[QUOTE="Sam Shoun, post: 2208969, member: 15489"] I think the valuable take-away here is that we should act to avoid initiating contact with an apparent threat. An "apparent threat" could be a speeder in the campground or neighborhood, a tailgater, a tweaker in the park, etc. In the case of the camper, they had cell coverage and could have just reported the speeder to the sheriff. I live on a residential through-street, and the speeders drive me crazy. But I realize that initiating contact with them, whether by flashlight, gesturing, or shouting, is likely to create conflict. And since they've already demonstrated a criminal inclination and wreckless disregard for my family's safety, is it safer to assume that conflict will self-diffuse or escalate? [/QUOTE]
