Attempted murder. If someone doesn’t report this, I will because this needs to stop.

there is a typo “..a public load..”

No joke that road is like 5 miles from the house I lived in for the first 18 years of my life (seriously you can see it in the video). While he is a being a total douche, I personally have had issues with camera guys on this road (The road is Rangeland Road for anyone thats curious). It makes a great spot for photoshoots (Especially early morning or afternoon!) but sadly everyone seems to think that it is a deserted road in the middle of nowhere. Sadly it is not, there is a massive community at the end of it. It is also the only way to get in and out of that community, i.e. it actually kinda is his driveway

Anyone that lives on/near that road hates it when people come out to shoot cars on it. Yes I am a car guy and I said that. They block the road, step out in traffic, constantly doing burnouts and J turns and high speed drive-bys. I have personally been side swiped when heading over to a friend’s house and stumbled into a drag race (there are several rises and falls in the road that make it hard to see low profile cars). Now granted this is not everyone that goes out there, but to the people that live there, it seems that there are many more bad apples than good ones.

Now I am sure that this post will get buried under all the comments of “That guy’s an idiot” and stuff. Just remember you only see one side of the story, and while he handled this situation poorly, he isn’t way off base. Every member of my family has had at least one altercation with someone on that road. My mom got run off that road when she was pregnant with me.

Have you ever seen anyone other than the guy above use violence

Is that road on private property?

I am on your side. It doesn’t matter the road is busy or not and, if you dont have permission to park the vehicle at the middle of the street along with proper traffic direction then it should not be allowed.

didn’t look like they had traffic blocked off? guy had plenty of room for his giant truck ( wonder what that’s about??) around. Its not like they blocked off the 405.

I understand it being blocked by car guys, but when someone resorts to insulting them and threatening them when they’re clearly willing to go away if asked to then it’s not their fault anymore.

the moment he’d try to run me over is the minute his ass would have been dragged out of that piece of sh!t truck and beaten into roadkill

And you would have been shot, anyone driving a PowerStroke in Ramona is carrying a handgun under the seat of their rig. Police response time out on that road is 15-25 mins. So we always ready to protect ourselves.
