Why did he just sit there, watch it, allow vandalism and not raise a finger to try and stop it? Makes me wonder if the whole video was staged. And there must have been other witnesses in the neighbors, too.....one of their cars was involved.

Wow LOL. She legitimately tried to kill him.

He did the right thing IMHO. If he had tried to intervene or stop her, he would have escalated it or potentially done something that could have come back on him. Now he has video evidence he can take to the police.

Wonder if he saw her coming straight at him when she rammed into the back of his car. Looks like he was focusing the camera towards the car and by shear luck stepped off to the side before she crashed into it. Could've ended MUCH worse than a few scratches and broken windows.

I agree he did the right thing. I know someone who went thru something very similar. His girlfriend could do virtually anything to him but he is the one that was originally arrested. When the truth came out, he still had that stigma. Unfortunately gender discrimination still exists in situations such as this

Well, the laws against vandalism apply to them as much as men. The real problem is that people, both men and women, need to control their tempers. Losing them just isn't worth the (possible) consequences.

Exactly, I, for example, can't really control my temper while driving. So the best remedy for me is to watch road rage videos on YouTube to remind me what could happen to anyone on the road, learning from others lesson really helps me

there may have been other witnesses we don't know. he wasn't just sitting there, he was recording it for evidence.

as for why he didn't 'raise a finger', it's hard to imagine anything more stupid he could have done. i believe in the video a couple of lawsuits or legal accusations are mentioned so he doesn't want to give law enforcement ANY reason to think he escalated the situation.

i think he reacted incredibly WELL considering! but then it was a honda...
