Different situation, imagine it flipped. This asshole followed me and a buddy up a dark mountain, tailgating, Then blowing the horn and flashing lights. Tried to let him pass, didn't want it. It dead ended at a parking lot for hikers, it was empty. Fucker gets out, driver stays seated (?). We were actually going here to hike.
I tell the fucker to get back in his car, my buddy and him yell some shit back and forth but he keeps advancing. I'd had enough of it and the driver was making me nervous so I drew on his ass and DEMANDED he leave.
This motherfucker looks me in the eyes and says, "What, you gonna shoot me?" Uh, yeah, actually seriously thinking about it! Who gets out of a car by himself to advance on two grown healthy young men? For no reason? I tell him "no" and try pointing it at his buddy's car and saying, "no, but I'll blast your goddamn car and you two can walk five miles back to the city." That was actually more moving to him than threat of death, I guess THAT he took seriously. Whatever, it ended it all without anyone getting hurt. When we went hiking, they did come back to throw rocks at my buddy's beater. How childish.
Go figure, but I've seen this more than once. In fact, until someone pulls the trigger, this is the kinda shit you can expect out of at least half the people in the SE US. I don't know what it is.
My guess is the guy had a few already and some stupid alcohol shit in his head said, "yeah dude, you're the badass here tonight".
For my .02, Threadcutter is still the resident badass around here.
