JURY RESULTS
A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sat Apr 27, 2013, 07:10 PM, and voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT ALONE.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Send all this shit back to the gungeon. It makes GD suck when people can't get along. A pox on everybody's house in this thread.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Uhhhhh.... Nope?
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I am sooooooooooooooo through with these
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Number 1: This is not road rage, this is parking lot rage.
Number 2: The poster states that the guy with the gun broke the law and should be locked up. What, that's not good enough for you, Mr. Alerter? Should we send him to Gitmo and let a military commission decide his fate?
Number 3: It sounds like the woman AKA "The Victim" was being an idiot too. C'mon, sister, find another spot. Other people have lives to live too.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Inappropriate and unnecessary alert
Thank you.

The guy pulled up next to her to wave the gun, so clearly there was room to get around her

That is the question that I had. He could have simply drove around her car. I do that often at

Properly trained gun owners are "forced" to have more consideration for others? What?

What are you saying? That a properly trained gun owner wouldn't wait for a parking spot?

She doesn't need to own a gun to know you can't use it to get a parking spot.

A number of people wait outside stores to pick up someone coming out. Would he have pulled his gun

It does feel like there's some additional motivation at play besides just 'holding up traffic'

Yet if she weren't so lazy and inconsiderate, he'd not been provoked. Can you read what you wrote?

Even if he had to wait 10 minutes, you don't threaten people's lives. It's a mall, not an ER.

It is against the law to brandish a firearm. Criminals who do so should be prosecuted to the fullest
