Nope. Especially when he pulled the pistol BEFORE there was any threat.

I have no issue with that. The other guy was a potential threat. I might have done the same. But I would not fire without a clear threat and a clearer shot.

If you’re a road rage kind of guy, maybe don’t carry a pistol in your console.

The announcer said the shooter said guy was making threatening gestures out of camera range.
Once he started shooting he was ducking and just firing wildly.
Don't bring a water bottle to a gun fight.

Popper was on his way to work when he cut another driver off on I-95 near Northwest 151st Street in Miami, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
Video then shows the other driver tailgating him and honking his horn.
Popper then slams on his brakes.
At one point, the other driver pulls up to Popper’s side and hits his car with an unknown object, according to FHP.
“I saw his arm out the window, holding something in his hand,” he said.
Popper says he was shot at.
“I was in fear for my life at that point, and once I heard a gunshot, I returned fire,” he said.
Video from inside his vehicle shows Popper firing his gun multiple times. Both drivers pulled over to call 911.
Popper was later charged with aggravated assault.
Attorney Robert Gershman said his client stood his ground and that dismissing the charges against him is justice served.
“Mr. Popper’s actions were justified, reasonable and lawful,” Gershman said.
The other driver claimed he didn’t have a gun and threw a water bottle at Popper’s car, according to the arrest report.

Yeah, he doesn't strike me as a "learned his lesson" kinda guy.

Gotta be something else there, for them to drop the charges.

Yeah, no doubt. Quite obviously the video was edited.
