        That was not “stand your ground.” That was just classic self-defense.

        Ummm.... a guy in the dark who had just used his vehicle as a weapon of force out on a dark country road and said he had a gun was thinking of shooting the person.

        Then back up turn around go the other way call the cops. I’ve had this exact same thing happen to me. I didn’t have to kill anyone just some skillful evasive driving.

        It is just sad in every way. Thank goodness I live in a country where gun ownership is non existent. Just one thing, I am not standing in judgement on US gun ownership or laws, I don't live there and have no opinion.

        2:30am on dark road, truck pulls up next to you stares, pulls in front, slams the breaks, gets out holding something saying he has a gun & will f u up. Yes Uber guy could have done xyz & he and passenger could’ve been murdered. He decided not to risk the 2nd outcome. Good call.

        Maybe. And maybe you get shot thru the window as you try and run. It’s a tough call.

        only thing I can think is someone would have to have an IQ of 6 to create violence in a stand your ground state....

        Then I guess he should have not pulled his car over, open his door & left his gun at home. Yeah?
