Pardon my cynicism, I love dogs and I donate to many dog training programs like this. But having said that, this looks like it was done for the camera, instead of the camera just being at the right place at the right time, which bugs me.

It also bugs me that "Aspergers" is stamped all over every other story you read now. Now Jerry Seinfeld and David Byrne and apparently half the offspring of half of my coworkers have a "touch of Aspergers" or are on the "autism spectrum". It's like a freaking designer diagnosis now.

And there's no shortage of news stories about someone who was the victim of road-rage or excessive police force who "suffered from Aspergers" and probably didn't understand the situation. Apparently calling them an "honor student" doesn't generate enough pathos anymore.

I'm sure I'll be misunderstood but I have nothing but empathy for this person in the video and all those that GENUINELY suffer from this.

As I recall, it was the kids driveway, and road rage dad followed them home and started a fight with some young teenagers after being cut off or something.

If i was in a nearby car, i might possibly be moved to road rage. I'd have been out and yelling at him to move. People could be fucking dying.

To stop the road rage asshole driving away.

Pro-tip: if you're going to punch someone, either have your escape planned or be prepared to face the consequences....

Huh...the car actually slams into him on purpose to avoid rear-ending the other semi...that is humorous because it was 100% intentional. You see the car jerk, and I watched it multiple times to see if he hit something beforehand that would cause it to swerve and no, it did not...that is one hell of a felony.

Just because he lost the fight he pulled that bullshit? Whoa, I would have hated to see some kid's brains splattered on the street because someone purposely rammed another vehicle while being a dick...might have been road rage or w/e...

As far as the gap closing, yeah, it is pretty obvious the trucker doesn't want the car to cut in front of him when it isn't legal or right for that to happen. The trucker has this right because it is this forced-tailgating when people merge that causes accidents. HE OBVIOUSLY MAKES AN EDUCATED GUESS THAT THE DUMB BITCH WON'T RAM HIM, but he is proven wrong.

Will road rage end with self driving cars? Would be a nice advantage over the current situation.

Sorry man, I've "provoked" this sort of reaction with a guy merely by:

1) Driving at about 10km/h OVER the speed limit,
2) This speed being LESS than what the guy tailgating me obviously wanted to do,
3) Doing a EXTREMELY mild "brake check" ie: barely slowing, just showing brake lights,
4) Waving middle finger after 60 second (actually just over 45 seconds, I timed it) horn blare.

ANYONE who jumps out of their car to confront ANYONE is suffering from road rage. Period. End. Of. Sentence.

Unfortunately, I can't give the father that much credit, because I've seen many a parent, frazzled by their children or work or driving, have completely inappropriate violent reactions to innocent behavior. I've seen it from my own father, and many others.
That said, to me it's totally possible, even likely that Comicbookguy was being a dangerous dickhead driver...just uncertain.

What is certain is that Angrydad's reaction was completely inappropriate. He 1.left his child alone in a car in traffic 2. started an angry confrontation with his child present and 3. reacted with violence when not acknowledged in the way he wished. Not one of those things is good parenting, and put together it's actually actionable.

I have seen 'professionals' say that the less reply you give an angry/road raging person accosting you in your car, the better. I do understand your point though, that it would make one more angry to feel they are being ignored when they are insistent on being heard.

I don't think it's such a leap to think Angrydad might have gone berserk over nothing in the first place. He went completely berserk over being dismissed, why not go partially berserk over not being allowed to merge? (one of the things that had my father go berserk and actually ram another car over that tiny slight) He smashed the window over being disrespected, not over his child being in danger, so to me it could easily be the initial reason he got out of the car, that he felt disrespected (could be, not is).
Comicbookguy's attitude could be seen as smarmy and provocative, or could be following the often given direction to minimize conversation or reaction as much as possible and continue filming, advice I've seen many a time when 'professionals' discussed how to handle road rage. I'm just not ready to go either way for certain on Comicbookguy without seeing the driving issue that started it and/or knowing what kind of guy he is, but I am certain Angrydad's behavior went WAY too far, provoked or not.

In short, I don't disagree that you may be 100% right about Comicbookguy being the legitimate cause or even deserving of what he got, I just can't say for certain either way based on this scant evidence, but I can be certain that dad was in the wrong, understandable or not. If someone being an asshole is reason to be an asshole one's self, we're going to be knee deep in assholes soon! ;-)

Just to reply to this one statement, he only starts out as a raving father and only turned into a violent asshole when the asshole with the camera was dismissive, arrogant, and flippant, taunting him into responding with more than words.

I think it's obvious the father probably had a valid reason to be upset with the camera guy. It's just too big a leap to think a guy would go that berserk over casual bad driving, and camera guy's attitude proves he was probably getting a kick out of causing road rage but was too pussy to back up his cowardly bullshit any more than it took him to barely roll down the window.

I drove right by there just last weekend! Crazy

Maybe yes, maybe no.
Because the sift account is a week old, but the YT account is only 2 hours old, it's possible.
I'm just thinking we shouldn't ban people based on a quick guess.
Maybe he/she was looking at road rage videos on YT and that one came up? I might have sifted a video that was just posted on a new YT account in the past...but I've never posted a video at YT, but by your criteria I might have been banned anyway. (I'm sure there are some here that wish I was!)

If the sift account was younger than the video, I wouldn't have doubt, but since it's a week older than the video/YT account, I do have a reasonable doubt.

It's LIKELY it's their vid...but not definite...at least to me. If it's certain to you, ban! I'm not stopping anyone, just giving my reason for not seconding.
