Hey man,how you been!?!
I just don't know about shooting him. These days some chicks could beat him up. No seriously though,it would be much interesting to me if we could get some more information on this. If I could see for myself,the first thing I would look for is did she have an out? Second thing I'd want to know is why was her first impulse shooting someone. About her and the son,there was NO reason to exit the car in my honest opinion so we agree on that they should be charged.

Ok first: I don't honestly know what I would have done until put in that situation. I'd hope I'd bang up a few cars trying to get away before shooting as my first impulse.

Me and some friends went over this. Nobody is 100% sure what happened from my understanding. There are supposedly a few different tales,I even heard(rumor mill) there was a camera somewhere that caught it. I haven't seen it,as I said that's the rumor mill story.

Second: There's a whole lot of should have and shouldn't have. Each person is responsible for what they say and do.

Third: Myself being him- I would NOT have gotten off my bike to approach anyone. If that driver did something that almost caused me to get hurt or worse,I would have gotten a license plate number and called the police. Safer! May not get anything done about it or any satisfaction out of it,maybe you will,but it's SAFER!

Myself being her: I keep the doors locked at all times already. Window doesn't go all the way down as my own rule. I would have looked for an out. Can I drive off? Can I back up and drive off? If no,then I would have called 911 to report where I am and that a man is angry and approaching me and I have nowhere to go. Automatically the 911 dispatcher will tell you DO NOT GET OUT. Tell them where I am. I'd tell him with the window closed of course that the Police are on their way and to get away from my car. ***This is providing he doesn't have a weapon in his hand.***

If I see he has a weapon,I'm ripping up cars and pavement to get out one way or another. Then I'll call 911 and explain. Or if I have my stungun on me then he'll get zapped.

I personally wouldn't have even thought to shoot him. I would have been looking for an out to take off. At NO point would I get out until an officer got there.

As for Ms. Parrish, she was probably not nearly as threatened as she makes herself out to be. It was daylight. There was a ton of people around. She was inside an SUV. He was not displaying a gun. Driving off, even if it meant damaging other vehicles was the smart thing to do.
