Sooner or later one of these a-holes is going to screw with the wrong Tesla owner and get themselves dead. To be honest, it may as well be sooner - maybe it will serve as a deterrent to people who don’t know how to live in civilized society.
The lady that was attacked is over 60, so it is possible that elevated charges could be filed. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that charge though..
When my brother went to NAU many years ago, the town was blue, but there were many cowboys in the area, and they didn't always get along with the students. Cowboy bars featured neon Coors beer signs.
Especially since Prescott is home to the Ruger factory that makes semi-auto pistols, and one of their big distributors (Davidsons) is right across the airfield from them. Hundreds if not thousands of handguns are produced there each day M-F.
Apparently Post #31 thought it was perfectly normal for a woman to roll down her window to see what the guy wanted!!
Where am I off base?
Did you mean to say “normal people DON’T DO what this dude did? I agree about being ready and able to handle a situation like that (even for we ladies) but don’t understand the “dude” part.
Are you kidding? How is calling her dumb going after the innocent? It was real smart that she lowered her window, right?
You’re a real piece of work. Glad you’re not my neighbor.
Tell you what slick, go up to some innocent person on the street and call them dumb and stupid to their face. Report back and lemme know how that goes for ya.
I know, but 61 year old ladies sometimes have a thing about not shooting people. Ditto for carving up arms that come through their car window. I guess the woman in wuestion is now taking firearm training. She may not be able to shoot someone, regardless.
If Tesla customers were mostly people whose other vehicle was a Harley, this probably would not have happened. Or if Tesla was the first choice of the NRA Board of Directors, or the favorite vehicle of Rooftop Koreans.
If you’re too scared, not responsible enough etc to carry a firearm, get dispenser of pepper spray for 8 bucks. But problem is sometimes wasp and pepper spray don’t work on deranged mental cases, druggies etc. Don’t believe me, ask any cop.
It’s probably hearsay, at this point. It’s Sunday...I’ve seen on a couple of posts that he’ll be arraigned, tomorrow. I hope he’s sitting in jail, wanting a cold beer, and thinking about what a dumbass he is.
Be proud of yourself for calling an 89 year old grandmother slick.
I had no idea you’re a 89 year old grandma. Next time I’ll be like you and just assume who you might be. Bye the way grandma, you sure like to dump on the unsuspecting innocent. Give the lady a break. Most people are not trained or prepared for sudden events like this to occur, while simply driving down the highway. This woman was over 60 and also old enough to be a grandma. You grandma’s ought to stick together.
Also, the most likely reason she rolled down the window is because she was startled and had no idea what the issue was, and the only way to find out was to try to communicate. That’s not foolish, that’s a basic human reaction.
Good to see Tesla owners purchasing guns and using the gun range. Suddenly the 2A is now being understood.
“Especially since Prescott is home to the Ruger factory that makes semi-auto pistols, and one of their big distributors (Davidsons) is right across the airfield from them. Hundreds if not thousands of handguns are produced there each day M-F.”
It’s about seven miles from where I live. I have three guns made from my home, including one of the earliest P89s made there. I’m making four next month when I get the RXM.
Yavapai County is one of the first to designate itself as a 2A Sanctuary County and likely has the highest number of gun stores per capita in the country.
Looking at the video the Tesla driver wanted to get away from the kook. When she tried to go around him to the right he cut her off. She had 2 driving options. Jump the curb to get around him, or backup and go to the left side of his car. She did neither. In this case getting punched in the face may be the best option. If she jumps the curb, the Tesla battery pack is likely to be damaged. If she backs up and ends up running over the guy, their is likely to be a lengthy court case.
I like option 3, the victim could have floored the Tesla, pushing the suspect vehicle down the road and over a cliff.
There’s a good argument to be made for having non-lethal options available. Even a justifiable shoot can cost you big $$$. That tub-o-crap wasn’t worth it. She should have had pepper spray in the car.
