Topic: My Dad was a victim of road rage.

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

Simple case of self defense by an old guy 

Too bad your dad didn't bait him into unlawfully entering the house, er I mean too bad he didn't illegally follow your dad into the house and your dad then take advantage of the "Make My Day" laws that some states have

I appluad your Dad and Semper Fi to him. If any of you run into a situation where you are being tailed thiis way, call 911 and get it on record that you are being harrassed and followed by another driver, AND you fear bodily harm. This way, if you do happen to smack some a hole, you have the grounds for self defense since alll 911 calls are recorded.  Some localities may not handle the way these cops did.

Read this again. I was a Cop at one time. You are reporting a crime in progress, there is a timeline. You have the belief you are in danger, it becomes a matter of public record. Now you are confronted. Now grab the Pr1ck by the ear and clean his clock. You need a credible defense, now you have one.

Right on.  Plus police discretion goes a long way. 
Yes, that guy may try to slap a civil suit on my dad, but his case has too many holes to win.  The court will most likely reject it from the start based upon the fact that in a fit of road rage he followed my parents onto their property and punched my old man in the head.

Plus the dude was drunk off his a$$........I don't think he would win a court case like that!!

I think that guy is lucky your dad stopped.

Last "old fart" ex-marine I saw get into a fight nearly killed the punk.
He was nearly 70, and the punk was trying to rob the liquor/grocery store he was in.

He ended up shooting the kid with his own gun in the shoulder(after tackling and beating him a bit), and kept him there until the cops arrived.

Marines KICK ASS at any age.
Yet another "thanks for serving" from me to your old man!
