    Yup… drove a small car back from college and two truck bros decided it’d be fun to sandwich my car between them. One rode my rear bumper with high beams, the other slowed down and rode the middle line so I couldn’t pass. Then he’d start slamming his brakes.

      I got furious reading that. I would’ve slammed the brakes and said goodbye to my car at that point. USA hits different man.

        You’d have said goodbye to your head as well, because that lifted truck isn’t going into the rear of the small car… it’s going up and over.

            I’m just lucky the guy in front of me didn’t have his truck configured to roll coal, giving me a smokescreen in addition to blinding high beam.

        it’s all fun and games until they pull out the real gun.

        I called the incident into the police station but it was before I had the dashcam so they just shrugged (and were probably blood related anyway).

          I just saw a play that has a plot point about how someone gets robbed by some racist, well connected shits, and the police won’t do anything to help. The closest he gets to justice is vigilantism, where he hunts down and shoots 3 of his assailants dead. Only then does anyone start to listen to him, but when he agrees to talk peacefully they shoot him dead.

          I’m not sure “the only way you’ll get justice is with your own bloody hands” was the author’s intent, but that seems to be the message.

          Cops usually are the same ones driving BRo trucks, or its likely their kids like you said.

          I do like the box of nails idea though. Keep a flimsy cardboard box of roofing nails in your door pocket for tail gating assholes :)
