A Rant About A Bad Driver in Northern California

So we were trying to do our usual weekend rounds of going to church and buying groceries and supplies for the week. 

Stay away from this guy!!
While we are at 99 Ranch Market in Dublin, CA. I dropped off my wife in front of the market. As I was turning slowly towards the parking area, this asian person following us on a Volvo SUV decided to blow his horn on me. It was loud that our sleeping toddler on his car seat on the back seat woke up and cried. He then decided to drive past me speeding. But little did he know, I was actually slowing down for a minivan trying to back out of the parking. 

So this asian guy, as he was speeding trying to drive past me, almost hit this minivan and another car coming. 

I was so furious because he woke up our toddler and stupid drivers like this just makes my blood boil. 

And just as soon as I parked (same spot as the minivan), I saw this same guy driving fast on the other side of the parking. I was staring at him till he got off his car. Then this clueless guy threw a bad finger at me. I got off our car and almost rushed to confront him. I just then realized that our little one will be left alone in the car so I let him be.

Then this idiot of a guy thought he's a tough one and so rushed to confront me while I was standing next to our car. He asked me if I had a problem. I then firmly said, "Yes, I do have a problem because him blowing his horn was unnecessary and that he woke up our toddler". And with an annoying tone, he said "so I woke up your baby" and that he is in a free country and that he can do whatever he wants. So I thought, this arrogant stupid idiot is totally clueless. So I replied to him that he's f*&^g stupid. And that made him even more angry saying that he chose not to wait and blew his horn and that he's free to choose what he wants. So I exclaimed, standing my ground face to face with him, "then I chose to be safe and waited for the minivan to back out of the parking and repeated that he really is stupid, so what's his point?" He then pushed me trying to prove he's a better and stronger man. I then said, "do you know that I can sue you for that". He said, now in a more cautious tone, "what for?". I replied, "Assault, you stupid!". For which he said, I assaulted him first. But he did not know, I was waiting for him to make the first move. I was trying hard to restrain myself because I am smarter than him, that I know he's on the losing side if he kept on. At some point, I was waiting for him to hit me, even. It would have been a sure win case and I'd sue his arrogant ass. 

I guess the bottom-line here is that there are still people having the idea that freedom means doing whatever they want to choose to do. But one's freedom ends where another's rights begin. 

He totally ignored basic road courtesy and endangered other people around him. Just for that, he does not deserve having a driver license, a privilege on its own. Then he assaulted me as if he's a caveman trying to prove he's a stronger man. 

He drives a new Volvo SUV. So is he entitled to drive the way he did (or does) or behave the way he did? Totally clueless, this guy.

I have nothing against someone's race, color, gender or social standing. If he emigrated to the US and got his papers approved, then I very well know that there are more deserving people than him. If he was born here, then I think it was a failure on his parents that they did not teach him the value of his status, that there are people risking their lives to keep the freedom that he so claims to have without realizing what it truly means. If you were a soldier, would you go to war for this guy? If you were a parent of a soldier, would you allow your child to fight for freedom, the same kind of freedom that this guy was talking about?
