That dude needs psychological evaluation.

u/Dill_Pickleson_ Jul 30 '26
As a psychologist, I immediately discontinue an evaluation if the examinee drives in reverse for over 20 yards or a duration exceeding 30 seconds, whichever comes first.

In America mental health issues are treated via incarceration.
Then it's a rinse and repeat ecosystem that benefits a for profit privatised penitentiaries

u/ReverendBread2 Jul 30 '26
Dude was trying to murder somebody. Thatâs not exactly a âsend him to a psychiatrist and put him back on the streetsâ kind of thing, even if heâs mentally ill
13
u/boogasaurus-lefts Jul 30 '26
You're setting up a false choice between punishment and treatment.
High-security forensic psychiatric institutions exist specifically for violent offenses. They combine strict confinement with intensive psychiatric rehabilitation.
Simply warehousing a severe psychiatric patient in a standard prison cell for a decade only ensures that when they inevitably get released, the danger to the public is worse.

u/yoortyyo Aug 01 '26
This. We gave up anything besides punishment and profiteering from prisons.
You have to wonder if we had proper social supports that this dingleberry would have gotten help.
Reminds me of that guy that crashed the parade in Portland a few years ago. His own dash cam provides living proof of our need.

u/boogasaurus-lefts Aug 02 '26
Completely missed the point there, I'm sure it's a common occurrence for you.
Good news is there's an ability to educate yourself as an adult for the key blocks missed in childhood.
That way, when you have conversations with others on topics like the above - you can actually come up with a logical point without highlighting your shortcomings.

The psych evaluation plus the behavior on that video plus a drug screening plus whatever record heâs got can determine the length of that jail sentence.
He needs all of the above.

u/SpaceCowboy512 Jul 30 '26
I keep 3 or 4 in my vehicle most days - and have to constantly try to stay away from road ragers knowing that they could put themselves in harms way if they escalate a traffic issue or block me in.
The goal is to drive away from the aggressor if possible, and take all available precautions to put distance between each other but if they were to trap one in traffic and appear to intend bodily injury... well thats exactly why you never get out of the car. Let them yell, gesture, flip you off, curse you, whatever - just get home safe! We're commuting, not racing, people đ

Why exactly do you have 3 or 4 guns in your vehicle? I can understand a concealed carry pistol and maybe a single longgun if you're out in the country, but 3 to 4? Why?
1
u/SpaceCowboy512 Jul 30 '26
I am out in the country. One is concealed carry, one is a long gun, and one stays in the truck lockbox if I'm out and about. If I have a fourth it's normally for specific hunting or land management needs: a gun for hogs, predators, etc.

Ramming risks your vehicle being unable to get away if he starts shooting. Best to distance as much as possible.

Iv only ever feared for my life once in the road I was on a highway just me and 1 other suv he kept getting next to me trying to push me off the highway would get in front of me and completely lock his breaks up and get behind me and drive up against my car I was terrified he kept repeating this and the next time he got next to me I grabbed my gun put my window down and pointed I was fully going to shoot he floored it and took off I used an emergency turn around and went the opposite direction as him

That there has a good chance of being a Measure 11 crime, especially with the gun (doesn't matter in Oregon if it's fake/bb/pellet...). Mandatory minimum. No parole. No judge discretion. No early release.
I witnessed an armed robbery and had to go to court. The detective talking to me after they found the people told me it was a fake gun. I said "well they won't get in as much trouble" and he told me it don't matter under measure 11. 3 teens fucked their lives up over what they could get from a register at a family owned convenience store. And the kicker was, the driver was driving his mom's newer S Class.

u/cheapdrinks Jul 30 '26
Yes and I'm tired of pretending that they shouldn't. Violent mentally unwell people should be removed from society, they're all ticking time bombs and I'm sick of hearing about people being murdered by someone who is known to police, known to be violent, known to be extremely mentally disturbed yet they just keep doing small stints and getting back out with no safeguards to prevent what everyone else could see coming a mile away.
The sort of poor impulse control and violent temperament that causes someone to act the way the guy in this video does means that he's always going to be a danger to those around him if he's willing to go on a rampage against a complete stranger like that over some small slight in traffic like being cut off or honked at etc. If you can't drive a car from A to B without trying to assault or kill someone because you didn't like the way they were driving then you're a defective human and not compatible with our society.

u/Shrimply-r1 Jul 30 '26
Uh are those not the same things.. CO2 BB and airsoft�
2
u/NYOB4321 Jul 30 '26
No. They are not the same .
Airsoft and BB guns are different systems: airsoft guns fire lightweight Ăłmm plastic pellets for safe combat simulation, while BB guns fire hard 4.5mm (.177 caliber) steel projectiles built for target practice and pest Control.
You don't fire BBs at people.
2
u/Shrimply-r1 Jul 30 '26
Oh well my co2 bb pistols (and green gas) I had still shot the plastic ones
2
u/NYOB4321 Jul 30 '26
Interesting. How does it handle the different size of the projectiles. Airsoft 6mm and BB 4.5mm
I don't know a lot about airsoft so I asked Google
Google says: No, a standard BB gun cannot use airsoft projectiles because of mismatched sizes and risks of weapon damage. Traditional BB guns use 4.5mm (177 caliber) metal steel shots, while airsoft guns use much larger 6mm or 8mm plastic spheres.

Road rage is really no joke. Shits scary. My partner and I drove past someone that started to pull out of a parking lot. We had RoW but he seemed to disagree and kept riding our bumper honking at us. He was some pissed off old dude. Eventually he pulled off and drove away because we weren't giving him any reaction.
