Got Road Raged by a Freeper this A.M.

[LeftHander]

Some jackass chimp loving facist came roaring up to my bumper curseing me over his steering wheel. The guy was in a black pontiac grand am and was a giant. Big mean looking bastard this arms the size of my waist. Wearing a black sleeveless tee-shirt and sporting a go-tee. He tailgated me with no less than 6" from his car to mine until he could pull alongside and yell and flip me off at a freeway entrance light.

I have a very noticiable sign in my back window white with block letters that reads:

Where are the weapons?


I'll be looking for him next monday. I have seen this car before and this guy slamming me. Next time I am getting his licsense plate number and calling the police. We'll see how he feels when he get a visit from the cops for his brutish harassing road behavior.


(I am going to VENT now.)

I am still shaking. Part from fear the other anger that this country has gone so much to hell. I am almost to the point of saying let the fuckers take over everything. These people who keep supporting the stupid policies of the neocons are going to be the ones who will wake up one day and wonder why the schools are closed, the roads are crumbling, they lost thier job and are working at Wal-Mart and they have $100,000 in credit card debt that they have no choice.

Fuck them. Let them ruin this country frankly if they want zero taxes they have another thing coming. How else are the repukes going to pay for endless war and suffering?

Tax freeze, tax cut, tax freeze, tax cut....fucking asshole conservative MORONS!

I am going to call the cops anyway...I got a good look at the guy and know his vechicle make and model...

Damn bastard.

end vent

1. Do you have a mobile phone?

If you dial *HP on your mobile phone it will put you in touch with the highway patrol, and you can report the dumbass while he's harassing you. Might be worth a try.

[WoodrowFan]

2. *77 in some states. 911 operator will patch you through as well (nt)

[Liberator_Rev]

4. Even if you don't have a mobile phone,

you can use something else in view of such terrorists to pretend that you are calling and they may be motivated to bug off.

I did that once when I was alone with such a perp on a limited access highway and I swear that he vanished. There mush have been an exit that I didn't see, but at least he took it!

[Bucky__Badger]

3. knuckle dragging mouth breathing republican...

probably in debt up to his one eyebrow already for the Grand Am. Sorry you had to deal with that.

[tedoll78]

5. Do you have a video camera?

Put it in your rear window and tape on your commute. If he gets 6" from your bumper, hit your brakes and let him rear-end you. You'll have the evidence for a great court case where you can bleed him for everything he's worth. More money for the campaign of your choice!

11. he probably doesn't have insurance

12. Can't take the chance of getting hurt

My luck the air bag would blind me and smash my face.

I have a wife and daughter who need me in one piece.

I am actually worried about reporting the clown as he strikes me as a vindictive type that would seek drastic revenge...just what i need to to be killed by some right wing freak.

I did call the police but were unabel to do anything without a lic. plate number.

I am going to get license plate number next week.

6. Get a passenger in your car to video tape him tailgating...

Then get a shot of his license plate as he passes and cuts you off.

7. The small town my mother lives in

is dominated by a few powerful business interests determined to sacrifice the character and identity of the town to cater to outlying wealthy communties, by creating a commercialized, artificial imitation of itself pseudo-colonial shopping mall. Recently they violated zoning ordinances to put in a Starbucks. My mother, fearless activist she is at age 70, protested at the grand opening this past weekend, and has been repeatedly threatened, harrassed and even run off the road by the upstanding good ol' boys business network in this small town.

You are not alone. The microcosm reflects the greater world at large,

9. Wonder what that was?

I would've been somewhat curious to see it...

[Dhalgren]

10. Anyone willing to defend the actions of that

knuckle-tragging "roadwarrior" deserves the "toombstone". The thing that gets me with these freeper creeps is that they have no "there" there. They are generally shallow, with absolutely no introspection or original thoughts. Maybe that makes them scarier than they would be, if they actually acted from human intelligence.

edit: F*ing spelling

[CWebster]

13. I missed it before it was jettisoned

but thanks for the clue.

;-)

[liberalitch]

15. WHAT THE F*&%!!!!!!!

someone actually defended endangering public safety.... on what basis could they possibly do that?

[Iluvleiberman]

14. Call the cops ASAP on this dangerous a-hole

DO IT NOW BEFORE HE KILLS SOMEONE!

JMHO

[Corgigal]

16. Forget it

This type of asshole is probably a criminal type of guy anyway. I mean if you have something to lose would you be driving at a good clip and think harassing people driving is a good thing?
Chances are he has or will shortly violate the community again and will be picked up for something. However the cops wont do much when some idiot does road rage, they just don't. Then you're going to have that rejects anger aimed at you.
He's on his way to either prison or meeting someone with a bigger gun. Let me go, life as a way of getting fair.

17. hit your brakes. Let him rear-end you

In most states it will be his fault.

18. Had Three Bumper STickers ripped off yesterday

in Madison, Wisconsin (of all places, it's very liberal).

They took my "Bush Lied, Thousands Died"

"Anyone but Bush 2004"

and "Bush Lies, Soldiers Die"

I was really really pissed off. Who the hell do they think they are?

[drdigi420]

19. Wife had her car keyed

with her Bush Lied, People Died sign.

Don't be discouraged, this means the signs are working!

As for the freeper, just pull over and let him pass, if he doesn't pass, then you know he's a freeper, if he does, maybe he's just someone in a hurry and you getting out of his way is a good thing.

[Mari333]

21. They ALL know Bush is Toast.

and as the lies start to show up more and more, they will become more rabid.

[Mari333]

20. So sorry that happened

Happened to my husband on the expressway also..large FED EX truck of all things...tailgated then Beeped Loudly, scared the shit out of my husband...hes old, like me...
My husband wanted SO badly to get the FED EX number of the truck...and get the guy fired...no luck..
These morons dont care who they hurt or kill for their glorious king.

22. "Those whom the gods wish to destroy first make ANGRY"

I heard Jesse Jackson say that at a rally he held a few years ago in my local university.

MORAL--don't respond with anger to anger--don't use violence against violence.

When I get tailgated and harassed like that, my first response is to throw the car into a lane blocking spin, get out, and pound the SOB into mincemeat. (I used to wrestle in high school and college--I'm not a pacifist.)

But I have found the best thing to do is simply SLOW DOWN to the minimum safe speed possible. Then if Mr. A$$hole doesn't pass you, you can just pull over on to the shoulder. Smile and wave cheerily as he goes by.

If he pulls over too, wait until he starts to get out of his car, and then squeal the tires out of there. It'll take him a few minutes to get back in his car, at which time you'll be a mile or more down the road.

Not getting mad at assholes is a thinking man's best revenge. It reaffirms once again why we're better than they are!

23. Tacks, I tell you, Tacks

Make a special compartment under you car to hold a bunch of tacks. There should be a way to release the tacks on demand. Next time he gets right up behind you, release the hounds.


Adjust your windshield washers so that they spray over the top of your car as you are going down the road at highway speeds. Then fill the washer bottle with an opaque liquid. When he gets up behind you, press the button max.


Or you could just flick a buggar on his windshield.
