Am I a bad guy for thinking that Porsche driver got what he deserved??

Perhaps he did not deserve to die...But then again...maybe, just maybe, when you make it a POINT to get out of your car and physically attack someone else's property and engage in physical threats, you wind up reaping what you sowed.

I'm sure we'll get more facts coming out during the trial. But as someone who has encountered more than one "road rager", I can sympathize with the defendant in this case. The defense attorney will need to convince the jury that his client felt a clear and present threat to his physical safety, and that the use of deadly force was applicable. I'm rooting for the defense!

BTW, noticed RH pointed out the kid has a minor record. But that same story says the "victim" (Porsche guy) was ticketed TWICE recently for "following too closely". The poor "victim" sounds like your typical tail-gating sports car A-hole...
