Tele-commuting looks better by the day.
Ozark man aimed gun at woman whose political bumper stickers he found 'stupid'
An Ozark man faces a felony charge and a civil lawsuit after he allegedly pointed a gun at a local Democratic activist whose political bumper stickers he disliked. Edward K. Burns, 48, of Ozark has been charged with unlawful use of a weapon, a class E felony, after an alleged Aug. 24 road rage incident described in Christian County court documents.

• Man triggered by Bumper stickers
• Man pulls along side the car and flashes the "L" sign
• Other driver replies by flipping the bird
• Man pulls .380 from hip holster and points it at other driver
• Other driver swerves in panic and crashes

From Article: Ransin acknowledged that Umphenour's decision to flip off the other driver indicated "equally poor judgment, but she didn't pull out a fully loaded weapon and point the barrel at his face."
So, by not pointing a gun at someone she didn't actually show equally poor judgement. There goes the "both sides" argument.

It's like the posters on this forum encapsulated in one news story.

Those bumper stickers are groan worthy.

There's a lady who drives around in my town and every inch of her car is covered in bumper stickers like this. EVERY INCH.

Still pulling a gun on someone over bumper stickers, or even getting flipped off is fucking retarded, especially when you started it.

Guys an asshole and a criminal.

Can't help but laugh at the person with a don't be a dick sticker flipping someone off, however.

So in this scenario, were the woman in the sienna to have had a gun, she would have completely been in her right to draw and fire back on him because she believed he posed a threat, correct?


Damn second amendment not functioning properly.

WHERE'S MY STREET JUSTICE?

Political bumper stickers are pretty dumb. But antagonizing the person in that car because you got triggered by those bumper stickers and then pulling a gun on them to score "tough" guy points is far far dumber.

This guy needs to win a free stay in prison. Along with the privilege of paying the driver a hefty compensation, so he can go out and buy a shit ton more stupid bumper stickers.

Unable to contain your rage at the sight of an opinion you disagree with plastered to the back of some rando's car.

K bye. World didn't need you around anyway.

Never put bumper stickers on your vehicle. It's just asking to be pulled over by a cop trying to make quota that has a differing political opinion than yours.

Crazy stupid to get upset over having the bird flipped your way.

[Mihalik]

But but...Trump is President!

Maybe Trump can pardon him too.

America is a free country and you have a right to express political thoughts without fear of violence.

That goes both ways imo and i hope this retard gets thrown in jail just like if someone pulled a gun on a car with right wing bumper stickers.

It really is morons like this who give us gun owners a bad name!

Too bad she wasn't armed and this wasn't stand your ground.

Ya, like that he could have legally shot her dead by saying she pulled a gun on him first. Great idea.

Well he'd have to have witnesses. And since evidence would be against him he'd be going to prison.

The other guy started it.

The only crime here was the sticker weirdo not keeping control on the road. Your car is an extension of your home by law and you can do as you please with your firearms in your car.

Clearly the law doesnt agree with you otherwise this guy would not be looking at jail time.

So you are saying I can legally shoot people walking on the street, as long as I do it from my porch? Or do I have to be inside? Maybe snipe them from the second story bedroom window?
