IMO,The person that goes around flipping people off should be the one to grow up.. Not to say I haven't done that before, but when I did I knew that it can and sometimes will provoke a violent response, and I was prepared to deal with that. I don't think people really understand what they are doing, or they are in most cases just a beeyotch when they flip you off. Would they do it if you were face to face ?? I think in most instances probably not. There is a reason why that type of behavior is against the law, and if you are able to let it roll off your back good for you, but if you do it to someone who doesn't let it roll, be prepared for what may happen. As far as you stating that you could take a double tap to the chest for someone climbing on your car and hitting you through the sunroof ?? Why not just close the sunroof and see what happens from there ?? Do you think the shooting would be justified if it was the initial response to a simple battery ?? Two wrongs don't make a right, I was just trying to show what may happen just like you were..
