Road Rage

This case reminds me of the Zimmerman/Martin case. Over in Zionsville, IN, a motorist, Brad VanHowe, passed a cyclist, Jeremy Steiman and then promptly slammed on his brak in an attempt to, I dunno, rattle/injure/kill Steiman who proceeded to whip out his trusty .45 & squeeze off a few rounds. I get it. I thought about fashioning a frame mounted holster at one time.
As in the Zimmerman/Martin case VanHowe was harassing Striman when the victim turned the tables on his harasser with potentially lethal force. Fortunately, nobody was killed this time.
Inexplicably in this case, however, VanHowe, who admits to reckless endangerment wasn't charged with anything - just his intended victim who fought back. Steiman claims to have been assaulted by motorists in the past and cited that as his reason for carrying a gun & acting proactively. Now Stieman stands to be assaulted by the courts.
yay
