Re: monster trucked to death?
Yeah, that's my philosophy too.

Re: monster trucked to death?
I think I posted this someplace else, but I'll put in the quick version here. My father got screwed with on the road and screwed back (prevented a car from passing in a no passing zone) both parties were completely in the wrong. The initiator of the interaction cut my father off at a stop sign, jumped out and ran back toward the car, my father pulled his pistol and showed it to the guy. Guy called the cops, we all went to court and my dad got hit with "brandishing" and 6 months probation. This was in AZ years ago, but I think that there are enough similarities that a similar conclusion might be in the offing for your brother.
As for my own personal experience with something like this, (which is part of why I own guns and carry now). Coming back from a buddy's house in Melissa, we had a guy in a black Impala (an old cop car that had been spray painted) started following me and then moved up and started trying to run us off the road. I had my wife and baby son in the car. He followed us off an exit and then back on the freeway, and I finally got off the freeway again at the last second, but he actually stopped on the overpass and watched me while I called the police from a gas station. The guy left by the time the cops arrived, and they escorted us out of town, but within a month of that encounter I purchased my first handgun. It doesn't really apply to this situation, but I thought I'd share anyway.
