Let me start by saying my adult daughter & I are now safe...
Yesterday, we were threatened with a GUN by another driver, for no crime other than being unable to go faster (due to the salt truck & four cars in front of us, while driving on a two-lane road with oncoming traffic).
When we finally reached a left turn lane at a light, the extreme-tailgaiter behind us pulled around & pointed a GUN at my daughter in the passenger seat, before driving straight on.
I was unable to get a clear lisc plate, but police were very responsive. Unfortunately, we had been on rural roads, so no traffic cams caught him driving behind us to determine his plate number.
This was in the far suburbs of #Chicago , between #Naperville and #Aurora.
And that was not the same person as this a-hole [video].
I am 60 years old. I have never before seen a gun used or pointed at anyone in my life.
I truly believe the #MAGA mentality is empowering these jerks.
@AnneTheWriter1 First of all in the Marine Corps, we learned you never ever point a weapon at someone unless you planned on using it. Second, we never called weapons, guns.
@Leefellerguy @AnneTheWriter1 "This one's for shooting; this one's for fun."
@log @AnneTheWriter1 Yes, a long ago recall now.
@AnneTheWriter1 oh wow. That sounds SCARY. Well done on staying cool and alive.
So glad to hear no shots were fired! A man pointing a gun at a woman. This is not even in the same universe with a gentleman's code. But probably the way to be, in man-boy code.
@AnneTheWriter1 I’m sorry that this happened to you. I live in the area where this happened, I honestly can’t say I’m surprised at all. There are many out here that are impatient drivers.
