Chas.

I'd figure they'll either find his fingerprints on the door handle, or they won't. That will be a telling piece of information.

This is an extraordinarily naive statement.

Forget about a clueless reporter looking like an idiot on Youtube.

If you ask anyone who has ever served as a volunteer firearm or EMT if someone who knows what they are doing can get through a car window, the response will be a person can get through a car window and start choking you or striking blows to the head in under 2 seconds. If someone has their handgun holstered on their right hip under the seatbelt, you could be in legitimate fear of death or serious bodily injury before you even have a change to draw your handgun.

I'll leave all the other arguing about provocation, road manners, "who said what when to whom" alone as it is pure speculation. But someone beating on your window presenting a legitimate threat is not pure speculation, it is a simple fact.
