I have cut way back on honking for the same reason. We had a road rage shooting death in our neighborhood last year. I honked at a guy the other week who zoomed across two lanes of traffic to get on an interstate ramp. My wife yelled, "Don't honk, he'll shoot you!"
This is our great 2A society.

Florida is breeding grounds for road rage. I completely abstain from antagonism now (save for a dude I flipped off for holding up the line at my apt complex entrance, then telling him to get the fuck back in his car when he got out - I was in a mood that day).
have had too many friends be the victim of road rage. there was a colleague that worked for my company once who was a perpetrator of it here - like ten years ago or so. he I guess got in a road rage incident with a dude and they must have hit each other so he got out of his car and punched the guy in the car in the face, and that guy was packing and shot him. he didn't die, but he was in bad shape for a while.

I call drivers assholes and tell them to go fuck themselves on my bicycle all the time. At a certain point, I know I'm being reckless, but the options are yelling and maybe getting shot or not yelling and definitely getting hit by some shithead driver.

So in an actuarial sense, would hunting down the person that hit your car and winning a gun fight raise or lower your insurance rates?

I wonder if they got permits for this protest, and if so, how they did so.
In Sacramento, they would always hide behind these group names like "South Africa Survivors" and stuff, then the people who would show up would be identifiable members of various skinhead/fash groups.
If permits were issued to the NSM, then Orlando has some bigger problems than we knew.

Why wouldn't they get permits? Not getting one would violate the First Amendment, no? It's the Skokie argument.
(I uh am not defending them; it's the law)

Oh I know you wouldn't defend them, but I couldn't really tell from where they were standing whether that was just some random stripmall or a place of power— in Sac, they would always be at one end of the capitol building.

As in, if it was just some random dudes at a stripmall, then it might not actually be protected— if it was the stripmall's property. But whatever, I know it's Florida.

Waterford Lakes is a strip mall, basically with Chili's, a Regal, Best Buy, etc.

It's near the University of Central Florida
Also a much bluer area than the rest of FL so they knew they'd get a rise. Pieces of shit.

That Magazineboat Willy shirt will be perfectly legal in 12 days! Though I'm not sure if that will be more appealing or less appealing to the type of people who would wear it
