        Thanks all. What a senseless loss. Now two families have a lot of grief coming.

          I read the news story. It was the guy that shot him that called the police. It sounds like he was truly remorseful as well. This is nothing but pain for everyone.

                  There’s a lovely and kind woman who works for the foundation who’s ex-husband was incarcerated for a road rage incident. She ended up divorcing him in prison.

                    The credibility some give to physical altercations as a means to resolve conflict will never not be idiotic and absurd. The only "cool" fight is one where neither participant does any actual damage. Then maybe you get to talk about it afterwards as if it were cool.

                    Education is extremely important.

                      Thinking about it and knowing Andy pretty well, I suspect the guy pulled the gun first and then Andy struck him. I cannot see him just attacking the guy over a traffic issue.

                        Very sorry to hear of the tragedy. I’m not saying someone shouldn’t carry a gun but if you don’t have the gun you won’t think about using it. But of course it all depends on where you are and the threats you might encounter.

                        Anyway. Very sorry to hear of the death.

                            I wonder if any dashcam car footage will come about.... not likely, but there are cameras everywhere these days.

                                Just checked out the intersection on Google Maps street view... didn't see any cameras.

                                  Wow, sorry for your friend, Mik.

                                  Don't carry a weapon, but if I did, I'd like to think I could always keep in mind an obligation to try and de-escalate a situation...Even if I'm "right"
