I was alarmed to read who the "victim" was. But I was glad to see that the reader comments revealed some sanity.

This reader comment says it all:

"In this case, macho man went to a gunfight without a gun. And I have no sympathy for him even if he did probably wet his pants when he saw what he'd gotten himself into. Hell. Get out of your car and storm up on me when my family's in my car and see id the same thing doesn't happen."

Of course the "victim" followed the car for several more miles and never got a license plate number.
