCH younger, I've had a couple people push me or call me names. I didn't swing. I mostly just stood there and stared at them. And nothing ever happened.

I've had a couple/few folks get road ragey on me over the years, I've never followed them or gotten out of my vehicle to confront them. I've never been stabbed, shot or hit in the process.

Again, assuming the "girl" in the original post didn't stab or shoot the guy, and only did something obnoxious and/or irritating, then the guy shouldn't have gotten out of his vehicle and even if he did, there was IMO no good reason for him to get physical with her.

If someone calls you names, you don't hit them. If someone cuts you off in traffic or brake checks you, you don't hit them.

Even if they'd been at a McDonalds someplace and on the way out the door she'd poured a drink over his head and then pushed him, and jumped in her car, he still wouldn't (IMO) be justified in chasing her down and punching her.

Now, because he had to escalate and (probably) teach her a lesson (that probably wouldn't have done anything anyway) he's in a world of sheiße. Even if he's completely cleared, this is going to be costly and a huge pain in the arse for him.
