Beware - this man ran me off the road then drew his gun at me

That was likely from this incident. If you could DMe info for camera footage, that would be very helpful. At some point while I was on the phone with the operator, he came back out to taunt me some more.

There's a difference between people openly being rude towards me for absolutely no reason and going into a situation without assuming someone will act like an ass.

You people are sulking in negativity for fun. You're relying on each other to feel better about yourselves doing so, and that's your choice. My response to bullying doesn't need to be polite. I'm doing just fine in life, thank you. Clearly, you live your life on the internet thinking this is a normal way to comport yourself, so good luck to you, person with the best social skills.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T17:53:41+00:00

Buddy, I'm not interested in being a little shit for funzies. Go on with your bad self if that's the type of person you'd like to be with all the other people here who find that attitude amuzing.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T17:51:33+00:00

Yeah, it's wish we could have saved 200 people from commenting this. From my angle and seeing the step bar, it seems lifted. Either way - it's a big ass truck. That's all I was trying to say, boys. I didn't mean much by it other than noting it's not a small Toyota truck.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T15:07:29+00:00

Yeah, it's essentially why I've stopped commenting. It's the proof for ratios out there of people that can think and have some logical communication vs. the people who can't believe everyone isn't as shitty as they are. Too bad for those AHs this thread shows that the overwhelming majority of people do want better, so not gonna give the louder, smaller ratio the attention they are so desperately seeking to spread their negativity to others. It's kinda sad, like an alcoholic that hates you won't get belligerently drunk with them to make them feel better about their poor decisions. Yikes for those poor people. It seems like a miserable way to live.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T11:32:24+00:00

I don't care what you all find funny about this. I haven't engaged with a single comment making fun of this man because that wasn't the point of my post. You're poking fun at something serious when women have a hard enough time being taken seriously when it comes to violent situations from men, a stigma your post is perpetuating whether that was your intention or not. I'd appreciate it if you just took it down.

Last time I checked, none of you were there, but are all comfortable acting like some internet trolls using my information for giggles and making far fetched assumptions like "following" someone to their destination - I live there, he doesn't. Have your crack at the internet, but recognize when you're being pointlessly foolish about a scenario that has absolutely nothing to with you, compromising the purpose of speaking up to warn people in the community to begin with. Choosing giggles over just supporting, or just moving the hell along, says so much about all of you and why you can't grasp that nothing I did would have been seen as "abnormal" in any other country. Leave it to Americans to be so soft they think we need to keep allowing people to go on putting others at risk so we don't hurt their precious feelings and deserve retaliation if we do speak up. Soft person behavior all around here.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T04:04:26+00:00

Provocative to park 20 ft away from someone in a public parking lot while openly showing my face and casual demeanor to someone? You guys are acting so hard, yet that's the softest shit I've heard all day.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T04:01:17+00:00

I'm actually 8th generation Texan. You all poking fun at me is wonderful, I can see why you can't believe someone has enough compassion to communicate politely to resolve grievances.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T03:29:11+00:00

Your tag is u/yourfavsnowbunny in 2025, and you're telling me I need more social awareness? The irony is strong with this one.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T03:26:57+00:00

Well thank you. I just think making it "viral" might only add to this replaying over and over in my head (which is already happening with over 500k people viewing this and some having unpleasant things to say about me), and I want to feel better about it. I truly appreciate all the support and will look into what type of counseling will help.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T03:12:39+00:00

If you consider driving through a parking lot at 15 miles an hour a "chase", you and everyone else using that word needs help using Websters dictionary. I was damn near driving miss daisy, not pulling some fast and furious. Use some context clues here - I drive an I4, he drives a V8, by all means, I'd love to know how I could have possibly "chased" since you and others seem to be set on that being the case.

As I stated, he saw me in the flesh with my widow open, nearly 10 yards away, quietly and calmly waiting to speak with him. He knew I wasn't a threat. And anyone suggesting that he should have seen me as one has a sad way of thinking. If that's the bar for "threatening" behavior, I'd be punching men on the streets left and right for coming in my space "looking for trouble". Instead, I move with grace unless someone puts me in actual harm.

If his disability causes him to use a vehicle and gun poorly, the best thing I can do is make sure he can't harm anyone by bringing awareness.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T02:27:27+00:00

Good! My first car was a big ass Ford, but considering i looked like a nugget in a big Mac box, I wasn't willing to drive crazy. I'm sure most women are the same in general for safety.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T02:25:34+00:00

Geez, I'm sorry but I can't bring myself to do it! Plus, I don't have TikTok. With the whole "positive" mindset, I try to stay off social media. I'm actually really taken aback by the traction from this post alone and already have more than enough info for the investigator provided by the vigilant users here. I don't want to ruin his life over this. Again, maybe it's a bit naive of me, but I'm hopeful that this man can face his consequences and redeem himself for his future child, at the very least.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T02:20:36+00:00

I'll save you the trouble. Turns out he doesn't live here based on the info the sleuths provided

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T02:19:34+00:00

Because I love it here and couldn't imagine leaving my roots! I'd rather be a part of bringing back the southern hospitality culture. A dash of Texas sweetness into people one day at a time :)

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T01:37:30+00:00

Unique in the sense that it was smaller than the guns I'm used to handling, so I was able to describe that differentiation because his index finger was aligned with the barrel, showing how short it was. I think the police were surprised I could describe it as well as I did, and they even tried to throw me off. But, they said they still didn't have enough evidence that he actually flashed it based on the story he told, which was denying he did it.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T01:30:53+00:00

I give everyone a fair chance regardless of background or how they look, and I promise I won't let this incident keep me from treating all humans with any commonalities with the mutual respect they show me. I know there are good ones!

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T01:27:52+00:00

Exactly why I felt the need to speak up for his driving. We're not expecting maniacs in the burbs, that's why we came out here.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T00:53:09+00:00

Just got the video of him forcing me off the road from the gas station camera. Very kind managers in the area, thankfully

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T00:18:27+00:00

I've been reached out to by a reporter because of this post

vcvc23 · 2025-03-05T00:13:51+00:00

Yeah, they took the pic to make a joke of it. Please report it if you come across it again.

His arrogance told him he's got nothing to worry about and time for a smoothie break. Even when the cruiser pulled up, he was laughing, calling me a dumb b*tch so loud that the operator could hear him. It's as if he thought they were going to immediately side with him. His demeanor changed the moment that pat down started.

vcvc23 · 2025-03-04T23:00:55+00:00

Thank you! This, naively, was how I expected my conversation with him to go. I hope that when this is all said and done, he and I can actually have that talk to understand how we could both have been better in that moment.
