it seems like this whole debate could go round and round the rosie forever. and since alot of folks are discussing this, i'll add my 2cents (and thats about what its worth). for what its worth, i can see both sides of the argument on whether or not to retaliate when nearly killed by some a-hole driving a car. i guess what it really boils down to is how much you're willing to risk when you decide to retaliate. before a month or so ago, i completely advocated alot of the stuff (retaliation or whatever you want to call it) being said here, the coffee on the windshield was awesome, although i don't know if i would've wasted a good cup of coffee. anyways, now, whenever some **** in a car does something stupid, and i'm about to do something back, i remember what i felt like looking down the barrel of a gun pointed at me from ten feet away, and all i did was give this guy the finger. i just think to myself, "how much do i want to risk?" even IF i want to throw a brick through the windshield of the car that almost killed me (which i would love to do most of the time, and they are hidden quite nicely in my stash pocket), i still get that really sick feeling that maybe this person will get out of their car and shoot me.
