Note, a pedestrian is: "a person walking along a road or in a developed area." This guy wasn't walking anywhere.
Also, so if I slap you, and you slap me back, you would be doing the greater harm if you had an opportunity to retreat?
How about if I slap you several times?
Yep, the pedestrian was a big old dickwad and a danger.
But did you see the part where Mr. Anger Management almost clocked the car that had the right-of-way
This guy created two areas of danger that did not exist before. One was the U turn where he almost hit someone. The second was driving on the sidewalk.
Rule of Law, not Rule of Revenge.
Illegal U Turn.
Driving on sidwalk.
Hitting a guy with the car.
The rock thrower was crazy but the car guy was a dipshit. We tend to give too much leeway to people in cars who fuck up and hit bicyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians so it is not unusual that the driver elicits sympathy, even from a cop like Lost Boy but legally the driver is wrong. Legally both thrower and driver should be arrested.
My logic is flawless since Tarkan assumes driving and rock throwing are slaps.
