Police say "Road Rage" possibly influenced a woman’s decision to shoot a motorcyclist

[2094you]

Or maybe he was gonna harm her, expecially seeing as how he had previously faced murder charges. You don't ask for insurance information in the middle of traffic. Also, why would he need here insurance info? There was no mention of a colision!
Who said she felt threatened by a motorcycle?
She felt threatened by the low life that got off of the motorcycle in the middle of traffic to approach her while she was stoped.

''Or maybe he was gonna harm her, expecially seeing as how he had previously faced murder charges.''

yea and she knew that right ?

''She felt threatened by the low life that got off of the motorcycle in the middle of traffic to approach her while she was stoped''.

and she could have rolled her window up . locked the door oh wait how about driving away , hmmmmmm,

no reason to shoot him AT ALL !!

Correct. I think it is obvious both parties could have done things much differently to avoid this whole mess.

Trash.

Woman who have a CPL have a better chance of getting away with shooting someone.

Yes, dude should have stayed on the bike.

Someone who has a CPL better be a responsible person with their weapon. And better have the respect for life and only use it as their last option. This is the kind of shit that the people who are against guns like to see.

Why don't we hear the stories of the guy who shot someone that was running at them with a baseball bat. Thank you media.

I am sorta mixed on this. Obviously either person could have avoided the situation by getting away from the other. They BOTH had a chance to drive away and move on. In that aspect, I don't think you can fault one over the other for being in the situation.

However, the woman sounds like trash. I read all of the stories and in each one, there is some dramatic change and as the stories progress she sounds more and more like someone whom should face charges for her actions and less like a woman that was just defending herself.

She allowed her 15 year old son to taunt and kick the man after she shot him. I'm not sure that this is very good for her case in any situation. If I had to shoot someone in self defense, I can imagine that I'd be so traumatized from the ordeal that I'd be doing anything but taunting the person or allowing it to go on in my presence.

In the first story, the man had raised a fist... by the end of the third story, he had actually punched her. Changing a story to make it more in her favor sounds like she's guilty and trying to twist shit to save herself.

I am all for carrying a gun and using one in a necessary situation, but as the story progresses, this doesn't sound like it was that necessary of a situation.

He was on a bike! He had to stop and put the kickstand down which took a few seconds. She had plenty of time in those few seconds to drive away or run him and his bike over if she didn't have a way out. The gun would have been a last resort, which in this case wasn't a last resort for her.

:nod: The story said there was 11 seconds between him stopping his bike and making it to her car... if she couldn't hit the gas and get out of there in that time, then she's got a worse reaction time than PFM... and I find that hard to believe. :lol:

Anyone else have to re-read the title to make sure Eric hadn't shot someone?

:haha:

I don't know about you but I have been stuck in traffic downtown when a person attacked a car in front of me. The guy it the car had no place to go. There was a car in front of him and not enough room to "jump" the curb to go around as he was only 2ft of so a way from the car in front of him. He was traped.
So, you don't know that she could of driven away. A car or truck could of been right in front of and to the side of her.
The ONLY thing we do know is that they had some kind of disagreement while driving and when they came to a stop down the road the guy got off of his motorcycle and went up to her vehicle. I'm sure this would scare most women. She then shot him after he may or may not of hit or tried to hit her.
Sounds to me that he was the aggressor and he had no reason to get off of his motorcycle to approch her unless it was for no good. It's not like he needed to approch her to appologize. Come on, why do you think he got off of the motorcycle?

1) He was on a MOTORCYCLE! RUN HIS ASS OVER!

2) Yes he was the aggressor and you are right, she had a right to defend herself. I think it all comes down to if she had any other choice really but to shoot him.

 

[2094you]

yea , but 1, she was not alone in a dark alley at midnight .2, she was with her 15 year old son . which he had enough balls do get out and kick him and taunt him

i dont know about you but 2 against 1 makes most people feel safer in most situations
like going on roller coasters, walking through haunted houses , stuff like that .
it almost sounds like she was just looking for a reason to use that gun .

Totally irrelevant as she had no way of knowing his past.

It sounds like she has a temper and went out looking for trouble..

If the motorcycle guy would of stayed on his bike he probably would not of been shot. WHY would an 41yr old adult male need to get off his motorcycle while in traffic and approach a 39yr old female after an exchange of words?. HE was the aggressor and up to no good.

where did you get his age?


if he is 41, then he was 6yo when he was charged with murder back in 1973................

 

[DannyDodge]

The big problem didn't start until they were both stopped. How do you run over someone to the side of you once you are already stoped. They were in traffic, stoped. He then got off of his bike and went up to her vehicle.

thats a even better stituation then! she would run his bike over and not him, leaving NO ONE harmed :2girls:

 

[2094you]

t :2girls:

so sexy . hehe

 

[DannyDodge]

this will be in all my post since it is now in the smile box :2girls:

When in public you are required to retreat before taking action. She did not retreat, she had other options before resorting to shooting the guy.
+1 for changing story
+1 for kid assaulting a man in distress
+1 for obviously being psycho (stalking & chasing down a mailman with her suv)
+1 for ugly ass wheels on an ugly ass suv

The biker initiated the incident and was in the wrong for that, but I am willing to bet that this woman while using her awsome views on life almost hit the bike previously down the road, starting this conflict.
