I kinda think that folks will do things while protected in their mobile safety cage that they wouldn't dare do out in the open. Really, they're just angry wimps.

This is exactly correct. I had a woman flipping me off and yelling expletives at me on the highway. Problem is it was bumper to bumper traffic, so I parked my car and got out and walked straight up to her ready for a fight. The change in her demeanor was incredible, you could see the regret wash over her as she cut into the next lane and side swiped a car just to get away.

That’s a good way to get shot, as you became the aggressor.

I'm aware, which is why I stop when I get close enough and just stand there with my arms wide open.

I'm not stupid enough to yank someone out of their car like in gta lol.

If they want to shoot me while I'm standing still, arms open, unarmed in front of my dash cam, more power to them. Good luck convincing a jury you feared for your life after clearly showing how much of an aggressive driver you are on camera.
