Me too, seriously. but forget about criminal matters, in the sixties if you messed with someone that was in they're twenties such as hit they're car with a snowball they gt out of they're car and kick your azz. I saw it, i experienced it several times The general rule was if your ten to sixteen, seventeen, you don't get stupid with guys in they're twenties. And if you went to your parents and told them that someone backhanded you for hitting they're car with a snowball, or spit on someones car, you'd get another beating. That was the parental mindset. You guy who hit you did so because you did something wrong. Now adays the parents would call the police and sue the driver, because their little darling can do no wrong. Just the other day i was going for an eye exam. At a certain point this car comes flying up on me and starting sitting on my bumper. I'm going 40 mph and this kid (in his early twenties) is so close i can't see the headlights on his car in my rear view mirror. Aftr a couple of miles there are signs that say (Slow down bridge work ahead) i figure this will cause him to slow down and back off, it doesn't, as i slow down he gets closer. I then see a cop on traffic duty and decide i'm going to stop and ask the cop to warn the clown behind me. I slow down and stop, before i can put my window down the cop tuns and yells at the kid "slow down, your going to cause an accident" I ask the cop to tell the kid to stop tailgating me, he nods and i drive away. As i drive away i can se the cop wagging his finger at the kid and telling him something. Ive only gone about a hundred yards when i see the (brown audi) racing after me and he starts tailgating me again. As i'm messing with the windows (i accidentely put down more than one) he passes me so he can flip me off, were about two hundred yards from a major intersection. He ends up at red light behind a dump truck full of trash. In the past i have gotten out of my car to confront azzholes like this but i'm worried about getting to the doctors office on time. And if i had gone over to his car and did something kinetic i'm sure that someone would get my tag # , i'd get arrested, and the pukes parents would sue me. Plus this is taking place in holyoke ma, it crossed my mind that a kid acting that aggressive might have a gun. And it was just a couple of days before this that i told my self that things are getting really crazy, don't confront people, let go of your road rage.
I thought this was bizarre behavior on the kids part doing this right infront of a cop, so i asked around and was told..no they don't care, these kids don't care nowadays.
