Disgusting, but not surprised at all.

I heard that because we are hyper alert while driving our reactions are also elevated to extremes as well. This would explain why drivers often come across as more irritable and ready to fly off the handle, I notice myself complaining way more than usual while driving. Now put someone who's already mentally unhinged and with a gun behind the wheel. Give people plenty of space and don't be in a rush is always my advice.

Above your pay grade

My guess would be that, in his mind, at a recent intersection, you did him wrong, and you're going to pay.
In my experience in the city, the most aggressive, adamant, vocal drivers are those with no actual clues about the rules of the road or traffic laws. Ironically, they view themselves as authorities on the topic. The guy you're going to meet in this situation is someone who just made a right turn from the left lane, across 4 lanes of traffic.

This is pretty harrowing. I'm really sorry to hear that OP. Hopefully you got the plate number because BCPD don't take things seriously without it, sadly.
I hope you spend the time to get some therapy and heal, having a gun pointed at you for no reason can cause trauma issues to pop up later if you don't take it seriously now, no joke.

Yes, I’m a practicing physical therapist in the city. Most of my patients now are victims of random violence. Years ago I saw many sports injuries and vehicle accidents, now my roster is primarily shooting victims. They weren’t dealing drugs or in the game as people call it. They were minding their own business walking to or from work or riding the bus, or driving in the city when a random interaction escalated fast to violence. Most say they don’t know what happened or what they could do differently to avoid it in the future. I focus on Medicaid and medical assistance hmo patients because that’s the greatest need in the city but these incidents happen to people of all walks of life. Please be careful and avoid anything that might become confrontational.

Stupid question lol but do you think he would have actually shot me? I know he had major issues and was just trying to act tough and I was taking no chances but still?

It's a tax credit. Which means it can be used to offset a liability. In order to benefit, recipients will need income already. And they can only receive money paid in taxes.

- the zoo is not as good as the Smithsonian, although there is a poor polar bear swimming in circles
- you can walk around Fells Point, Hampden, Federal Hill
- Guinness Open Gate brewery is fun
