Did they over react?

Question

NY Daily News Missouri man points gun at woman over her liberal-leaning bumper stickers.

Here's the article: Of course, he overreacted. And she did too. He does a loser sign and then she gives him the finger and then he causes her to get into an accident. He definitely started it because he is the one who decided to respond to her. She should not have then responded just like he never should have started. At the same time, she really made herself a target with all those bumper stickers... I live here in MO and don't feel a need to advertise my disagreement with my neighbors and friends; I disagree with them at the voting booth and occasionally via the Letters to the Editor page in my newspaper.

Absolutely overreacted , people get so retarded over shit , No one deserves a gun pointed at them for there opinion on things , Especially over politics and Government shit , It’s all crooked shit period , All that matters is we are safe and bombs not dropping on us , So yes that guy is retarded and deserves to be thrown behind bars for being a dumb ass , That’s like people starting fights over sports , who cares if your team is losing they will be playing again and again season after season , Honestly I think sports are rigged for the most part for entertainment purposes and money making scams to bring revenue into their city Some of the shit I watched in NFL and NHL was so set up and pathetic I can go on and on why I feel it’s rigged for the most part but I will be typing for hours lol So honestly no one deserves to be getting their ass kicked cuz they root for another team , and supporting their opinion on things , people are retarded when it comes to shit like that cuz bottom line Who Gives A fuck

The fake news only reported this because she was a liberal. Last summer I was driving though town one day in my truck with the Trump stickers on the bumpers. I live in a fairly affluent town where you need to work for a living to be able to afford to live here so most of the time when I drive through town people honk their horn in support of President Trump. But one day this woman started honking at me. I just gave her a big wave and a thumbs up. She followed me to the dump and when I got out of my truck she started screaming that I was a Nazi and that Trump was a criminal and she went on an on. I just laughed at her and fortunately many other people that were there also laughed and I saw one person taking video jut in case she got violent.

I cringe when I see stickers all over a car like that. With that said, pointing a gun at someone over the stickers on their car is way over the top. People need to calm down.

I once saw a car with dolls and a few other toys glued all over it. It was creepy. I didn't point a gun at them.

aWes0MeNeSs · Answer

Yes, that's an extreme overreaction. You can strongly disagree with someone's political views without threatening their life.

Also, this is why I would never have political bumper stickers. People are insane, road rage is an all too common issue, and I don't want my car keyed/to be run off the road/get a gun pointed at me, etc.

BCA6010 · Answer

I've got one of those who works for me. She's actually a pretty solid person until she starts talking politics and you realize she has no clue what she stands for, and just wants to virtue signal.

But I digress... all parties involved are idiots.

WhiteSteve · Answer

I mean…. if that’s all there is to the story, that’s pretty nuts. People are losing their minds in this country, the shit just ain’t that serious. Remember the news is designed to upset you so you’ll keep tuning in, they’re never going to tell you everything is alright, they want to keep us all in frenzied emotional states. Then we all start acting like assholes to each other, and here we are, America 2021.

That IS a lot of bumper stickers though, lmao

ShadezMcgee · Answer

This sounds like something straight from The Sun or The Onion.

Sadly it isn't farfetched given the way politics has made everyone this reactionary. If it is true he is making a bad example of everyone with similar ideals.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

She's probably anti-gun, and he just proved her point. What a dumbass.

TheBigGuy9 · Answer

What’s the full context? Did he literally pull his gun out and point at her because he saw this of were words exchanged prior?

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

That's awful, you cannot point a gun at a person just because they are related to another political party, in the end it's the person's life which matters and not the politics...

I can never hurt a person for such silly reasons...

RolandCuthbert · Answer

I would say if you get mad over someone's politics, you are insane.

But to get angry enough to pull a gun and think about killing someone is beyond insanity.

It requires next level psychiatric treatment, counseling, drugs, and confinement.

Tamera952 · Answer

Yeah, duh... the fact you're asking is slightly alarming. What ever happened to free speech? What does that say about that guy, that bumper stickers got some asshole so triggered he felt compelled to pull a firearm on this lady? - that's shocking for sure.

SaoirseS · Answer

Yes I’d say throwing down on someone over bumper stickers is a pretty severe overreaction.

tomtom05131 · Answer

I don’t trust that the full story is being presented in context. However, if they did needlessly point a gun just because of the stickers, they should go to jail. I don’t believe in the anti-gun agenda, but I believe that any gun crime should be prosecuted to the full extent of the existing laws in place. And, that means Hunter Biden too

Flower7 · Answer

That’s very petty and childish for someone to get so upset over just some bumper stickers.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes, it was wrong, How would that guy feel if the gun was turned on him?

DaveToo · Answer

Gee, if I owned a gun, and pointed it at every Trump bumper sticker or flag, I'd be in prison the rest of my life.,

OnTheLevel · Answer

Assuming this was about bumper stickers, that's a pretty severe over reaction.

worldscolide · Answer

That just seems stupid. Really stupid. I hope he went to jail over that.

Pterodon · Answer

He shouldn’t have done that but with those signs all over she’s just begging to get beat up. That would be like me wearing a fuck blm shirt in Harlem

AndrewMG · Answer

I mean if you're pulling a gun on anyone then that person is over reacting.

madgoat · Answer

Sounds like he did, yes. From what you said anyway.

Likes2drive · Answer

Yeah he did but I don’t think she needs to flaunt it either

Syrian_survivor · Answer

Two lunatics doing lunatic things, nothing new here.

noohair · Answer

That person is unstable and should not have any firearms.

OddBeMe · Answer

Maybe one tire was low so she had to lean the car left to balance….

Guardian45 · Answer

Yes. I'm glad I don't live in a country where people can do dumb shit like that.

Tim-loves-it · Answer

Im a republican,  No I dont care for it, but they do have their own say.

SmokinAces2000 · Answer
